農曆新年前夕，學生體驗了中華文化周，他們不僅唱賀年歌曲、玩蛇年遊戲，更品嚐了自製的盆菜。透過活動，學生除了加深中華文化的興趣和認識，更了解農曆新年背後的意義──關心他人的精神和家庭團聚一起重要性。元宵佳節，師生穿上各式各樣的華服應節，在午息期間更品嚐湯圓及猜燈謎，一起體驗元宵節的文化和氣氛。

  On the eve of the Lunar New Year, students participated in Chinese Culture Week. They sang New Year songs and played games related to the Year of the Snake and tasted homemade "Poon Choi." Through these activities allowed students to deepen their interest and understanding of Chinese culture while learning about the meaning behind the Lunar New Year which embodies the spirit of caring for others and the importance of family reunions.

During the Lantern Festival, both teachers and students donned various traditional costumes in celebration. During the lunch recess, they enjoyed glutinous rice balls (tangyuan) and engaged in guessing lantern riddles, truly immersing them in the culture and atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.

CMS Smarties Presentation Day "Alice in Wonderland"

On January 25th, 2025, CMS Smarties successfully held a Presentation Day. During this event, students and parents experienced a unique self-discovery journey in the evening, immersing themselves in different scenes while students from all levels showcased their talents and celebrated their learning achievements as expressive storytellers. Both teachers and students demonstrated their creativity and imagination through the "Alice in Wonderland" themed positive value reading program. The whimsical characters from the story came alive during the Presentation Day, fostering unity through positive values.

Students from P.1 to P.3 presented their learning journey in different key learning areas within their classrooms, while P.5 students delivered impressive performances in the hall. P.6 students incorporated immersive theatre into five famous scenes from the story: the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, the Queen of Hearts Trial, the Caterpillar's wisdom, Tunnels, the Pool of Tears, and a meeting with author Lewis Carroll. Their engaging performances provided interactive experiences for young children and parents, stimulating all five senses and contributing to a highly successful Presentation Day. Meanwhile, P.4 teachers and students organized a "Heart Searching Adventure" in Caine Lane Garden near the school, combining four interactive online puzzles with performances at different locations to engage students in collaborative problem-solving.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all parents, teachers, staff members, and support personnel who have strengthened the bonds within our CMS community and enhanced the significance of this event. Our collective efforts have successfully cultivated a passion for reading among our students, highlighting how essential reading is for both education and personal growth. As we reach this important point in our academic year, we are committed to nurturing these character strengths and positive values, continuing our journey as lifelong learners who share curiosity, creativity, courage, and love with each other. We look forward with great anticipation to next year's Presentation Day.

一年一度的學習成果展示日於1月25日在學校圓滿舉行。在這次活動中，同學們化身為愛麗絲夢遊仙境的角色，自信地向蒞臨的家長及嘉賓展現學習成果，帶領大家體驗了一次獨特的自我探索之旅。老師和同學們齊心協力，將故事中角色的美德及品格優點展現得淋漓盡致，讓每位參與者都在學習旅程中獲得成長。

在這次成果展示日中，同學們在故事情節裡盡情發揮才能，以歌聲傳遞心聲，用語言表達愛。不論是五年級的禮堂匯演，還是一至三年級的教室表演，大家都通過生動的情境化故事，將知識與趣味完美融合，呈現出富有創意的表演。六年級的同學更將故事中六個經典場景融入沉浸式戲劇：瘋帽子的茶會、紅心皇后的審判、毛毛蟲的智慧、神奇隧道、淚水之池，以及與作者劉易斯·卡羅的會面，為觀眾帶來精彩的互動體驗。同時，四年級師生在學校附近的堅巷花園策劃了「尋心歷奇」活動，巧妙結合四個互動網上解謎遊戲與實地表演，讓參與者共同投入解決富有趣味的情境難題。

這次展示日的圓滿成功，實有賴於每位成員的積極參與和鼎力支持。我們在孩子心中播下了熱愛閱讀的種子，引導他們從閱讀中學習，從閱讀中領悟生命的意義，成為真正的終身學習者。透過是次活動，我們向彼此傳遞了好奇、創意、勇氣和愛。讓我們懷著期待，相約明年再聚！
