a) Puzzle pasting.
 The kids listened to instructions to paste the puzzle picture. The kids got excited because we used the home-made glue to stick their pictures to a recycled cardboard.
 The glue was very sticky! Then, it was left to dry so that we can cut them tomorrow.

b) Michael Jordan.
* Michael was born in 1963 and he is 49 years old this year. His father worked in an electrical factory while mother in a bank. They advised him since young to work hard on their dreams. Michael loved Basketball. He would slam as many points as possible before sleeping every night. When he was not selected for his High School basketball team, he tried again! He didn’t give up! The following year he was chosen. He worked very well with his team. In a few championships, Michael injured himself but he was so determined to win and his team won again. His T-Shirt is number 23. Today, he is a successful businessman who does frequent welfare work such as setting up Scholarship Funds.

b) Basketball Game.
 The kids were grouped into 4 teams. Each time, first 2 groups would play while the others chose pom pom props to cheer the teams. After 10 minutes, we swapped groups.
 The kids learnt through play. Usually the tallest person is in the middle. They will try their best to catch the ball. Then, the opponent will try snatching the ball.
 Rules:
- No hitting hands.
- No snatching.
- No arguing at play.
- No running with ball. Must always dribble (bounce and move).
- No blocking the hoop.
- Every foul will follow by a free throw for the other team.

c) Video Clips.
 We watched video clips on basketball practice and training. The kids got to know of Michael Jordan. We watched his top 10 best slam dunks! Kwong Yong thought that Michael was flying but he wasn’t. He practiced so hard to reach today’s status.
 Then, we watched the video clip on “Somewhere Over The rainbow” again. The kids got better and they could sing more confidently.
