Diversified Learning Activities
Various English learning activities such as the English Party Day, LCKPS Storyland Day, One Minute Talk, P1 Storytelling, E readers’ Program and E-learning are arranged for cultivating and enhancing students’ interests in learning and using English.
LCKPS Storyland Day
The aptly named Storyland was themed around Aesop’s Fables, and our students had the opportunity to act as their favourite books’ characters. Let’s take a glimpse at the memorable moments of this special event during various COVID restrictions.
One Minute Talk
'One Minute Talk' is a book-sharing session where students are supposed to introduce a book they have read, within the duration of a minute. Students' confidence in speaking English is expected to be boosted.
P1 Storytelling
By telling stories in an interesting and authentic way, we aim to cultivate students’ interest in reading English books. During the storytelling sessions, Native English teacher works with the local teachers to tell stories to P.1 students. Students enjoy the lessons very much.
E readers’ Program: Raz Kids
Raz Kids is an online guided reading program with interactive eBooks and reading quizzes. Our students are encouraged to read books tailor-made for their interests and language levels to build reading fluency and comprehension.
E learning
E-learning tools, like Nearpod and Kahoot!, are widely used in our English lessons to engage students and enhance learning effectiveness. Apart from in-class activities, our students are also encouraged to do self-directed learning with the help of Padlet, Wordwall and so on.
