Looking Back…
Xinghua Primary School celebrated International Friendship Day (IFD) on the 9th of April
2018. The theme for this year’s celebration was ‘Celebrating the ASEAN Community’.
In conjunction with the theme, the school prepared a series of programmes to
commemorate this special day. During the assembly programme, pupils learnt the
importance of IFD and the purpose of ASEAN in terms of its role and responsibilities.
Pupils were taught to value the relationships among the countries in ASEAN and deepen
their understanding of the uniqueness of each of the countries in ASEAN. Flags of the
10 nations in ASEAN were hung in school for the day. Lessons were conducted during
Social Studies periods to enhance the understanding of the ASEAN community.
The highlights of the day were the recess activities for our pupils to take part in quizzes
and play some of the traditional games of some of the ASEAN countries. While having
an enjoyable time bonding with their friends through the games, pupils also earned
points for their Houses. The school is appreciative of the help provided by the PSG
members in conducting the planned activities for our students during recess.

The Primary Four students embarked on a Literature Programme in Term one this
year. Literature supports and enhances students’ language and literacy learning
experiences in rich and engaging ways. Through the literary skills of reading and
responding to texts, students can make meaningful connections between lessons
learnt in texts and the real world.
In their English lessons, students worked on the book ‘Charlotte’s Web’, a children’s
novel by American author E.B. White. The novel tells of a touching story of a
livestock pig named Wilbur and his friendship with a barn spider, Charlotte. Through
their journey taken through the characters’ perspectives, students learnt to identify
with different points of view and examine thought and action compassionately.
Students also learnt the different elements of fiction writing and will be better able to
make inferences in reading comprehension.
I love reading Charlotte’s Web because I can learn
how to be a wiser person. Charlotte is so wise and
capable. - Janani 4R1
