Autumn Picnic! Will we see you on November 20th?

Hello iLearn Family,

We are looking forward to seeing everyone on our first outing of the 2016-2017 academic year! We will be going to Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre near Hong Kong Disneyland for a day of outdoor exploration and family fun. If you haven’t signed up yet, click here to register. See you there!

Activities for the day:

11:00am-12:30pm: Enjoy the park!

Walk around and enjoy the outdoors! The park has a beautiful lake to walk around and a small playground. There is also hourly rental ($) of family bikes and paddle boats.

出外走走，一同享受戶外清新空氣﹗公園裡有一個美麗的湖和小型遊樂場。另外，還有按每小時收費的腳踏遊覽車及腳踏船出租服務。

ABC teachers will have some optional activities for every kind of learner. Would your child like to run around with bubbles or hula hoops? Or relax and sketch out some of nature’s beauty? You can bring your own park toys as well. (The park prohibits kites and remote flying toys.)

ABC老師會為不同類型的學生準備多元的好玩活動。你的小朋友喜歡追著泡泡跑，或是穿著呼拉圈跳跳紮？還是愛輕鬆享受及素描出大自然的美妙？你也可以自備一些室外玩具呢（園內不可以放風箏和玩遙控飛行玩具）。

Take a “Goofy” photo and send it to us! We’ll be having a photo competition on our ABC Facebook page. Take a silly family photo with this sign and send it to us via Whatsapp at 98581286. The top ones will be put on the Facebook page for all to vote.

拍一張「古靈精怪」的照片，再跟我們分享吧﹗我們將於ABC Facebook舉行一個攝影比賽。快快舉起這個標誌來拍張「搞笑」家庭照，再Whatsapp (98581286) 給我們。最精彩的幾幅作品將會被登上ABC Facebook供大家投票，選出大贏家。

12:30-2:00pm: Food and games with teachers and classmates

Let’s enjoy a healthy lunch together. Find your teacher and enjoy a picnic style lunch. We’ll be sitting on the grass so please bring a blanket or towel. We’ll also bring some materials to make kebabs. Bring some fruit if you would like to make some as well! We’ll be talking with students this month about healthy food they think they will bring to the picnic.

一同享受健康的午餐，跟你的班主任來個草地野餐，別忘記帶上一張地墊。我們將會準備食材製作「水果串」，你也可帶一些你喜歡的水果來做材料呢﹗而今個月，我們將於課堂上跟學生談一些他們旅行時會帶的健康食物。

At the end of the day, let’s bring our iLearn classroom to the park! Classes will be playing some of their favorite Creative Critical Thinking games outside.

就讓我們走出課室，將iLearn課堂帶入公園﹗各iLearn班將會在大自然中，開心進行大家最愛的Creative Critical Thinking遊戲。

Hope to see you all there!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Dear iLearn Family,

We hope you have a wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival this week with your family! To celebrate in our iLearn lessons--and learn to speak a bit more about the holiday--we'll be talking about what we eat for the festival.

Students are encouraged to bring in fruit as their snack for Wednesday, September 14th. Any fruit will do but traditional Mid-Autumn fruits are especially welcome! Students are also allowed to bring in any fruit to share if they would like.

We'll talk about our likes and dislikes, learn some English vocabulary for the festival, and talk about fruit and other healthy snacks we can bring to iLearn for our daily snack time.

Have a wonderful holiday week!

Check out some of the fun from last year:

Kowloon Tong students answer Head Teacher Edward's question about starfruit.

Teacher Howie and Mathew in Tsuen Wan brought some pomelo to share!

Students in Whampoa get excited about all their Mid-Autumn Festival treats!
