Challenge week

Challenge Week is when all the kids in KGV school go to different activities for a week.
They can opt for a safari in Kenya, working with orphans in China or Cambodia, other overseas trips or they can opt for trips in Hong Kong.

I looked after the HK based Drama Week.
Starting from nothing at all the kids built up characters for a play which was presented to the Junior School children at the end of the week.


Amazingly talented - the pics above are just a small part of the week.

hmmm - strangely appropriate

Wedding

During mum's recent visit we were honoured to be invited to a good friend's wedding.

Mum and I were there for the evening reception.
The evening was kicked off by a Chinese Lion Dance and we got to have our pics taken with this rather handsome lion.

New weather symbol

How cool is this?


Well I guess this symbol is very cool. I think it is warning about a drop in temperature as the website is telling us that the temps are now dropping from 24-29 to 21-25. So I suspect it is a warning that we may feel more chilly.

I've only just turned the aircon off. Looks like it's time to break out the room heaters.

Typing tournament

Year 8 students all have laptops. They got them at the start of term and one thing we decided was that they should be encouraged to learn to type. Therefore, an inter-class typing tournament was put in place to give the kids something to aim towards.

It is hard to describe the sheer hysteria that was the typing tournament.
Here are two images from the day...

This one shows the very excited Year 8's getting ready for the final.
