Please Support “Enough Plastic”

Let’s continue with the momentum from last Thursday and continue to use less plastic. Thank you.

Dear Parents,

Following on from our Mother/Daughter and Father/Son evening, our Year 6 students will be having a couple of in-class sessions on ‘Living and Growing’.  In these sessions, they will be shown some educational videos which cover the theme of Puberty, followed by class discussions.  Please contact me at susan.chung@bhs.edu.hk if you would like to borrow the DVD to view at home beforehand stating your child’s name and class.

Kind regards,

Susan Chung

Here are some photos from the transition day. All of the students had a great time and are getting ready to leave the nest of Primary School and move on to a more independent experience at Secondary.

An inquiry into…

Algebraic expressions to record the rules for patterns

Continuing and creating sequences involving whole numbers, fractions and decimals

As part of their learning contracts, Year 6 will cover a range of Language inquiries. Some may choose to write their own fairy tale story, you might compare different characters from similar stories or you might look into the language features of advertising our production! We look forward to seeing what you create. 

Mandarin 

All children are encouraged to take a reading book home on the days when they have Mandarin lessons.
