School Day by Michelle

We have just finished our English UT. Hurray!! This week, we have done a lot of work and activities. For example, the Nov-Dec birthday party, UT, Miss Ho birthday, etc. Also, we have discovered something new that about our class.

First, let’s talk about the singing contest. We are still thinking about the dance of the Christmas songs. It is really a hard job as after we think of some step, we afraid that they are so silly and no one will do that; moreover, we afraid that we don’t have enough time to practice for the contest. However, I really appreciate the whole class for being very unity on dancing “We are all in this together”. Although it dance danced by us wasn’t so good, it is so great that we can all cooperate well. It seems that 3A are all in this together!

Next, let me talk about the new discovery about 3A. We found our new hobbies, playing basketball. Since girls were having a basketball PE lesson and we are interested about that, in 3A, most of the boys and girls are interested in it now. This is another sport that like by 3A except for the dodge ball.

Finally, I want to encourage 3A. We have finished our English UT, but the on next week, there are more challenges waiting for us. For the girl, good luck in the choral speaking competition. For the whole class, good luck in the Chinese and China Studies UT, also for the Christmas singing contest. After finish all these things, we can have our happy holiday.

The second B-day party

On the 8th of December, our class has done another birthday for the one who were birthday in November and December. Sharon, Michelle and I went early in the morning to take the birthday cake. Then after lunch, we went to find Mr. Cheng to get the snacks and prepare for the party. Later on, when all our classmates had come back, the party started! Everyone in class enjoy the food. Although only the one who was birth in the two months can have the cake, they still share the cake to their friends. Except having snacks, we also play games. It was really exciting to play games with our classmates and everyone enjoy it!





I think it was very good to have such activity with our classmates as we can know more with each others by having those activities. It was really hard for preparing for the party as we have to found a proper cake, buy the food, think about the games, drawing the birthday cards…etc. Although we also have lots of homework and tests in that time, it was really busy for us, but we still enjoy it as we can make our class become happier and have more happy memories. It is really happy to being with 3A.

The Christmas tree in 3A classroom by Ernest Wong

Christmas is coming, every people want to celebrate in this happy day, our class made a Christmas tree in our classroom, but there have a little problem with the Christmas tree. We keep the lights on the tree on when we were having the lesson, actually I think this is a kind of waste of electricity, the lights shining all the time and truly the lights made me watched for it for few times.

I suggest that we should keep thoughts lights off when we are having a lesson because it will make us not focus at the teacher. The Christmas tree is a decoration for the Christmas. We may turn it on when we are having lunch. We may put the present under the Christmas tree, it seems that it will be funny. We can open the present in front of the tree and take photos there.

I know that the girls decorated the Christmas tree for a long time, thank you for giving us a beautiful tree for Christmas celebration. I hope that in the party there will have some funny games for us to play with, after all it hope that day will come soon.

Christmas is coming! By Elizabeth Chan

            Christmas is coming!
            Everybody is preparing that thing! Do you know what “that thing” means? “That thing” means the SHOE-BOX. This is not a simple shoe-box. In the shoe-box, we can put the gift in it. And the gift will send to children in mainland China and other Asian countries ravaged by natural disasters or war. These shoe-boxes have been delivered by OCC (Operation Christmas Child). It brings joy and hope to underprivileged children around the world through a gift-filled shoe-box and a booklet telling the Good News of God’s love for mankind.
            I think this is a very good charity because some of the children around the world did not have any special things at Christmas. Every time I think of them, I will feel sad and I didn’t know how to help them. But now there is OCC and I can give the shoe-box to them. I hope these shoe-boxes can make them feel love and find hope in life again.
            Other than preparing the shoe-box, everyone is also preparing about the Christmas celebration such as what to eat, what to play and how to celebrate.
            Mr. Cheng has decided to play a Christmas song every day in the reading period.
            I want to ask that can we watch a Christmas movie next week in the English lesson (because I think that after the English UT, we will have much time).

Finally, I think that this Christmas is the most special!!!

Reflection of the English Lesson by Kenneth

 In the recent English Lesson, Mr. Cheng had introduced us a charity called the Operation of the Christmas Child which was first started at 1993. It aim is to brings out joy and hope to the underprivileged children around the world. As to gave out joy and hope, they have got out the idea of making a gift-filled shoe box which was decided by yourself. Inside the shoe box, it can be filled up with toys, clothes, accessory, stationary or books and a booklet which wants to tell the children there that God love everyone of them. It was now send over 77 millions of shoe boxes to 130 countries. As the purpose of the charity was so meaningful, Mr. Cheng had asked us to make two shoe boxes in each group which maybe one for boys and one for girls and gave the shoe boxes out to the charity.   
 My English group USA---- (Jack, Oscar, and Winson) had gone out to buy the present. It was quite a hard job as buying present for the people you are not familiar so not easy at all. Hope the other classmate can choose the suitable thing to the underprivileged children

Merry Christmas by Rachel Chan (2)

Although there are still 23 days left before the Christmas, me, Rachel still want to say a “Merry Christmas” to all 3A members first.
As I have said, the Christmas is coming very soon, some of our classmates worked very hard on decorating our 3A classroom in these few days.
Since the 3A classroom is the biggest classroom in LTPSS, it has much more places where give more opportunities for us to show our intelligence on designing and creating. In the past few days, many classmates in our class brought in their own decoration materials such as the Christmas tree and the light. Then they stayed after school and helped to decorate the room.
We worked together, and now we have nearly finished the decoration. Looking back to our classroom, especially the Christmas tree, they are really beautiful and gorgeous for me. The lights on the tree even make it to be more attractive. On the other side, the decorations of the rest of the classroom also look very smart. I can imagine how hard our classmates have paid on giving these things to 3A. I think they want to create the best memory for us.
I also know that the twentieth of December will be our Christmas celebration day again. I hope that we will have a great time at that moment J


The visit of the elderly by Jason Pang

Last Thursday was a special school day. We had the normal lessons in the morning and also after the lunchtime. Then we started our special life education lesson.

All form 3 student of Law Ting Pong Secondary School had to join the activity of the visit of elderly. We all need to help for the visit of elderly. We had prepared for this activity for a few weeks. We decided games for cheering the elderly up and we also prepared some little gifts for the elderly.

At that day, we were nervous for the visit. When the bell rang, we went down to the hall quickly. We sat in our groups and waited for the visit of elderly. Few minutes later, the door was opened and 30-40 elderly went in to the hall. The activity began.

First, student in other classes prepared some singing show for the elderly. As the songs they chose were some old songs, most elderly knew the song and tried to sing together with the students. Then, another class of students prepared a drama which was talking about some careless elderly. They received some calls that called by some crime. They usually said lies and said that the elderly’s families had some serious disease suddenly and needed a large amount of money for the fare of surgical operation. The careless elderly didn’t check whether the news was true or not and they just sent money to the bank account which was the crime’ account. Students prepared this drama to remind the elderly to be careful of phone criminal. It was meaningful.

Finally, it was our turn. My group decided to play a simple game with the elderly. The elderly just needed to guess what students were acting. It might be an animal or a tool. If the elderly guessed the answer rightly, they could get a present. Finally, all the elderly in your group got a present. They were satisfied.

I felt happy because it was a meaningful activity. We gave joy to the elderly and they were satisfied by our preparation. It’s a happy thing to share happiness with elderly. The elderly deserved joy as they worked hard for half of their whole life. They created lots of things for us in the previous day. We have such a day now because of their effort. I think this activity was also a way to thanks to them.

The reflection of English only day by Matthew

Two weeks ago, we started a new event that is English only day. English only day hold in every Wednesday.
In English only day, we can speak english only anywhere, anytime and anypeople. In our class, there is some English police to jot down the people who talk in Cantonese. And then, Mr. Cheng would give some penalty on those people. Also, there is a SPY which is very mysterious and appointed by Mr. Cheng. The job of the spy is to check the people who talk in Chinese jotted by the English police. Everyone were interested in the identity of the spy, but the spy can't tell out his/her identitiy, so we can't know.

On the first day of the English only day, we spoke English at first even we played basketball. But after awhile, we started to spoke Cantonese. So, many people jotted by the English police. Mr. Cheng punished them to wrote a composition. On the second day of the English only day, less people were jotted down.

I think the English only day can really help us to improve our English oral skills, but we need to behave ourselves to speak english proactively.

Proposed changes to English-only Day by Mr. Alan Cheng

After two weeks of trying out the English-only Day, the response has been generally positive and most students are able to maintain speaking English for the whole day.

However, I have found a need to make a few amendments, particularly because there seems to be no incentive to be a member of the English Police. So the following are the proposed changes for the English-only Day:

1. English Police who can speak English for the whole day for three times consecutively  can earn a basic lifeline - reduce the punishment to only 150 words. This lifeline can be used at any time during the year and is transferable to other members of the English Police.

