Nov 2


Time flies. This is the last day of school in J B Petit.



Since today is dress-as-you-like day, everyone in school dressed casually mostly in shirt and jeans and a few in Indian clothes. Similar to our school, during the dress as you like day, students are not allowed to wear spaghetti straps or short pants.


We followed the timetable for the first 3 lessons as usual. We had double Chemistry for the first two lessons in which we had the "flame test" on different metal compounds which include potassium, copper, sodium and calcium compounds. Since I had learnt and performed this test last year, I was familiar with the procedures of the test and had no difficulty in performing it


For the fieldtrip, we went to the Janism temple. it was quite cool to me as I haven't been in a temple like this before. It had some Indian sculptures of the gods which Indians believe and its architecture was beautiful and unique. We learnt a lot of India's religion from the temple.

After lunch, we had an Indian dance workshop. We were taught with classic and bollywood dances. Since both are Indian dances, their styles are pretty much the same. The steps are not hard to learn as they are quite similar, but with different variations. We basically followed what the teacher did. It was exciting and fun for us who had never learnt Indian dances before.


Finally afterschool, we did some mandis on our hands. They are tattoos which have mostly spiral patterns.
