Students' Good Work
English Activities
Dictation Billboard
Here are our star pupils who did a terrific job this year:
Scavenger Hunt
Our students had to walk around the school to find the clues, solve the riddles, search for the hidden QR codes and finish the missions.
Kahoot! Super Bowl
Our students had great fun joining this quiz game in the hall and tested their knowledge on what they had learnt throughout the year.
New Zealand Study Tour
In order to broaden students’ worldwide perspectives and develop their linguistic and interpersonal skills, our school organised a 12-day study tour to New Zealand in June. Both English lessons and excursion visits were scheduled for the trip. Our students had an opportunity to attend different classes at a local school in New Zealand and immerse themselves in the English learning environment. Also, our students had several sightseeing trips to the famous tourist spots in Auckland. Students had learnt a lot about the New Zealand culture, which they could never get from books. Apart from lessons in the local school and the eye-opening visits, staying with local families was also a unique and incredible opportunity for our students. They had an opportunity to experience the life of local people and practice their oral English every day. This study tour was a treasurable and memorable experience for the students.
Readers’ Theatre
Our P2 students were invited to join the readers’ theatre with Miss Helen. Stories and plays will be introduced to the students to create more opportunities for them to practise and enhance their reading and speaking skills.
Language-rich Activities
Different kinds of language activities are held every week during recess. It allows the students to speak more in English and interact with Mrs Martin, Miss Helen, and our English ambassadors.
