Being able to attend school at Cottesloe Primary has helped us understand how school life is like in Australia. Healthy food such as fruits and vegetables was prepared by the parents for us today as the school does not have a school canteen like schools in Singapore. What an experience it is for us, taking packed lunches from home to school.
Today, the year 5 pupils participated in a cheerleading programme conducted by Gymnastics Western Australia. It was an exhilarating experience for all of us as none of us had done that before. We were surprised how fun and enjoyable cheerleading could be.
Later in the day, we played a friendly match with year 5 pupils of Cottesloe Primary.
The match started with the National Anthem of Singapore and Australia being played on the Public Address system. It was solemn moment for all of us as we stood at attention singing our National Anthem. After the netball game, tokens of appreciation were presented by both schools and we took a photograph together before bidding farewell to one another.
We visited King's park later in the day and found the trip be a meaningful one. The scenery was simply breathtaking as we were able to have a panoramic of the Swan River. We found out from our guide that King's park was not only set up for enjoyment but also for scientific research to prevent native plants in Australia from becoming extinct and also as memorial park dedicated to the men and women who sacrificed their lives during the war.
Tomorrow, we will be starting netball training and will be watching the Spring Netball Carnival. Do keep a lookout for more updates in the next few days.
