11-07-07 RnR first session

We had our first Read & Reach session in the library today...
haha.. the children that attended our session today were quite cute! At first i thought they will be those super naughty type de, but most of them are not la.. but there will sure be exceptions..
really had a good time laughing during the opening ceremony la! keke.. i was wearing my indian costume for a skid lata and a went down to first floor library, and shi en gave me a popper to pop when our cute vice-principal announced the start of our programme.. lol
there were clowns that entertained the kids but i did not manage to watch their performances.. sigh.. and, they were holding this super-big Poppers that was for Mr Tan to pop..
soon, they started to count down to the opening ceremony... 5,4,3,2,1.. POP POP!! lols.. the vice-principal POPed a hole on the ceiling!! WAHAHAs

i guess he aimed the big popper at the ceiling, and the popper was too strong, and parts of the ceiling fell to the ground! i just couldnt stop laughing la.. at first i tot what happened, cause there was quite alot of smoke everywhere, then i saw that big hole in the ceiling, and the stunned and angry faces of the librarians behind the counter, followed by the dropping of the ceiling onto the floor, then i realised what happened! haha

after laughing, we brought the kids to the second floor, where the sessions will be held.. ok i gotta say that the girls in our session are very gd except for a couple of them who were quite rebellious and witty.. the guys... hm... no comments...

we started out by introducing the session leaders to them, followed by the skid that we put up for the kids.. ok the skid was badly done. ppl who saw the skid would know it, and i was quite disappointed with it.. haiz.. told ahem to practice narrating the story a few mor times, and he said that it will be easy for him.. But, for the actual performance, he did not manage to narrate the paragraphs in the right way and right timing.. and, he was simply too soft and fast, such that the kids cannot hear what he said exactly.. i performed my character badly, as i have no idea how to express some of the feelings that a filial person should have..

after the performance, we realised that the kids only managed to grab hold of the key concepts we are trying to convey, which is filial piety, but, when it comes to the the details of the skid that showed filial piety, none could tell us.. this really reflected that our skid was a failure.. i have no one to blame but myself.. but, i have learned from this mistake, so i will do better next time de=) thousand apologies to all session 1 ppl!

Common Games followed, and we brought the kids for a tea break before sending them to the atrium for the games.. personally, i feel that the games were quite well recieved from the kids, as some of them even wanted to play once more.. haha.. the kids from different races interacted quite well for my group, and they managed to cooperate with each other for the games.. participants are divided into groups of three different races, and they have to guide each other through out a simple obstacle course that requires team work to finish..

after the common games, the kids were sent back to the library where they decorate pieces of colorful papers with pictures and words that they want to express to their parents=) saw some very gd pieces, and some not very gd ones.. so, we decided to award those who drew very well with tokens we prepared.. hope they like it lo! keke.. after filling up the reflection cards and pasting them on a vanguard sheet, they were given reading cards where they record down the chinese books they read during the week before the 2nd session.. then, the cheeky kids called upon our ccs couples, revvo and yiming to dance lo! haha.. cant stop laughing.. see revvo so paiseh to dance, but he still manage to dance abit of the chicken dance, which was quite nice! haha.. applause for revvo!

however, the day ended disgustingly.. after the kids left, we had to attend After Action Review.. we were expected to give our views and suggestions about session 1 lo.. one of the teachers say that we were not energetic and we were like falling asleep at that time(6.30pm) and she compares herself with us, saying that she is SO energetic! lols.. it wouldnt be fair for ppl like jasmine, Ze long who spent alot of time preparing the session, attending to the kids, had endless late nights just because of the session.. how can she say that? haiz... didnt rebutt her as she is our teacher afterall.. in fact i should give her some 'face', since she is still not bad a teacher afterall, compared to some other teacher in-charges that did not do much to help us..

after AAR, we returned all the stuff back to the CCS cupboard and left for hm.. lols.. at last session 1 is OVER!

however, there comes national day and newswriting competition that awaits me! and also helping out other sessions of course! haha



my mom says that i will confirm get a U for econs since she saw that i didnt even open the econs file to study at all lo.. then i macham kenna suaned de.. then got back my results and i got a Sub-pass! haha.. although its not a pass, its not a U either! and, my mom replied my msg saying i am a miracle boy.. keke.. so happy... wonder how i did tat? there must have been some essence of tychoism that brought me such unexpected results.. thanks god!