2. English Police who can speak English for the whole day for five times consecutively can earn a special lifeline - cancel a punishment completely. This lifeline can be used at any time during the year and is transferable to other members of the English Police.

Please note: the punishment for any members of the English Police speaking non-English languages will remain double the normal punishment i.e. 1000 words.

This new policy will be implemented from 8/12/2010. Please give your opinions about the policy and any other suggestions you may have regarding the English-only Day. Your opinions and suggestions are most welcome. (Everyone must comment on this blog to say whether you agree with the proposed changes or not!!!) Also, if you are interested in becoming a member of the English Police, you are most welcome to.

Further, I would like to create an English-only Mascot to promote the English-only Day. The mascot should be cute and have something to do with speaking English. Use your creativity! Please send your entries to my eclass e-mail before Friday 3/12/2010. The winning entry will receive a basic lifeline and an appreciation slip.

Reflection of English only day by Terence Yip 3a 33

Although English was not our first language, our school tried to carry out the 'English only day' as a policy to improve our English.
Before this English only day, i felt a bit out of sorts on it as this was a first time that i had. However, i expected it would be a nice day that we can trained our speaking in English a lot.
  1. When the day was came, I chatted with my friends as usual. Although there was big difference in the style of speaking between Chinese and English, their meaings of message are the same. I didn't feel nervous in speaking English. If there were some words I didn't understand, i would ask my classmates for answer it. Studying English was not a easy thing as a piece of cake. We should be hard-working on it everyday. Don't just read English Book before the test or exam as begin to dig a well when feeling thirsty.
  2. Sometimes, I would speak Chinese as just a few word during that day unwittingly. One of the reason was we don't always speak English so that our English was not good enough.
  3. I think that if our school can carry on more policies as this, it will be much better in our English results.

Reflection on today lessons by Winson Wong

  In the science lesson, Mr. Dik gave out our science uniform test paper. It's good that we have two people got 49 marks for the uniform test. Only 1 mark left to get full marks! Most of us can pass, but we still have some students who just got fail. I hope next time we can all pass the test!
 After the lunch time, half of our class need to go down to the senior form hall assembly for performing the Chinese Choral Speaking for practicing the Speech festival in the coming month. We have put a lot of time of practicing it. I think that we have done a good job for today's performance. I hope we can use our heart to do this job and win some prizes back to give a present for our work.
 Then we went back to the classroom. Ms Chiu saw us drawing the blackboard crazy and made her feel angry. She told us to think on other's point of view. But the Chinese lesson still be a relax lesson although the unhappy thing happened.
  In the LED lesson, Mr. Cheng taught us about appreciate to others. We know that we have to appreciate other sincerely. Appreciating others can let them to have more motivation to do more good work.

The English only day by James Tang

  The English only day brought us so much fun rather than using foul language in Chinese because it was a new experience that there is no Chinese in a Chinese society. When we heard about it, we had said impossible but right now we can use our fluent English to talk with others work with others, even we used English to play together. It;s our strength, we need to hold it tght and let it shine.Although in the English day, we wouldn't talk too much but we still talk in English. I don'k know is there any studet that need to write the essay but I trust that the number of people must decrease because everyone started to speak in English and they don't want to do the essay.
   And I had one way to deal with English only day that is listening English song at the early morning then you keep sing the song you'll use the English. I don't konw why it works, but it's a really good way.The funniest part is during the lunch, we all want to speak in cantonese but we promised that we won't use Chinese. When the students were playing deal, they also used some weird English to instead of some Chinese special slang. While we were palying basketball, we always use the English too. I just teach them some specific word to use in the game. My teammate said something in Chinese but I still tell him to speak in English. It's a reall great experience.

The class uniform By Henry(27)


    There is a good news for us. Today, we can get back our class uniform. I wait for this for a long time. We discuss for it for a long time too. We wanted to wear this in our camp but we are late to order it. I think that we should order it earlier. It is because we pay 90 dollars for it and it is expensive. We should wear it more but we do not have too many chances to wear it. We cannot get the class clothes before the camp. We lose a chance. In the future, I think that we do not have too many chances too. I think that we may just have the Charismas party to wear it only so I think that it is unsuitable. We pay 90 dollars but we just wear it one or two times. I think that 90 dollars are expensive in this case. I think that we should be order a cheaper one. By the way, the class uniform are beautiful especially the logo. I know that someone spend many times for it so thanks for them. I like the class uniform very much and I hope that we can wear it more. Also have some happy moment in 3A.

A troublesome science test by Jack Lam 3A 25

    This morning, when I arrived school, I saw a thing that surprised me. The thing was no classmates playing basketball. Every morning, if you look at the basketball court, you will see James, Jason, Matthew, Winson, Christopher and Ernest are playing basketball. However, none of them did this today. Then I went into 3A classroom and saw that everybody was staying at their own seat. What were they doing? They were doing revision. For what? For science. Yes, we had a science test today. Luckily, we had this test after school so we still had much time to prepare. I didn’t know it was a uniform test or not but I knew that the test was quite important. The annoying test made every classmate worried for a whole day including me.
    In every lesson, we said the same thing to the teacher. `Do not have lesson today. Let us do the revision, please.’ It was what we said in every lesson. Luckily, Miss Hui and Miss Chiu really gave us about half-hour to do the revision.
    I hate test very much. It is not because test is difficult and important. It is because test will make me feel anxious for whole day and anxious is the most troublesome feeling.

Reflection of the Chinese choral speaking practice by Jason 3A28


  Every Tuesday and Friday, I need to practice for the Chinese choral speaking with some 3A students and 3B students. The organizers of the Chinese choral speaking practice are Ms. Chu and Mr. Chan. We need to go to practice on time. Otherwise, we will receive a misbehavior record slip. At first we will not receive the misbehavior record slip even if we are late. However, some students were late for the practice for so many times and Ms. Chu was mad about that. So, she said that if anyone were late for the choral speaking practice for 1 second, she will give a misbehavior record slip to him/her. After that, no one were late for the choral speaking practice. I think it is a shame that student will be on time only after they know that there will be a punishment if they are late. It is the duty of student to follow rules which was set by the teachers. I think student should be doing things on time even no one remind you. Being on time is a way to show respect to the thing or to the person. If anyone was late for the Chinese choral speaking practice, they must tell the teacher the reason why he/she was late. If there is no any even ridiculous reason, it means that the student didn’t respect the school and the teachers. I think the punishment should be more serious.
  
 In the other hand, it is a good news that there is less people late for the choral speaking practice. However, I think we are improving our skill of Chinese choral speaking with a slow rate. We could not do very well in every practice time as somebody were chatting all the time and laughing during we were practicing. I think we can be better in future.

Reflection of the experiential learning week by Jason 3A28

Last week is a very special week for every form 3 students in my school. It was a experiential learning week. There were so many activities which were held by the school.

We visited a fire station. A firefighter introduced some of the equipment which was commonly used by the firefighter. I tried to carry the equipment and I think they were quite heavy. The firefighter needed to carry some of the heavy equipment and ran to the place where there was a fire accident to save people in few minutes. I am impressed by the firefighter as they get great responsibility to save people in dangerous in a dangerous place. It is a very hard job and it is not a thing that everyone can do it.

The second day, we went to a camp. We needed to stay in the camp for two days. We had a lot of activities in those days. I was a group member of group A2. I was depressed as my group hadn’t won ay of those activities. Once we could break the highest record of the game-“2 people with 3 foot”. Unfortunately, we didn’t do well at the last time of playing this game. We couldn’t do very well in any competition. However, I learnt a lot of thing from the camping activity. I learnt that team work is very important. People need a lot of team work in our daily life. People have to cooperate well and communicate well to create a well team work. We should always tell others clear instructions to avoid having misunderstanding.

The school prepared a talk for us. The topic is anti-drugs. The talk is presented by drama form. I enjoyed watching the drama as the drama showed the terrible and also the real part of the society. I knew that drugs will lower people’s IQ after I joined the talk.

In conclusion, I enjoyed the learningful experiential learning week.

Feedback from the Performance Slip and Parents' Evening by Mr. Cheng

The parent's evening on Friday was a generally positive one. It was really good chatting to some of your parents and I was so impressed by their English (you guys should really learn from your parents!) However, the main talking point was of course about the performance slips issued by the school on this day.

Most of you should have seen your performance slip by now, and I think you would agree with me that there is certainly plenty of room for improvement. The school wanted to use these performance slips as a "wake-up call" for you all because it is much better to have this "surprise" now, rather than waiting until February when you actually get your interim-report cards. Now is the perfect time to look at yourselves and see where you need to do more work.

