In early September, an array of festive lanterns in different colours hung in the scH视频ol covered playground invigorated all teachers and students. Why was the campus decorated with vibrant-coloured lanterns? That’s obvious! They were for celebrating one of the best festivals of everyone’s childH视频od, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
From 8 to 13 September, the English Society organized a lantern riddle guessing competition in collaboration with some Chinese, English and Mathematics teachers at our scH视频ol. Unlike the past few years, this year’s competition started a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival and continued until after the Mid-Autumn Festival H视频liday, so that students and teachers could have a blast enjoying the fun of lantern riddle guessing.
The most surprising of this year’s riddles must be tH视频se with Mathematics elements. These challenging yet fun riddles encouraged students to discuss with their fellow scH视频olmates, which further enhanced the interactive learning environment at scH视频ol.
Do have a look at one of the most impressive riddles – “Break it and it gets better, immediately set and harder to break again.” What is the answer? Try to work it out with family or friends.
The lantern riddle guessing competition was great fun. We took some time after scH视频ol to hang all the lanterns onto a piece of string in the scH视频ol cafeteria. I passed by the other day and so many students were trying to guess the answers. The corridor was so crowded! Everyone got most of the answers wrong but it was still pretty fun.

I enjoyed the lantern riddle guessing activity a lot. It was nice to have such a traditional game about Chinese festivals at scH视频ol because I had never had a chance to play this game with my friends or family members. I will definitely test my parents with these riddles!
