This morning we had Mathematical Logic lesson. We learnt about the golden ratio and the equation for it. We can apply this ratio in our daily lives, such as the logo design of Apple. We also had some activities linked to isometry, which are reflection, translation and rotation. During the lesson, we found that maths can be solved in various ways, which can be interesting. We tried to solve the problems in group and we exchanged ideas and inspired each other. This has been a really fun experience and we enjoyed a lot.


After lunch we had the environmental science lesson. We focused mainly on climate change. The professor first introduced what is climate, and how climate affects our daily lives. We also learned about the causes of climate change. Then we had some activities. We performed an experiment to show the effects of carbon dioxide on rise in temperature. Although we were not too successful, we discussed about the reasons and learned from failure. We also did some discussion and interpretation in groups and presented them. Besides learning the knowledge of environmental science, we also practised on our skills of communication. We all benefited a lot.

After dinner, we went to the French House for the Global Solution Project. We discussed about the global issues with groupmates from different coutries. Everyone was full of creativity and flowing with wonderful ideas. We made up the history of our island which is a fascinating story. For our individual parts, we made use of the knowledge learnt in the lesson today as well which was about  solutions to climate change. The most unforgettable thing is definitely working with those lovely groupmates. We were pleased with our progress today.

July 13th Melanie Ip Janet Lee Dorothy Ma Christine Lum   We attended a visual design class with Bill Scott and together created a get well soon card for our friend. Rather than copying the pictures directly from the internet, we were encouraged to be imaginative. We modified our original drawings of animals and stuck it onto the card. Furthermore, we were instructed to use pen instead of pencils. We learnt that making mistakes is a part of life and we should not be intimidated by this fact. After, we played a game where we rearranged letters, from an original word and made different words from it, sone in different languages. We also had neuroscience after that and we learnt more about that subject as most of us didnt have any idea of what it is. We also learnt many interesting topics regarding neuroscience and we were all intrigued. After classes we prepared for multicultural night. The event was really fun as we got to learn about the cultures and history of a few diff...

July 16th Melanie Ip Greta Lam Janet Lee Christine Lum Dorothy Ma We went on a field trip to San Francisco Bay Area where we spent most of our day. First we took a 2 hour bus tour around the city. During the tour we got to see the whole city of San Francisco and listened to the brief history of the city told by the tour guide. The Golden Gate Bridge was also a highlight of the bus tour. The wind was exceptionally strong and we can rarely experience it anywhere else. We also took a few photos before we continued our trip. We also had two hours of free time after the bus tour, so that we could walk around Fisherman's Wharf. We had a great lunch of seafood, soup and bread and it was delicious. There was also a large number of shops in the Fisherman's Wharf. Since we had some time left we shopped around and bought some souvenirs. Another great thing that we had the chance to see sea lions. We rarely see them in hk except in ocean park and it was a great exoerience for us...

Today is such a special Wednesday! We had a field trip with packed activities. In the morning, we played iFly, a memorable experience with professional instruct. After that, we even learned some physics principles to give a detailed explanation of our flight. We really took a lot from such exciting and unforgettable activity which we could never have back in Hong Kong! After lunch, we had a talk on the administration of Standford University and we learned about the detailed information for application of the university. The Stanford University is such a beautiful place, we really hope that we can continue our study there. In the evening, we had a bonfire. The sunset was magical, we had loads and loads of pictures there. It has been a pity that we did not get ourselves some smores, but it was surely a precious experience to enjoy the view and the weather!
