Empathy, deep?
In the past two years or so, students have experienced many changes in their studies. How can they adjust to group life, regain love and relationships with their peers, and build a deeper sense of belonging to the campus?
The Principal of SKH Yau Tong Kei Hin Primary School, So Wing Si, believes that "empathy" is a key entry point to restart the relationship between people.
And this beautiful quality, is it very profound?

The concept is not deep, the meaning is deep
Principal Su and the team believe that from the perspective of knowledge and behavior, empathy is not deep at all, but it takes a lot of reflection and practice to truly connect with others' feelings from the heart, and it is worth understanding the meaning behind it.
Therefore, at the beginning of the resumption of classes, the school adjusted the teaching progress and timetable, and held a school-wide activity called "Equipment-Based Empathy Deep Walk". The theme of "Animals", hence the name "Animals May", allows students to think about the relationship between people and things, and learn more about the current social situation.

Come!
go deep together
Activities are carried out in various forms, such as movies, discussions, hands-on, service, visit, donation, practice, etc., to teach students to move from place to place and connect their hearts to their hearts.
Among them, "Sympathy" and "Sympathy" were initiated by Principal Su and teachers of the Religion Department to kick off "Animals May" with the campus situation, life stories and the love deeds of the Lord Jesus in the Bible during the morning meeting. , Encourage students to have the mentality and ability to truly stand in the position of others to feel, to understand the situation and needs of others.
"Empathy Comfort", "Empathy Touch"
Reading is an important part of learning. I would like to thank the teacher for creating an "Empathetic Comfort" reading area for the library, so that students can learn more about empathy and make learning more interesting from different interesting stories and characters.
In order to allow students to have a more real and profound understanding of the animal theme, the school also invited the non-profit veterinary service association (NPV) to the school in the "touch of empathy" section to explain the situation of the displaced animals and the animals in different breeding farms. needs.
The director of the incubator Liu Peiyi shared the story of the picture book to guide the students to think about the weight and value of life, deepen their understanding of animal rights, and introduce some animal protection organizations in the society, paying tribute to the tireless volunteer groups.
May the students understand the importance of "caring for animals and respecting life".

Empathy and Empathy Weave
Responsiveness is an important part of education.
In order to encourage students to reflect more on their studies, the teacher invited the students to do it, and translated many thoughts and feelings, many words of thanks and encouragement into words, and expressed gratitude and support to the animal guardians and volunteers through well-designed heart cards.
He also taught students to be creative, make good use of old clothes, and hand-cut them into unique and practical reusable bags that can be used daily or when walking the dog.

"Sympathy Forest"
A key point of the whole activity is that the school, together with Ms. Lin Qiuxia of "Why Not Education" and her team, held a four-day "Similarity Forest" fantasy tour for fourth grade students!
In this experiential themed learning week, teachers and students gathered in the auditorium arranged as a forest scene. Through film appreciation, character analysis, mentor's life story, reflection and reporting, etc., in three aspects of cognition, emotion and action, equipped with " LOVE" "understanding, acceptance, respect, kindness" four elements.
During these few days, teachers and students shared many touching stories, and children also wrote many, many genuine feedbacks, such as:
＊I learned to use "if I were him" to think and feel other people's feelings
＊I understand that empathy is a process of exploration, a process of companionship, and a way of caring
*Believe that everyone is unique
＊A happy thing can bring happiness to others
＊A beautiful heart, a heart that is different from others, makes people kind

"Sympathy"—
Another part that students are looking forward to is visiting the dog farm!
We understand that love needs action to deliver.
Thank you to the sponsors including "Nestlé Hong Kong", "Pro Pets Limited" and "Tseung Kwan O Veterinary Clinic", for allowing us to send the supplies to "Salad House for Dogs and Cats MCCC" and "House of Joy and Mercy".
Due to the ease of the epidemic, the principal, teachers and student representatives can even visit the Abang House in person!
The classmates are very interested in the actual situation of the dog farm, and hope that a small contribution can give the abandoned animals a little care, food and clothing, and can become a beautiful seed in the children's hearts, infecting more people in the future!
In addition to animals, we certainly teach our students to thank their parents and treat their families well.
On Father's Day in June, the school designed the "Sing of Empathy". Principal Su also specially rewrote the song "I Need You Every Minute" into lyrics praising father's love, and led the students to record and sing, thanking parents for their hard work, They send blessings!
