Our Primary 5 students had an exciting day as they hosted students from Pat Heung Primary School, Hong Kong. Despite meeting for the first time, the students from both countries connected well and collaborated on a STEM activity. They worked together to build a parachute that could stay in the air as long as possible.

Three children sit on a wooden floor working on a craft project with white circular material, string, and small cups.

"Working on the STEM activity with my new friend, Brenmma, was amazing! We combined our ideas, learnt from each other, and had so much fun! It was great to see how different perspectives can come together to create something awesome. It made me appreciate teamwork more!" reflected Japheth from 5 Topaz.

The students also spent their recess together. "During recess, I sat next to Wafa. It was amazing to hear him talk about his life in Hong Kong. He told me about the different food they eat, the festivals they celebrate, and how different the schools in Hong Kong are. It was fun learning new things and making new friends. It showed me how big and interesting the world is!" said Felisha from 5 Topaz.

This meaningful collaboration fostered teamwork and creativity, demonstrating the power of cross-cultural exchange in education.
