Siyanqi Primary School

Ni Hao Room 25

Mrs Singh visited Siyanqi Primary School today and met some of the students who came to CPDS. She taught them 'Tutira Mai' and how to make a poi. The class size is similar to our class but only 1 teacher. Students sit in rows. They do not have iPads or Chrome books in class.

 

Silk Factory

Ni Hao Room 25.
On Monday Mrs Singh visited one of the oldest silk factories. Here are some photos and video clips of the silk worms, and how the thread is processed. Can you find out the life cycle of a silk worm?

What bush is this?

Clue: Silk Worm Food

This is a photo of our bus driver. Which side of the bus is the driver's seat? Have a look at the road. Do you notice anything different?

Here's another clue.

Santang Street

Ni Hao Room 25. 

Last night Mrs Singh visited Santang Street. Traditionally it was famous for its canals. Now there are many small stalls selling touristy stuff. 

What caught her interest was this 3 wheeled vehicle. I approached the driver and he explained that it was a taxi for the elderly so that the aged could also enjoy life.

Mrs Singh got a chance to sit behind the wheel. Look at the wheel. It has bicycle handles. It is powered by electricity. Do you think we could introduce this vehicle in NZ? Why or Why not?

Suzhou Garden - Shanghai

Kia Ora tamariki. 

Mrs Singh reached Shanghai today. Her first stop was Suzhou. It is famous for its garden. 

This is Suzhou Garden. 

Look at the photos and see if you can identify some geometrical patterns.

Flying to China

Kia Ora Tamariki,
I am on my way to China. I am at the airport, waiting for the plane. I am with other teachers from other Auckland schools. Will be boarding the plane in a few minutes.
