English Carnival l 3 April

文字方塊: Learning English through various fun activities is always the goal of the Primary School. It is what our teachers all do in the daily lessons with our students. Extending it beyond the classroom, this year the English Department kicked off a fun-filled event to weave language and culture together – it’s English Carnival! The children had so much fun with the treasure hunt and collective games running around everywhere looking for clues and winning prizes. The interactive science show let the children explore the Bernoulli’s Principle and the simple science magic amazed us all. The event has not only brought us fond memories but also the pleasure and pride that we all took in being a part of this amazing experience.
