Book Report

Yesterday, I read a book named "Cam Jansen and the Summer Camp Mysteries". My mother bought me this book before the summer holiday. But I lost it. I found it just last week.

This book has three stories: 'The First Day of Camp Mystery', 'It's a Raid' and The Basketball Mystery. They are about Cam and her friend Eric spending three weeks at the Camp Eagle Lake, where they swim, play sports, do arts and crafts and make new friends. Sadie Rosen, the camp director helps the children and plays with them.

Cam is my favourite character because she has a photo-graphic memory. When she says "click!", she can remember what was happening. This helps her to solve the mysteries.

I like this book very much because it makes me remember the two camps I joined this year. I hope I can go camping for three weeks like Cam and Eric.

A trip to Amah Rock

Yesterday morning, my parents and I went hiking. We went up to Amah Rock.

We walked up many staircases and we were tired. It took about 1.5 hours to walk from home to Amah Rock.

On the way, we saw two streams. We stood on some rocks and Dad took photos of us. We looked at the view from Amah Rock. It was beautiful. I saw a lot of buildings, they were so small like models. We sat under a big rock and rested for a while before we walked down the hill.

It took just 20 minutes to walk down the hill. Before we left Lion Rock Country Park, we saw a naughty monkey. He was getting people's BBQ food. A woman screamed. The monkey was scared and then climbed up the tree quickly. We took a photo of it.

The Amah Rock has an interesting story. It is like a mother carrying his child, waiting for the father's father to come home.

Visiting Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences

This morning, my teacher and all 4A students took a school bus to the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences in Sheung Wan for a visit.

The entrance looks very old. The museum has three floors, they are upper floor ground floor and basement. A men told us many things, like the step counting meter,heart beat measure meter and some other tools for checking body. There is a picture shows us our organs inside our body, like the heart and lung.

Then, we went to the basement. There is a bed for operation and a model cow to show how people cured smallpox in the past.

We saw pictures and two model mice on the upper floor. The man told us about the plague made by rats a long time ago in Hong Kong.

We only stayed in the museum for 45 minutes. We didn't have enough time to see everything. I found this museum very interesting. I like the basement most because not many museums has a basement.

The Opening Ceremony of Chung Ming Hut

Yesterday, my school held the opening ceremony of Chung Ming Hut, the tuck shop of my school.

There were many guests. They told us about Chung Ming Hut. The shopkeepers are hearing impaired people so teachers encouraged us to use hand language to make orders.

The lighting-up ceremony was great. There were many lines of colourful lightbulbs and made the floor flashing beautifully. At last, we sang a Putonghua song 無邊界 with hand language.

I like Chung Ming Hut. The food was yummy. I also like these hearing impaired people to work in our school because this makes me know that they are useful to the society.

Mid-Autumn Festival

During the Mid-Autumn festival, my family went to the park near my home to celebrate. We saw the big full moon for a short while. This year, my grandpa and grandma moved house. Now, there is no balcony, we could not look at the moon there.

We did not stay in the park for long because it was too hot. We played lanterns and luminous bars. I put the bars together to make a jumping rope, then I jumped happily over it.

This year, I played with the lantern I made myself in an art lesson. I draw the face of ‘Joker’ on it. Joker is the enemy of Batman. I put a real candle in the lantern. It’s real fun. I like this one better than the plastic ones because I needed to be very careful when I was holding it. If I was careless, the lantern will burn up. I think the plastic ones with light bulbs are for very young kid only. I won’t buy them anymore.

I like to eat the Hairy Beans and the moon cakes. They were yummy. Thank you Grandpa for making the Hairy Beans and taros.

I felt so glad because the whole family can play and eat together.

My Summer Camp

On 25th August to 27th August, I went to a camp named ‘Leadership Camp’. It was a three-day-one-night camp. This time, I went with Jeff and a new friend named 麥皓程. There were 54 children. We were group 4.

The first day, we went to 大欖郊野公園 to have lunch and games. I didn’t like it because while I was having my lunch, there was a bug stuck on my hand! When we were playing games, there was a bee flying around someone’s head! He screamed loud. Then, we went to 歷史遺跡經 to have hiking. We had to find some treasures to win the game. Jeff and I were running so fast and the other children in group 4 were so slow. After hiking, my legs were so tired.

