2月7日・「樂聚譽東涌」新春嘉年華 
肩負傳承使命，我們連結社區裡裡外外，更創新地將古今科技結合，為傳統節日注入新活力！嘉年華攤位除了傳統寫揮春、猜燈謎、手工藝工作坊外，更特別加入了AI人工智能、編程及LEGO元素！
孩子們運用編程控制機械馬踢球，上演一場別開生面的「數碼賽馬」；利用AI生成技術創作專屬新春揮春，又以LEGO搭建喜慶場景並加入馬年動態元素！傳統與科技碰撞出新火花，讓新舊街坊嘖嘖稱奇，歡笑聲此起彼落，大大增強社區凝聚力！
嘉年華當天，喜獲嗇色園主辦可德幼稚園、聖公會東涌服務及太陽島幼稚園(東涌分校)鼎力支持，同時獲得家長教師會及嗇色園生物流動實驗室積極參與，體現家校社共融，攜手弘揚中華文化！

2月12日・吉樹祈願@譽知國學室
2月12日午息時段，譽知國學室熱鬧非凡，孩子們紛紛湧至剛添置的「吉樹」下，參與一場充滿傳統氣息的祈願活動。當天中文課上，大家剛剛認識了「吉」字在新年的祝福意義，並學會了閱讀春聯的方法，正好學以致用。
孩子們拿起顏色筆，用心地在紙上繪畫出一個個五彩繽紛的「吉」字，並在旁邊添上自己的願望——學業進步、身體健康、家人幸福……然後在普通話大使的協助下，小心翼翼地將這些承載心意的作品「掛」在樹上。一時間，樹上綴滿了色彩斑斕的祝福，場面溫馨又熱鬧。
透過這次活動，孩子們不僅將課堂所學的文學知識付諸實踐，更親身體驗了傳統新年習俗的樂趣，為迎接新一年作好準備！
2月13日上午・親子馬年花市遊 
文化周期間，可譽孩子以畢業生身分，參與由救世軍源林潔和幼稚園舉辦的「親子馬年花市遊」！可譽在花市中設立「龍在可譽，駿馬迎春」攤位，孩子們化身小導師，耐心教授幼稚園弟妹及家長製作傳統紙龍，讓參加者親手體驗中國傳統手藝的精妙。龍舞花市，馬躍新春，將中華文化之美傳承開去。
2月13日下午・新春同樂日 
文化周壓軸活動「新春同樂日」在校園火熱登場，這次對象為校內學生，由小五、小六年級學生施展渾身解數，自主設計以AI為主題的創意攤位！高年級哥哥姐姐運用所學，將人工智能融入遊戲設計，吸引小一至小四弟妹踴躍投票參與支持。攤位前人頭湧湧，笑聲不斷，在校園內掀起一片AI熱潮！
同場更加映中華文化專題研習成果展示，展出各級孩子在1月精心鑽研的學習成果。從傳統節日習俗到中華藝術瑰寶，從歷史人物故事到當代科技發展，同學們以海報、模型、多媒體演示等多種形式，展現他們對祖國文明的探索與思考，讓文化傳承在校園每個角落生根發芽。
這次活動不僅讓孩子欣賞文化之美、展示研習成果，更讓他們以畢業生身分回饋母校、以兄姊角色關愛弟妹、以升旗隊員身分展現愛國情懷，體現飲水思源的中華美德——昔日栽種的幼苗，今日已能開枝散葉，回饋師恩，薪火相傳，意義深遠！
可譽致力讓孩子寓學習於娛樂，在認識傳統習俗的同時，擁抱科技創新，連結國家情懷。在這個馬年新春，我們一起玩遊戲、學文化、展才藝、創科技、頌師恩、傳手藝、護國旗，滿載而歸！
祝願大家馬年一馬當先，與可譽一同傳承文化，創新未來，奔向他日輝煌！
On this first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone at Ho Yu would like to wish you a happy and prosperous Year of the Horse! 
May the new year bring you good health, academic success, and all the best!
As we welcome the Year of the Horse with its spirit of energy and progress, it’s the perfect time to look back at our “Gathering in Joy this New Year” Carnival and Chinese Culture Week held in early February! From the “Tung Chung Lunar New Year Gathering Gala @Ho Yu” on 7th February, to the Chinese Culture Week from 9th to 13th February, our school campus was filled with teachers, students, parents, and Tung Chung neighbours gathering together in a warm and festive atmosphere!
7th February · Tung Chung Lunar New Year Gathering Gala @Ho Yu
Embracing our mission to pass on traditions, we connected the community both inside and out – and this year, we innovatively combined ancient wisdom with modern technology to inject new vitality into traditional festivals! Alongside classic activities like writing New Year couplets, solving lantern riddles, and handicraft workshops, our carnival booths specially featured AI, coding, and LEGO elements!
Children used coding to control robotic horses kicking balls, staging a unique “digital horse race”; they used AI generation technology to create personalised New Year couplets, and built festive scenes with LEGO incorporating dynamic elements for the Year of the Horse! The exciting fusion of tradition and technology amazed both new and old neighbours, with laughter filling the air and greatly enhancing community cohesion!
