Dear Mrs Yeo, How have you been? Are you feeling better? During your absence from school, many events have occurred. One of them would be in shanghai- exchange buddies twinning program. Three shanghai students came to our class to experience the school life in Singapore secondary schools. During lesson time, the shanghai students listened attentively to our teachers teaching. An advantage of them being here would be that they would be able to help us out in our Chinese. It was very interesting to have a chat with them.
Also, we had an enjoyable CIP. The secondary fours were visiting the houses of the old folks to clean up and put up decorations for them. I was with Benjyamin’s and Wenhao’s group. We bought some food for them and presented in a hamper.
When we arrived at the elderly’s house, we found out that it has only a living room, where we found out that it has only a living room, where everything is squeezed in that room. That elderly person speaks dialect, Hokkien to be exact, and I couldn’t understand a word. Wenhao was the only one who could speak dialect, thus he did the communication and translated for us. The lady then said that she does not want her house to be cleaned, thus we only put up the decorations for her and had a little chat with her about her life and how she spent her time at home.
Soon after, we reported back to school. We waited for the rest of the teams to report back and reflected on our CIP. All the teachers and students, including me, had a great time doing this CIP as we all thought it was special to dedicate a full day to CIP.
Hope you have a speedy recovery and join the school back. I wish you a happy Chinese New Year. Regards, Wai Leong
