Day 7

Our Pupils' Reflections

" Today is the last day in Beijing! We must wake up at 6.30 a.m. So tired... We went to take trishaw! I sat with Mrs Tan. It was a bumpy ride! We took the trishaw to a place where we made dumplings. After that, we went to the airpot and we were on our way back to Singapore!
Yay! In this trip, I learnt how to make dumpling and be on my own. I wish I will have this trip again." ~ Celine Go (2K)

"Today, we took a trishaw to Prince Mansion. Wow! The garden was so big!). Then we took a ride to a home where we took our lunch and make dumplings. Those who needed to go to the toilet took a trishaw ride there and back! We are all in the airplane now. I learnt to make dumplings and a lot of Chinese culture. I wish we could stay longer. I feel very happy! I love this place!" ~ Yang Jia Yee (3I)

"I enjoyed sitting on the plane, going to each other's room and watching the national team train. I like the the trishaw ride. The person who rode us to places was very kind. I sat with Jasmine as usual. I also liked to make the dumpling. I learnt the Chinese tradition (It was more interesting than I thought.)" ~ Faith Zeng

"I enjoyed the trip as it was a lot of fun. I got to make many friends and buy a lot of souvenirs too. I learnt to pay attention and stand straight when the teacher is talking. I had a lot of fun at Beijing." ~ Megan Tan

"On this trip, I learnt how to wrap the Beijing roasted duck, make dumplings and blow bubble gum. I also learnt more about Chinese history through visiting museums, palaces etc. I enjoyed the trishaw ride in Hutong, lunching at a local family, shopping and climbing the Great Wall of China. I even climbed all the way to the top! I also got to know the NYPS gymnasts better." ~ Yang Sin Yee (5K)

"On Sunday, we went to the Great Wall of China. I almost couldn't believe I climbed right to the top! I could see a wonderful scenery! It was very windy at the top of the mountain. Next, we went fruit plucking. I plucked 7 juicy peaches. There were a lot of peaches on the ground and a few bees flying (very scary). We learnt how to make dumplings at one of the houses. What an exciting trip!" ~ Chui Ying Qi
