BHS Clothes Drive with Redress Asia
Huge thank you to the people who have donated to our Redress Asia Clothes Drive. This is a great opportunity to donate unwanted clothes to a great cause. We have one more week to go, all clothes must be in by Friday 27th April. We are looking for:
- Good quality clothes, accessories and shoes for women, men and children.
- Clean items.
- No underwear, socks, swimsuits or home textiles.
Donations will be collected and carefully sorted by Redress for distribution to local HK charities. Top quality clothing will be sold to raise funds for Redress in a pop-up shop following the drive, whilst the clothes that cannot be used for the charity beneficiaries will be kept for Redress’ new circular economy initiative and ultimately recycled into new yarns!
Please support Redress’ work to cut waste out of fashion!

Homes have been influenced by a variety of factors over time.
We will be inquiring into:
- What a home is (form)
- Why homes have changed over time (causation)
- How homes in Hong Kong (the local environment) have changed over time (change)
This coming week the children will start to examine the factors that have led to the changes in homes around Hong Kong. They will reflect on their trip to Tai O and Tung Chung to examine the social factors that have led to the types of housing found in these areas.
Estimation allows us to measure with different levels of accuracy
- Identifying the standard units used to measure length / mass / capacity/ time
- How we measure objects with accuracy
- How we solve problems involving measurement
Objectives:
- Read and write the time to the quarter hour and 5 minute intervals (past, to)
- Estimate and compare lengths of time: second, minute, hour, day, week, months and years
This coming week the children will be continuing to learn to tell the digital and analogue time. Please help the children by asking them what the time is! Particularly when it is quarter to or quarter past.
Mathletics passwords are in your child’s diary. Please make sure that an adult supports your child when working through the activities.
This coming week we will continue to look at the different features that are common to information texts and start to write one individually.
We will continue to look at summarising what we have read by highlighting keywords and taking notes. We will also examine what we know prior to reading, what we learnt after reading and how we can join this information to create new knowledge – synthesis.
THANK YOU
Thank you to all our parents who came to support us on our trip to Tai O and Tung Chung. It was a great success and would not have been possible without your help.
