On 14th December 2016, our LKP students invited their mummies and daddies to school to share their learning of their second unit ‘Cities can develop and change’ under the transdisciplinary theme ‘Where we are in place and time.’ During this unit the LKP inquired into how and why Hong Kong has developed and changed. They visited the Hong Kong Museum of History, built and created their own cities and learnt about the concepts of form, change and causation. The children presented some of their learning and understanding from the units in small groups, sang some Putonghua songs and then led their parents around various learning engagements within the classroom to demonstrate their developing skills and knowledge. The children were proud and excited to invite their parents into their classrooms and to take the lead in sharing their work and learning. We hope the parents enjoyed the experience too! Here are some photographs from the SLC:

KidsFest 2017
This year, Kidsfest once again provided an opportunity for the children to experience a live performance and learn about audience etiquette. The Pre-‐Nursery classes went to watch the dramatic performance “Shark In The Park” on Wednesday 11th January; The Nursery and the LKP classes went to watch “The First Hippo On The Moon” on Thursday 12th January. Many parents came to watch the show with their children and we would like to thank the accompanying adults for their help and support throughout the trip. All our students enjoyed the performance and behaved very well. See you in 2018, Kidsfest!
On Friday 9th June 2017, all of our PYP classes including PN, N and LKP will be hosting a student-‐led conference and will be inviting all parents to come along as the children share their learning journey with you! Save the date.

On 16th December, the school was once again filled with festive cheer. The whole school was transformed into a Christmas carnival. There were a variety of Christmas activities, including a visit from Santa in his grotto, a Christmas disco, Christmas sensory play, Christmas tattoos, Christmas bowling, Christmas storytelling and a jumble sale. Thank you to the class mums for helping to coordinate food to be brought in and to all the parents for preparing and providing the food. The event ended with a round of Christmas carolling by each of the classes. We thank you for your patience and cooperation during the carolling and performance, and hope you had a lovely winter break with family and friends. On behalf of Foodlink, the charity we choose to support, we would like to thank you for all your generosity. We collected a total of $10,979 to donate to them to help feed the homeless and the elderly, and all the other work they do. Below is a message from Foodlink:
