Dear parents,
The internet connectivity is very slow. Hence, the teachers will try our best to have Eliasians post their daily responses, but this may not be possible every day. Here are some photos - enjoy! We will update whenever we can. As seen from the faces of your children, they are coping and adapting very well - no worries :)

  1. 经过一天的旅程,我们终于到达了西安,来到了西师附小,它位于西安中心城区的南部,是一个有一百年历史的小学.进入这个学校,满眼是古色古香的建筑,充满了人文气息.而在学校外面就是西安最具文化气息的碑林街.我相信这一趟来对了。

  3. 大家都能感受到中国小伙伴们的热情吧!希望伊莱雅园的学生别像那寒冷的天气般冷冰冰。伸出你的友谊之手,主动结识多一些中国小朋友吧!

  9. 看到老师及同学们照片上灿烂的笑容及部落格里的留言,能够感受到大家在这次旅途中一定获益良多。
    叶子姐姐是一位很有耐心,经验丰富的导游。她的讲解非常清楚,同学们必须专心聆听,积极发问,将对西安的历史文化有更深一层的认识。
    大家的歌唱表演节目准备得怎样啦?歌词记好了吗?动作熟悉了吗?表演时要脸带笑容,可别苦着脸呀!
    大家好好照顾自己,多吃、多穿、多喝水:)

    I am indeed very glad to be part of 2009 Twinning Programme in Xian. More than that, we have build a strong bonding with Elisians along the day. May all the learning and friendship stay forever.

    Till we meet again,
    take care

  12. Didn't know that I'm so good at opening water bottles. I have become the official 'mineral water bottle opener'in this trip. 'Business'is really good! Well, it shows that our pupils are drinking lots of water:)

    Our student representative gave a speech in Mandarin during the assembly and the XISHI FUXIAO teachers complimented her for her excellent performance. I'm really proud of her.

  13. 昨天早上,学生们参加了西师附小的升旗礼,见识了中国学生整队时的自律。在他们启动的校园诗歌节的朗诵活动中,我们的学生深切体会到了他们的爱国激情。这激发了我们学生的爱国情感。
    昨天下午,学生们跟随中国朋友穿过学校不远处的古城墙,来到位于城墙根旁的公园,一起跳绳,一起踢毽子,其乐融融。
    今天早上,他们上了华乐欣赏课。除了欣赏二胡、琵琶、古筝的演奏外,还认识了新的乐器——葫芦丝。
    今天下午,学生们就会两个两个去中国朋友的家体验生活了,他们又紧张又开心。我相信这一活动,会让学生们感受到中国学生的真正生活,让他们获益良多。

  14. 听到师长赞扬同学们在旅途中的表现良好,让在新加坡的父母及老师都感到非常欣慰。
    今天是同学们在西师附小的最后一天了,希望大家珍惜这短暂的相聚,互道珍重再见,并真诚地感谢西师附小师长们的殷勤招待。
    希望这不是永久的离别,回国后应尽量与伙伴们保持联系,友谊才能长存。
