Korean Assembly – Earth Day Performance

On the morning of 17th Apr, PYP Korean students gathered in our auditorium and gave splendid performance in both English and Korean. The performance included singing, reading and comedies, all relating to the theme of protecting an endangered species like polar bears, dodo birds, giant pandas and dolphins.

Students were inspired by the assembly:

–   P3b Ashlyn

I didn’t know that there are so many endangered animals. I learned that in the assembly. People is not saving energy. They don’t know the endangered animals and just hunt them. They don’t recycle the trash and in factories they make many black smoke and gas. Now people need to save the environment.

–   P3a Annie

I told myself that If I was a polar bear born long ago where there is no problem with the environment, then I’ll have no worry… So from now on, I’ll save energy and try to use more renewable energy.

–   P4 Hannah

We see bears, gorillas, pandas and other animals in the zoo often and hear about them a lot. I never knew that these animals were in danger. During the time we turn on the air conditioner in the summer and use a lot of electricity, these animals are becoming endangered.

I realized that when I am a mom someday, my children might not be able to see the same animals that I grew up seeing. We must try to protect these animals to the best of our ability.

PYP Field Trip

On the afternoon of 25th Apr, PYP students travelled to Jinkui Park. Students walked around the park in small groups, so they can appreciate nature and identify the different species of plant and animal life. They also helped pick up the trashes around the park. The event encouraged children to protect our threatened and endangered species.

P2 students reviewed their trip the day after and gave their thought:

–   Robin

I almost found every kind of flowers in the beautiful park and took pictures of them. I even saw a beautiful white insect, but I don’t know what it was and when I was trying to take a picture it just flied away. We can’t throw rubbishes everywhere because they will endanger the flowers.

–   Luna

I liked the trip very much. I found many ants and other animals. I liked the park very much because it’s protecting these animals and plants.

–   Jade

I enjoyed the trip very much! We were cleaning the park so that animals can live better. It was my first time to see so many plants and flowers! I also enjoyed having a good time with my friends and I will go to the park again with my family.

–   Lala

I enjoyed the trip. But I don’t like the smokes everywhere. The smokes are harmful to plants and may even cause fire. So I helped pick them up so the plants can live better.

–   Violet

Yesterday we found lots of cool things, lots of flowers, lots of bugs and insects. We also found a squirrel! There are so many species on the earth and I think we have to protect them.

–   Debbie

Yesterday we picked rubbished people threw. We looked for every kind of plants. We even saw cats! To protect the environment, we need to help the plants to grow.

–   Rinka

I enjoyed it and I saw many beautiful flowers. I really liked picking up rubbishes, so I can help protect these flowers.

In our Art classes, students are always encouraged to integrate their creativities with recycled materials. Let’s see what they have came up with these waste paper and plastics!
