To create a more engaging and healthy intellectual playground for children during the summer, Xa Luong Commune (Tuong Duong) has flexibly organized many activities, including free English lessons integrated into summer activities.
For nearly two months, every Tuesday and Thursday, students from all villages in Xa Luong Commune, Tuong Duong District, have been gathering at the Cua Rao 1 campus of Xa Luong Primary School for integrated summer activities and English lessons.

It not only helps students consolidate their knowledge but also provides them with a healthy and useful playground, contributing to a comfortable mindset to start the new school year. Accompanying the students over the past time, I feel very happy as they are very hardworking and enthusiastic in learning, and the local authorities are very supportive.” Photo: Dinh Tuan“Compared to regular school hours, this class has more time, so I often divide the students into small groups and organize many activities like games and themed drawings. This helps students become more confident in communication, and develop speaking and presentation skills,” Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai added.

Ms. Lo Thi Tra My, Chairwoman of the People's Committee of Xa Luong Commune, said: “Xa Luong has many rivers and streams, posing a high risk of drowning. From this reality, at the beginning of the summer, the commune's leaders instructed various local departments and organizations to organize many activities during the summer to provide a healthy playground for children, thereby preventing accidents and injuries, especially drowning. This activity has attracted a large number of students and has received parental support.” Photo: Dinh Tuan
