The epidemic has changed the world, revealing the infinite possibilities of learning.

The Buddhist Wong Chuan Primary School in Wan Chai District (12 school net) advocates "happy learning". The school believes that the nourishment of body, mind, and soul can complement and complement learning. Therefore, the curriculum has broken through the traditional schedule. , It is recommended to focus on regular learning in the morning, and set up a "play time" in the afternoon to allow students to fully release their bodies, minds, and spirits, and participate in various activities that inspire multiple intelligences.

"Lewan" project to explore all aspects

DreamStarter Project: Self-directed learning to stimulate potential. One hopes to cultivate students from an early age to use innovative thinking to bring changes to the community, and learn entrepreneurship to meet future social challenges.

At the peak of the epidemic last year, the students launched the action of "stopping school and helping the scavengers." They called on citizens to donate epidemic prevention materials to the school, and the students would distribute them to frontline cleaners to give back to the society.

During the period, students called for, recruited, filmed, edited, and sent to receive media interviews... all were difficult experiences outside of textbooks, and the plan aroused students' infinite potential.

Tong Yong AI Project: Training 4C

In the age of technology, programming learning is indispensable.

The students of our school learn to write programs through micro:bit, from repeated attempts and

Constantly amended to strengthen its logical thinking, problem-solving ability and 4C skills (Creativity/Collaboration/Communication/Critical Thinking) to prepare early for the future society.

AR/VR reading: a new digital reading experience

Reading enables children to broaden their horizons and reach analogy.

Therefore, in addition to adding a huge "book wall" in the playground, and setting up "lunch reading" and "free reading" periods to encourage reading, the school also introduced dozens of books that can be combined with music, games, 3D animation, AR (Augmented Reality). The interactive books of VR (Virtual Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) are included in the regular learning of the book class, and the new digital reading experience can deepen students’ interest in reading.

PIXEL ART creation: full play of creative aesthetics

Artistic creation nourishes the soul.

In addition to teaching students’ traditional watercolors, sketches, three-dimensional origami paintings, and screen printing, the art courses of our school have also allowed students to create Pixel Art using iPAD in recent years, and introduced 3D printers to concretely present students’ design ideas. Broaden students' artistic contact.

Mindfulness: Cultivating the Mind

One year of fighting the epidemic is a severe test for society and individuals.

In order to improve the physical and mental health of the school’s teachers and students, the school participated in the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust Fund this school year to support the "Lotte Heart" School of Social Sciences of the University of Hong Kong to carry out the "Contemporary Contemplation" campus culture campaign. Teachers and counselors enable them to teach students "mindfulness" in the school.

The so-called "mindfulness" refers to learning to use open curiosity, love, and acceptance to guide us to pay attention to the experiences that are happening at this moment, and to train us to explore and respond skillfully to anything.

In the face of the current "epidemic situation," this plan will be the best way to ease emotions.

Coupled with the nurturing of calligraphy, board games, acrobatics, and physical activities, students can play with things to "raise" their aspirations and balance their minds and bodies.

Astronomy Hall.

genuine talent

In addition to "playing fun", our school also attaches great importance to the transfer of knowledge. It is the teaching belief to let children learn.

In this school year, the school’s active school-based curriculum, "Astronomy Hall", will use immersive learning to spread astronomy knowledge throughout the school.

For this purpose, the school specially introduced the "Digital 3D Mobile Planetarium" to facilitate indoor star-gazing for students, and also purchased 11 professional astronomical telescopes for students, parents and community members to watch the stars and enjoy the sun.

The astronaut costume is to make students feel like being astronauts. The school has also opened a "Star Tunnel". Its vaulted luminous tunnel design covers the twelve constellations of the West and the twenty-eight constellations of China. The "sundial" instrument is used as an astronomy teaching material, arousing students' curiosity about the universe.

The school hopes that through a series of astronomical facilities, combined with interesting teaching elements such as STREAM, open the door for students to think and explore people and things.
