Our Fun Activities in the Third Day

Today we all woke up at 5 a.m. and went to bathroom. When it was exactly 6 a.m., we went down to the lobby. Some kids tried to get a snack from the vending machine, but sadly when the kids tried it was broken, they only got the change, but no snack. Luckily there was another vending machine and it worked. We were happy again. A few minutes later the teacher gave us some food and wanted us to line up to the bus.

We arrived at school and were starving! Well, the school has a pretty cool cafeteria and it’s cool. We ate our breakfast at school, and it’s very delicious. We had some rice and chicken for our breakfast and we enjoyed it.

When we finished our breakfast, we went to wait for our buddies to pick us up. Sadly, some of our buddies forgot to pick us up and some of us went up by ourselves. We started our first activity which is a morning devotion. We started different classes and learned many new things.

Around 10.00 – 11.00 a.m., the teachers called us to the auditorium for a meeting. In the auditorium, we learnt how to play the Chinese traditional drum and it’s really fun for all of us! We all learned the Chinese traditional drum lesson by hands. We loved the lesson so much and we were sad to end it. We went to the library feeling tired after the drum lesson. We cleared our mind by reading books and novels. Some students borrowed books too and some just read. We really enjoy ourselves at the library feeling cozy and calm.

After the activity, it is break time. Our break time usually around 10.45 a.m. We all went down with our buddies and bought some food. The food was really delicious. After break, we felt full and walked up many stairs to our class. We felt really tired, but happy. We learned different classes and materials. After that, we went to go to NEWater. We were very excited to go to NEWater. We all lined up and went inside the bus quietly and quickly.

At NEWater, we learned how dirty water can be filtered into clean water. There were five steps to filtered the water. First, we have to freeze the water, it’s called coagulation. Then we do flocculation. Flocculation is the gentle mixing of the water to form larger.  The 3rd step is sedimentation. Sedimentation is one of the steps water treatment plants use to separate out solids from the water. After we did sedimentation, there is next step called filtration. The clear water on top is filtered to separate additional solids from the water. The last step is disinfection. We did disinfection after the 4th steps. So, after the water is filtered, the water treatment can add a chemical to kill the virus.

As soon when we were done at the NeWater we got to the bus. The driver brought us in to Changi airport. We got down to a mall and went to Jewel. We saw a beautiful waterfall that was from the roof to the bottom. We all gathered to take some pictures. Then we went to a place that called Irvins. They had snacks from salted egg and noodles. The kids wanted a sample, then the workers asked to sat on the floor. They explained about the story of the shop. Then after they have done explaining, they let us tried more samples and scanned barcode.

Finally, after finished all of our activities, we went to have dinner. We ate chicken rice at Sing Sweet Kee, it was so delicious. We were just not eating chicken rice, we also ate a lot of other foods; like sweet and sour fish and Vietnamese spring roll. After finished dinner, we came back to the hotel.

We arrived at the hotel and gathered to write the journal. Then we went to our rooms. We hope that we can have fun again tomorrow. Thank you for today and wait for our next story. God bless.
