With ‘Fit and Fabulous’ as the theme, our school’s English Department has organized the Fifth English Speaking Day, in which students explored how to become physically and mentally healthy.

The day kicked off with warm greetings from our English Ambassadors and teachers at the school entrance, followed by a morning sharing through the Campus TV. A quick survey on stress was done and a few de-stressing exercises were introduced. To consolidate students’ learning, S.1-6 students had to complete their morning reading on LoiloNote titled ‘Exercising to Relax’ and discussed with their class.

During the recess time, students completed their English Speaking Booklet and chit-chatted with their English teachers. In this activity, students have learnt about how to make and give positive affirmations to themselves, so that they can become more positive in life.

For the S.1 lunch activity, students have learnt how to relax and de-stress, through some simple exercises (like shoulder shrugs and box breathing) as well as how to talk to their peers. The highlight of the S.1 lunch activity was creating their own de-stress balls by using balloons and flour. On their de-stress balls, students wrote some positive quotes and advice on their balloons to remind themselves to stay positive. We would like to thank our S.5 student helpers from 5A and 5B for guiding the S.1 students during these activities.
