Kit Sam Canadian Summer Immersion Program 2017

Today was our last school day. In the lesson, we continued writing short stories. We shared our own ideas and I appreciated all of our amazing stories. After lesson, we practiced American football. It was different from the football in Hong Kong. We separated into 4 groups and the coaches were so patient to teach us the skills. At the end, we had a mini-competition and we were excited. In the evening, we had a graduation dinner. All host families brought their food to share with us. Our host family made salad. It was yummy that it all went out. I hope I can keep in touch with the people I met here, including friends and teachers. By Carrie

Today our lesson was finished earlier because this was swimming day! I got excited. After a 45-minute drive, we arrived at Pike Lake, which was one of the national lakes in Saskatchewan. Instead of swimming in the lake, we swam in the swimming pool nearby. There was a large slide. I was excited that the slide was tall and fast. Although I could not swim well, I played the slide several times. In the evening, Mandy and Carrie invited us to have supper with their host family. After then, we visited a book shop. It was large and beautiful. By Kaory

Today was hot. After the class, we went to Centre Mall to shopping and watched a movie. I bought lots of souvenirs for my parents, relatives and friends. Then, we could choose one of the three movies, and I finally chose an animation movie called Captain Underpants. Some kids found it funny and laughed out throughout the movie. The movie had no subtitles so sometimes I could not understand what the characters said. But I could guess from the story line. After then, our host mom drove us home. Before going back home, we sent postcards and bought food for suppers. By Alice

Today I woke up late and forgot to prepare my lunchbox, so we had lunch at canteen. We ordered Chinese dishes and wondered the taste of the good. The food was not as delicious as we expected, but still it was a good experience to see the food culture here. After lesson, we had glow bowling. We have never tried glow bowling before in Hong Kong. It was really fun. The bowling ball was relatively smaller than the ones in Hong Kong. And they were painted as planets! With strong pop music and sparkling light effects, we enjoyed playing the game. By Carrie

In the morning, we had Great Canadian Breakfast in Kinsmen Park. Mr Larson's father prepared pancakes, breakfast sausage and watermelon for breakfast. We met host families of our classmates. After then, we separated into 5 teams and competed. Finally, the team of Ho Ying and Carrie won. They could choose the prizes first, from ball,Canada national flag and stationary. In the afternoon, our host family took us to Weir. It was amazing place with beautiful view. Later, we went to Mid-town Plaza for supper. By Adrian

It was a cloudy day. We woke up at 7am and went to school. In the class, teachers asked us to finish story-writing. After lunch, we learnt more about Dream Catcher. It is believed that Dream Catcher could catch nightmares and take away negative feelings. My classmates found it difficult to make Dream Catcher. As I learnt before in Hong Kong, I made it in a short time. Then, we visited Western Development Museum, which showed the old times of Saskatoon. There were different scenes and we took lots of photos. At night, host family took us to shopping mall and bought us some food. We made cookies after back home. It was yummy! By Jenna Grace

Today, we had class from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. as usual. Then after class, we went go-karting. First, we needed to wear a helmet. Then, we lined up and listened to instructions from the staff before we rode the go-karts. I was scared at first but was really excited later. In my first round, I was disappointed that I chose the slowest go-kart. Luckily, I got on the fastest go-cart in the second round, and I drove fast. It was quite fun to drive a go-kart. I definitely would ride the go-karts again in Hong Kong! By Ho Ying

Today we were the earliest students who came to school. During the lunchtime, we had pizza and blueberries. After the class, we had double activities. We chose wall-climbing. It was too challenging that I could not climb up to the top. I was so tired as it was an exhausting exercise.  After wall-climbing, we played baseball while waiting for Hip-Hop dance. It was exciting and fun that I played twice. I ran as fast as I could. Then, we had Hip-Hop dance. It was my first time to dance Hip-Hop. It was so difficult for me that I barely followed the steps, but still, I enjoyed it.  Today I had a great day and I am looking forward to having Go-carts tomorrow.  By Alice

As usual, we had lessons in the morning. We had a debate competition today, with the motion, 'Is it good to have zoo?'. We gave a number of arguments to support our stance.  In the afternoon, we went to Saskatoon Forestry Farm Zoo. I saw a lot of animals that could not be found in Hong Kong. I was interested in an owl that could make its neck a 270 ° turn. It was amazing. We took many photos there. When we went back home, host grandparents came to visit us. We had pizza and cucumber for dinner. By Valerie

17th July 2017 Today is my first day to go to University of Saskatchewan. I felt excited when I arrived the school. I want to know more the overseas education. When the class started, I was nervous. My class teacher was Miss Wist. She was so nice and friendly. We introduced ourselves and discussed the cultural differences between Hong Kong and Canada. During lunch break, we had the sandwiches that we made yesterday. The taste was good. At 1pm, we came to the class and started writing. The topic was 'What were you feeling the day after you left Hong Kong?'. We learnt many vocabularies. After then, we had an university tour to see places and facilities. I hope that I can enter university after secondary graduation. After we came back home, Jyl asked us about our school life today and made us dinner. That's it for today. By Kaory
