NET Scheme News 2023 Summer issue 44

Activities To Our P3 Experiential Learning Day returned in 2023 and we decided on the theme of a ‘World Trip’. Our school runs a modified version of PLP-RW and this theme matched with the Amy’s Diary unit,which is about travel and exploring new places. We were also keen to reintroduce the students to the world of travel after the years of travel restrictions. For ourWorldTrip event wewanted to focus on hands-on activities. Students visited different locations in our school, which were turned into different countries.We planned to vary the activities, so we could offer some high-energy activities alongside relaxing or creative ones. Primary 3 ‘World Trip’ – PLK Grandmont Primary School We started the day by gathering in the school’s Lecture Theatre. To better immerse the students in the world of travel, it was decorated to resemble the Hong Kong International Airport, complete with boarding gates and windows overlooking airplanes. I played the host and dressed up as a pilot. We took the opportunity to explain the themes of the day, which were new experiences and showing respect for other cultures. Our school was eager for the NET and other English teachers to share our own culture and experiences with the students, so we added Australia and the Philippines as destinations. Australia Activity 1: Amazing Aussie Animals Students learntaboutmany new amazing animals from Australia. I created this game because I wanted students to learn about other Australian animals beyond kangaroos and koalas. Each student could throw three heart emojis into the bucket of the animal they liked. Each bucket had different point values and the sizes of the buckets also varied. Time to fly!
