Pupils show their green thumbs
←
About 400 pots of vegetables including carrots, lettuces, cauliflowers, tomatoes and squashes - carefully nurtured by primary school pupils will be on display for three days from Tuesday (January 17).
A prize-giving ceremony and exhibition for the 1994-95 Primary School Children Vegetable Growing (in pots) Competition will be held at the Hong Kong Teachers' Centre, 4 Pak Fuk Road, North Point, at 2.30 pm on Tuesday.
This year, 110 primary schools took part in the competition.
The competition is jointly organised by the Education Department and the Agriculture and Fisheries Department and is sponsored by Choi Hing Lee Seed Company Limited.
The growing of vegetables is an educational activity, not only providing opportunities for children to study the growing of plants through observation and practice, but also awakening their concern for the beautifying of their environment.
Attention News Editors:
You are invited to send representatives to cover the prize-giving ceremony, to be officiated by agricultural officer Mr Edward Lok at the Hong Kong Teachers' Centre, 4 Pak Fuk Road, North Point, Hong Kong, at 2.30 pm on Tuesday (January 17).
