School School Report

School Year 2008-2009

SCHOOL MISSON

The School is managed under Po Leung Kuk’s school system. Owing to the uniqueness of our teaching and learning environment, the school preserves its own curriculum and teaching methodology. The mission of the School is to provide a quality education that develops confident children.

We are now running the school under the Direct Subsidy Scheme for the third year. With better resources, we aim to improve the school facilities year by year, and new initiatives will be adopted to enhance learning and teaching.

AIMS OF THE SCHOOL To give opportunity and encouragement to all children to discover and believe in

themselves as worthwhile and valued people. To provide a sound foundation in the basic subjects. To promote the intellectual and the physical development of each child. To nurture the emotional and social development of the children in order that they

may take their rightful place in society. To install respect for the rights and values of all peoples and cultures. To expect from each child a growing compliance with old fashioned virtues of

self-control, courtesy, honesty, punctuality, responsibility and helpfulness.

Yuen Yuen Primary SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT:

‘To provide a quality education that develops confident children.’

Our Strengths

Integrated curriculum is used. Themes are used in all subjects in the same grade levels. Most of the students are very interested in the subject and this motivates them to learn

actively. Sufficient teaching materials and IT resources can be used to enhance the effectiveness

of learning and teaching. There are enough spaces to show students’ artworks which can encourage students’

learning. Co-teaching is implemented to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching. Parents are eager to involve in school activities.

Our Opportunities:

Being a DSS school allows for flexibility of curricula Our school is gaining recognition in the local community Only EMI primary school in Tuen Mun The incorporated management Committee (IMC) consists of representations of parents,

teachers and alumni has set up in 2007. The school-based management will be enhanced.

Our Weaknesses:

Students are weak in self-discipline The school is new and staff is mostly young with limited teaching experience. Our curriculum is still in the process of being developed. Some students are a bit too well protected.

Our Threats:

Without having a direct link or access to a local English DSS secondary school which we be a feeder to students face competition.

A decrease of birth rate in Hong Kong may affect our student admission. Change of curriculum may affect our school-based curriculum.

School report 1

Achievements and Reflection on Major Concerns Major Concern I: Academic Excellence A: English Achievements

- A balanced literacy approach to learning in which reading and writing are complementary processes was used.

- Reading Aloud, Shared Reading, Guided Reading and Independent Reading programmes have been carried out and most students have developed reading habit.

- The Read-a-thon form doubled as the Read-a-thon form and as the reading log for the April ’09. The children had been used to filling in the reading log thus; the Read-a-thon had a success rate of 95%.

- After learning Phonics and Spelling, majority of students are able to decode words they do not know how to say and to spell words they already know. These were reflected on their dictation, reading and composition assignments.

- Most students score 85% or above on listening and speaking assessments. - Shared Writing, Interactive Writing, Guided Writing and Independent Writing have been

deployed. Most students are able to write different types/genres of writing during rotation in class.

- Most of the P2 to P4 students handed in the journal writing on time. - As reflected from the results of summative assessments, over 80% of students are able to

pass the grammar parts of the assessment. - ‘English Wednesdays’ -- 5 stations were set up by the student volunteer helpers each

Wednesday in 10 weeks during first term. Students could earn stamps if they tried to finish the tasks. Most students participated in the beginning.

Reflection

- P1 and P2 accomplished Reading Aloud activity but only done sporadically in P3 and P4. - We were going to raise money with another organization for children in Hong Kong.

However due to time constraints, issues with raising money, and there being a number of other activities in school, we decided to simplify it and keep it as ‘just reading’. For the next school year, we could hold the read-a-thon closer to the beginning of the year or after the first formative assessments mid term.

- Since ‘English Wednesdays’ lasted for too long, 10 weeks, some students lost their record cards and some students may lose their interests in keeping on participating. There were only less than 50 % of students handed in the record card to teachers at the end of the activities. It is suggested to ask the higher grades students to organize activities themselves to encourage them to participate and let them involved. The duration of the English Weeks could be shortened.