The second day, we went to the campsite named 洞梓童軍中心. We marched at the playground. At first, the tutors told us to ‘turn’, ‘salute’and ‘stand ease’, then they covered our eyes and watched us marching. If they saw someone did wrong, they told them to stand somewhere else and so they couldn’t play.

After marching, the tutor told us where we sleep that night. I stayed in room 12. There were 8 beds in the room. In the campsite, there was a hall near the rooms, we always gathered at the hall and the tutor will tell us when we need to get back.

At four o’clock, we had to find out different places in the camp site. We had some clues that the tutor wrote on the paper. There were 10 levels for this game. We came second in the race.

At night, we went to the canteen to have dinner. I love the chicken wings the best. After that, we went to the hall to have a party; everyone had to sing a song. We turned off the light and used the torch to make the ceiling bright. It was very beautiful.

At last, we went to sleep at twelve o’clock. I didn’t sleep, Jeff and I were playing games and we were talking, the other boys were all sleeping.

The third day in the morning, we started to leave the campsite. We packed all the things then we went to the hall. Before leaving, we played some games. The most exciting was we had to use one finger to hold a paper cup full of water. We walked very slowly and went to different places. We had to walk up a slope and walk up and down the stairs. Then, we exchanged presents with one another. I’ve got a note book and a pen.

In the afternoon, we all took a bus and went for a picnic. After lunch, the tutor taught us to build a tent. Then we had a competition to see which group built a tent faster. We lost, just a second slower, we couldn’t zip up the tent fast enough. Then we played some group games.

We went home at 3 pm and the tutor gave us a certificate.

This was a happy camp, but I like the Easter one better.

The Beijing 2008 Olympics

The Beijing 2008 Olympics was so good. The buildings like Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube are gorgeous!!! China used a lot of money to make them. I heard from TV the Water Cube's bubbles on the wall inside and outside are hard to be broken.There were different events to play there.

There were so many games to watch on TV like swimming and table tennis, I like Volleyball the most. It was so exciting. I also like diving and table tennis.

In China, there are many people are good at sports, like Liu Xiang, he can run so fast, but before the competition, he hurt his leg. I wanted to see Liu Xiang very much. I hope he can get better soon and help us to get more gold medals in the London 2012 Olympics. I also think Yang Wei is a good sportsman. He’s good at gymnstics and won 2 medals.

In table tennis both women & men competitions, China got the gold, silver and the bronze medals. I am so proud of them. I hope I can play well like them. My new idol is Ma Lin.

China got the most number of gold medals in the world. Now China has 49 gold medals. Will China get over 50?

The Opening Ceremony was great. The firework was beautiful! Will the Closing Ceremony be more exciting?

Another Fun Day with My Friend, Gareth

This time I lent Gareth three 'Freddy' series books. Gareth read 2 books within one hour. At night, when I walked Gareth and Auntie Icy to their car, I missed them already. Later, Gareth called me and asked can I go to his home on Friday. Good! Our moms said YES! I wish Friday will come soon.

A Fun Day in Ocean Park

Last Saturday, my Mom’s student, Cara invited Mom and I to Ocean Park. This is the fourth time I went to Ocean Park. It was very hot, the temperature was almost 34 degrees.

First, we lined up and took a cable car to the Headland. In the cable car, I could see many plants, mountains and sea. It was very beautiful. And we took some photos.

After the ride, we went to the ‘Headland Rides’. We played the ‘Crazy Galleon’, it is a big swinging boat. I felt frighten and my heart was like jumping out when it swing high. I screamed but my mom screamed even louder. And I saw a man sitting in front of us, he put his hands on his ears! My Mom’s students and another teacher, Miss Yau sat on the last row.

After that, we wanted to try ‘The Abyss Turbo Drop’. But while we were lining up, I herd some strange noises from the ride, so I didn’t take that ride.

Next, we went to ride on the ‘Mine Train’. It is not very scary but when it rushed down from the high points, it was like the train was not moving on the track. I was like falling out of the train. I screamed loud again, but mommy screamed louder again.

Then, we went to the ‘Adventure Land’ to play ‘Raging River’. I liked it because the water was cool. We rushed down and all my clothes got wet, but my Mom wore a rain coat given by her student, so she didn’t got wet. We played this twice because we want more wet.

