just completed my GESL camp (7th - 8th Dec) yesterday and it was fun being a facilitator! x)
my GESL proj grp decided to do a 2D1N health camp for some chubby pri 4/5 students during this school hol! and we ended up at Junyuan Pri, somewhere near TP. *phew* thank goodness its in the east, if not i cant imagine travelling all the way to the west (worse still, back to boonlay area) for a short camp like this.
anyways, i enjoyed myself very much, thanks to the great company (esp. Jess, Jo, Jae) and the kids! haha. lots of pictures coming up.
my girls :)
the boys :D
the 2 babes and me! *hugs* wouldnt survive the camp w/o them.
the kids listening attentively to announcements...
the facilitators...? busy taking peektures at the back of the hall. :P
my only photo of the whole Yellow Team (Group 3). the kids, my 2nd i/c Charmaine and my 3rd i/c Huiting
the kids were attending a health talk by Satiish, so we were at it again.
after OG time and their baths, the kids settled down in the hall for the mock campfire! their campfire = red light sticks (._. )... *thinking abt guides' real campfire.*
peggie, one of my girls, she got homesick during dinner and started crying for at least 1/2hr. so i brought her away from the others and told her, she can use my phone until she can reach her mommy.
peekture taken when there's finally a dialtone to her mommy's line. (note that she was going to do a victory sign)
she bawled until i felt like crying with her. it was a heartbreaking sight. btw, i think homesickness is contagious among girls, after awhile, my other girl Amira, started to feel depressed too. thank God she didnt cry...
then after all the fun, supper and back-breaking work, day 1 came to an end and its bedtime!!!
the boys' sleeping quarters (hall) my boys and their friends in their chosen area.
then after the boys are ready for bed, i went over to check on the girls...
we initially thought we could ton for the night, but we were so tired that we regretted not bringing sleeping bags. so the 3 of us were intending to curl up on some chairs or just slp on the floor when i found a big blue bouncy GYM MAT!!! woots! it was so spacious and comfy!
the 3 of us again, the following morning!
day 2 was quite short and it ended around 12pm after some morning workout and a slideshow session for everyone.
1 last grp photo before the kids left for home.
group photo of TeamOut. :D
after the camp, jess, jo, jae and i went to Tampines Ikea for our lunch-cum-celebration. the new ikea is HUGE!!!!!!! if it wasnt for my big bag and aching body, i would have explored the place. i went home immed after the lunch to catch up on my slp. heh.
our sumptuous meal...
a view of ikea (i love the warehouse concept, reminds me of my LOM days back in poly)
i took 125 photos in all for this camp! (excluding the recce session's) :) i love this whole experience and i look forward to going to primary schools again!
hope u guys like this entry! gd night!
