English Day Celebration

At Sekolah Harapan Bangsa, students learn three different languages: Indonesian, English and Mandarin.  These three languages are very important for students to learn in order to prepare themselves better in the future. On this special day, Sekolah Harapan Bangsa commemorated English Day on Thursday, March 17, 2022.

This activity aims to foster the spirit of reading books and motivate students to start building the habit of reading books. There were two famous British writers introduced, Beatrix Potter and J. K. Rowling.

This year the event was held online. Grades 1 – 3 students watched Beatrix Potter’s short videos and discussed one of her famous books, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit”. The book reading was a delight for the students. After that, they engaged in fun and interactive activities; they did word searches and maze puzzles. On the other hand, Grades 4 – 6 watched short videos of J. K. Rowling and how she grew up surrounded by books that eventually led her to become a world-famous author. The event continued with a short quiz about sorting hats and crossword puzzles. The students really had fun and were glued to their seats during the entire event from the beginning till the end.
