2027-2028年度小一入學申請簡介會 校園及課程簡介

Main ideas, concepts, and lessons

Welcome + school overview

• The speakers welcome students and parents to Yinghua / Yinghua English Primary School (some names in the transcript are garbled, but the context is a primary school introduction).
• The presentation includes brief history/background, describing early founding, later development, and expansion to more grades/years.
• The school emphasizes developing students through “self-improvement” (a school slogan/theme is referenced, but the exact wording is garbled).

Learning through activities (not exams as the main focus)

• Multiple sections stress that students learn through playing and doing, especially in the English learning experience.
• There is a consistent reassurance tone: students don’t need to be afraid—activities are guided and safe.

Outdoor/experiential programs and “heart-course” (theme-based learning)

• The heart/values course (exact phrasing is garbled) is framed as theme-based learning where students grow through:
  • Hands-on challenges
  • Teamwork
  • Real-life experiences
• Examples mentioned:
  • Fire-making / match use: learning how to handle fire with instruction
  • Fishing activity: understanding fish anatomy → catching/preparing fish → building patience and balance
  • Farming/field work: weeding and watering → learning effort and preparation
  • Cooking / personal responsibility: washing/preparing an omelet; appreciation tied to effort
  • Wind/air exploration: learning air properties; trying tasks like flying with conditions
  • Outdoor nature/field learning: ocean/beach cleanup; forest exploration; learning about plants/insects/animals
  • Map positioning / navigation: finding ways for the future using maps
  • Observation of insects from a distance and learning about wild plants (with safety/observation guidance)
  • Adventure/challenge training at later stages: outdoor skill training; a “night test”/mind test (details garbled); enjoying Hong Kong waterways

Student clubs/grades and long-term growth

• Students participate in structured programs by grade level, with earlier grades and later grades joining different activities.
• Multi-year class activities support making friends and long-term growth.
• The school highlights safe, varied activities across:
  • On land
  • On water
  • In the air

Parents and community support

• Parents are described as supportive and sometimes involved (e.g., parent-child sports competitions).
• Leadership involvement is emphasized as a reason the school can run many innovative activities.

Themes/events and creative student projects

• A themed school event is described where:
  • Students line up and the principal/hosts change activities
  • Each class uses a specific theme
  • Students create costumes/props and develop stories
• The event may include scoring/electronic components, prizes, and gifts (some terms are garbled).

STEAM education (technology-focused hands-on learning)

• STEAM lessons emphasize:
  • Regular technology instruction (e.g., every other week)
  • Teacher-guided tool use during project creation
  • Learning technology concepts and the science behind the project before building
• Project examples mentioned (partly garbled):
  • DIY/crossing games, electric car, computer/principles-related learning
  • Later-year work: mechanical designs, smart structures/streets
  • AI/automation-related modules (framed as AI applications, wording garbled)
  • Student-built robot/drone-like or machine-like creations; toy-like but functional vehicles that can change direction
• STEAM competitions are also referenced, including team training and teamwork.

Broad extracurricular/activity options

• Physical education (PE)
  • Early grades have multiple PE classes each week
  • Activities include basketball and football
  • Focus on choosing sports and building fitness
  • Parent-child competitions occur during water/land club activities
• Music
  • Students explore different music options
  • Ensembles and competitions lead to awards
  • Technology is integrated into art/music works to create lively, creative projects

Character education as a core outcome

• The closing messages emphasize that the ultimate goal is not only knowledge and skills, but becoming students with good character, including moral/values education.
• Learning is summarized as doing activities (e.g., “running, fighting/kicking/doing activities, talking”), but the “most important thing” is character and strong English.

Methodologies / “how learning works” (detailed bullet format)

Hands-on, guided experiential learning (often outdoor)

• Fire / safety learning
  • Learn how to handle fire and use matches under instructor guidance
  • Participate in drawing/learning activities related to fire
  • Emphasis: curiosity → practical instruction → safe execution
• Fishing / patience + procedure-based learning
  • Instructor introduces fish body structure
  • Students learn from parts/“innards” conceptually
  • Students then attempt to catch/prepare fish themselves
  • Emphasis: effort, patience, teamwork, and learning from difficulty
• Farming / effort and preparation
  • Participate in weeding and watering
  • Learn that preparation requires significant effort
• Cooking / self-prep responsibility
  • Practice washing/handling their own food preparation (omelet)
  • Reinforce appreciation and responsibility through experience
• Air/wind exploration
  • Tutor explains air characteristics
  • Students learn to manage conditions to achieve outcomes (e.g., flying/sailing-like tasks)
  • Emphasis: experiment + learning through controlled challenge
• Nature education / observation-based learning
  • Beach cleanup: pick up garbage and wipe along a water course
  • Forest learning: encounter skills; learn safely with guidance
  • Insect/plant learning
    • Observe forms from a distance using tools/approaches
    • Learn how observation leads to understanding
  • Navigation/map positioning: preparing for future tasks
• Adventure/challenge training
  • “Matching skills training” outside the classroom to increase difficulty
  • Includes mind/overnight-type tests (details unclear)
  • Focus: confidence, safety, and learning under structured supervision

STEAM project creation workflow (technology lessons)

• At the start of each project cycle:
  • Learn tool usage and related science/technology principles first
• Then:
  • Create 2–3 pieces per year per class (as stated)
  • Build progressively harder projects by grade level
• Include:
  • Mechanical design and programming/compilation concepts (as described)
  • AI or automation-related modules (mentioned)
  • Hands-on creation + reflection on how the project works
• Add-on experiences:
  • STEAM-related classes for additional making/building
  • Competition participation with team training (teamwork and execution)

Sports/music activity structure

• Sports
  • Multiple weekly PE sessions for early grades
  • Options to play different sports (e.g., basketball/football)
  • Train physical fitness and strength through practice
  • Parent-child competitions to extend learning to family teamwork
• Music
  • Teachers arrange trial of different music choices
  • Teacher supports learning carefully; students practice for performance
  • Ensembles/competitions lead to awards and continued improvement
  • Art integration: technology is integrated into artistic works to create creative output

“Character education + collaboration” as the core learning aim

• Through activities, students learn:
  • How to deal with people
  • How to work together to complete tasks
  • How effort links to outcomes
• Leaders and staff involvement is presented as enabling many activities
