Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween is held in October every year. On that day, teachers and students wear different costumes to pretend to be their favourite characters. Students can also learn English vocabulary and understand more about Western culture through playing different stall games and making handcrafts.
English Days
English Days usually last for 2 days. During the English Days, students play hunting game at school. Clues are stuck around the school, so students have to find them and solve the problems. They can also play various English stall games at recess.
English Competition
Students are divided into 4 groups to represent their houses in the competition. The representatives in each house need to answer certain types of questions, including phonics, spelling and word guessing. Apart from English knowledge, it enables students to apply their problem-solving and communication skills to answer questions in teams in the competition.
