Sharing Ideas

Monday (21/02/2011)

a) Discussion
• Pomegranate and Soaya Bean kids will be visiting the orphans this coming Friday on 25/02/2011. The kids were so excited! Altogether, the amount collected for the charity was more than RM800. The exact amount is yet to be known as we are waiting for the Administration Department’s report.
• Anyway, we discussed of what to do at the orphanage. First, the kids will introduce themselves briefly. Secondly, the kids will perform the Lion Dance. Next, we shall sing Chinese New Year songs of Chinese and English version. Next, we shall teach them rabbit origami. Then, they will introduce to the kids about their orphanage.

b) The Practice.
• We recapped on the body actions for our Happy Chinese New Year song. It was quite simple and they were quite standardized.
• Next, I divided them into 5 groups with 6-year old kids as leaders. I asked if anyone would be happy to show their friends ways to make a rabbit origami. Xing Tong volunteered. She was quite good. We did that for our CNY decoration. Thus, I folded one more time to show the kids the steps of making.

c) Visiting Soya Bean class.
• First, we taught them to sing our English version of CNY song with actions. Next, they joined us. They were quite good and had fun!
• Next, Soya Bean kids taught us the actions for the CNY song “Gong Xi, Gong Xi”. Then, all kids sang “Tian Tian Hao Tian”.

d) Teaching Origami.
• Qian Joe volunteered to teach. Everyone watched him. I guided when he was lolst of words. Upon completing, Pomegranate kids went to their respective groups. Then, Sya Bean joined us. We distributed each kid a small piece of paper. Then, they started folding and cutting. It was really fun! Teaching one another is where the joy sparks! Then, they decorated their rabbit origami and put into their bags to bring home. 
