Last week we had our first Move-a-thon. Together as a community we completed the following number of laps and distance covered:

PreK, K1, K2, G11, G12 = 478 laps = 119.5 km

Grade 1 -4 – 1409 laps = 352.25 km

Grade 5 – 10 – 1292 laps = 518 km

This means as a school we covered 989.75 km, this is more than three times the distance between Nanjing and Shanghai, and further than the distance between Nanjing and Seoul, South Korea.

An excellent job by everyone and now we have a record to try and beat next year.

Overheard in the cafeteria queue…

Nora (Student 1): Did you here this year’s production is Shakespeare?

Dora (Student 2): You’re joking! Why would they do that to us? There’s no way I’m going to that!

Flora (Student 3): Me neither. No-one except teachers understands Shakespeare.

Fauna (Student 4): What’s Shakespeare?

Mr.Hammond: It’s actually very funny.

Nora: Did you hear something?

Dora: Nah, it was just a teacher noise. Ignore it.

Mr.Hammond: It’s a comedy!

Flora: Hmmm… But it’s the only production we have this year. Maybe we should go…

Fauna: What’s Shakespeare?

Nora: But I only like musicals.

Mr.Hammond: There’s a song in it!

Nora: I keep hearing a teacher noise. It’s so annoying!

Dora: Yeah, it’s lunchtime and this is a teacher-free zone!

Flora: Hmmm… The productions here are always totally amazing. Maybe we should go…

Mr.Hammond: The set is fantastic, the decorations are magical, the acting is superb…

Dora: There’s that noise again. Some weird buzzing…

Mr.Hammond: The play is hilarious, a joke a minute, laughs for everyone…

Nora: Yeah, like a mosquito. I don’t understand a word it says…

Flora: Hmmm… It would be a great night out, and it’s only 30 RMB. Maybe we should go…

Fauna: What’s Shakespeare?!
