Happy New Year!

On December 29, Dung Xin Elementary School celebrated the end of the year with its annual concert and class performances. Students and their teachers worked together to put on a great show!

You can view the afternoon class performances at our English blog or at our Dung Xin Youtube channel.

AEP Musical "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf"

This Saturday, December 26, our AEP (Advanced English Program) students will end their year with a celebratory performance of "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf -- A Howlingly Hilarious Musical."

Adapted from the works of famed children's author, Roald Dahl, this delightful musical combines the music, performance, art and English language skills that our students have studied every Saturday morning for most of this year.

The show will conclude the end of a year long effort by students and teachers from across the Keelung elementary school system.

Please see the Chinese text below for your invitation to this one performance only.

Strategy and Tactics

Students met for the last chess club session this week. This term, Alex taught the basics of the game: setup and initial positions, names of the chess pieces, their movements and relative values and an understanding of check and checkmate.

The students were surprised and disappointed it was the last session for this year, but look forward to meeting again in the new semester. In February, we will study good opening moves, learn when it's okay to sacrifice material (chess pieces) in order to win the endgame, and learn how to avoid draws or stalemates.
