Week 3 of the Primary school holiday program provided the students with amazing learning opportunities indoors and outdoors full of fun and knowledge. 

The classroom has been challenging students in their English skills and also been a place for making new friends and sharing culture and knowledge. The outdoor activities have made this experience even better, giving students the chance to learn and practise their English skills in the real world as well as further develop social skills.

To wrap up Week 3, students enjoyed a full-day excursion to Movie world. The group spent the day exploring different the rides, attractions, and shows around the park. We went on roller coasters and car ride attractions. We also watched a live Batman show and the Looney Tunes 4D movie, which students really enjoyed. Throughout the day, everyone had time to explore the park, have fun with friends, and enjoy the atmosphere. 

It was an exciting and unforgettable experience, and a perfect reward after a week of learning and collaboration.