School report 2

B: Chinese Achievements

- 通過各項鼓勵閱讀活動, 約 80%的學生能提升自身的理解能力以及培養起閱讀的

習慣。

- 所有老師都認為每週最少完成一篇閱讀理解及隔週剪報能提升學生的閱讀及理解

能力，到下學期末，學生的對文章的理解有明顯的進步。

- 透過每週一星和普通話日等活動, 約 80%的學生勇於用普通話介紹自己。

- 約 70%的學生比以前更願意說普通話。

- 約 70%的學生願意在早會、小息或午膳期間用普通話與老師溝通。

- 約 80%學生參加圖書介紹這項活動。

- 約 65%教師認為集體備課能提升教師的教學質素。

- 約 95%教師認為集體備課能加強團隊精神。

- 約 10%的學生參加各項校外比賽。 Reflection

- 有老師發現有個別學生一早就把書名抄在記錄表上，但其實還沒看過該些書，建

議在下學年能要求學生每週交一份閱讀報告。

- 一年級的「每週一星」未有如期實行，不過一年級老師改在上課時讓學生用普通

話介紹自己，大部分學生都能清楚自我介紹。

- 二年級的話劇比賽因「豬流感」而取消。根據所有老師觀察，學生已不止在普通

話日和老師用普通話對話，基本上學生與老師用普通話對話已成了一種習慣，這

一點本校學生表現良好。

- 普通話日的「普通話說說唱唱」成效極低，根據學生回收回來的小卡，只有約 15%

學生參與(見附表一)，老師反映該活動跨時太長，以上學期計算，總共十次，學生

多沒有太大耐性，學生往往忘記帶小卡到操場參與遊戲，相信不少學生已經把小

卡遺失，而且小息時間是學生主要的玩樂時間，因此影響了學生參加活動的意欲。

建議普通話日可改為普通話週，或以一天時間舉辦普通話活動。

- 圖書介紹因時間關係而未有如期實行。

- 由於四年級是新的年級，故此在學期初全校中文教師因應四年級中文課程而開了

三次會議，期間各位老師均能為四年級課程提出寶貴意見; 其他級別的共同備課則

固定在每教一本故事書前便一起備課一次，但沒留備課紀錄，但詳細可見各級的

School report 3

進度表。所有老師都認為集體備課能提升教師的教學質素及加強團隊精神。

- 學生很熱心參與校外比賽，參加的人數遠多於 10%，校內活動的參與率相比之下

頗遜色，建議明年多舉行不同的活動，如寫作比賽，普通話講故事比賽等。

C: Mathematics Achievements

- Students are encouraged to take part in all mathematics activities including math centre.

At the same time, teachers used a wide range of math activities to engage students in learning and introduce math concepts. Sometimes, competition was greatly used in lessons. Over 80% of students enjoyed doing the activities.

- Students are able to make sensible estimates and measure in real life contexts. Over 80% of students have participated in these activities and they could use formal units of measurement and use equipment to measure accurately.

- Higher ordering thinking was involved in the Math lessons this year to consolidate students learning and help them think aloud when solving word problems.

Reflection

- Teachers are found to work closely to improve students’ learning by modifying the Mathematics core worksheet to meet their students’ needs.

- Math assembly was not organized well enough because there were talks carried by guests and those periods were used for English literature appreciation due to the time limitation in the normal lessons.

- Teachers are suggested to plan more activities to cater for learning differences. For example, teachers can always prepare more challenging work for the advanced students.

- Our school could consider having a weekly or bi-weekly “Minute Math”. Students need to complete a certain number of questions in one or two minutes. Therefore, students will be trained

- The number of hours spent on Math lessons could be extended so that teachers could spend more time explaining a new concept and let students explore it.

- Even though most teachers have used questions with high order thinking skills in their classes, not many of students could apply the thinking skills to the real life situation. Teachers are strongly recommended to continue using this teaching strategy next year.

- Since our school is not using any textbooks, teachers could include more examples in the Math core worksheet for references (teaching notes).

School report 4

D: General Studies Achievements

- Over 80% of students have participate in Field trip, Life Education Activity Programme (LEAP) Van, Halloween, Christmas, and Chinese Latern Festival.