In the evening, we stopped and had a drink with many ice. It makes me cooler. Then, we went to a fast food shop named ‘Golden Fried Chicken’ for dinner. It was 9.30 pm already . My Mom bought some chicken wings and fries. They were yummy.

After dinner, we went to have a ride in the’ Ocean Park Tower’ to look at the night view and take some photos. Then we went to the ‘Atoll Reef’ to look at fish, sharks and different kinds of ocean animals. The fish tank is so big like the ocean. I like ‘devil fish’ the most. But I was not very happy because I could not go to ‘Jelly Fish Spectacular’ because we had no time.

This time, I felt I was brave because I played many adult rides. Last time, I went to the ‘Children Kingdom’ only. I miss the Shark Museum and the Dinosaur Museum a lot, but they disappeared. We played from 5.30 pm to 10.30 pm. I hope I can play few more hours.

A Fun Day with My Friend, Gareth

Yesterday, my Mom and I took a taxi to Gareth’s home to play. Gareth’s Mom, Auntie Icy, made some strawberry pudding for us. It tasted good.

First, Gareth showed me his pet, Tommie the turtle. This was the first time I touched a turtle. It was so itchy when he was walking on my hand. I think I like Tommie and watching him shower but I am afraid of touching him.

Then, we went to their Club House to play table tennis. We all played happily.

Next, we went back home to make a snack, named ‘Pineapple Pizza’. Gareth showed me how to make, then I followed him to make. I put some tomato sauce, a piece of cheese, ham and pineapple on a slice of bread. After that, Gareth’s maid put them into the oven. I ate the pizza made by Gareth and Gareth ate the pizza made by me. It was so yummy and fun to make. Thank you, Gareth for teaching me making snacks! We all laughed when Gareth was talking about a football match. It was funny!

Gareth took out a book named ‘大智力200’. Gareth asked a lot of questions, like looking for 華盛頓 in a picture. It is quite hard but it is interesting. I like this book very much.

Then, Gareth and I played chess together. They were ‘四子連環棋’ and ‘Chinese Checkers’. Both of us won one game. Later, we played ‘Scrabble’. It was the first time Gareth played the game, but he won the game! I thanked Gareth very much for helping me putting a letter ‘C’ for ‘Clip’ and I got 24 marks! I think if I was Gareth, I would not help me. Now, I learnt helping people makes people happy.

We had dinner at about 8 pm. Gareth’s brother, Tony cooked yummy pasta with sausages, green and red pepper and some mushrooms. I like it better than the spaghetti cooked by his maid.

Gareth and I played the piano after dinner. His song named ‘Air Mail’ and my song named ‘Fur Elise’.

Then Gareth asked me to go to his room. We played 四子連環棋 again. I saw he has many little toys put on the drawers next to his bed. They are cute. Lastly, we played a very special game. (I don’t know the name.) We needed to follow the picture and filled the black holes ourselves. There are many levels. When it becomes more difficult, there are many black holes. We worked together to fill the black holes. I love this game!

I enjoyed this visit very much. Thank you Auntie Icy for giving me the books and the book that Gareth wrote. Thank you Gareth for lending me ‘Kung Fu Panda’ and ‘大智力200’. Thank you Tony for cooking dinner for us.

I like Gareth and his family because they are friendly and helpful. I hope I can play with them very soon again.

A Trip to 東莞 and 廣州

Last Sunday to this Wednesday, my parents, grandparents, cousins, uncles and aunts went to 東莞 and 廣州 with me.

Day 1
First, we went to東莞塘廈, the ‘Goodview Hotel’. It is so beautiful. We stayed in親水區, the Poolside room. We could jump into the water from our balcony. The pool is very big (8,000 square meter), it is like a jungle because there are many trees. There are also music and fog when we swam past some trees. There are slides. This is the biggest and the most beautiful swimming pool I never seen.

We had lunch and dinner at Han Palace, the Chinese Restaurant. The food was very yummy. After dinner, my cousin Ally and I played in the playroom. We jumped happily on the trampoline and the ‘Ball Pool’.

Day 2
In the morning, we ate buffet breakfast at the Solmar Restaurant, I took food I liked myself, like sausages and fry eggs.

In the afternoon, we went to the city centre, 樟木頭. I don’t like it. The shopping mall is big but the air-con is not cold enough. We bought some snacks at the mall. Then, we had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Next, we went to buy DVDs.

