Fun activities can be highly effective teaching tools, as the students of CCC Heep Woh Primary School (PM) will prove tonight when they stage the play The Blue Bird.
Four professional actors will join students from Primary One to Six, teachers and parents in the production funded by the Quality Education Fund.
Teacher Lee Kit-fong said the aim of the play was to improve students' public-speaking and organisation skills, boost their confidence and teach them how to work with other people as a team.
One student in particular impressed Ms Lee with his progress as a result of taking part in the production.
'He had very low self-esteem before the drama but now he has established a clearer self-image and his exam results have also improved,' she said.
The Blue Bird, which won Belgian Maurice Maeterlinck the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1911, is a children's classic. Two brothers undertake a long and difficult journey in search of a blue bird.
