English Wonderland
English Wonderland is on 2nd Floor. It is a special room for English fun games. Before you enter the room, you must take off your shoes because it is carpeted. The walls are decorated with beautiful paintings of sea animals and creatures. When you are sitting inside the room, you feel like swimming with packs of fish. Kids love to come here because there are comfortable cushions and lots of cute little soft toys sitting on the floor, waiting for you to hug them. The English ambassadors meet the children every week. They play games and read stories to students from lower levels. You are welcome to come and join them.
NET teacher
I am Zaheer Ahmed. I am the Native-speaking English Teacher (NET) at S.K.H Chai Wan St. Michael’s Primary School. I have been working as a NET at this school for two years. I teach phonics, readers and secondary school interview skills. My other duties include training students for the Hong Kong Speech Festival, playing English games with students during recess, and promoting school themes.
When I am not working, I enjoy reading, travelling, and watching movies. I enjoy reading both fiction and non-fiction books. One of my favourite books is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. It is a really magical book. Have you read it yet?
My motto: The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you will go – Dr Zeus.

They also had a lot of fun coming up with ideas and making them a reality for the final performance.

P.1 students enjoyed doing catwalk a lot. In this activity, students demonstrated reading and writing competence by writing a description of their outfit and commenting on the outfit of another student. Students also had a chance to write out descriptions of their outfit on a note card as if they were the commentators in a fashion show. They could commentate while their peers walk the runway in their outfit. All students were thrilled when they talked about their clothing on the stage. |

Role-playing is a great way for students to try out their English and students love it! All P.2 students liked having the chance to use their language in a realistic way, and they took the role-play much further than teachers had thought possible! The quieter students also came out of themselves in which their ‘new identities’ gave them the confidence to speak. |

P.6 students went on a trip to some famous Hong Kong tourist attactions this year. They travelled to the Peak, Stanley and Tsim Sha Tsui. It was an exciting and educational trip to enhance the students’ social skills and develop their knowledge of Hong Kong. Students were required to interview tourists. They needed to engage with people and places outside the classroom. This motivated the students and helped to build their self-confidence. Everyone had a wonderful time and had a chance to look at some popular Hong Kong tourist attractions. |
