Recently, G4 students engaged in a unique practical activity during their Character Education class. They delved into the study of Chinese traditional festival culture, gaining a deep understanding of the origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival while personally crafting traditional sachets. Additionally, they collaborated in groups to create a lapbook about traditional festivals.

The teacher first introduced the historical background and cultural significance of the Dragon Boat Festival in the class, igniting the students' strong interest in traditional festivals. Subsequently, the students learned how to make sachets for the Dragon Boat Festival. They carefully selected sachet bags, filled them with ingredients such as mug wort leaves, and crafted the sachets themselves. Through this process, they not only experienced the custom of wearing sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival but also felt the health benefits of sachets in repelling mosquitoes and preventing diseases.

The class then worked together in groups to create lapbooks about traditional festivals. A lapbook is a handmade thematic book that compiles a series of related materials and presents them in a three-dimensional format.

The students fully utilised their teamwork spirits, collecting information, designing layouts, and creating illustrations. They ultimately completed exquisite and meaningful lapbooks, each one introducing one of China's four major traditional festivals: the Spring Festival, Tomb Sweeping Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival.
