Guess where I was last week? Beijing!
We (grade 7) all went away last week on a trip to Chiang Mai (thailand) or Beijing (where I went) and it was quite fun. Throughout the week we did a variety of different activities all around the city and even out of it. A notable thing we did was probably hiking on the great wall, camping and visiting place like the forbidden city and the temple of heaven. I got to use my chinese language skills quite a lot on this trip so I think it was useful for me. Also I met a lot of new people and made new friends which is nice. A lot of the people on the trip, I didn’t know very well and now I feel a lot closer to the other small group of students that went. It was really fun to get to know new people in the grade.
Two attributes I think I showed on this trip are principled and balanced. I think I was principled because during the trip we had quite a lot of free time and we had to keep mature in public places. I feel as if I handled this quite well and that’s why I felt I did a good job. Also balanced as I feel I showed a range of skills during the trip. We not only looked at sights, walked around and learnt but I think I did pretty well at hiking and the other outdoors-y activities which makes me think I was rather balanced.
Here is a few pictures of our trip taken by moi:
