Taking a new twist on a traditional staple—To celebrate the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, students in our Mandarin program have been experiencing the mooncake making process. Traditionally, mooncakes are made from red bean or lotus seed paste and may contain the yolk of a salted duck egg. These small treasures have been enjoyed this way for generations. Under the guidance and encouragement of ISNS’ amazing teaching staff, our students are shaking things up a bit and have decided to creatively add some new flavors to their mooncakes this year. What a great way to celebrate the traditions of our host country while at the same time celebrating the individuality and uniqueness of each child.

打破传统-为迎接即将到来的中秋佳节，中文项目的学生体验了月饼制作活动。传统月饼一般是用红豆和莲蓉做馅，有时馅里会包一个咸鸭蛋黄。这些细小而宝贵的传统如珍宝般世代相传。在ISNS老师的指导和鼓励下，今年我们的学生颠覆传统，决定在月饼里加入新的味道，独具创意。这是多好的一个庆祝中国传统文化，同时庆祝每位学生拥有独立性和独特性的方式啊！
