Starting from today (16th), all primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in Hong Kong can take the lead in arranging no more than one-sixth of the students back to school according to the school conditions, for no more than half a day of learning activities.
Sun Island English Kindergarten (Yuen Long Branch) arranged for K1 freshmen to return to school first. In order to control the flow of people, K1 students will return to school in batches by class, and only take an hour of adaptation class each time.
However, under the epidemic situation, parents cannot accompany their children into the classrooms as they did in the past. A school arranged for teachers to greet students at the school gate, using stickers and playing slides to distract the children.
Fang Keqi, the development manager of Sun Island School, said that in the past, students of K1 and N classes would adjust to classes in August. This year, they were delayed by the epidemic. Therefore, after the government announced that it can return to school in batches, the school buildings that are under repair or renovation will be excluded. Among the 9 branch schools, 5 have arranged for new students to return to school in batches today, and they will be in adjustment classes from September 16 to 22.
In the face of some students dropping out, the school sponsoring organization does not want to affect morale, so it has not laid off staff for the time being. However, at least two foreign teachers have not been able to arrive at school due to visa delays during the epidemic.

K1 students will return to school in two groups for one hour each time
Liu Yanfen, the principal of Sun Island English Kindergarten (Yuen Long Branch), described that after more than 20 years of education, he has never encountered such a special opening month. Therefore, in addition to strengthening cleaning and disinfection, the school also arranged for K1 freshmen to return to school in batches for adaptation classes.
Every day this week, we will arrange a class of K1 children back to school in two groups, each for only one hour. Workers will be arranged to clean and disinfect the campus.
Due to the epidemic, the use of playgrounds in schools has ceased. Parents are not allowed to accompany in the classroom as before. Teachers have to spend more time. In addition to establishing relationships with children through video meetings from August, the school has also prepared stickers and building blocks to attract children: "In the past Parents can play and adapt, and today they are worried that they will rush out the door and shout even more surprised."

The teacher used the slide as an excuse to invite children to wave goodbye
to
their parents.
To help K1 children adapt to class alone, the school arranged for one of the K1 children to return to school in two groups, each with about 14 people.
Before entering school, all children must step on the disinfection carpet, rub their hands and take their temperature. After that, the teacher will attract the children with stickers, and then use the slide as an excuse to invite the children to wave goodbye to their parents.
To ensure cleanliness, after each child played on the slide, he was brought into the classroom by the teacher, and the workers immediately disinfected and cleaned the slide for the next child to use.
The school specially orders aprons for teachers. The aprons are equipped with treasure bags, fresh-keeping bags, disinfection tissues, handrubs, etc., in case of emergency.
There is also a "cleaning treasure box" in the classroom, and a set of backup school uniforms, newspapers, disinfectant, etc. are placed in the classroom to prevent children from vomiting or emergencies when they are unwell.
Liu Yanfen explained that parents have been reminded in advance not to let school children eat too much, and to reduce drinking milk, etc., to reduce discomfort due to tension and even vomiting.
The on-campus playground needs to be suspended. The teacher arranges for the children to switch to colorful umbrellas. "The time is not too long. Come out in groups." After returning to the classroom, the children are taught to use handrub to disinfect their hands.
Mr. Tung said that the eldest daughter is also studying at the same school and has confidence in the school’s epidemic prevention. He also reminded his son to wash his hands frequently.
