This year’s English Day celebrated the inspiring theme “Character Counts.” Story Jungle captivated students with storytelling sessions that highlighted important values such as gratitude, resilience, empathy… Building on these stories, students participated in meaningful classroom activities designed to deepen their understanding of these traits.
The excitement continued with interactive booth games and engaging activities in the hall, all centred around four key themes of Resilience, Empowerment, Appreciation, and Delight. It was a joyful day of learning and growth, reminding us all that strong character truly matters.
Storytelling sessions
Story Jungle is an English education company that helps kindergartens, primary, and secondary schools in Hong Kong with reading programs.
They came to our school to conduct storytelling sessions for each year level teaching them important values through activities and games. Each year level also designed their own board with meaningful messages.
