G6 Happy Chinese Reading Challenge
T
his year, Grade 6 students participated in the Happy Chinese Reading Challenge again. It was a fun after school event organized by the MYP Chinese department aiming to engage G6 students to review the 800 most frequently used Chinese characters. Students took challenging quizzes after reading a set of booklets called 快 乐汉语 Happy Chinese written by Ms. Min Li, our MYP/DP Vice Principal and Head of the Secondary Chinese Department.
Grade 6 students usually encounter challenges when transitioning from PYP to MYP due to the different structure of teaching and learning as well as workload.This reading event was organised to support them to adjust to the new learning environment. Students had fun participating in the individual ‘tiǎo zhàn’ (Challenge) after school. They gained stars for their homeroom class from each read and the final awards were given to the winning class and individuals after the three-month competition. Ms. Vanni G6C Atta: I followed my friends to take the challenge. I found it fun and I would like to learn and practice more Chinese characters. G6I Tubtim: I want to earn more stars for my class! G6D Dean: It’s fun! My cousin participated last year and he recommended me to join. I felt I should be more responsible for my class.