I'm sure all of you don't need reminding about the importance of this year's exam scores. I told you in September that you were all here because of your English results only! The problem is that the NSS subject selection is based on the average scores. Yet, you are still in the best position out of all classes to select the subjects you want to do. Your English level is definitely an advantage which you should make better use of.

You need to start to show us you care about your studies. Doing and handing in homework is the most basic responsibility of a student and you have to make sure this is done on-time every time. Like I said before, where possible, try to do homework on the day it's set so that you are not always chasing after deadlines. You control the deadlines, not the other way around!

We need to create a classroom environment where everyone is eager to study and give to the class. We really have no space for those who are going to just sit here, not contribute, or even worse destroy our class atmosphere. I know you all want to do well too. Your NSS subject selection will affect your whole life, and right now your futures are still in your own hands for you to shape. But it takes self-discipline to ensure that it doesn't suddenly slip out of your control. Keep reminding yourself this, find your motivation to learn and let's work hard together!

3A's First English-only Day (17/11/2010) by Mr. Cheng

17/11/2010 was certainly a day to celebrate for 3A! It was our first ever English-only day!!

As the name suggests, we were trying to speak only English for the whole day (including recess, lunch-time and even CCA periods!!) The aims were to:

1. create an English-speaking environment for the students.
2. make students think, speak and dream in English.
3. increase students' self-discipline in taking responsibility for their own studies.
4. unite the class.

Other than dreaming in English, I think all aims were achieved. Of course, I understood that it was a tough day for all the students, and it made it even worse that 10 students had to be punished for speaking Chinese. But I truly believe that this is a necessary step if students in 3A are to become more confident in speaking English.

The reaction from other people was fantastic. Our librarian, Mrs Kate Gale told me how happy she was to hear students speaking English to each other while they were lining up outside the library. She said that our class was a true role-model for all other classes. Other English teachers were also impressed by our English-only day and complemented the English level of our students. Finally, the best thing that I observed was that students from other classes also spoke English to our students (at least when I walked past).

Change is always painful at the start, but if we are strong enough to get through it, I am very sure that we will see some fabulous results. If we can all work towards this common goal, not only will our class be more united, but we will also improve our English together.

Look forward to the next English-only day!

My 3A days

I went to 3a for nearly 3 months but I think the class was quite fun, there are some group of this class, for example, the boys was in one group on have silly games; the girls were always eating lunch in the lunch time period, but it’s a bit weird for me i seems to be not in a single group , I am always the middle man that not with them at all, any way this is even an issue, but the most important thing was how ridiculous that the boy is. The boys is always fighting together and always breaking the board. And even it could be a bit too over, but as days goes by I have already been used to it and its great fun to see them fighting everyday and I don’t hope that they will get hurt in the future.

And the most unforgettable experience in 3A would be, in the experiential learning week, in that week 3A did comes together as once and the only thing that we could improve , was that we should be in the same line and the worse thing was that my group A2, because our group can’t win anything. I will tell you more next time.

Reflection of science lesson by Konnor Kwan(24)

Yesterday we had an interesting and exciting science lesson; it was a little bit different with other science lessons. Normally the teacher would just teach us the things in the book or other information. In yesterday lesson we did an experiment, but we were not just did the experiment in the book, what we did was to anatomy PIG’S HEART!!!!! For learning the information of pig heart, we just could see it in the science book, but yesterday we could see the entity of it!!!!!
At first, I thought that the pig’s heart was having big smell, bloody, etc. And I also thought that the process of dissecting the pig’s heart was very disgusting, so at first I didn’t really want to see it. However, later on, I felt that it was easier and it wasn’t very worse than I imagined (at list I could still have my lunch after that). We felt very exciting for dissecting the heart; we worked very hard for it with the group mates, and could see clearly of the things in the pig’s heart than the science book. We could learn more things in the pig’s heart and we could also experience the process of dissecting something.


Reflection of experiential learning week by Konnor Kwan(24)


Last week was the experiential learning week, we had did a lot if activity in the week and also went to camp for two day.
When we were in the camp every class had separated in to three groups. We did a lot of activities to get more point to win in the competition, so we all tried to work hard to hope to win in the camp.
While we were doing the activities I had knew something. I knew that sometimes we may not want to be one group with someone, we wanted to be a group with other friends. But actually we would lose if we were doing like that then we would not win. So when we were doing the activities we most accept others, to have a good communication with them and to finished the activities together, then we may finished it faster. When there were some time to prepare how we could finished the activities, we couldn’t just discussed by ourselves, sometimes we needed to know who had learnt something before which could use it at that time, so it would be more comfortable and easier to do the activities.
We would win if we had thought these problems before.

