The Graduation

Friday (26/03/2010)

a) Sharing Session.
l Everyone was wearing green today to standardize the uniform. The kids queued up and took their relevant flashcards and props. We had invited 2 classes; 4-year old and 5-year old to join our session. First, we greeted the teachers and then the kids. Then, each came out to say their lines. They were all independent and sang the “Matches” song. Then, came Foo Soon and Jun Hong’s turn to share about “Stop, Drop and Roll” and “Get Low and Crawl” self-rescue.
l Before we ended, each class queued up to do the “Stop, Drop and Roll” and “Get Low and Crawl” self-rescue. They enjoyed the rolling….haaa!

b) Graduation.
* They queued at the school field. Their Chief Firefighter was Shi Jie. They marched following her orders. Today, they performed the best compared to all rehearsals. After singing the National Anthem, the junior firefighters awaited to be rewarded with badges. However, the guest of honour couldn’t make it last minute. Devin wanted to know the reason. I told him that probably she has some emergency matter. Thus, I rewarded them with their honourable badges. I pinned onto their green t-shirt. They were very proud of themselves.

c) Pencil lead experiment
l As we had some time left, I invited the 4 6-year old kids to show us their experiment. Jun Hong, Foo Soon, Shi Jie and Yun Wen said that we needed 2 water bottles. One for the normal pencil lead. Another for the colour pencil lead. The other kids then helped to segregate the pencil leads into the appropriate bottle. The class had been collecting pencil leads since a month ago. Then some water was added into each bottle. We shall see the outcome on Saturday.
