1st session of Harmoc SL in afternoon.
venue : Day break family centre in yishun, near khatib mrt.
i am with angeline and shermaine, angeline bing the one-in-charge.
our group got 7 kids in total! woah. in very very ming sian de contrast, waisin, ivy and (i forgot who) only got 2.....=.="
getting them to settle down, intro themselves, and play a game of wacko is quite okay.
problem is, barely 15 mins into the game, some of them wanna start playing harmoc le, when we are supposed to start only about 30 mins later....
so, in order not to lose their attention, we started teaching harmoc.
some of the kids were good, some were noisy, some liked no interest at all. got 1-2 even learn harmonica before le.
we managed to teach all 12 holes, and tested them with a "test", and most of them know the basics le.
in fact, i am sure that most of them are eager to start learning songs le.
all of them didnt bring stationary, so i have to lend them mine, and i think 1 or 2 got lost in the process.
their harmocs is also the not so X kind, about $10 + only, in contrast, ours is about $30.
their harmoc also got no numbers de, and i had to pass my marker around for them to write.
funny thing is, got 1 guy de harmoc got 24 holes! the ones we normally use is 12 holes de... but luckily the blowing and sucking is roughly the same.
i am not mentioning names though as the ppl involved are underage =P.
fulfilling but tiring day.
we had a debrief in the void deck cos the centre is closing.
huipeng's group and my groups were one of the better manged ones (somehow)
but otherwise, the centre said that we (the whole harmoc ) were one of the few who could managed the naughty kids quite well. (well, thomas did warn us before the kids were be very naughty de)
next sessions is on next weds and fri.
after that is class SL. tt one is 2 leaders per 8 kids per group for 3 days. OMG then.
then i will be coming for the last session of the SL to ahngdle the kids in the advanced course.
the kids are supposed to stage a Christmas concert on the 14 of dec.
Till then.
