On June 11, the Italian International Nursery & Kindergarten held a Dragon Boat Festival Fun Day for the children to help them understand the culture and significance behind this custom. Workshops are very important for the Reggio learning experience, so the teachers held a cooking class and an art class in small groups, offering a light and shadow experience as well. Throughout the morning, the children listened to the story of the Dragon Boat Festival, learning about its origin and significance, recited a themed nursery rhyme and visited the light and shadow room, which transported them right in the middle of a dragon boat competition and cooked “rice dumplings” to protect Qu Yuan’s body using the projector. under the guidance of the art teacher, the children admired the patterns and colours on the dragon boat and then designed and coloured the scales of his/ her own dragon. Finally, the children observed and examined the ingredients used to make rice dumplings using their five senses and made their own using red bean fillings. The children also received a dumpling from the school. We hope you all have fun during this Dragon Boat Festival!
