School-based curriculum
General English Programme
Approach:
- The curriculum provides a balanced focus on developing the four major language skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing;
- About 60% of lesson time is allocated for the development of learners’ language skills and strategies.
Key strategies adopted:
1.1 P.1-P.6 Reading Enrichment programme
1.Enhancing learners’ language skills through integrative language use- The Space Town Literacy Programme (Space Town) is implemented in Key Stage 1 (P.1-3) to enhance reading and writing strategies. The Native English teachers (NETs) conduct English lessons every week.
- The Keys 2 Literacy Development (Keys 2) is adopted in Key Stage 2 (P.4-6) to develop learners’ reading and writing skills progressively via a variety of learning and teaching strategies and builds upon SpaceTown as both programs are developed by the EDB NET Section.
- Local English Teachers teach reading and writing skills explicitly to support learners to progress from reading to writing.
- Storytelling sessions are conducted by four NETs at the Chi King Power Reading Bus during lunchtime every week. Reading with the Principal is held regularly to motivate young learners to read and express themselves.
2.Making good use of learning time to develop generic skills and inquiry, encourage holistic thinking and learn independently and actively
2.1 English Language Environment Enrichment Programme
- The program provides learners with ample opportunities to practice and improve their English language skills in a supportive and stimulating environment.
- For instance, P.1 Cake making and Greeting with Professor Paws, P.2 Visit to Science Museum, P.4 Kahoot! Competition, P.4-6 Exchange activities with Kellett International School, English Fun Day and other cultural learning activities.
- Different extra-curricular activities (ECAs) are held after school to promote active engagement with the English language. STEAM-related activities including science experiments, and coding and programming are conducted for all P.1 to P.6 learners. Language-related activities including English Drama Club, Time to Talk, Chi King’s Got Talent, Choral speaking and reading activities are also incorporated.
- E-learning tools and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) classes are adopted for Key Stage 2 learners inside and outside the classrooms to foster self-directed learning.
- Talented and gifted learners are nominated for competitions, for example, The Hong Kong Speech Festival, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals “Good People, Good Deeds: English Writing Competition”, “Hong Kong English Speaking and Performing Contest 2024” and RTHK “In the Common Room” broadcast.
3.Strengthening cross-curricular learning and RaC to foster learners’ whole-person development
3.1 Life-wide Learning Week Programme
- The program provides learners with a diverse range of learning experiences beyond the traditional classroom setting
- Students participate in different learning activities outside the school, engage with interesting reading materials and do creative writing, as well as to reflect independently to foster whole-person development.
4.Using value-driven reading materials and activities to cover the cognition, affect and action domains to stimulate learners’ reflection
- Extended reading materials and activities are incorporated into the daily English lessons to enhance learners’ critical thinking and cultivate their love for reading.
- Value-driven reading books and learning activities can enhance learners’ emotional engagement and develop their empathy to gain a deeper understanding of others’ beliefs, cultures and feelings.
4.1 SCOLAR’s English Alliance “Learning English with Drama Fun”
- Learners adopt English in real-life situations together with non-verbal language. They explore a selected theme, i.e. Feelings and Emotions through a variety of drama activities.

Mr Edwards
Hello everyone!
Nice to meet you, my name is Mr. Edwards. I come from Wales, which is in the UK. My hobbies include reading and playing sports such as rugby and basketball, as well as hiking. I have been working at Chi King for the last 14 years and am so grateful to be part of such a caring and professional team of teachers. This year, I will teach the Space Town English curriculum to P1, P2 and P3 students. I also teach English Drama and other extra-curricular activities such as choral speaking and STEM related lessons. I always love to chat and interact with students, so please come and say hi whenever you see me!
Together, the NET team at Chi King create an authentic English language-learning environment. Through carefully tailored lessons and activities, as well as special English events like ‘Halloween Fun Day’, students can immerse themselves in a fun, language rich experience that builds up their confidence and English ability. We care for and nurture our students, encouraging participation and creating a positive and happy environment that is better and more fun for everyone!

