Hylia Chan (aged 11), St Paul’s Co-educational College Primary School

If I could choose a song to replace my school song, I would not replace it with another existing song. Instead, I would hold a school-wide song creation contest and ask the students to submit their ideas for a new song, focusing on our school motto, “Faith, Hope and Love”.

I would combine some good ideas to create a new school song. Doing so can give students a new intimacy with it. It might also improve the tune, as children often have better and more creative ideas than adults do.

Charlotte Chan Hei-lui (aged 9), Kowloon Rhenish School

My best pet friend, Nosy, is a 17-year-old long-haired Chihuahua. Nosy got her name because she sniffed everywhere and was curious about almost everything! She has two big sparkling eyes, a small nose and a tongue that always sticks out from her mouth.

Nosy is as old as an 86-year-old human. She walks very slowly now and sometimes has difficulty standing up.

But she eats quickly! When you give her food, she will crunch loudly and flick her tail vigorously to say “thank you”.

Nosy is very important to me because she can bring me much joy, comfort and fun.

Thyler Ng (aged 9), Spanish School of Hong Kong

During football training, I was pushed down by another player, and my left hand hit the ground. The coach saw that I was in too much pain and asked my mother to take me to the hospital.

So we went to the emergency room of a nearby hospital. The doctor looked at my X-ray report and asked me to stay in the hospital for treatment.

I was sad and scared, but luckily, my mother was by my side.

I must keep my body strong, pay attention to my diet and exercise properly to avoid injuries because I don’t want to stay in the hospital again.
