What We Have Learnt Today

Dear all,

Sorry to keep you waiting. The kids took turns to do their reflections and there're only 2 computers here, so we took a long time to complete. Some of them posted their reflections yesterday and requested to take a break. :)

From MalPang:
I have enjoyed myself today. I learnt some new Chinese words during the Chinese lesson. Tomorrow, I have to perform on stage. How are you at home?

From Jam.S:
During maths lesson, the teacher showed us some guess-and-check questions. She also told us another way to do the question. After that lesson, we had Chinese lesson. The teacher talked about the beauty of Africa. We had to list out the describing words. I will tell you more when I go back home.

From Rachel:
The art lesson in the school was very fun as we learnt how to draw 山水画. The teacher explained everything about this topic just for us. After the art lesson, we exchanged class and went on to their music room. The room was very different from us because it didn't have any air-conditioner and instead of sitting on the floor, the students sat on chairs. The computer lesson was also very interesting as we did a lot of work about the 四川 earthquake. I saw alot of art-work done by the students and they were very nice.

From Felicia:
When I first went to the school, they all welcomed us, I was so......shy and I hated it. We went to the basketball court as they used as a parade ground. They sang their National Song. Their standing position was so different from us - they need to salute using their right hand. Then we went to the 第二会议室 at the second floor. We were the VIPs. The buddies and the Putian School teachers came to interact with us. The teachers gave us the time-table for today's lesson. I was appointed to be in 五（二）班 when some of us went in I am so shy the teacher ask the class to clap for us we are ask to say our Chinese names then the buddy will us ask to sit beside them. My buddy was pretty, gentle, kind, loyal, friendly and look hard-working she is the monitress of the class. The first lesson is mathematics very interesting all in Chinese very easy .Our activity is to do maths guess and check for the question the give us. For the first question I can't really solved but then when the explained the method for the 假设法. I have never learnt but maybe next year for the second question I can really solve less then 1 minute. Don't worry about me.

I had fun in the Putian School as I had learnt many things and I knew how to play the games during the PE lesson.I have made a lot of friends.

From I.Hong: Papa and Mama, don't worry about me. It is very fun here! The school was very weird, as my buddies keep hugging me .YUCK! I kept running around the school. I played ping pong with them today. We were like VIPs and need not queue up.Students played against us and a lot of them lost the game to me and Kian Heng (my friend.) So don't worry about me as it is funhere. Bye Bye.

From Van:
I had a lot of fun in the school today as I met many interesting class-mates in the class. They sometimes joked with me. There were many fun things and the class is quite big. One of the boys helped me to draw a snake. It was nice but SMALL (so sad). I hope that if there is a chance i would one to be like them, able to draw mouse , cow, rooster, dragon, sheep for me haha !! SOOOOOO FUN!!!

From JH:
I had a fun day at the school though the time was so short . I like the 队课because it teaches me how to thank the person by using a powerpoint. I was shocked by the China boy and girl dancing gracefully. I also did the 剪纸. I did a pig-shaped 剪纸. I really enjoyed this TRIP! If there is another chance to go to China again, I would to come here AGAIN!!!
