Timothy Lam Yik-him (aged 10), Lutheran Tsang Shing Siu Leun School

At my school’s Sports Day, I watched the competitive runners with great interest. I was hoping to join the 60-metre race, but I did not pass the tryouts.

Even so, it was exciting to watch my friends, Micah and Ivan, run very fast and to see another friend win a gold medal. I am so happy for them!

Isha Dnynesh Khairnar (aged 9), Kowloon Junior School

I think students should have a three-day weekend because we work really hard. We learn all day, and we need to have a break.

We need to spend time with our fantastic, loving families.

Another reason is that students are really tired at the end of the school week! If we had a three-day weekend, we would not be so tired and would be more creative.

Finally, students need to get some exercise. At school, we only sit around and learn stuff.

If we had a three-day weekend, we could spend time with our loving families and friends, take a nice long break and get some exercise.

Hannah Ip (aged 10), Hong Kong Baptist University Affiliated School Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School

I would like to share my thoughts on a few different things.

My favourite animal is the penguin because they are so cute and fluffy.

Hong Kong is facing the problem of climate change, and I hope we can solve it.

My favourite book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid because it is super funny. I really like reading.

I love the Harry Potter films because Harry is very brave.
