St. Peter's Church Holiday Camp (Day 2)

Date: 29th November 2007

The children woke up at 6am although their wake up time it actually at 7.30am!!! We had to get them ready for breakfast and a morning walk.

The group activity didn't get their attention so I was asked to do Action Songs for the whole afternoon program. That's where Tiffany and I had to come up with more songs to teach the children and we came up with:
1. The Lulu Song
2. With Christ In A Vessel
3. Making Melody
4. Yesus Pokok




It was a fun afternoon for the children and myself but my fingers were in so much pain. Before sending the children for refreshment, we taught them 'Friendship Dance' and something funny happened after that...

We told the children that the boys must couple with the girls and both the boys and girls reaction was "NO!!!!!!!!!!!" They gave us many reasons for not doing the dance but we didn't bother listening to them. The children then formed a pack and went against us. They had their meeting in their room and didn't want to meet up in the AVA Room. There were a negotiating moment between the children and the helpers and we came to a conclusion where the children promised to behave and if they do not behave, their punishment would be 'Friendship Dance'! ...and it worked!!!
team Monday (my team)

The activities went on the whole afternoon and then shower and then to church. And again...Tiff, Angel and I left for home for shower! We came back in time for the Puzzle Game where we split them into two groups, each doing Origami and Charades. They were enjoying themselves with the games and at 9.30pm, we took them for supper and lights off at 10pm.


The helpers then had a serious meeting where we brought up certain matters which were not doing well in the camp. We had an agreement that Tiff, Angel and I can sleep in the AVA Room while the other four girls in the children's room...it was finally a night where I slept well until 6am..
