Lantern Making Session

The Lantern Festival is just round the corner. This is one of my favorite festivals. This year, it falls on a Sunday. To celebrate the event, my school organized an outing at The Esplanade on the eve of the Lantern Festival. The trip was to let us learn how to make lanterns.

We set off from school at 9 am. There were about 40 of us from different levels. It took us half an hour to reach our destination. All of us were very excited.

When we reach there, we headed straight to one of the studios, where we were supposed to learn how to make lanterns. Rice papers, coloured markers, and mounted boards were given to us. We started to keep ourselves busy. There was much fun and laughter. A Malay teacher was there to teach us how to make lanterns.

I completed my lantern in about an hour and a half. I even added a candle holder and a string. A teacher commented that the design on my lantern was very colourful. I was happy. When everyone was done, we took a group photo with our lanterns.