At 4 pm, we went back to the hotel and swim again. The water was so cool. We took our snacks and drinks to the poolside and even ate them in the water.

At night, we ate dinner at Han Palace again.

Day 3
After breakfast, my Dad and I went swimming again. Then we took a bus to the train station and then went to廣州. The train was fast and beautiful. The fastest speed was 200 km per hour. I could see the speed, the time, the temperature and where we were going on the screen.


Then we went to a hotel named 景星酒店. This one is not very beautiful but it has computer and DVD player in the room. We had lunch at 康師父牛肉麵店. I like it.

At 7 pm, we had dinner with relatives live in 廣州. I don’t know those people but mom and dad were talking with the people happily. There was a lot of food to eat.

That night, I stayed in the same room with Ally and Elaine. We played and watched TV until 1 am.

Day 4
We got up early and had buffet breakfast. The food was not better than Goodview Hotel. Then, we walked to a very big book shop. We walked about half an hour. It was so hot. I bought two books about 圍棋 and some VCDs about table-tennis.

We had lunch with relatives live in 廣州 again. After lunch, we took MTR to廣州 train station. The MTR is smaller than the Hong Kong MTR. Next, we took a train to 深圳. Then, we took KCR to Tai Wai, to go home.

Before this trip I was unhappy because I could not take an aeroplane this year. But now I felt happy because this trip was fun. I like the swimming pool in Goodview Hotel and the buffet breakfast very much. I hope I can go to東莞 and live in this kind of beautiful hotel again.

My Second Term report card

On Thursday, my Mom went to my school hall to watch me get the certificates. I am glad I am still NUMBER 1.

I got these certificates:
中文科成績優異
英文科成績優異
全級常識科成績卓越獎
品學兼優獎
榮譽獎狀
The 2nd “Learning Fun” English Scholarship – English Story Competition: GOLD in Junior Primary (Intra-School)

Thank you teachers, mommy and dad for teaching me and helping me a lot this year. I will still work hard next year.

Next year I will go to 4A class. My friend, Jack, will be in the same class but other good friends, To To, Ivan and Peter will not be in my class. I am a little bit sad. I will go to their classroom to see them during recess time.

Going to the Cinema

Yesterday afternoon, my Mom and I went to a cinema to watch a movie named 'Kung Fu Panda'. It is a cartoon by Dreamworks.

This story is about a panda named Po. Po is so fat, he had a big tummy. When the movie starts, Po has a dream that he is a fighter, he kills many bad guys. Po’s father is not a Panda. He is a goose. He and Po work in a noodle shop. Po likes to be a fighter, but his father wants him to be a chef cooking noodles.

One day when he is watching the five fighters fighting. The Kung Fu Master ‘Tortoise’ says he is the best fighter, and he can defeat ‘Leopard’. Leopard’s kung fu is so good, but he was very mean and moody when he was young. So Turtle sent him to prison for 20 years. ‘Leopard’ escaped from the prison, even 1000 soldiers were watching him.

Turtle told ‘Shifu’ to teach Po kung fu. Po works very hard. If he doesn’t work hard, he doesn’t have food to eat. Soon, Po learnt all the kung fu from ‘Shifu’.

Po doesn’t need any kung fu secret, but he still defeats ‘Leopard’. At last he becomes the best fighter.

This story teaches us even you are not good at something, if you work hard, you will succeed.

I like this movie because the story is good and their talking is funny. Many people were laughing very loudly. I enjoyed the movie, the popcorns and the coke.

The English Drama Day

This morning, I performed two dramas in English in school.

The first drama was called ‘Billy, the Poor Boy’. My role is a friend of the main role, Billy. Billy is a poor boy. He eats little every day. He thinks of a way to earn money. I help him a lot as a friend. I have 8 lines to say. My costumes were a dark colour T-shirt and a pair of black shorts.

In the second one, I performed in a musical called ‘Lion King’. I played a lion and I sang a few songs. I dressed as a lion, the hair on my body was yellow and brown and I had a tail too. I looked like a real lion! I saw many schoolmates laughing happily when we were performing and they all clapped loudly at the end of the show.

In the first term, I performed in another musical called ‘Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’. I played an Egyptian. My costumes were beautiful.