- Over 70% of the pupils enjoy doing the science exploration/activities. - Over 70% of the students have participate in flag selling day/selling raffle tickets for

PLK.

Reflection

- We encouraged the appropriate use of community resources, e.g. museums, facilities and activities provided by community organizations and other public and private bodies to widen the scope of learning beyond the school setting.

- Teachers should have discussed and planned the whole-year field trips or activities before the school term starts as many of the visits need approval by the organization and early booking in advance is needed.

- It was agreed that if resources were available, it is better to let the students to do experiment themselves instead of just watching the teacher to do that.

E: Visual Arts Achievements

- 90% students finished the artworks in the lessons. - The school has participated in 18 drawing/coloring competitions. Number of

participants in 5 competitions exceed 100. Totally 6 awards received. - Outstanding artworks of 2 students had been exhibited in school lobby to recognize

their accomplishments. - Visual Art interest classes were held as after school activity and Saturday fee-charging

activity.

Reflection

- Visit of art exhibitions and art galleries were planned as part of post examination activities in July, due to the class suspension, they were cancelled.

- Display of students’ artworks in larger scale around the school was cancelled due to same reason.

- We shall plan visit and other activities more evenly scheduled through the year in future.

School report 5

F: Music Achievements

- Songs correlated to themes taught in lessons have been adopted as far as possible. - Recorder training has started in P3 and P4. - Musical performances on web-site such as ’ Youtube’ has been shown to students in

the class and their responses are good. - The school choirs participated in competition of Music Festival and joint-schools

competitions organized by Po Leung Kuk, though we don’t get any prize, the results were satisfactory.

- Many students joined the competition individually and received awards. Details as per appendix.

Reflection

- Only some songs are closer to students’ life, and if they like the melodies, they feel more excited when learning them. It is better to choose more popular melodies in future to arouse students’ interest.

- As P4 recorder songs become harder and more difficult to play, some students may lose their interest.

- Due to the outbreak of human swine influenza, classes were suspended, Music Talent Show in school was cancelled.

G: Information Technology Achievements

- 90% of pupils are able to use common computer applications and software-such as the

tools for word and image processing as students in general love to have IT lessons. Most students are able to finish tasks according to their assessment results.

- There are many fee charging online learning programmes for students including English and Chinese subjects. There are also programmes for Maths and IT. Most students enjoyed using the learning programmes during lessons.

- P3 and P4 students were asked to apply an E-mail account such as hotmail, yahoo.

Reflection

- For higher grades, there should be emphasis on strengthening students’ research skills such as seek, absorb analyze, present information critically.

- It is recommended to organize projects to integrate IT with others subjects. - It is suggested that we open the computers rooms during recess. Students will then able

to assess computers and enhance self learning. - After opening an e-mail account, some students forgot their passwords. It is

recommended to have a school- email account for students to enhance communication between teachers and students.

School report 6

Reflection

- We have tried to modify tbe morning exercise to practice Tai Chi, however, due to spatial limitation, it was not successful.

School report 7

Major Concern II: Integrating moral and civic education. A: Discipline Achievements

- 85% of teachers agree that student’s discipline is improved. - Few students with particular emotional difficulties have been refer to the school social

worker. Special workshops and camping have been arranged for them. - School prefect team has been set up among P3 and P4 students, they help a lot in

keeping discipline during on the playground and staircases.

Reflection

- It is difficult keep students quiet when lining up in the cover ground. Teachers are request to reinforce the discipline requirement with the students in the class and more training may be needed.

B: Moral Education Achievements

- Simple but important aspects of moral education such as cleanliness, politeness, considerate the others… have been conveyed to students during morning assembly by means of talk and or drama.

- Healthy Eating Program had been launched at the beginning of the year to encourage students to eat more health foods.

- Service packages by Po Leung Kuk for Student Guidance Service and Understanding Adolescent Project have been deployed.

Reflection

- Due to the limitation of covering playground, eye-sight of many classes lining at the back are blocked by columns of the building. The formation was disturbed whenever there was a show on the stage. It may be solved by installing LCD monitors with instant broadcasting system.
