Desmond Dog leaps into Beacon Hill School last Wednesday!
March 26, 2018 at 1:14 pm | Posted in Beacon Hill School, Hong Kong Schools | Leave a commentTags: Stories about dogs, Story Readings, The Chinese Calendar Tales, The Tale of Desmond Dog, The Year of the Dog
Last Wednesday, Desmond Dog and I visited the fabulous kids of Beacon Hill School in Kowloon Tong! We had four funny (and highly educational :)!) reading sessions of The Tale of Desmond Dog with all the kids from Grades 1, 2, 3 and 6! They learned all about Hong Kong’s origins as a small fishing village, the infamous pirate queen Ching Shih, and the characteristics of people born in the Year of the Dog! A warm thank you to the lovely Emily Jeves, Teacher Librarian (above left) for hosting me, and to her assistant Shirley Lowe, Librarian, between us. Emily and Shirley are both Dragons, and I’m a Rat, if you’re wondering about the toys we’re holding!
