Dear Year 3 Parents and Guardians,
We are delighted to inform you about an exciting excursion we have planned to support the Year 3 curriculum in Term 2.
Details of the trip
We will be visiting the traditional fishing village of Tai O, in South Lantau. This trip will support our ‘Mighty Civilisations’ unit, by learning about how Tai O’s settlement developed over 3,000 years ago. The children will have the opportunity to:
- Take a boat ride along the estuary to explore the stilt houses;
- Interview an elderly local fisherman about his life growing up in Tai O;
- Visit the Tai O Museum;
- Work with local guides to cook ancient snacks created in the Tai O village;
- Visit local temples and learn about the local myths and legends
- Navigate around the village to develop map skills.
