Mivaan Shah (aged 9), Kowloon Junior School

My favourite subject in school is maths because I believe it is an essential life skill. I have loved doing maths since I was four years old. Engaging with maths helps me develop my mind, and I enjoy practising it anytime and anywhere.

My favourite creatures are tigers, lions, sharks, eagles and wolves. My favourite colours are blue, orange, yellow and red. I love Lego, art and reading.

One thing I would change about Hong Kong is to increase the amount of nature and add tons of greenery.

Jack Yuen Chun-kit (aged 9), Creative Primary School

Last summer, my mum and I went to Singapore. It was a wonderful experience, and I hope to go there again. On the first day, my mum and I went to a museum. Then, we went on a bus tour.

The next day, we went to a famous park called River Wonders. We saw animals like monkeys, hippos and elephants. We also tried a bicycle where it calculates your speed.

That night, we went on a night safari. We saw lions, hyenas, anteaters and eagles. We also visited several other parks, such as Cloud Forest and Flower Dome.

Elle Bonifacio (aged 9), Kowloon Junior School

Crochet was invented in the 1500s. Mademoiselle Riego de la Branchardiere is generally credited with the invention of Irish crochet, publishing the first book of patterns in 1846.

People normally crochet at home or take lessons. Crochet is a needlework technique that utilises a single hooked tool to connect loops of yarn, producing a delicate and intricate fabric.

Crochet patterns are more intricate than knitting patterns because they use just one tool with more stitches.
