6. Which Uniform?
This is an easy book to read, (P.2-3 standard) and good to read with P.3's reader "Sam's New Clothes". The book tells you different kind of uniform you can see in different schools (summer and winter), from different uniform groups (Cub Scout and Brownie). You will find it interesting to know a lot more about different uniform!


7. What's for Dinner?
It requires basic fluency of English to read this book (P.4 standard) and it's a good book to read with P.3's reader "Midnight Snacks" and P.4's reader "What's Cooking at the Zoo?". This book brings you to different restaurants where different cuisines are served. There are dishes from Thailand, China, India, and many more countries. You will explore more menus and dishes. If you like food and cooking, this is the book you can't miss.

If you want to read these books you can come to me and borrow it for one day. These books will be available in the library soon.

Books I Recommend

Recently I am tidying up the books in the English Room and hope to provide more interesting story books for you to borrow from the Library. As I tidy the books I found some books which I would like to recommend to you.

1. My Travel Scrapbook - My Visit to Boracay
This book is quite advanced and for students who have fluent English. (P.5-6 standard) This is a first-person story about visiting Boracay, a sun and beach paradise in the Philipines. As you read the book you feel like travelling too! If you love travelling around and like sun and beach, you may find this book an enjoyment to read.

2. My Holiday Scrapbook
It is another holiday scrapbook, but suitable for students who enjoys reading easier stories (P.3-4 standard). This book tells you a girl's visit to Australia. It features a lot of photos to help readers' understanding to the story. If you like Koala Bears, have been or wish to visit Australia, you will find this book interesting.
3. Land of the Dinosaurs
This is a fiction about dinosaur, the pre-historic animals whose fossils can be seen in museums only. This book is quite easy to read. (P.3-4 students, some P.2 students can try, too). Few children went to a place and they saw a lot of dinosaurs, they took a lot of photographs of them. If you are interested in dinosaurs this book is your book to read.

4. A Bird from Siberia
This book is for studnets who have fluent English. (P.4-5) And it is good to read with P.4's reader "Flying South" because it talks about a Black-faced Spoonbill called Bill and his journey from Siberia, northern Russia, to a warmer place, Hong Kong. You will feel like flying and travelling with Bill. If you are interested in birds and want to know how they migrate, you will find this book interesting to read.


5. Meeting Anthony
Suitable to P.3 students who want to practise their TSA Oral, this book introduces a new friend called Anthony to you. By asking Anthony questions, you know the family and life of Anthony. Reading the story aloud helps you with your oral practise and it is an easier and happier way to help yourself with TSA.

Cycling Fun


I had a very healthy and outgoing Easter holiday. I went hiking with my friends. We walked from Tung Chung to Tai O, it was tiring but fun. Two days later I went cycling with my friend again. We cycled in Tai Po and we went to Lam Tsuen, where you can find a "Wishing Tree". You can make a wish by throwing a piece of red paper tied with a tangerine up to the branch of the tree.

On our way to Lam Tsuen we saw these beautiful flowers at the side of the road. They were so colorful. I could not resist so I stopped and took picture with them.

It was a lovely holiday because I had a lot of exercise.

How are airplanes assembled and painted?

I watched this video today and I realised it's quite interesting to see airplanes assembled and painted. It's like making models! This video is about Dragonair A330, from parts, to a plane, to a painted plane.
