Week 3

This time around it was just 5 of us heading for the home so one car was actually sufficient.

Han Xern was the driver for the day and thankfully we dint get lost back in Kay L :)

From this week onwards, we started of our tutoring schedule. Each week, 5 of us are to be present to teach the children.

Every pair of tutors shall take turns alternating the weeks between themselves. In that way, the children will have a fresh face and approach to learning every other week. This week we started of a little later which is about 9.45 in the morning due to our dear adam's delay :)

The five of us, namely Han, Serene, Adam, Pei Yeen and me headed of to our respective venues.Han Xern focused on the subjects of BM and Science for our one and only Form 3 student in the house. Meanwhile, Serene handled the older girls and shuffled between the subjects of Maths and English. She even managed to squeeze in a little dialogue session with her pupil, Cindy just to spice up the story and to maintain her interest.

Adam had the upper room to himself as he taught the older boys the subject of Science. He started of with the basics of calculating mass and density before further advancing on the topic. 

Pei Yeen the other hand had a rough time handling the younger children ranging from the ages of 4-7. As it was her first week flying solo, she did admit to having some difficulties in handling the students as well as in maintaining their attention. Well we hope that in time, teacher Pei Yeen would be able to cope yea ? :)

As for me, I handled the upper class primary school students. I started of by explaining further on the topics of occupation, colours and vehicles. I then continued with a short game to emphasize the meaning and spellings of the said words. I finished of my lesson with a short role play by each of my three students to ensure that they have truly understand the terms they have been taught.

We ended our lessons at twelve in the afternoon followed by a short debriefing by the caretaker of the home, Miss Susan.
