毅勤小学华文部致力于落实教育部母语课程的三大目标，即在发展学生听、说、读、写、口语互动和书面互动等语言能力的同时，兼顾人文素养和通用能力的培养。我们希望通过开展多元化的教学活动，以及举办一系列与华族语言文化相关的活动，鼓励孩子在生活中使用华文，让他们亲近华族文化，实现“乐学善用”的教学理念。

The Mother Tongue Department (Chinese Language) seeks to realise the key goals of Mother Tongue language syllabus, that is to develop in our pupils the 4 basic language skills, spoken and written interaction skills, as well as the 21st century competencies through a variety of classroom activities. In addition, pupils will also be given exposure to Chinese culture and values through various level and school-wide programmes so as to better understand and appreciate the culture. Ultimately, we hope our pupils will experience joy in learning Chinese and use the language confidently in everyday lives.

母语双周 Mother Tongue Fortnight

通过母语双周活动，学生接触了脸谱艺术，了解脸谱的历史和各种脸谱颜色的含义。之后学生以小组形式，根据想像制作脸谱作品，并在班上展示与介绍小组的集体创作。此外，学生也通过有趣的语文游戏，加深对字词的认识，体验了与同学一起破解语文谜题的快乐。在母语双周期间，校方举办了大型绘本导读活动。在老师的引领下，学生带着好奇心走入精彩的故事世界里，享受阅读过程中的喜悦。

During Mother Tongue Fortnight, pupils learned about the origin of Chinese Opera mask and the significance of colours used on the masks. They applied the new knowledge in designing their own Chinese Opera masks and presented their artwork in class. Apart from this, pupils also played word games designed by teachers. Mass reading was one of the many activities planned for Mother Tongue Fortnight as well so as to promote reading and cultivate reading habit in our pupils.

传统节日的庆祝 Celebration of Traditional Festivals

传统节日是华族文化的重要部分，我校每年都会举办农历新年大型庆祝会，去年则举办了中秋节庆祝晚会，让老师、学生和家长齐聚一堂一起庆祝节日。节日的庆祝让华族和外族学生对华族文化有所认识，有助于促进各族交流与了解，此外也让家长与孩子有机会一起参加节日庆祝活动，贴近孩子的学习生活。

Traditional festivals form an important part of Chinese culture, the main festivals celebrated in our school are Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn festival. Teachers, pupils and parents come together to celebrate both festivals which provide opportunities for Chinese and non-Chinese pupils to understand Chinese culture and for parents and children to bond over festive celebrations in school.
