Reflection from me

Hello friends



I felt so excited to meet you when my teacher told us you were already in our school. I was also nervous when I had to meet friends from another race.



Throughout the session, I enjoyed showing others the games that were played by our parents when they were young.

My reflection

Hello friends!



I'm so glad that you came to play traditional games with us!



I love the part where we had to jump over the skipping rope. The first level was super easy but the last level was so difficult. My heart was beating really fast when it was my turn to high over the rope which was held so high.



I enjoyed making friends from different races because each of us is different. However, we can still talk to each other using English. So wonderful. I also had fun playing the traditional games.



DO come again.

Dear friends



Thank you for coming to our school. I hope you had an enjoyable time.



I had great time playing the yeh-yeh with you for it is so exciting to jump over the skipping rope.



I can build friendship with friends from another race. It is important to respect each other and show care and concern to others.



It's me!

Kieran's thoughts

Dear pupils from Blangah Rise



Thank you for visiting us.



I enjoyed playing the yeh-yeh with you. I wish that we can visit you in your school too. Will my wish come true?



I cherish the time knowing friends from another race and school because it is fun and I can learn a lot from each of you. I can also learn how to communicate to you whom I only met you the first time.

Dear pupils from Blangah Rise



Thank you for coming to our school. I enjoyed playing the yeh-yeh with you. It is so thrilling to jump over the skipping rope made of rubber bands.



I loved the last level where we had to jump over the rope while the teachers held both ends.



My thoughts on making friends from another race:

1) It is very fun.

2) I can learn about traditional games and know more about their history.

Dear pupils from Blangah Rise



Thank you for coming to our school. I enjoyed playing the five stones with you. I liked it because it was challenging for me.



I like to learn things from other cultures and make friends with them.
