Our journey - has it ended or just begun?
Can you remember why we wanted to visit Putian (and Xiamen) in the very first place?
The objectives of internationalization are:
1)to create the International Awareness of the pupils,
2)to enable the pupils to be more cultural savvy, and
3)to reinforce the rootedness of the pupil as a Singaporean.
How has this trip helped you to achieve the objectives above?
What strengths (good points) have you learnt from the Putian pupils?
Compare some aspects of the culture between Singapore and Putian/Xiamen.
How do you feel now as a Singaporean? Are you proud to be a Singaporean? Why?
Please take a well-deserved break and remember to get the following tasks completed:
1. Evaluation form for the Putian Trip (distributed at the airport)
2. Individual Project on Putian Trip
- You may choose any of the following topics to talk about.
- You can present in English or Chinese.
- You may choose to present via PowerPoint or Photo-Story.

- School-life in Putian - Putian Experimental School & Fuqing Xishan School
- Cultural Similarities / Differences between Putian & Singapore
- Places of Interests in Putian / Xiamen
(Refer to http://hws-putian.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html for the places we visited.) - How you have learnt to appreciate Singapore more
Deadline of Project : 1st week of Term 3
Please submit your project (email or in thumbdrive or cd) to your group's Teacher-in-charge.
You will get to share your learning expericence with the rest of the school when it re-opens.

From 陈老师，
也许旅程已经结束了，也许我人生的另一个旅程正悄悄开始呢！
第一次以老师的身份带着同学们四处游历，所要照顾的事可真不少，所要注意的细节还真小呢，但是值得感谢的是，同组的两位妈妈级的伙伴所体现出来富有母爱的行为，使我深深体会到老师们如何做到爱学生就如爱自己的孩子般。这也让我想起汶川地震的一篇新闻报道：地震时，老师紧紧地抱着学生，学生因此死里逃生，老师却再也不说话了。
爱，可以很简单，哪怕是一句话或一个微不足道的动作。
From Mdm Lim JL,
Yes, I agree with what 陈老师 has said. It has only been a week but I found myself loving the kids more that I had thought possible. The feeling of "missing them" was difficult to describe.
I can relate to that 四川地震 article about the teacher who died. It REALLY touched me. The pupils in that presented the 队课 with immense emotions.
