It has finally arrived! Say hello to SUMMER HOLIDAYS 2010!!
Have a safe, happy and fulfilling holiday! Whether you're traveling overseas, attending summer camp, learning a new sport, musical instrument or art...make sure you enjoy yourself! Summer holidays is a great time to relax and have fun but it is also a good time to improve and prepare yourself for the coming school year. Make sure you spend some time to revise or get help on subjects that you did not do so well in this year. Don't let yourself fall behind! Always set goals for yourself and work towards them at your own pace. That way, your holiday can be both enjoyable and rewarding!
It is very hot in Hong Kong during the summer. Many of you will be doing outdoor activities. Please remember to "Slip Slop Slap!" That means...be "sun smart". SLIP on a shirt, SLOP on some sunscreen and SLAP on a hat! Drink plenty of water too so you won't get dehydrated.
Hi kids! Thank-you for your comments on this blog. I will try my best to reply all your questions and messages.
To help you with the difficult words on the blog, I have added 2 dictionary tools. One is the Longman online English Dictionary. The other is an online English-Chinese Dictionary by Yellowbridge. You can find these 2 tools on the right hand side of the blog under the Visitors Counter. Just type in the word you want to check in the box then click "ok" or "go".
Please let me know if you have any problems using the new tools.
"The Reading Tree" is a celebration of my students' hard work and achievements. You can read about what they've been up to at school, share your comments or offer some encouragement to them.
This blog also serves as an English communication platform and a source of English teaching and learning ideas.
Whether you're a student, teacher or parent, I hope this blog will inspire you.
Learning never stops, so you might as well have fun while you're at it!
