Resources
Providing quality learning resources for families is one of the goals of the Jockey Club's "CoolPlay" Project. Well-designed learning resources can not only enhance children's learning motivation but also extend learning beyond the classroom, paving the way for lifelong learning.
Parent Zone
The selected families of 20 partner schools get the Parent Guide of JumpStarter and two stories in Chinese and English regularly. The suggested activities are designed to be carried out by children working with parents, guardians or other appropriate adults. The original Cowey stories provide children with a meaningful context to think further, explore further and do further.

Little Science Diary
Observation and recording are both important scientific skills. Recording allows children to perceive changes in things more clearly and compare experimental results with their predictions, thereby improving their scientific inquiry abilities (Wheatley et al., 2016)。
We encourage parents and children to engage in scientific observation and recording. During this process, writing and drawing notes can stimulate children's curiosity, leading them to ask questions, think, explain, and further explore the things around them. Furthermore, scientific exploration provides children with a meaningful context, encouraging them to record their observations through writing and drawing; therefore, "Little Science Diaries" can promote the development of children's literacy skills.
