My school life in Hong Kong

香港小学生的校园生活有什么不一样？

Hey everyone! I am Yang Qiao.

I live in the New Territories (新界) of Hong Kong. I am a fourth-grader at the Education University of Hong Kong Jockey Club Primary School. At my school, there are many interesting classes and activities. Let me show you my day at school.

Morning reading (8:40-9:10)

We read our textbooks. If it is Monday, we usually have a flag-raising ceremony (升旗仪式). We sing the national anthem (国歌) and our school song.

First class (9:10-9:50)

Most of our classes are like yours. We have Chinese, math and English every day. We also have many other interesting classes. One of my favorites is computer studies. I learn programming (编程) skills to make simple online games or even music.

Second class (9:50-10:30)

Another class I enjoy is general studies (常识课). This class covers knowledge of different subjects. For example, we learn the history of the Qin Dynasty (秦朝). We also do some fun science experiments.

Interest classes (15:45-16:45)

My school offers 4 different interest classes (兴趣课) after school. I used to do swimming. Look, my face got tanned (晒黑) in the summer sun! Other interest classes include (包括) soccer, basketball and table tennis. Do you have these classes?

School is over (15:40)

Eighth class (15:10-15:40)

Seventh class (14:30-15:10)

We have physical education (体育) classes twice a week. Like you, we also need to practice (练习) rope skipping.

Our school holds a sports meet every year. Each student is an athlete (运动员). We try our best to compete. Do you know what the award (奖励) for the winners is? It is a “gold” medal (金牌)!

Third class (10:55-11:35)

Fourth class (11:35-12:15)

I think the most difficult class is visual arts (视觉艺术). We don’t just learn drawing. We also learn about architecture and design (建筑和设计). Once, my classmates and I built a city. We first made the design on a computer. Then, each student made a building with cardboards. Together, our buildings made up a colorful city.

Fifth class (12:15-12:55)

Lunch break (12:55-13:50)

A cooking company sends our lunch to school. We have our lunch in the classroom. I like char siu (叉烧) rice most. We can also bring homemade lunches to school.

Sixth class (13:50-14:30)

Fun school activities

1. Cosplay Day

We don’t need to wear school uniforms today. Instead, we can cosplay a favorite character (人物) from books. I once cosplayed Tintin. I like Tintin because he is funny, kind and adventurous.

2. Christmas party

The best part of the party is the feast (大食会). Students bring Christmas food to school. I once made gingerbread men with my mom’s help.

3. Cross-subject learning

We have a learning theme (主题) each year. Teachers of different subjects design fun activities for us. What impressed me most was an ocean exploration activity. We went to Ocean Park. The staff there showed us how to protect ocean animals and keep the oceans clean.

Studying during COVID-19

Now because of COVID-19, we only go to school in the morning. Our school classes are over at 12:40 pm. In the afternoon, we finish our homework and have some online classes.

Parent-teacher meetings

Our parent-teacher meetings are more like a talk between teachers and parents. They talk about how we are doing at school. It is usually one teacher and one parent at a time.
