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:
Picture
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!
Picture
Flying at the Forbidden City
2. A demonstration of anti-gravity is not forbidden in the Forbidden City! (Except for drones!)
Picture
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!
Picture
At the Summer Palace
4. See the point of this picture? Tell you in the end! ^o^
Picture
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?
Picture
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.
Picture
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!
Picture

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

Snapshot - "Who dares to dream?" in rehearsal
Results from The Hong Kong Schools Drama Festival 2016/17 are extremely encouraging to our Drama Team this year.

Led by Mr Thomas Ching and Ms Idy Kwok, our English Drama Team playing "Who Dares to Dream?" is awarded as follows:
​
- Adjudicators' Award
- Award for Outstanding Director (Mr Thomas Ching)
- Award for Outstanding Script (Mr Thomas Ching)
- Award for Outstanding Performer (Anson Ng 6C, Edgar Cheng 4E, Daniel Cheng 6C, Ethan Yan 6E, Mike Wong 6E, Nikolas Li 5D, Aidan Hsu 6E, Monet Lam 5E, Matthew Chan 6E, Jonathan Chan 6E)


Not only is the unprecedentedly 10 boys being awarded in acting amazing, it is also a great honour that our team receive their first Adjudicator's Award, together with their first invitation to perform in public (14 May, Tsuen Wan City Hall)!

HUGE congratulations to our boys and coaches! These boys will certainly be brought back for our in-house Drama Fiesta in June so that all our schoolmates can enjoy the great story on stage together! Simply can't wait to see these acting geniuses in action again! Stay tuned!
