Here's a summary of today's events:
(Lesson time)
We attended lessons at the Putian School this morning. P.E. was especially fun. Our pupils tried skipping together with their buddies from Putian School. Some of them had lessons in Chinese Painting.
While the pupils attended lessons, the teachers had some time to interact further with the teachers from the school. We exchanged information about our education systems in both countries and shared with them how we motivate pupils to read English and Chinese books.
When it was time to leave, the pupils from Putian showered us with their warm wishes and farewell gifts.
Our pupils were like SUPERSTARS! They had so many fans and spent time signing “autographs” and exchanging contact details.
Even the teachers from both schools had become friends over the four days of interaction. 
Look! Our friends from Putian sending us off.
Wow! What a harvest! We only prepared keychains for them but received such huge presents in return. How are we going to bring them back home?
The girls from both schools met again along the road and those from Putian School were still sobbing because we were leaving them. They gave one another one last hug. We really really had to leave. It was such a touching moment for all of us.
Mummies and Daddies, please do not get angry. We had our lunch at DICO’s fastfood restaurant today. We had been having meals at Chinese restaurants for the past four days and we thought that it would be refreshing for the pupils to try something different today.As you can see, each and every one enjoyed his/her meal to the last morsel.
At the Xishan Wushu School, Jarret was invited to perform his Wu Duan Nan Quan for the audience, comprising pupils and trainers of the school and pupils from Poi Ching Primary School. Wow! Our future Jet Li of Singapore!
An exchange of tokens between the two aspiring Wushu experts.
At last, we have reached Xiamen. The kids have had a long day and all ready to rest for the night.
Tomorrow is the day for sight-seeing and we're looking forward to visit the bookshop.
Keep in touch!

From 陈老师，
同学们正和其他同学一块上课的同时，我们三位老师正与莆田第一实验小学的校长们一起视学“队课”。今天队课的内容是与地震有关的。这四十分钟的队课气氛十分沉重，同学们都带着悲伤的表情，就像是在为遇难者默哀似的。同学们分享的与地震灾区有关的故事深深地打动了我，顿时，我泪流满面。我不敢望向另两位老师，只因我不好意思。没想到，坐在我旁边的戴副校长，正擦着不经意流下的眼泪。
如果同学们也有机会参加这次的队课，我想你们一定能够深深体会老师们当时的心情、实小同学们的心情和地震灾区灾民们的心情。
