Tuesday was the first day in school. I arrived at Suzhou no 1 high school at 830am. Unbeknown to me the students had already been here for an hour in lessons! I had a tour of the school given by my first student guide, whose English name was Stefanie. The school looked like an beautiful holiday resort! I mean that it was full of balconies and beautiful stone buildings with Chinese garden rooftops that it shocked me that it was a high school. The school is undergoing some renovations and they plan to bulid a new canteens underground with a state of the art sports field above. The library is brand new with cafe style seating indoor and out.
The modern mixed with the classic architecture of the buildings is very charming and has a vey welcoming feel with a true sense of belonging for the students.
The lessons I observed today included English where I shared the LSA school video and all the school information that our students worked on.
