SKH HTCSS English Corner

Every Thursday come out and have some FREE hot chocolate, tea and biscuits with your CNETs! Play games, relax and enjoy your snacks! Must ask for the food in ENGLISH though!

Planned and run by SCNET Morgan, the first event of English Week was an event called Foodivity. This event combined knowledge of healthy food and pollution. Form 2 students, along with the help of their group teachers and our PM team, competed for points in three rounds for sweets and decorative cookie toppings. The end goal was to decorate a cookie using icing, sweets, and sprinkles to represent a type of pollution and do a short presentation on their design.

It has been a great two days of English Week! We look forward to everyone coming out tomorrow for the English Cafe!!!!

Wishing all Holy Trinity Church students best of luck with their exams :)

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! Looking forward to an exciting English filled term ahead.

Students were able to taste foods, learn foreign languages and play games from 6 different countries! Countries included: Japan, France, Mexico, Britain, America, and Ireland!

For France students were able to practice their french while trying different types of cheeses!

Japan was very exciting! Students had to ask to play the game in Japanese and then were blind-folded and participated in a taste test of Japanese foods!

Irish Gaelic was practiced at the Ireland booth and potato soup was had, all after playing Splat the Rat!

America had some tasty Brownies that students could only get after naming some famous American people!

Over at the British table, students wracked their brains while thinking if facts about England were true or false. If they got it right, or even if they just tried really hard, they were rewarded with Yorkshire pudding with gravy!

Hola! Over at the Mexico table, students had to try their best to pin the tail on the donkey in order to try some spicy salsa and nachos! They had a blast trying to pronounce the Spanish language!

6A students who participated in the Hong Kong Reach Out Summer Camp were selected to go see Jane Goodall speak at the Canadian International School on 11/11/16.

November's monthly event took the students around the world to 6 different countries! With food and games at each booth students were able to have fun, learn new languages, and try new delicious foods!

For the month of November we will be celebrating MOVEMBER! Which is an event that raises awareness about men's health issues.

A core group of students who help the Chatteris Native English Teachers. They will help encourage others to speak in English and help out at monthly events and daily lunch time activities. At the end of the year these students will be more confident in their ability to speak English and will receive a certificate of participation.
