It is the second day of our trip. After a restful night, all Boys and Girls reported to the canteen for a healthy breakfast of rice and vegetable soup.
A simple devotion by Grace Ma'am followed shortly after. The Boys and Girls even had a singing competition during singspiration!
We then proceeded to Baan Huay Nam Khen school. Once we reached, our first activity was English Immersion Programme. Shirley Ma'am read a big book 'The Chinese Opera Game' to all the students, both ours and the Thai school students. The students really enjoyed the story. Group activities were then carried out. Our Boys and Girls broke into small groups and partnered with one Thai student for the English activities. Activities were planned by myself and they included: reading, dramatizing and word study (rhyming words).
Then it was time to get 'arty'. It was Art and Craft time! Jenny Ma'am taught the students how to make photo frames. The senior girls went around taking their pictures and printed them instantly for their frames. Mary Ma'am taught the students how to decoration coin boxes to encourage the value of saving for rainy days.
Lunch was served in the school. We had a delicious meal.
'Pop!' was the sound that we constantly heard right after lunch. Evelyn Ma'am sculptured many balloons for the Thai students. Our Boys and Girls had their share of fun as they did their own balloon sculpturing.
Soon, it was movie time. We watched 'Chicken Little' with the Thai students. The movie was in Thai but surprisingly, all our Boys and Girls sat through the entire movie without whining and complaining. I was very proud of them!
Dinner was also taken in the school with the Thai students. After dinner, we presented the school with stationery hampers that were packed by the students of PPS. Each Thai student received a stationery filled goodie bag and a pencil case. The pencil cases were donated by one of our Boy's parents. We thanked the school for having us over and left for the campsite.
After a short debrief, we went back to shower and rest.
Other than the above-mentioned activities in the school, our captain, Poh Chye Sir led a team of seniors to paint a part of the school and the water tank. Benson Sir scrubbed the water tank. John Sir led a team of P6 Boys to do planting in the school garden.
It was really a busy yet meaningful day for the Boys, Girls and Officers.