The reflection of camp by Matthew

Last week, we went to a camp in Tuesday. All the students were very excited about it. I also learnt a lot from it.

Our class was divided into three group, there were A1,A2 and A3. I was grouped into A3. We played a lot of group games and there was a competition between the groups, even the same class. It was because we want to win very much, so all our groupmates were paying a lot of effort in it. Although we lose at last, we got a lot of great results because we have tried our best. After the camp, I knew the importance of co-operation, we can get many achievements if we being united. Also, we need to hear or knowthe rules or guidelines carefully before we start doing something, we can make less mistakes in progress. Also, I learnt to give some useful strategies to solve some problems or do things, we can train our critical thinking and use the knowledge that learn from the class.

I think the camp is very learningful and meaningful, I hope we can go to camp again next year and the camp can be longer, and go to camp can learn something that we can't learn from the class, such as we can train our leadership, co-operation skills,etc.

The diary of 15th November,2010 by Matthew

Today is the first school day of this week, so I feel unwilling to go to school because I had a leisurable weekend. It was a cold day, so I bring my sweater to go to school.

When I go to school, I ran to the basketball court fastly and played basketball with my friends. This is the thing that I do every day, I want to train myself to be a awesome and powerful basketball player. It was a exciting game, we enjoyed it verymuch. When I went up to the classroom, I memorized that I forgot to do some of the peer interaction parts in the experiential week booklet. So, I finished it with my classmates as fast as I can, but I leave out one peer interaction part question because I didn't have enough time to do. In the Chinese lesson, we had a oral test, some of our classmates did were very funny, interesting and creative, like Terence and Toby. They made our class laughed crazily. After the oral test, we had a dictation, I thought the dictation was too difficult and long, I need to work more harder next time. In the reading perod, Mr.Cheng and Ms. Ho said that some classmates and I didn't finish the booklet, and they told us need to help in the PTA meeting day, I thought it can help me to increase my experience, so I am willing to responsible for it. In the end of the school day, I went to the Maths remedial class, I did the exercise and the student helper and Ms. Yeung helped me when I had some difficulties about the topic.

I think this week will be very busy, so I need to finish the works as fast as I can, so I can have free time to revise the subjects for the uniform test.

The Camp By Christopher Avery Kong

Last week, was our whole school's experiential learning week. We all get very exhausted and we just want to go back home instead of staying at the camp site. Although we want to go back home, we were participated in every activities.

In my group (A1), my peers always give out some useful ideas and these suggestions could help us to finished the target. I think we get a few things from this camp, but a few is better than less. We learnt how to cooperate via the camp physical activities like: high wall, push one person from the ground to the top of the wall, it is very difficult. But we all did it. It prove the team spirit could let some thing that seems impossible , to turn it to possible and make it come true.

This is what the spirit that 3A needs.

Experiential Learning Week By Elizabeth Chan

            This week we don’t need to have any lesson because our school had created an interactive and meaningful learning experience for us. We had pass through many activities which our school wants us to learning-by-doing and learning-through-reflection process. It also wants us to learn more about the development of real life skills.


Anti-Gambling Talk
           









Drama: Anti-Drugs



Visit Fire Station



Briefing on Camping
       In this week, we have enjoy many king of meaningful activities such as visit the fire station, a talk about gambling, a camp and a drama about drugs. I think the most unforgettable activities in the camp are climbing the high wall. We all helping and pushing the people to climb on the top of the small building. It was a hard work but the people are willing to try their best to help them to climb up to the top. When it is my turn to climb to the top, the people are pushing me up and I can climb to the top successfully. I never realize that I can climb to the top, until I really done it. Before I climb to the top, I was afraid that I will fall off and drop down but after I finish it, I think I was a bit silly. That is because people are around me and they are putting up their hands to avoid people fall off. After this activity, I have learned that to try to trust the people around you especially your teachers and classmates. And also I have learned that we should have a communication with our team member before we do things. That is a very important skill for us. It is because our team A1 uses this skill, so that we finally have won a second price!    
      Every time we finish a game in the camp, we talk about what we can improve and we put our hands together and said “SOOM” to cheer everyone up. I remembered that the people who train us said to us it is good to have our own language such as “SOOM”!
            Finally, I think this week is very meaningful and make me learn more knowledge.
