YCKPS Twinning Experience in Guangdong
Discover how YCKPS Primary 5 students deepen their grasp of Chinese Language and culture through a twinning trip to Guangdong.
2026 Twinning Experience
YCKPS has embarked on a twinning partnership with Nanhai Foreign Language School (NFLS) in Guangdong (Foshan), China in 2026. This twinning experience serves to provide students with extensive exposure to the learning of Chinese Language and Chinese Culture in an enriched environment; enable students to develop global awareness and cross-cultural skills; and provide opportunities for students to learn and interact with peers of another nationality through the school’s twinning experience at YCKPS’ twinning school in Guangdong (Foshan), China.
During the learning trip, a group of Primary 5 students visited YCKPS’ twinning school, Nanhai Foreign Language School (NFLS), and were immersed in the learning of Science through robotics; and culture through traditional folk art of Chinese Paper Cutting. These lessons were taught in Chinese Language and the students attended these lessons with their peers from NFLS. The students also had a chance to interact with their NFLS peers and shared their impressions of China and their school. The session ended with a gift-exchange where our YCKPS students gifted their NFLS peers with our school’s rubric cube, a 75th anniversary commemoration keepsake.
Besides the learning in NFLS, the students also learnt through new and authentic experiences at the Guangdong Museum, Guangzhou Urban Planning and Exhibition Centre, Nanfeng Ancient Kiln, Cantonese Opera Art Museum and the Guangzhou Library. It was an immersive, authentic and rich learning experience for the students.
Back in Singapore, the students continued with the learning reflection on their trip and also transferred their learning by sharing their learning experiences with their school mates through a presentation at school assembly.
