Primary School

The entire school system here in Hong Kong is different from the States. Another example of a difference is that the 6th graders have to interview for which school they will attend the next year. Seventh grade (Form 1 here) is the grade that my school starts. So Saturday I went with some other teachers to one of the nearby primary schools to interview the 6th graders. Basically, I asked them questions about themselves and their families. When asked about their families, many of them responded with something like this: "My family has 4 members. I have a hardworking father and a beautiful mother and a younger brother. On Sundays we like to go to the park and play games together, we love each other very much." What a cute response, but after listening to over 60 students, it was very tiring.

While we were waiting for the interviews to start, I went into the assembly hall and watched some of the younger girls practicing for the choral speaking competition. I couldn't help myself and I had to record it. They are doing a poem in Chinese. The video is just ok, it was so cute in person.



After practicing the girls took a little break. They are so adorable...
