Our visit to Sawyers Valley Primary School - By Liang Yan and Jessica

After a long ride on the bus, we finally reached Sawyers Valley Primary School. We attended a lesson together with the 9 - 10 years old. We started by giving a presentation on Singapore and our school. After the presentation, the teacher, Mrs Lucy Blair, taught us about Aboriginal Art and together with our friends from Sawyer Valley, we made our own Didgeridoo (Rain Stick). We were very excited as we learnt symbols of Aboriginal Art. We drew them on our sticks!

It was recess at 10.30am and our buddies took us to the under covered area. There were no benches and tables so we sat on the floor to eat our snacks. The pupils had their own snacks packed. There was no canteen unlike Clementi Primary School. All lunch and snacks are packed by their parents in the morning before they come to school Our buddies then took us for a tour around the school. We played the sport, Cricket in the oval (field). Some of us played at the playground during the 20 minute recess. Their school had playgrounds but our school doesn't. =(

After recess, we went back to the classroom. We gave our buddies a little token which we prepared. The pupils were very happy. Their teachers also gave us a little koala and a flag as souvenirs. To end our day at Sawyer Valley Primary school, we took a group photo. We had a great time there!
