IT'S THE FIFTH DAY SINCE WE HAD BEEN IN CHINA!
And on that day, we went to
JINLING MIDDLE SCHOOL!
Which will be the full day immersion in Jinling!
But before that, we went to have our delicious breakfast at
Xing Zhi Primary School.
Then we took the bus to
Jinling Middle School!
Upon our arrival there, the teachers brought us to their stadium and we saw the students there all running to the stadium for their morning exercise.
Their lines are so straight and neat that we were amazed!
They do this every morning to have their exercise routine in the field.
On the spectators' seats.
Jinling Middle School's students. Amazingly, a straight line could also be seen diagonally!
STRAIGHTTTTTTTTT!
We were very impressed by them as every single one of them did the exercise which not every Singaporean student would do.
After the exercise, we walked to a building where the representative of every class came to pick us up and lead us to their classes.
Queueing up and waiting for our turns.
Going to their classes.
Jinling's students in their class.
DOING THE
EYE EXERCISE!
Here, the school and teachers are very concerned about the student's health and eye sight problem.
Hence, at a time in the day, music will be played and the students will do the eye exercise.
Then the monitor of the day will check on the students if they are doing it.
This school is also very big!
Compared to our school, this is so much bigger!
There are a lot of buildings here.
And every building, there is a different purpose of using it.
There are buildings for learning music, doing art, having physical education, etc etc.
Like this, this is the building for learning music!
Another building!
The plant.
During the lessons
Students having their break.
Every period is 50 minutes here!
And after every period, they will have a 10 minute break.
Which is different from our school, as our lessons are half an hour per period.
And there is
NO break at all!!!!!!
However, due to this reason, school ends at a later time.
Besides the duration of period, and the eye exercise, their tables are also different from us.
(Please view from below)
They had a big space to put their books and they had also a place to put their bags in.
And then....
FINALLY, recess!!
Laylin's eating!
After filling up our stomachs.
It was time to see some physics experiment.
Before that, the Physics teacher asked us if we know what is Physics (物理).
At first we did not know the answer, but Benjamin said something that means "以物讲理"
We all thought that he's just joking.
However, it is really the answer.
物理, 物理, 以物讲理
After explaining to us, we start to see the experiments in Jinling.
And most of the experiments are created by the teachers here.
This experiment here shown on the picture above and below are actually using the wind.
First you had to use a wheel and turn the wheel very hard, after that, you slant the wheel horizontallly and you will move on the chair which can turn around.
The direction you are moving is the opposite direction of the wind.
As the wind is very strong, it will create the force of turning you around!
Alvin's trying out this experiment.
Roxanne was also trying out the experiment.
Haha! Due the her weight, she moves faster than Alvin.
Another experiment!
Jacinta trying out this experiment!
The instrument without strings? haha!
The teacher who is explaining the experiment to us.
The light experiment.
Optical Illusion.
After the experiments on this room, we went to another room which had all the experiments that are made by the teachers.
Experiments~~ This is the kaleidoscope.
