(9/12/2024) Under the guidance of the principal and Teacher Jade, Teacher Chialun led the second graders from Class 203 to the meeting room for a fun English and agri-food activity centered around making pizza. Teacher Jade taught the students the names of different pizza ingredients in English. The principal then guided them step-by-step through kneading the dough, spreading tomato sauce, adding toppings, and baking the pizzas.

The students' smiles showed how much they enjoyed the activity, and their spoken English demonstrated how they were learning in a fun and practical way.
