Our 2nd day at Beitou Elementary School

Today, Group B comprising Nevin, Andre, Gordon, Jesse, Kester, Mark, William and Wei He will bring you our update from the Beitou classroom.


In our natural science class, we observe that when the Taiwanese pupils see insects, they will catch them and give to the Science teacher. The teacher will then go on to teach the class about that particular insect. Perhaps by giving the insects to the teacher, it will be able to live longer as well?


We also had IT lesson in the computer laboratory. We created some powerpoint slides and we used traditional chinese characters in the process. On one hand, we think that using traditional chinese characters is very fun but on the other, we also think that they are difficult to write. We wonder why they learn chinese using traditional chinese characters while we use simplified chinese characters. We will find out the answer tomorrow.


Some of our highlights today include:

Making our own clay figurines

Visiting 中正纪念堂

Enjoying our sumptuous buffet dinner, yummy!
