RIVER VALLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL 21st-23rd
Had a great bunch of kids in rvps with 3 koreans,1 jap, a guy name giggs and many others. Started by asking, who am I and guess what,they all said I'm Beckham cause of my hair and that is how I got the name BECKHAM which the other students in other group also called me.
We had 2 hours of campfire preparation but it was well wasted till the final 20minutes which we did xi shua shua in the end. Campfire was nice with us winning copycat,anyway, it was clear cut that I would have win since being the most entertaining one with my Jap dude KENJI, he is one crazy guy in the house. Anyway, he gave me so much trouble but yet also had lots of fun disturbing him and I guess the group enjoyed his companion as well together with Ernest too. Sorry for leaving you early people :(
I would miss this school actually for the fun and joy I had with them,I guess I was lucky to have the rascal but because of him,the team actually click. Great mixture with Rohit being the normal kinda pri sch kid who ask all the dumb dumb question, Kim Mu Young was my most mature camper together with Ha WonHye RIm also known as my team korea,Gabrina and Jamie,the 2 often got tease by me and tag team partner of Kenji/Ernest also make alot of funny stuff.
And last but not least,its the start of when Rendall Koh is known as BECKHAM :P

Clementi Pri School
Was quite tired in this cause I did back to back but still had to be in the school by 7.45 on Wednesday, at first meeting the student, it was normal, Had a student who thought I was fierce but I'm Mr NICEEE. The student in this sch I find was much less receptive as compared to RVPS.
Anyway, I had group 11 which means I had no mirror and my total strength is just 18 as compare to others with mirror,they had 30 + so in terms of voice, we were definitely not going to be as loud as them. I had a girl with hearing problem and had to have a hearing device on her and a guy suffering from some hyper active issue.
I did the magical stunt of doing Xi Shua Shua again, haha. 2 back to back camps doing the same campfire performance but clementi pri did a better one. This camp, the student are much more neighbourhood like but in the end I had great bonds with everyone :)
I would really miss the 2 schools :)
Reflections
I find that this 2 camps,I have show how has I change in terms of facilitating a team. I feel I am now giving a much stronger impact to the students with the objective to make them learn but yet enjoy themselve so much, I mean like doing just a simple station activity, I can do it for like 45 minutes and using different methods to facilitate. And yesterday hearing what Potatoe say about my emotional speech to Clementi make me feel happy cause hearing this of words from a more experience instructors is a kind of acknowledgement for me and the outcome of students responding to me at the end of the day further assure me of my performance in camp.
In terms of camp,nowadays ,I realise the student impact me more than the instructors who are present. The bonds as a whole is not that strong like what Ian said. Its unlike the past when even if the instructors are all new, the bond was super strong. Therefore, when Patrick,Alex,Alfred were there at night,I find myself more comfortable.Thanks Patrick for the 2 story you shared.
