After busy art lessons in October, all lanterns were finally prepared and the children were ready for the lantern walk.

Together with their parents, siblings and friends they met on the Primary playground in the evening of the 8th November.

The lantern walk started with three popular lantern songs, accompanied by musicians from SISS Secondary. After a walk in the dark around the SBS premises and a second gathering to sing three more songs, everybody returned to the SISS Primary for a hot drink and a “Weckmann”.
