During the personal growth class on September the 2nd, grade 5 students of the Pudong campus had a team building activity called “We Are Connected”. Everyone chose to draw a picture or write a paragraph to introduce themselves. Students got to know different sides of each other’s personality through pictures and words which set a promising start for the new school year. After that, every student randomly picked the name of a classmate and thought about something nice about that student. Everyone then sat in a circle, shared their kind words, and passed a string ball toward the classmates they had picked. This way, each student was connected by the string and the kindness of their fellow classmates. The students greatly enjoyed the activity.
