Home - Day 6 (5 Sep 08)

Hi all,
We are checking out of the hotel and heading for the airport today.
We had 5 memorable days of our lives in Chennai, India. It was an extraordinary time which provided us with an once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our most unforgettable and humbling moment would be our interaction with students from the Corporation Primary School - the school which we, together with students from The Gateway School, had helped to set up a library corner.
Though our trip has come to an end, the fond memories of this trip will definitely be constantly refreshed with our sharing of them with families and friends for years to come.

See you all at Changi Airport,
Anderson Primary Live from Chennai, India!

Great Days of Learning - Day 4 (3 Sep 08) - Part 2

Dear mummy, daddy & all at home,
We had a fun-filled day today. We could have never gotten this kind of experience from any textbook or classroom lesson. Do you know the host family brought one of my friends for kite-flying and that was actually the first time he had ever flown a kite in his life! I am sure all my friends, like me, will remember this once-in-a lifetime experience forever.
There's so much to tell you when I am back in Singapore. Till then, thank you so much for sending me to Chennai, India :)
Love,
your previous little one

Second Day @ Gateway

Today morning, we learnt Marshal Arts at Gateway school। It was very fun! We first had to greet the teacher by saying “Oish Sensei!” This means “Yes Teacher!”. We learnt head block, low block, side hit and punch! We put every move into one “dance”.
