n the 31st of October, our school had a

Halloween party. More than one thousand

students joined the Halloween party. Our

school is very keen about health, which means it

does not sell

any sweets

o r s o f t

drinks. But

on that day,

we could eat

sweets and

chocolates.

The party

was during

recess and

lunch time. All students wore different kinds of

costumes.

About 20% of the girl students wore witch

costumes, and others wore princess, king and

Spiderman costumes. All students felt excited and

happy. They said trick or treat to other students and

teachers to get sweets. Even some teachers wore

costumes! The teachers also felt happy because the

students were very quiet on that day during their

lessons. The school will have another Halloween

party next year.

n the 22nd of October, 2011, all teachers, students

and about three hundred parents went to Hong

Kong Park. They arrived at 9:00 a.m. by school bus

and left at 3:00 p.m. The students were excited before

the trip because they love playing games and they don’t

usually get to play together with the whole grade.

When everyone got there, they took a photo.

Then, the students followed the teachers to the big

playground that looked like a football field. They all ate

something and took a rest there. In the afternoon, they

played a special

game with class-

mates. It was a pass

the hula hoop game.

The students passed

the hula hoop with

their whole body, but

using no hands and

no touching. They

were like snakes. It was fun! The game was quick and

exciting. At last, some of the classes, like 4E, 5E, and 6B,

won the game. The winners got prizes, like food and

biscuits.

After playing the game, everyone had lunch.

Students had ham sandwiches and bread. Next, it was

free time, and they could do whatever they wanted.

Some students walked around Hong Kong Park. There

are many interesting places in Hong Kong Park.

Students could watch birds that were colourful and sang

some wonderful songs. Students could see a tall tower

and walk up to the top. It had more than one hundred

steps! All visitors could see the view from there. Some

students felt tired after they went up the tower. Others

said they saw a few men doing exercise by running up

the tower many times. Those men are very strong!

The teachers felt relaxed that day because they

did not have to teach the children or punish them. Eden

Chan in 5E said, “The picnic was good but tiring!”

n October, our school library opened. It has been open for about one

month. It is beautiful and new, but it is smaller than Ho Yat Tung’s old

library. There are some interesting chairs and sofas. They look like

balls, and they are comfortable. Also, the teachers put many colourful and

beautiful decorations on the wall.

There are many new books, like Math books, English stories and

Chinese books. The most popular story is “Three Little Pigs.” Most of the P6

students like reading science books because they can learn more, but many

students like to read stories because they are interesting. Although not all

books are there, a lot of students love the library because they can choose

between Chinese and English books, and we can learn more English too. There are also some magazines, so we

can learn about the news. Students can go there during recess and after lunch, but it is closed before exams.

Audrey Chan in 6D said, “I feel happy and excited in the library because the books are interesting.”

Do you like going to the library? Go borrow some books if you like.

I

Louie Wong (5C)

y goal is to pass the grade 5 piano exam. I

am in grade 2 piano now. I started to play

piano when I was six years old. My sister

passed the grade 8 piano exam last year, and I don’t

want to fall behind her. I can be more hardworking

and practise the piano each

day for twenty to forty minutes.

I also want to be first in

P5. This is difficult because

there are more pupils than

before, but it is important to

me to get into a top secondary

school.

M

Crystal Wan (5A)

y goal this year is to

participate in more activities

so that I can learn more

things. I will join piano class. In

piano class, I will try to play well and

learn about melody. I hope I can be

good at that!

Sam Wong (6D)

y goal is to get good marks

in my exams and to be

healthier. I want to get good

marks because I want to go to a

good secondary school. I will do

more revision, so I will not forget the

things that I have learned. I want to

have a healthy body because if I am

weak, I can’t do anything. I will eat

more healthy food, like vegetables,

fruits, and eggs. I will not eat so

much meat because meat has too

much oil and will make me fat.

M Kimberley Tam (6D)

y goal this year is to get

good marks so that I can

go to a good secondary

school.

Also, I want to be taller. I will

join the basketball team, and I will

work hard to reach my goal and

pay attention to the lessons. I will do exercises every

day too. It is important to me because then my future

will be more interesting and other people will not

laugh at me because I am short.

ur school,

Lee Kam

P r i m a r y

School, is going to

have a sky garden,

and the children

are very excited.

