On Sat aftrn, CDAC and MOE jointly organised a talk for low income families' parents on the choosing of primary schools. While the parents are attending the talk @ the auditorium, some activities were organised for their children. Was with the children in the 4-6 years old age group...being a volunteer as their "babysitter" haha.
Activities piped up for them: Magic show, "Cars" Movie screening, teabreak, lastly coloring session. The magic show managed in engaging the students...but when it came to the movie, many started to become restless. I guess the movie was not too appropriate for the kids who were younger & the girls. In between, there were toilet breaks, where the kids wld obediently lined up and became a train line to follow you to the toilet in grp of 5. Muz jaga their doors for them cos some dunno, dun dare to lock the toilet doors. Muz press the taps for them cos some had difficulties washing their hands while pressing to the taps...Some wld want to wait for you to hold your hands back to the room..
A pair of bro & sis combi is v sweet. The slightly older bro in K2 will take care of the sis who is in nursery. Helping her to carry her waterbottle. Once, the boy told me that 妹妹要找 mummy. After much coaxing, they quietly sat down & joined in the activities with the other kids. After the magic show, the bro approached again & said "我们要 mummy". So this time rd, even himself wanted to find mum. Alright, as big bro u nit to take care of sis. Give sis some water her lips r v dry. See how other kids r having fun...ur mum will come find you when ur activities are done. They are quite obedient kind, althou you can sense that they are quite scared, they'll keep v quiet and listen to what you say.
There are also kids who are hyperactive and juz can't sit down & stay put. There are kids who will be too afraid and started to cry. An afternoon spent with this group of young innocent children is nonetheless quite enjoying=)
