YCIS Hong Shanghai Kong Yew Chung’s Rich Language Environment Interests International Audience !" #$%&'()*+,-./0 During November, Ms. Anna Chan (Vice-Principal of Primary) and Mrs. Janene Grant (Lower Primary Coordinator) from YCIS Hong Kong visited Los Angeles to attend the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) annual conference for early childhood educators. They talked about the transition children experience in Hong Kong as they move from the various kindergarten programmes available to our international primary school. The presentation was based on active research, surveys and interviews conducted with parents, teachers and students. The audience was very interested in the rich language environment which Yew Chung provides. Many questions were raised on how to maintain and help children in adjusting to the complex language environment. Both Ms. Chan and Mrs. Grant found the opportunity to participate in this significant event professionally stimulating and very beneficial.

Teachers and students were asked to think of their own means of showing their concern for others in practical ways. The Year 1 children shared Christmas carols and stories with the younger ones as they revisited the kindergarten. The Year 2 children participated in a “Christmas Sing - a - thon” on December 3 and raised $29,687 for Operation Santa Claus. The Year 3 classes took turns to provide snacks for their fellow classmates and were able to raise nearly $5,000 for the Salvation Army. Year 4 went to Ebenezer School for the Visually Impaired and the Heep Hong Society for the mentally challenged and gave performances at these venues. Year 5 students gave food and organised mini concerts for the elderly and mentally challenged at the St. James’ Settlement. Year 6 visited an elderly centre in Shatin where they performed and gave gifts to the residents. The choir, recorder ensemble and strings ensemble 9 of our school also participated in the Christmas carol performance at Festival Walk on December 15. It was certainly a wonderful performance and added to the Christmas spirit of the community. !"#$%&'( !" !"#$%& !"#$%!&'()*+,-./01!2345 !"#$%&' !"#$%&'()*+,-./!"#$0 !"#$%&' NO P !"#$%& ! !"# !

YCIS Hong Kong Creativity and Cooperation Make History Study Fun and Exciting !"#$%&'()*+, If boring and dull are the words which come to mind when trying to describe History lessons, try asking the Year 8 students at YCIS Hong Kong what they think of History lessons. They not only made their History study fun and exciting with their creativity and cooperation, but also made their very own Roman Board Game. The project, led by Mr. James Chapman and Mr. Edward Hepting, was to round off the study of Ancient Rome in the first term. Students were to combine their subject knowledge, teamwork and creativity in a practical and fun way. They were asked to put together the elements of present-day board games such as “Monopoly” and “Trivial Pursuit”. The students combined both class work and homework time and then played each other’s games at the end to test them out! A great time was had by all. Natalie Sheung and Yvonne Tong of Year 8D were proud with their board game. They said, “When we did the game together, we learned that many things have to be done by helping each other and by working hard.” Both enjoyed the project and are looking forward to doing more of this kind in the future. !"#$%&'()*+,-./01)23456 !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123*45' !"#$%&'()*+, !"#$%&'()*+,-./012 34*# !"#$%&'()* g~ãÉë=`Ü~éã~å bÇï~êÇ eÉéíáåÖ !"#$%&'()*+, -./012 !"#$%&'()*+,-."/0'12345 !qêáîá~ä=mìêëìáí !"#$%&'()*+,- !"#$%&'()*+,-./0 " Ua !" !"#$% !"# !"# !"#$% !"#$% !" !"#$% !"#$% !"#$ Factory Visit to Learn More about Food Industry !"#$%&' As part of the industrial visit project, 20 Year 12 students at YCIS Hong Kong went on a visit to a factory in Tai Po on January 23. IB Business Management students were given valuable hands-on experience on the subject. Our visit started with a six-minute video on Lee Kum Kee, business trends, products and the numerous business awards that the company has won over the years. Later we toured their testing lab, production floor, kitchen and packaging department. The final stop was at the quality control unit where we gained useful knowledge on the various elements that encompass the quality control process in the food industry. The visit culminated in a question-and-answer session. Some logistics and marketing issues on the various sauces being manufactured were also discussed. Overall, the visit was quite inspiring as students were able to gain a greater understanding of manufacturing processes and of the food industry in general which was both interesting and informative.
