Pudong Grade 3: Dragon Boat Festival

Third grade students at the Pudong Campus celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival on May 23rd, 2017. The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped to form a pyramid using bamboo) and racing dragon boats. Students learned all about the festival and also made their own paper dragon boats.