I felt happy when I was performing the dramas though I was always shy to speak the lines loudly. But after today, I became brave. Mr. Jamie gave me a certificate in Performing Arts. I would like to perform more next year!

What I am scared of

When I see an animal on TV,

I laugh happily.

But when I see a dog on the street,

I scream and run quickly.

When I hear thunder,

I put my head under my pillow.

I am scared of bees and bugs,

Flies and butterflies;

When I see these insects,

I ran fast and yell loud.

I am scared of dog bark

And also the dark!

Visiting My Grandpa and Grandma

Last Sunday, my Dad and Mom took me to my grandparents’ home. We had lunch together. The '菠蘿冰' was delicious! I ate fried rice too.

After one hour, we all went swimming in the club house. There was a waterfall in the pool. Grandma and Mom let water fall on her their heads. Grandma didn’t know how to swim, she only went to 按摩池. Dad, Mum and I swam to the deep water zone. But Mom swam faster than me. Dad called himself ‘飛魚’, but he swam very slowly. My cousin, Ally brought a water gun to shoot water to me, even when I was five feet away from her, it still came to me.

Then, we went to a table tennis room to play table tennis. My grandpa was the best player. Ally didn’t know how to play, she hit the ball like frying an egg. I won the game with my Dad. Grandma didn’t play with us because she was tired after swimming.

Lastly, we went to a Chinese restaurant to have dinner. I liked ‘炸雞軟骨’ the best. All of us enjoyed ourselves a lot.

We will play more in the holiday. My elder cousin, Elaine, will come back from UK. We can play together soon.

Camping in Easter Holiday

I'll never forget my first camping in the Easter holiday. It was a YMCA camp. We went to Wu Kai Sha with a group of children. There were all boys. My good friend, Jeff played with me too.

The first night, we took our torch and went to find the clues and answer them. The next day, the tutor took us to the playground to play ball games and drew pictures on the T-shirt. The most exciting game was on the last day. We went to the three shopping malls to look for different things and places in a short time. Then we took a KCR to a university to look for a person born in March and sang a song to him. I never played all these games before. They were fun.

This camp is unforgettable. I hope I can go again with Jeff.

My group members and tutors

We play games in the morning.

I was looking for things in a shopping mall.

My group 'Sharks" got higher marks

I got a certificate on the last day

My 'Horrible Harry' series

My mom bought me a pack of 'Horrible Harry' Books, written by Suzy Kline. I read one called 'The Purple People' tonight. I love it because the pictures are beautiful and the story is funny. There are many purple people in the classroom but the teachers can't see them.

This book has 53 pages and I finished reading the book in thirty minutes. I will read other 'Horrible Harry' stories in the holiday.

My new present

I did well in my piano exam and my Mum bought me a box of game, named 'Traffic Control Airport'. I have to put each puzzle onto the board so that all aeroplanes are in the right location and flying in the right direction. There are 4 levels and 48 challenges in this game.

It's a game I can play alone. But mommy and dad like to play too. This game makes us think more and becomes smarter. We cried out loud when we got it right and went up a level.

I would like to recommend this game to all of you.

An extra holiday

I wished so much last night it's a holiday today. I slept very late telling mom, 'We don't have to sleep early because it's typhoon No.8 tomorrow.' Mom said, 'What if not?' Then I slept at 11.30 pm.

This morning I feel very very happy and excited. I don't have to go to school. This is the first I have an extra holiday because of typhoon No. 8.

Mommy also has an extra holiday too, but she is still busy. So I cannot play with her. Poor me!

I decide to play games and play the piano today. Also, I will read some books too!

The last table tennis lesson

I had my last table tennis lesson today. My coach wanted us to have races with my team mates. I won three games and lose one game. Also, my coach gave us a certificate. It makes me happy.

I will start another course in the summer holiday. I hope I can learn more skills and win more games in the races. My Mom and Dad don't play well and they always mix up the rules. I will teach them at the holiday.

My New Book

My Uncle bought me a new Chinese book, called'小朋友最想知道的世界大發明'. I learnt something about how people create different things, like newspaper, bicycles, instant noodles and computer. Those are interesting stories.

I like the story about instant noodles the most because now I know the noodles are fried and they were created in 1955 by a Japanese. His name was: 安藤百福.

I thank 安藤百福 for his noodles because without him, I cannot eat 出前一丁.
