Handan, China. Children take part in the Chinese tradition of eating watermelons or peaches, 'biting away summer' to symbolise the beginning of the autumn. In 2015 the beginning of autumn started on August 8th.
- Do you think the children are enjoying taking part in this tradition?
- Why do you think the children are eating the watermelons in that way and not in a bowl with a spoon?
- Look at the face of the child behind the eaters; what is that child thinking/ saying?
- Why do you think watermelons or peaches are used to say goodbye to summer, not baked beans or chocolate?
- Do we have any traditions in the UK for celebrating summer or autumn (harvest festival)