But no one has any

information about the sky garden! It is mysterious.

We only know that the sky garden is on the sixth

floor, and the road between the sixth floor and the sky

garden has been finished. The sky garden has just been

finished too! We don’t know any more about the sky

garden because it is locked and no one can go inside,

but if you want to have a look at it, we will tell you how

to go there. First, go to the sixth floor and walk in front

of the 6E class and turn your whole body to the bridge

and keep going. When you see a small gate, inside is

the sky garden.

Kammy in 4B said, “I hope it has many flowers.”

Angel in 4B said, “I hope we can go to the sky

garden.”

Other sky gardens are beautiful too, and we hope

our sky garden will be as beautiful as the sky garden at

HSBC Mong Kok Building. We also hope our sky garden

gives everyone a relaxing feeling.

r. Liu is the 5B class

teacher. He teaches 5B

Math and the PE lesson. He

always makes children laugh,

and he tells funny stories.

One time, he told a

story about how he was a

naughty boy when he was

young. His teachers would use

a ruler to hit the palm of his

hand, but Mr. Liu would

quickly move his hand away.

He said it did not hurt, but his

hands would be sweaty

because he was scared.

We know Mr. Liu was

naughty when he was young,

but now he is an excellent

teacher. He does not want

students to get bored. Some-

times students do not do their

work, so he tells funny stories

to help us.

We also like it when the

football team wins a football

match because Mr. Liu and the team will sing some

famous traditional songs. Mr. Liu is amazing!

n the 18th of September, our school held

birthday parties. We celebrated the birthday

students in our own classrooms, and we held the

parties after we went to the school picnic in Hong

O Kong Park.

The parties were for students who had

birthdays from September to December. We

decorated our classrooms before the parties.

Halloween is in October, so we put some

Halloween stickers, like ghosts, witches, spiders,

and pumpkins, on the windows, doors and walls.

The students liked them very much. We also stuck

some photos about birthdays, like some birthday

cakes and hats. (continued on p. 4)

n 14th November,

workers finished

our beauti fu l

playground. The whole

school had been waiting

for two months!

When there was no

playground, students ate

food and talked in the

classrooms. The students

say the new playground

is big and beautiful. The

teachers also say that it

is big.

The new playground is much bigger than the old

one. It is actually two times bigger than the old one was.

There are some things that no one knows about it, like

when the running track will open. There are more things

to use, like basketball nets and two football goals.

Kelvin Wong in 6C said, “I like this playground

very much because it’s bigger.”

Kiki Po in 6D said, “I like this playground very

much because it is beautiful.”

The playground is blue, red and yellow. The floor is

made of leather rubber so that the students won’t slip

and fall down.

Carmen Or (5A)

y goal this year is to participate in

more activities so that I can learn

more new things. This year, I will join

a badminton team

and a piano class.

On the bad-

minton team, I

will try to play

and learn more

about badminton.

I hope I can do

well in badmin-

ton.

(School Holds First Birthday Parties, continued from p. 3)

We did many interesting things, like playing

games, singing a song and giving gifts to the birthday

students. Some students’ parents brought birthday

cakes. The birthday cakes were delicious and sweet!

Some of the classes ate chocolate cake and others ate

candies.

Before we ate the birthday cakes, we took photos.

Students did not want to wear uniforms because the

photos would be more beautiful, and students would be

more comfortable out of uniforms.

Crystal in 6D said, “I felt happy and enjoyed the

birthday party very much because I could play with my

friends and eat birthday cake.”

We hope the birthday parties in the future will

come very soon! Next time, we hope we can have the

party on the playground with the whole school. It would

be even more exciting.

Tiffany Leung (6C)

y goals this year are to get good

results in Chinese, English, Maths and

General Studies. It is important

because I am in P.6, and I need to choose a

good secondary school!

I also want to

participate in more

activities so that I can

learn more things. I

will study hard and

listen to the teacher in

lessons.

These goals are

very important because my wishes can

change my whole life. I can study in univer-

sity and learn new things. I hope my goals

can come true!

y goal is to get good marks on my

tests, so I can go to a good secondary

school. Also, I want to join the badmin-

ton team because I should do more exercise

to keep fit. These goals are important to me

because they are my dream. I will work hard

to reach my goal.
