BBC Bitesize Primary
Description
This website is suitable for Key Stage 2 students in Hong Kong in terms of topic covered and level of difficulty of language items. Different types of activities can be found on this website. The colourful and interactive animations can facilitate learning on screen. Commentary feedback is provided after the answer is submitted.
How we can use this website
We can use this website to assess our normal teaching since its activities match well with Hong Kong English KS2 curriculum. For example, the section "Factual writing: instructions" aligns with Primary 4 Instruction writing. The focus is how to write steps. The online task requires students to choose a task and write instructions on how to do it. While choosing the options, students need to exercise their critical thinking to judge which option is the most suitable one. It is an effective way for introduction or recap of instructions.
Pros and cons
We find this website good for introducting text types, grammar points and consolidation. The website can inspire learners to explore grammatical rules. This website mainly focuses on reading and writing, but not speaking or listening.

Thanks for updating this - it would be very useful to know whether you think that for the activities you suggest, the teacher needs to book the MMLC in advance, or whether they just need a single computer with projector, or what kind of technical setup? Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your comment. I think both cases are workable. If there's enough time, it'll be good to book the MMLC and let the kids do the tasks by themselves. In this way, every child will have a chance to participant. However, some teachers may find it awful to teach in a computer lab. So using a single computer with a projector will be an alternative.
