3 of us have been spending our nights going through our pupils' reflections. Miss Hing especially has been burning the midnight oil to amend and type out the reflections so that we can post them on the blog. Hope her panda eyes recover when we go back next week. I think she 's going to lose weight in this trip (don't need to go to Marie france, haha!).
Guess me and Mr Ho are more sportive. We have established a very good bonding with teachers here through ball games like basketball and badminton. But i prefer to play with pupils (due to my standard, hehe...). I had a basketball game with our pupils yesterday. Wah, Glenn Tan was very swift in his action, Chang Kwan kept grabbing the ball from me...
Millions of thanks to Miss Xiao Wei. She has been of great help to us all this while in blog construction and maintainence. Really, we are lucky to have such colleague who's willing to spend time for extra work during holiday. Thanks Xiao Wei!

I think all our hard work and effort put into preparing for the performance paid off quite well. Generally, I would say that we enjoyed it. Hooray! The games were interesting. My cute little P4, nine-year-old friend was there too. We have arranged a time for her to write an autograph for me tomorrow. Daddy, Mummy, Spottie and so on…, I will be back in four days’ time. Yippee!!!

Today, our English lesson was conducted by a new American teacher. He is more handsome than Mr Ho. We used our English textbooks for the first time. There were comics in the books. I raised my hands to read the dialogue aloud. The teacher was surprised. He praised me and said that I was very brave. I really love English class.

Today was an exciting and embarrassing day for me! There was a special performance. Luo Meng, Glenn, Brendan and I had to do a presentation on Singapore (culture, costumes, food and places of interest) to the Shimen students. Then, we sang ‘Top of the World’ and ‘Rasa Sayang’. I had to scream as the other students’ voices were not as loud. After that, Jie Sheng, Brendan, Glenn and I performed Wushu. I made a mistake when turning. It was embarrassing. That was indeed a memorable experience.

We had a special performance put up by us as well as the Shimen students today. We sang two songs, ‘Top of the World’ and ‘Rasa Sayang’. We also put up a Malay dance item. It was quite messy though but I just laughed it out. J I enjoyed the Latin Dance put up by Shimen students most.

Despite being nervous, I did wushu for the performance. It was extremely enjoyable. I wish I would experience something like that again.
Brendan
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I had a lesson on Chinese history and literature. I have learnt some good phrases from a Tang poem (from Tang dynasty).

Yahoo!!! The performance was over! What a relief! Even though I miss my parents, I do not wish to go back. I mean I do not want to leave my buddy here in China. I will miss her always.

The Chinese Painting lesson was fun! We drew bamboo and birds. I saw my previous painting on the display board. The teacher added another goldfish and water to it. Boohoo… no plants! But it is still very beautiful. We rehearsed our performance items (Malay dance and songs) for tomorrow’s special event. It was certainly fun. We made mistakes but we soon solved it. I miss Spottie (my dog) , Mummy and Daddy…

I went for Chinese Painting today and it was fun. I saw my fish painting on the display board and I was happy.

I had PE lesson today. The Chinese students are generally healthier and stronger as compared to us. When we ran, they were so fast. Sigh! I was the last one.

I am back to school today. I feel very sad and want to cry. :-(
I miss my buddy’s parents. I want to play with her younger sister again.

The seahorse soup that I drank was very sweet and fishy. It looked funny. I tried to drink without smelling the soup.
Jing Chao

I went to Guangzhou for a tour today. It is about Chinese History and I like History. I took photographs of all the ancient antiques. They were so interesting and they must have cost a fortune! Wow! How I wish the curator will share more.
Jia Jun
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Today, I visited a museum and learnt a lot about Chinese history and culture. After that, we went shopping for an hour. It was quite a rush. Guess what? While shopping, we saw a little boy peeing in public. It was quite embarrassing.
Farhanah
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was fun learning about China in the museum. Most things were made of wood. How I love the woody smell! There is one special thing I learnt about the gigantic door. We are not supposed to step on the wooden platform at the doorway as this is disrespectful to the two Chinese Gods guarding it. This is interesting!
Dong Ho
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I love shopping! One hour is not enough. I'm going to ask my teacher to extend the shopping duration and take us to a place where we can bargain.
Farkhanda
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Today, the tour was amazing! Even though I did not bring a camera, I managed to draw the things that were nice in my sketchbook. As you know, I like to draw. When we went shopping, I bought something for my sister. After that, Miss Hing bought us ice cream. Cool! But when our teammates, the girls, kept shopping, we boys almost died. Hmmm… why do girls like shopping?
