Kwun Tong Government Primary School (Sau Ming Road) 2018-2019 Issue 2 English Newsletter

On the pages that follow, you are about to set off on a journey that will enable you to enjoy a variety of stories, letters and poems, as well as other forms of creative writing produced by our students. You could begin by taking a trip down memory lane; reading P.4 students’ accounts of their parents’ lives in Hong Kong 30 years ago will certainly bring back childhood memories. You could read P.5 students’ descriptions of people or get to know some of our P6 students by reading their self-introductions. Finally, if you haven’t got any pets, read about P.1 students’ favourite pets and you’ll be rushing down to the pet shop in no time! I invite you to embark on the journey now; it will be a memorable one! Enjoy the read!
