Heys. It's your Fyn here (:
Okay. There's two things I need to tell you guys.
1.
TOTAL DEFENCE DAY (SWEET POTATO THING)2.
OUR FIRST CIP (IT'S COMPULSORY)As you all know, on total defence day, we have to eat sweet potato. There would be quite a few classes having the same recess slot as ours so the canteen would be chaotic.
Pls co-operate with me. 1S1 would be given a table. As to which table we are given, the teacher in-charge would post the seating arrangement on MLG someday. 1S1 would be given a big plastic bag. Pls throw the potato skins into the plastic bag & not on the table. (Yes, we need to peel the skin...)
Our first CIP project is to go to the PEACEHAVEN NURSING HOME. It is a home adopted by the school. We are supposed to visit the Home on
2ND JULY for about 2 hours. We would be accompanied by our form teacher, Mr Yip. (The form says so, but I doubt if he would turn up... D:)
For the duration of our visit there, we would be doing some activities for and with the residents. Some examples of such activities will be sing-a-long sessions, skit performances, playing of instruments such as piano (there's one in the home), violin etc. (Pls note that except for the piano, the other instruments you would have to bring them yourself) However it is also up to you what you want to do there to entertain the residents and make their day a little brighter.
Hence, we are told to discuss with our classmates & brainstorm in what u wanna do over at the Home.
This is what you are supposed to do:
1) Divide ourselves into 4 groups. (10 girls in each group)
2) Each group is supposed to prepare and come up with activities to do during the 2-hr visit.
3) Please PRACTISE your performances, if you are going to do them. Be serious and perform well. They would not like us to fool around.
4) If there is time left, pls do chat with the residents. DO NOT ask questions which are sensitive. Ask general questions like 'Do you like it here?', 'How do you spend your day?' Or you might want to talk about yourself, your hobbies, school, ect.
Lastly, this is part of your Community Service Programme. The purpose of the visit is for you to socialize with these senior residents and install a sense of compassion in you.
ON THE DAY OF VISIT, REPORT TO THE FOYER AT 1.45pm! DO NOT BE LATE. THE BUS WILL LEAVE AT 2PM. YOU WILL RETURN TO SCHOOL BY 5PM. All these information would be pinned up onto the class board (:
&& PLEASE WRITE THE MEMBERS OF YOUR GROUP (CIP) ON A FOOLSCAPE AND PASS IT TO ME, YONGNING, ON MONDAY. Thank you (:
