On 30th May 2022, the Italian International Nursery & Kindergarten held a Dragon Boat Festival to introduce children to the cultural meaning, significance and origins of this traditional Chinese festival. Many activities were held to commemorate Qu Yuan (340-278 BC) a patriotic poet who drowned himself for his country. The children made paper dragon crafts, enjoyed festive storytelling in English and Chinese, learned about how rice dumplings are prepared and made pretty little scented bags which repel insects. It was a really fun day!
