Lesson 3: What is school life like in RVHS?

It is the dismissal time on a Wednesday afternoon. The environment is bustling with activities. Everyone is ecstatic as school has finally ended. Most people has a weary look on their face as it has been a long day. Some people are eagerly packing their bags and the rest are preparing to put up the chinese new year decorations in the classroom. People are standing together with their cliques, talking. The noise level is slightly higher than usual as some people are laughing and giggling in their own conversation. One of our friend that we have talked to says that she is feeling happy as her teacher did not assign any homework for them to do today. Her face lit up when she mentioned that she has no homework to do. The classroom's windows, walls and noticeboard are beautifully decorated with angpows lanterns and other crafts. The decorations made the classroom "redder" than usual and creates a festive atmosphere. From the surrounding, what impresses me the most is that my classmates are cooperating well with each other to decorate the classroom for the upcoming CNY decoration competition and they are all having fun. All of us hope to win this competition and bring glory to our class and be proud of ourselves. I think school life in RV is busy yet lively at the same time for RVians. Everyone take pride in their work and try their best in everything including non-academic work.

This image shows the school spirit in River Valley. A boy is hanging the paper lanterns outside the window of his class made from the red packets by his friends. Everyone is assigned a task to do and with everyone doing their part, this speed up their work process. The boy who is hanging the paper lanterns seems to have encountered a little problem while hanging the lanterns as he does not have enough hands to do it by himself and he has to tip toe to be able to reach the top of the window. I feel that one of his friends should take initiative and help him with some of the work. Overall, the students in this class have team work and are able to cooperate well with each other to decorate their classroom.

This image shows Fear in River Valley. The boys in our class love "playing" a lot. Perhaps their definition of playing might unknowingly cause fear in other students.

This images shows Happiness in River Valley. Two girls are sitting on the swing and have fun riding back and forth. They are chatting animatedly while on the swing too. It is nice to take a ride on the swing with your best friend after a tiring day to destress and have a nice bonding time. Happiness is simplicity! 

This image shows the Life in River Valley. It is so lively on the day of RV 58th school anniversary celebration concert. Everyone has arrived early and gather in the school hall to watch the exciting performances. The hall was silent when the Concert Band started performing. Everyone are captivated by the melodic music played and are listening attentively. It seems that all the students are enjoying the music pieces. The hard work of RV concert band have been paid off.
