Interdisciplinary theme learning Academic year 2019-2020

From Jan 14 to Jan 15, we started the interdisciplinary theme learning week for P1 to P3.

This year’s learning theme was, “Happy birthday to CCS” and letting students use the concept of green living for our school’s birthday celebrations. We adopted “exploration in 4 steps”:

Discover the problem, analyze & organize, collect information and act, allowing students to learn and cultivate the practice of green living.
