Shandong Twinning Programme

The students at Li Cheng Er Zhong were very disciplined. When we first arrived, they were doing their routine morning exercise as a whole school, the daily morning run at 10 a.m. They did it so well that we thought it was part of the warm welcome. They ran by coningents, a class of 70 pupils, all at the same pace, neatly and closly packed one behind another. Chai Chee-ians were so impressed, they wanted to try as well, but of course, with our own Singaporean style of running. They tried to run in a neat manner, but after a while, our boys started to complain that the girls run too slowly. Where is the unity and team spirit??? Perhaps that is something our students lack. I think the morning exercise is good as it refreshes the mind, and enables the brain to learn better in class. Doing exercise in the cooling weather is a also a luxury which we will never have back here in the humid Singapore.
