Mother tongue fortnight

Mother Tongue Fortnight (MTF) is an event hosted by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to appreciate our mother tongue. This event is being carried out in many schools around Singapore and it also is being conducted in my school.
Last Monday was the start of the MTF event and to commemorate the start of this event, my school had an "East Spring got talent" event in conjunction with MTF during assembly. "East Spring got talent" is an event where East Springians get a chance to showcase their talent. The many auditions lasted several months and the judges finally came out with 3 solo person and groups to qualify for the finals. Their task to win this competition went unexpected when they were told that they are suppose to showcase a song in their respective mother tongue!
The finalists practiced hard and perfomed on stage during last Monday's assembly.
Another MTF event that happen in my school is the "Chinese Cultural" event which was held today for the sec 3s.
We learned to pour Chinese tea, make mooncakes, do Chinese painting and do Chinese paper cutting.
I feel that these events organized by the MOE is quite meaningful because none of us actually make mooncakes at home or even does Chinese painting!
Hopefully there will be more interesting events coming up! The next event I am looking forward to us the National Day celebration!
