YUM!!!!!!!!!!!

5th November- That morning, we went downstairs to have a breakfast buffet before

proceeding to Jin Xin Primary School. At the entrance of the school, we could see that the school compound was enormous! There was even a playground there! After the welcome speech by the students and the principal of the school, we toured round the school. They really had lots of facilities in the school!

Then, we were divided into groups and we proceeded to different classes. Some students went to have P.E, others to have Maths or Chinese lessons. As for May and I, we attended their arts lesson where they taught us how to create a symmetrical drawing. We found it very surprising to see the students being so active during lessons: at least half of the class would raise their hands whenever the teacher asked a question! I also realised that during discussions, the students were allowed to talk as loudly as they wanted to! They were very attentive and seemed very eager to learn more.

After the lessons, we went for lunch. We could not buy our own food like in Singapore. I feel very lucky that our school sells a variety of food instead of serving a standard meal. However, I feel that the students there would have a balanced meal instead of eating only their favourite food. After feeding our stomach, we had a water boat competition. We had a wonderful time playing with the boats. Someone actually sank the remote-controlled boat! We then proceed to make rockets. It was very exciting! Initially, we had a tough time trying to understand the instructor’s words but fortunately, our buddy (from China) was patient and demonstrated the steps to us slowly. It was a really thrilling experience making our own rockets!




May's thoughts:

When I woke up in the morning, I felt a really sharp pain in my stomach's right area. It was so painful that I can't even get up from my bed... We went to Jinxin Primary today... there were young students welcoming us... so cute...






I attended art lessons, They taught us how to form symmetric pictures using paint:). B.T.W they learn playing remote controlled boats we got a chance to try it too... it was so fun!
