Sharing Session on Language Arts

4/27/2017

Headmistress and English Department with the EDB team after the session

Education Bureau's Networking Activity of the Empowerment Workshop on Effective English Language Learning brought us the opportunity (thanks also to the liaison by the Hong Kong Schools Music and Speech Association) to share our English curriculum to more than 60 teachers from about 30 primary schools in Hong Kong on 26 April 2017, in the English Room.

Senior Curriculum Development Officer Ms Isabella Hung introduced the programme of the session, followed by my overview on the English curriculum in terms of language arts. Miss Angel Leung and Ms Jenny Ho then engaged the audience with how we do choral speaking training.

The English Department looks forward to having more opportunities to share our experience with more and more teaching professionals.

A New Experience - Beijing Study Tour 2017

Performing at the Golden Hall - The Great Hall of the People

P.6 Beijing Study Tour 2017, 18-22 Apr 2017

My fourth consecutive year leading the P.6 Graduation Tour, and the second consecutive year with Beijing as the destination - what I can easily conclude is, it's an amazing experience for all!

Five days flew like a flight. I still feel the excitement and anticipation prior to the trip, forgetting that I have come back for 3 days! Looking at the pictures I took, the colours, joy, vibrancy, heat, and brotherhood still strike me. I took four 6A boys as my group-mates throughout the tour, and these kids, as well as the others, have definitely learned more than subject knowledge - I am glad seeing them grow in self-management, discipline, problem solving and cooperation!

To highlight the special moments of the journey in 10 pictures, here are my choices:

Our boys on stage with Mrs Lam at the main auditorium, The Great Hall of the People

1. The Great Hall of the People is now not only a representation of authority and power, it is now a gift, a fond memory for our P.6 graduates!

Flying at the Forbidden City

2. A demonstration of anti-gravity is not forbidden in the Forbidden City! (Except for drones!)

Climbing the Great Wall of China

3. Doing selfies is never a selfish act! You always find more people in the picture than you expect!

At the Summer Palace

4. See the point of this picture? Tell you in the end! ^o^

On the way to the Aviation Museum

5. Weird little cute thing here...this sort of motor tricycles are everywhere in Beijing! Some are used as taxis, some for private use. Wanna get in one?

Outside the Temple of Heaven

6. You always find a master in the streets. The aged water calligrapher amazed all by writing with a big brush, a bucket of water, and a peaceful heart. The words evaporated in minutes - good things don't always stay.

At the hotel's convenience store

7. Shopping, even in a convenience store, was always a joyous moment that wasn't an official event in our tour guidebook.

At Parkview Green

8. Architectural wonder in Beijing! This amazing mall makes even the best looking malls in Hong Kong look not special!

Temple of Heaven with Mr and Mrs Lam

9. Who says Beijing doesn't have a blue sky? This year's Beijing weather was as good as last year's!

Boys at the hotel room

10. Night time activities - working on the booklet, and being distracted by the TV.

That's it for this year's P.6 Study Tour in Beijing. I believe that it has become something that the upcoming P.6 YWPS boys are looking forward to. I am also looking forward to writing my reflection again next year!

So, these are my special moments captured, what are yours?

P.S. So, what's so special about this picture? Ha! That's the 1 short sleeve T-shirt from Julian (1st from left) vs Ryan's (2nd from right) 3 coats under the scorching sun!

Not sure if someone underestimated his endurance or overestimated the chill! The fact was, it was close to 30 degrees Celsius at that spot!
