I am very honored to be selected for this Weiyu Winter Camp. The reason that I sign up for this I am really interested in IB since I heard that IB is a program which educates people as a whole. It is not only limited to the cultivation of academic performance, but also focuses on students’ abilities, and their ambitions. I’m aiming to learn some useful knowledge and experience the IB program to see if I really like it. Today is the first day. I’ve had a well-lived day, and really enjoyed it.
Our next challenge was Chemistry class. We did three experiments in the lab. As I study in a public school, I rarely have chances to go to the lab for experiments. So that Chemistry class was full of interests and fun for me. From this experience, I gained the ability to work with other classmates.
The first day of my life in IBDP was excellent. My teachers are all seasoned specialists. Our form master, Jennifer, is obviously a gregarious and extroverted person.
And actually I like astronomy the most. Our teacher is perhaps a great astronomer. She taught us about the lunar eclipse, solar eclipse, transit of Venus and so on. However, I was deeply surprised by the astronomy. Fore example, the Jupiter’s position at different time can even show us the speed of light, and the asteroid occultation can tell people the shape, size, trajectory of asteroid, which is very difficult to detect directly. What a kind of amazing course it is!

For the first day I have learnt a lot. The teaching method is very natural. It is not only for using English to teach the class but also it isn’t conventional and let us have the group work or make us to have group activities.

In addition, Ms. Zhu’s topic on traditional Chinese china technology development history is so interesting and it let us know that there was once 青瓷,白瓷 and then transferred into 青花,彩瓷 and so on. I am so excited to see them tomorrow in the Shanghai Museum. Hope that I will have a good night today.

The supervisor of our dormitory is really nice and kind. After she heard my lamp was broken, she took me a new one immediately. She also told me with some important precautions and notices with specific details, which makes me feel the special caring from her.
After our mentor gives us some guidance about the new school, I gradually form a basic structure about how the school educates their students with their own special teaching experience and also the IBer spirits.
An enriched always makes people feel tired rather than wasting times. Now I need to go to sleep in order to replenish my energy to welcome the second day! ^_^
