Hello, everyone!

The end of 2022 is just around the corner, and so is the end of the first semester at Qing Pu Elementary School. Before the year goes out with the old and in with the new, let us look back at some of the highlights of the first half of the school year!

The fun and learning never stop as the students learn new things under the Bilingual Education program. A wide variety of topics have been introduced to them, including Food, Clothing, and Transportation in their International Education classes as well as Understanding New Life, Interpersonal Relationships, Respect for Different Ethnic Groups, and Environmental Protection Issues in their Integrative Activities classes. All of these were taught through fun and engaging activities, allowing students to share their ideas. Apart from these, students will also be familiarized with local travel destinations and transportation in the coming few days as they head to the Gloria Outlets and Taoyuan Baseball Stadium on a bus or the MRT for their Outdoor Visit.

To further motivate students to meet new people and exchange ideas with them in English, they were encouraged to become members of International Pen Pals. Students at Qing Pu Elementary School have been able to connect with students in South Korea, Singapore, India, and the Philippines on Google Meet. After weeks of preparing their PowerPoint slides, they were able to share interesting things about themselves. They also had the chance to exchange ways of conserving oceans and marine resources. They have learned something new and made new friends, too!

Turning to other events, the school hosted the annual Sports Day on November 12, and it was met with much enthusiasm. Students hopped, jumped, and ran as they aimed for the gold. Parents and teachers also joined the fun as they ended the day with a relay race. All of this would not be possible without the help of the hardworking teachers and the support of parents and friends of Qing Pu Elementary School. Kudos to all of you! The Halloween Activity held on October 26 was also filled with fun as students paraded in their colorful Halloween costumes along the school corridors. They all looked cute!

We would like to extend our gratitude to everyone for making the first half of this school year a fantastic one! Let us continue working hard so that the fun and learning truly do not stop as we approach the next half!
