II. External English Activities

It’s our great pleasure to have 40 students from Australian International School to visit our P.6 students on 29th October. They prepared a lot of group games and creative activities for our students. Students were motivated to communicate with others in English under a relaxing environment. It was a golden opportunity for our students to learn English in a fun way. They all enjoyed the visit.

On 26th November, 2010, all our P.6 students visited Australian International School.  The students in Australian International School took them to walk around the campus.  They had opportunities to listen and speak in English.  They had a wonderful and enjoyable afternoon.

It’s our great pleasure that some of the P.5 students were invited to join the handicrafts lesson on 31st March 2011 in Australian International School.  Students had to listen to the instructions and design the shape of their key chains.  They worked together with the Australian students happily.  Students were motivated to communicate with others in English under a relaxing environment.  It was a great opportunity for our students to learn English in a fun way.  They all enjoyed the lesson and they had their beautiful key chains.

Four Primary 6 students, Anthea Cheng (6A), Nadia Tsang (6B), Queenie Ng (6C) and Jessie Leung (6D), performed in the radio show ‘The Sunday Smile’ in early 2010.
