Day 7 (Part 1): Back in School! Yeah!

After an exciting weekend, we set off for school with much enthusiasm! We had a very special lesson, Theatre in Education, which was a little like our Performing Arts lesson, BUT....it was a very different experience as we had the lesson with our friends from Step-by-Step School! Some of the activities were very new to us and we found ourselves enjoying the lesson very much! The teachers enjoyed it as much as we did too!

Wriggling our toes as a cool down activity before more excitement~

There was also another activity where different actions were assigned to different numbers, e.g. 1 means touch the wall, 2 means laugh out loud, 3 means come into a circle etc. We learned to listen and follow the instructions.

Another activity allowed every one of us to have a chance to be a leader. When it was our turn, everyone had to follow the leader's dance moves to the music! Some of us were shy, but the teacher encouraged us and helped us along. :)

This is a video of this activity:

After that, we had a chance to partner with our friends from Step-by-Step School and share about ourselves. Here are some photos~

After school ended, we had our usual snack before heading back to the guest house, to get ready for a tea party!

Day 6: Sports Day & Lunch at Sonu Mdm's House

Today, we had a Sports event in Step By Step School. Parents of pupils and pupils who came to Singapore Chaoyang School in 2011 were present as well. We took part in 3 different events, the kick cricket, ball game, and soccer. After that, we had pizza and juice for snack time. Then, we were given medals for our enthusiastic participation. We had a good time and felt proud of ourselves.

Then, we left school for Sonu Mdm's house for lunch. We started with  delicious popcorn and lotus stem. Then, we had, rice, noodles, and soup. We were watching the movie Ra-one when the song Chamak Chalo played. Jasper and Ming Hui started to groove to the music~~

Then, we went shopping, had dinner at KFC, and went home!

Till we post again! =)

Day 5: Delhi Tour

Woohoo! Today is an outing day!  Our first stop was Qutub Minar. A few teachers from Step By Step school also went with us to explain the history of the tower and ruins there. There was a very tall tower, with different design at each level. There were also some ancient ruins, and an iron rod, that has not rusted since more than 2000 years ago! Here are some of the pictures we took.

Next, we went to a nice huge grass patch to relax and colour the pictures in the lovely booklet prepared by teachers from Step By Step School. We felt so cool and relaxed as you can see from our faces! :P

Then, we proceeded for lunch at McDonald's, which is near the parliament house area. As the bus was not able to stop near the McDonald's, we had to drop off at a distance away and walk through the crowd to the McDonald's. We held each other's hands tightly! Each one of us held on to one teacher's hand. We made our way through, walked close together, just like how we were in Little India! It was a truly exciting experiencefor all of us, including the staff!

The Delhi tour continued on our bus journey home. We saw the Presidential House, Central Railway Station, India Gate, and the Central Bank.

That marked the end of Day 5. More to come~~ :)
