Riaan Darshit Jhaveri (aged 10), Kowloon Junior School

Cricket is incredibly popular around the world and especially in India. To understand cricket, here are some of the basic rules.

Batters score by hitting the ball and running between the wickets, or by hitting the ball to the boundary. A bowler must stay behind the line when delivering the ball. If they overstep, it is a penalty.

A batter can be dismissed in several ways. One way is by being bowled, which occurs when the ball hits the wickets. Another way is to be caught, which occurs when a fielder catches the ball before it touches the ground. A batter can also be run out if the fielding team hits the wickets while the batter is running.

Cricket is an exciting game of strategy and skill. There is nothing else like it.

Thyler Ng (aged 11), Spanish School of Hong Kong

I participated in a Home Storage and Manage Your Finance Workshop held by the Po Leung Kuk Life Planning & Financial Education Centre.

We learned that storage is not only for “reasonable things”. It is also the starting point of financial management.

Space is a resource, and clutter is a waste of time and money. Besides, tidying up and cleaning are common responsibilities for the whole family. They cultivate participation skills and good habits.

Also, good storage can save time and money and reduce pressure.

Carrie Wong Ka-yuet (aged 8), Po Leung Kuk Camoes Tan Siu Lin Primary School

I joined my school’s symphony orchestra.

Every Monday and Wednesday, I have to practise for two hours. When we are halfway through training, we have a 10-minute break.

Even though it is a bit tiring, I think it is fun. Last time we had a competition, we performed “Rites of Tamburo”.

We got the bronze award. I hope we can do better next time.
