KEY PROGRAMMES & LEARNING EXPERIENCES
Mother Tongue Fortnight (MTF) & Chinese Language Camp
With the objective of ‘Active Learners, Proficient Users’ in mind, the Chinese Department create more opportunities for students to be exposed to Chinese culture and values, and also to enhance their learning of the Chinese Language (CL).
During the MT Fortnight & Language Camp, the activities are multi-disciplinary integrating subjects such as Physical Education, Art, Music, Drama, and Character and Citizenship Education (CCE). The learning of CL is thus made more fun, engaging and effective through multi-disciplinary settings. These activities arouse students’ interest in learning Chinese culture and better equip them with the varied use of the language in different contexts. Students learn to be more confident, adaptable, innovative, and resilient.
为了贯彻执行教育部所推行的“母语双周”计划，育民小学结合华人农历新年，为一年级至六年级的华族学生举办了一系列丰富多彩的母语双周活动。例如沙画、书法、踢毽子等传统华族活动。通过这些活动，学生了解更多华族传统文化习俗及来历，因此更加喜爱使用他们的母语。除了华族学生之外，异族同胞也和华族学生一起庆祝农历新年，感受新年气氛。
为了加深学生对华族传统文化的认识，激发他们学习华文华语的兴趣，华文部为中高年级的学生举办语文营。语文营结合小学课文内容，让学生通过手工及游戏的方式，增加对华族传统文化的了解。
