Logos Hope!

Thursday (06/10/2011)

a Logo’s Hope Theatre.
We reached Westport and reached Logo’s Hope ship. We climbed the stairs and boarded the ship. We were shown the way to a theatre whereby the crews introduced themselves. They danced, sang a song, played some games. Then, they invited the audience to participate. This included wearing a life jacket and also tug-the-war. It was indeed a great fun.
b The Book Shop.
The kids went to the shop and saw many colourful books. They went there to pick books and read them. They were excited and we had to reduce their noise as it is a public library. The kids then adjourned to a corner which displayed a story of a family. It is a good story whereby it teaches us to differentiate good and bad. Then, we went to the café. Kids went to a corner whereby there was face and hand painting. Time to go home and the kids were very tired but……phew….what an experience.
c) Storybook: Hansel and Gretel.
* The kids requested me to read this story and so, I read the book to them. It is such an interesting story about how 2 kids were lost in the forest. They saw a house made of candies. They started eating pieces of the house. The witch welcomed them and eventually trapped them. However, when she wanted to cook the kids for her meal, Gretel pushed the witch into the fireplace and she died. They brought back some of her treasure to help their pooor parents. Although the kids enjoyed the story but disagreed that the kids should take or “steal” the treasure. They should just go home and help their parents.
d) Unforgettable Moments.
* Each kid came forward to say about their favourite part of their Logos Hope trip. They started the sentence with “I like Logos Hope because….” Or “I don’t like it because….”. The kids love it because of the storybooks, the performances, seeing their teachers’ participations at activities, handpainting, the window view, the high staircase and also the beautiful ship.
* Then, they drew pictures of their memorable moments in their Log Book.
