Yet Another Eventful Day... Smiile!
Dear all,
(Lesson time)
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.
The whole set of today's photos can be found at

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.

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!

A Snippet of our Performance
Dear Parents,
Here's a treat for you - a short performance by the kids. They sang confidently although they had only rehearsed a few times. They were simply a delightful bunch and the audience liked their singing.
Today's pictures (and the video-clip) can be found at

Tomorrow, we'll be attending lessons at Putian School again before going to Fuqing Xishan School. We will be travelling to Xiamen in the evening and checking into another hotel late again. So if you do not hear from us, do not be alarmed.
I am not sure if we will be able to get any internet access there - I will ask and if it is not too late (or you see me online).
At Xiamen, we'll be visiting places of interests and of course, the book-shop. (The kids' luggages are already so full that I doubt they can squeeze in anymore things.)
Anyway, enjoy the pictures.
Regards,

Busy Day
Dear Parents,
Today is going to be a really busy and long day for the pupils. We have to visit the two schools and perform wushu and singing for them. We will also be visiting a media (newscasting) station before returning for another sumptuous dinner in a revolving restaurant (at the top floor of this hotel). The kids will certainly be tired.
Tomorrow afternoon, we will be setting off to Xishan to visit a school there.
So, we will try to let the kids pack and rest well tonight. If you need to communicate via webcam, we hope that the conversation will be kept brief. Otherwise, we will just post the day's pictures here for your viewing pleasure and keepsake.
Thanks,
Mdm Lim JL

What We Have Learnt Today
Dear all,
-------------------------------------------
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.
-------------------------------------------
From A.P.S.Y:
Although the weather was bad, I had a wonderful time. Today we went to a school and looked at how the China students study, they will very smart.
-------------------------------------------
From AZ : Erm … the two days in Putian is fun. Today I made friends with five buddies. The food is quite nice. Tomorrow we are going to perform soo… excited and nervous [LOL]BB!!!!!!!!
From TKH:
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.
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 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!!!

Answers to some Queries
Dear all,
Our apologies for not being able to answer through the chatbox. Apparently, some activeX controls are blocked by the hotel here, so we can only read your comments. Keep posting anyway.
I'll get the remaining pupils to make a post tonight - so sorry about that. It was getting close to bedtime by the time each of them posted and we just had to let them sleep early.
Arix's Mummy, I will check his handphone and ask him to switch it on today.
Malcolm's Daddy, Malcolm is certainly having so much fun... and he is learning to take care of himself. He comes to me for assistance when he needs. I will get him to make a post tonight, too.
Arix's Male Cousin, sorry, but we can't bring chewing gum into Singapore... :)
Yincai's Mummy, your girl is obedient, so not to worry. I will ask her to switch on her handphone too.
The kids will be attending lessons in the morning and will have some shopping time in the afternoon today. I am sure they will be very very excited.
We will post again tonight.
