The earliest available activity was at 11:30am, which was the making of a windmill. Papa registered Lyn Lyn and she went in and sat down all by herself, next to the voluntary "jie jie"! When distributed with the materials, she listened carefully and followed the instructions! She was the first to finish with removing the materials from the template card distributed and waited for the other kids to finish. As what Papa said: Lyn Lyn finished with the items requiring gross motor skills and the fine motor skills bit was done by the Jie Jie!
If you think she's happy after completing this activity, then you're wrong. She went on to ask for more, as there was a different group of kids who sat behind her just now when making the windmill! Mama brought her to the information counter again to register for the next activity, which was making a "hat" with feelers! The voluntary "gor gor" wasn't as friendly as the jie jie just now, well, men's not as sensitive as gals...anyways...the kids were asked to choose 2 pieces of the long-stripped coloured papers (for the "hat") and 1 bigger piece of coloured paper (for the eyes). Then, they were asked to draw 2 big eyes on the bigger piece of paper and then cut them out after drawing. Lyn Lyn asked whether she can draw rectangular eyes...and the gor gor said okay. She quickly drew 2 rectangular eyes, with a dot in the middle and then cut out both eyes all by herself. The gor gor was just trimming for her afterwards! After that, the gor gor helped to measure the size of their heads and stapled the 2 long-stripped papers together, asking the kids to put sticky tape at the staple, so that their hair won't get stuck when wearing the "hat"! After that, the kids were to stick the eyes onto the "hat" and then take 2 pieces of furry wires to make the feelers! Lyn Lyn did all of the above all by herself again with limited assistance! When all were done, the gor gor helped to stick the feelers onto the "hat" and everything's done!
Lyn Lyn was really concentrating at every step...think that's how she has made all her great creations in school too!
What's the greatest thing of all? The activities were actually for kids who are 5 years and above. Papa and Mama told the organisers that she's close to 5 years old...if not, she won't be able to participate. What's more encouraging was that, even though she's not even 5, she could do much better than the real 5-year-old in completing the task! Well done Lyn Lyn!
Lyn Lyn @ work, curling up the furry wires! Who would have thought that she's not even 5?!
