Wushu

Wednesday (17/06/2009)

a) Wushu
· Our respectable instructor is Teacher Yong (Yang lao shi)
· He taught the kids a few skills: queuing discipline, instructions such as bowing respect, not to scream when listening to instructors, stretching hands sideways straight and with energy.
· The kids also learnt that Wushu is for protection and not for fighting.

b) Father’s Day Song
· We read through the words and then the kids explained the meaning.
· They enjoyed the song especially the chorus part.
· It is sung to the tune of “I Will Follow You” as in the DIGI song.
· Song:
“I will follow you,
Follow you wherever you may go,
You work hard all day long,
To give us a Home Sweet Home,
Thank you so much…..
“Oh …..Father(x 3),
Please remember we love you (x 3),
Forever and forever, forever, forever,
Oh……FATHER
Thank you for everything!”

c) Father’s Day Book
· As discussed earlier, majority of the kids voted for making “a book” for their father.
· However, they have different ideas they wanted to draw on the cover page. The picture will be their father’s favourite.
· Eugene drew a laptop, Wen Yue, Foo Soon, Jien Wei drew dragons, Le Xin drew a rainbow, Shi Jie, Jen Ning and also Sharlene drew a house.
· They drew and decorated with yarns and also straws. Then, they coloured the picture.
· We shall continue with the second page today.
· The kids preferred that the book not be stapled so that they can continue the book for a long term basis.
