Lee Gardens "Learn Through Play
@ Home" E-learning programmes
While schools are still suspended from face-to-face learning,
some awesome options to keep learning alive have been
introduced. From live-streamed classes to teaching materials,
Lee Gardens new programmes (for ages three to 10 years)
are sure to keep active minds busy. Explore STEM & Coding
courses, engage with instructors online, learn through play with
educational toys and reading materials and get Super Rewards
with kids e-Passbook Shopping Privileges (deals and e-stamps
via mobile phones). Advanced programmes include learning
the importance of environmental protection.
Here we come, Term 3. As learning at home continues in
Hong Kong, for the time being, we want you to feel confident
and ready for the challenges ahead. The Yew Chung College
of Early Childhood Education (YCCECE) is here to provide a
bit of useful guidance. YCCECE specialises in early childhood
education and they have prepared five super helpful tips
for parents as well as a series of short videos available on
YCCECE’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Homeschooling help from the
BBC, and David Attenborough
The BBC has launched regular daily lessons for homeschooling
in English and Maths, as well as many other subjects, on its
extended BBC Bitesize Daily webpage. The lessons are divided
by age group and have been created with the help of teachers
and other educational experts. They feature a mix of videos,
animations, practice activities, quizzes and games – with some
well known names and faces making appearances, such as
Sir David Attenborough giving lessons on all things geography
related and Spanish lessons from the footballer Sergio Aguero.
Mums and dads can also get advice on homsechooling.
