Being Junior Firefighters.

Friday (12/03/2010)

a) Recap

We recapped what we discussed on Thursday....that was being junior trainers.

The contents included : "Who are firefighters? Their duties. Reasons of fire. Firefighters' tools. Self-rescue."



b) I can speak.
Each kid chose what they wanted to share about. They had to speak 1 or 2 sentences. It was a challenging task getting them to speak their ideas entirely in English. Thus, I encouraged them with a mixture first. Most importantly, most of them were able to utter the key words. The determined kids who always tried speaking in English were praised as good examples. Among them: Qian Joe, Foo Soon, Wee Hong, Zheng Yuan, Jun Yu and also Yun Wen. With that, more kids tried harder at speaking English. :)



c) My chosen duty.

* The kids came up individually choosing what they wanted. Some kids such as Jun Yu, Qian Joe also suggested other ideas which were happily accepted by their friends. The decisions were as follows:

Joe: doing the introduction.

Foo Soon: Job introduction.

* Chun Kit: snakes, Wei Jeen : bees, Kwong Yong: charity, Zhi Feng: Put out the fire, Qian Joe: earthquake.

Devin: Introduction to fire reasons.

* Jun Hong: matches, Zheng Yuan: irons, Devin: lighters, Yun Xi: gas cylinders, Foo Soon: overloaded sockets.

Jun Hong: Introduction to tools.

Yun Wen: ladder, Yan Shan: hose, Jun Yu: helmet, Natalie: axe, Jing Kai: hydrant, Wee Hong: fire extinguisher, Shi Jie: rescue dog, Chia Yen: siren.

Foo Soon: Introduction to Self -Rescue - Stop, Drop and Roll.
Jun Hong: Get Low and crawl.

d) Junior Firefighter Badge.
* The kids drew their pictures on the badge. Some preferred drawing fire trucks, burning house, axes and etc.
* They also wrote their names under the space provided.
