parent volunteer - installment 3

another hour of fun with these 姐姐s. This lesson was a little tough for most of the girls. But they made it at the end.

mama felt kind of sad as i know i won't be seeing them much very soon. even the thought of not seeing them the following week made me want to stay a little longer with them.

new fun - badminton

as it's papa's turn to clock in the hours for parent volunteer, the family get to enjoy the (ususal) "spill-over".

papa has signed up for badminton. he is not an expert/champion/enthusiast. but he knows the game, i think!

in order to volunteer, the bought himself a racket, AND he bought you and mama one too!

so recently, papa and you have been playing the game at home. you are pretty good for a starter.

you often bring home pictures you drew in school

to my delight, i found your sketches of your latest fun!

parent volunteer - installment 2

game area

(minus the restless children)

mama was so happy when they accepted my offer to volunteer this morning.

this is probably hardly amusing nor proud to blog about for many parent, but i want to share our (papa's & mama's) journey with you ( and 妹妹).

today i got to spend the whole morning volunteering - 2 sessions as follows:

session 1 - mother tongue week

assist teachers it facilitating games

our game: 15 meter 3-legged race for at least 300 girls! all in batches of about 30 of course.

bonuses:

made a friend - aunt ke. turned out that she has a (3rd) daughter born 1 day after 瑞君！ what a co-incident. =) we first met last week when we both were lost on first day of volunteering. haha...

as usual, mama will always find ways to have fun and play with the children.

session 2 - contact time art (tile sponging)

facilitate art work for primary 2 girls

beautiful art work left to dry outside the classroom

the girls are so creative in their own ways

mama's personal fav!

(work by: little rachel)

need i mention the fun i had?!

colourful beginning of another journey

we are still unsure if this is right. with faith, some encouragement to each other, papa & mama decided to go ahead and volunteer our services to a primary school that we think may be good for you.

• fill in a form
• send in an application
• a phone call from the school ( yeeks!!)
• interview with the school
• induction to the volunteer program (PVG)
• it begins...

activity no 1. : contact time - art

mama actually enjoyed the session very much. i spent an hour guiding some p2 girls in tile printing.

some of them made me smile- each have different personalities and name tags! i can call each of the 姐姐 by names.

bonus: get to wave hello to ky-linn 姐姐. unfortunately i won't get to spend time with her class.