On the day of the gala, we were honoured to have the strong support of three organisations – Ho Tak Kindergarten (sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen), Sheng Kung Hui Tung Chung Services, and Sunshine House Preparatory School (Tung Chung Branch). We also received enthusiastic participation from the Parent-Teacher Association and the Sik Sik Yuen Biotechnology Mobile Laboratory, exemplifying the integration of home, school, and community in jointly promoting Chinese culture!
9th-13th February · Chinese Culture Week
This five-day Culture Week was packed with diverse activities, allowing children to experience the essence of Chinese culture from all angles!
9th February: All students took part in joyful rope skipping activities, showcasing their vitality and energy through light and bouncy movements, welcoming the new year with healthy bodies!
10th February was packed with excitement! In the morning, all students gathered on the playground, full of energy for Martial Arts Exercises! Learning the spirit and energy of Chinese martial arts through every move – strengthening their bodies while inheriting the spirit of continuous self-improvement, injecting positive energy into the new day!
That afternoon, the thrilling inter-house literary competition “How Much Do You Know About Chinese Culture” took place! Students competed with wit and knowledge, deepening their understanding of our motherland’s civilisational development through quiz battles, inheriting wisdom and carrying it forward! After intense competition, Chi House (Yellow House) emerged victorious, claiming the championship title! Congratulations to all Yellow House students!
11th February · English New Year Couplets
Under the guidance of Ms Gurleen and Mr. John, children wrote English New Year couplets, reinterpreting traditional blessings in an international language. The fusion of Chinese and Western cultures sparked boundless creativity, adding vibrancy to the exciting ahead!
12th February · Primary School Flag Raising Ceremony & Flag Guard Achievement Exhibition
A solemn and heartwarming moment arrived during Culture Week! The school held a “Primary School Flag Raising Ceremony & Flag Guard Achievement Exhibition” during the morning assembly, with parents specially invited to attend and witness their children’s learning achievements. The Flag Guard members marched in perfect unison, displaying the results of months of dedicated training. After the ceremony, team members explained the significance of the flag raising ceremony to parents and shared their training experiences, celebrating the joys and gains of their growth journey. With home and school united, we witnessed this glorious moment of together!
12th February ·Wishing Tree Blessings @ Yu Zhi Sinology Room
On 12th February during lunch break, the Yu Zhi Chinese Studies Room was filled with excitement as students gathered around the newly added “Wishing Tree” to take part in a traditional blessing activity. Earlier that day in Chinese class, they had learned about the auspicious meaning of the character “Ji” (fortune) during the New Year and how to read couplets—knowledge they were now eager to put into practice.
Using colour pens, the children carefully drew colourful “Ji” characters on paper, adding their personal wishes alongside—hopes for academic progress, good health, family happiness, and more. With the help of the Putonghua Ambassadors, they gently “hung” their heartfelt creations onto the tree. Soon, the tree was adorned with a vibrant display of blessings, creating a warm and joyous scene.
Through this activity, students not only applied the literary knowledge gained in the classroom but also experienced the beauty of traditional New Year customs, getting themselves ready to welcome the year ahead!
Morning of 13th February · Parent-Child Year of the Horse Flower Market Tour
During Culture Week, our Ho Yu students, as alumni, participated in the “Parent-Child Year of the Horse Flower Market Tour” organised by SA Rosita Yuen Kindergarten! Ho Yu set up a booth named “Dragons at Ho Yu, Galloping Horses Welcome the Spring” at the flower market. Our students became little instructors, patiently teaching kindergarten children and their parents how to make traditional paper dragons, allowing participants to experience firsthand the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional Chinese handicrafts. Dragons dancing at the flower market, horses galloping into the New Year – passing on the beauty of Chinese culture for generations to come.
Afternoon of 13th February · New Year Fun Day
The grand finale of Culture Week, the “New Year Fun Day,” took place on campus, targeting our school students. Our Primary 5 and 6 students went all out, independently designing creative booths with an AI theme! Applying what they had learned, these senior students integrated artificial intelligence into game designs, attracting younger siblings from Primary 1 to 4 to actively participate and vote for their favourite booths. Crowds gathered at each booth, laughter filled the air, sparking an AI craze across the campus!
At the same time, we also featured a Chinese Culture Project Exhibition, showcasing the learning outcomes that students from all levels had diligently researched during January. From traditional festival customs to treasures of Chinese art, from historical figures to contemporary technological developments, students presented their exploration and reflections on Chinese civilisation through various forms including posters, models, and multimedia presentations, allowing cultural heritage to take root in every corner of the campus.
This series of events not only allowed children to appreciate the beauty of culture and showcase their project achievements, but also enabled them, as alumni, to give back to their alma mater, as older siblings to care for their younger peers, and as Flag Guard members to express their patriotic spirit – embodying the traditional Chinese virtue of “remembering one’s roots” . The saplings planted yesterday are now branching out, returning kindness to their teachers, passing the torch from generation to generation. A truly profound and meaningful experience!
At Ho Yu, we are dedicated to enabling children to learn through play – embracing technological innovation while understanding traditional customs and connecting with our national heritage. This Year of the Horse, we played games, learned about culture, showcased talents, explored technology, honoured our teachers, passed on traditional crafts, and paid tribute to our national flag – returning home with hearts full of joy!
Wishing everyone a Year of the Horse full of energy and progress. May we all gallop forward with Ho Yu, passing on our culture while innovating for the future, towards a bright tomorrow!