My name is Ms. Binal, and it is my pleasure to be your child’s Net Teacher at Buddhist Chi King Primary School! I hope to have a great year with all the wonderful kids. It’s going to be full of pleasurable learning experiences and fun through our curriculum-based learning, and lots of fun-loving activities! You will be able to enjoy the growth of your kids’ personalities as an athlete, artist, dancer, actor, or an active learner who likes to read or excel in his or her studies.
I like to introduce myself. I am from India, and I live in a city called Mumbai. I am married and have one son. I enjoy reading, storytelling, crafting, and dancing. I have always loved teaching, and this is my eighth year of teaching at this school. This year I’m excited as always and looking forward to teaching P1, P2 and P3. The main objective of my teaching is to teach English through Space Town, enabling students to develop their knowledge of the subject through practising listening, speaking, reading, writing skills. In addition, this year we will be having activities like baking cake, making a mask and learning how to write an email as a part of their learning development. Thank you for choosing and giving us the opportunity to help and guide your kids to be the best they can and more. We at Buddhist Chi King Primary School will do our best to make this year’s experiences wonderful.
Ms Marzia
With great delight, let me extend my gratitude to all of you. Welcome back to another year of wonderful learning opportunities. Keeping the student’s continuous development in mind, we have planned many new activities which will directly benefit them. In addition to that, the activities will also give a purpose to build up love for learning.
This year, I am going to teach P1 to P6. I am excited to announce that we will continue our theme-based hands-on learning activity, Magic English. In Magic English, we try to cover wide ranges of topics, from ocean habitats to the solar system, from seasonal greetings to movies; from human body to different cuisine. This year, alongside teaching the vocabularies, we are planning to extend our learning journey by offering- stem, crafting, magic and much more.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, one of our most thrilling activities is going to be-“Chi King’s Got Talent”. The core objective of Chi King’s Got Talent is to build up student’s confidence while demonstrating their talents in different arenas- covering from singing to visual arts, acting to writing poems. We certainly believe every child is unique. As an educator, our top most priority is to guide the children through a proper direction, so they can enhance their talents and skills. With that thought in mind, we have designed Chi King’s Got Talent as a unique platform to learn about famous personalities in the world, navigating their own interests and sharpening their talent. At the end of the school year, there will be a surprise- “A performance at Chi King Parade”.
Moving on to our most thrilled activities, Time to Talk. For the first time, we are planning to participate in Time to Talk, which is a public speaking competition run by EDB. This year, the overarching theme is Love, which could be love for self, love for country, love for family and friends; or love for nature. Students will choose different songs or topics to express and share their thoughts in public. The competition not only focuses on apt talking abilities and confidence, but also seeks for team collaboration, respect and perseverance.
With a heart full of joy, I am eagerly looking forward to meeting all my students. I am sure we will have a spectacular year ahead.
Ms Ansa
Hello everyone!
So happy you are all here! Hope you had an awesome summer vacation. It’s now time to seek unlimited opportunities for learning by engaging together. Let us together make this a year to remember.
This year let’s dive into “Celebration of Cultures” by learning about different festivals celebrated around the world. “Celebration of Cultures” is a fun-filled culture-based activity that will help students develop respect and understanding for diverse values and beliefs. Students will be introduced to a particular festival in each lesson. They will develop a detailed understanding of the festival and get a glimpse of how each festival is celebrated through art and craft. Wouldn’t it be fun to make rangoli, apply mehndi, or decorate easter eggs all while learning about different festivals?
We will also have the “Big Bang Academy” this year – an academy that will make you fall in love with science. “Big Bang Academy” is a science-based activity that will help students learn how to explore and wonder about the things surrounding them. Students may have questions like ‘How do we feel different textures?’, ‘Where does the rain come from?’ and more. With an understanding of science, students will be able to answer those questions. Additionally, students will learn by doing, which will help students better understand those science concepts.
“Coding with Mochi” is another STEAM activity that we will be having this year. This activity will help students learn the basics of computer programming in a playful, hands-on way. They will learn some basic coding elements as well as explore different topics. Students will input instructions through coding blocks and control Mochi to move, which will allow them to apply the different programming concepts, such as sequences and functions, as well as help students understand direction.
I just can’t wait to be doing all those fun activities with you all!
