Hello everyone.

This is xiuling from boom boom paw.

Our event officially and proudly took place on 21 December 2009.

So first let me give you a brief introduction on what our event is about.

.

.

The title of our event is "Promoting Healthy Diet for the children at The Oasis".

So, as the name suggest..our aim is to cultivate healthier diet for children at a childcare centre (The Oasis) which is located inside Clementi Primary School.

We came out with series of activites to make sure that they understand the benefits of vegetables and fruits as it is beneficial for their health. And the activities are:

1) "Mini Lecture" for the kids in their classroom with materials we have prepared beforehand. There are no projectors in the childcare centre. Without the help of visual aids, we had put in extra effort to make sure the presentation was clear and concise.

2) Salad making session

In the midst of these activites, there were ice breaking games and prizes for the kids to be won. And I am sure they had a lot of fun because I had fun too! (;

By the way, we had also personally engage 2 students from early childhood (ECH) to ensure the smooth flow of our event as we have to interact with kids on that day.

Special thanks to Nadia & Vanessa.

Now I shall let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

SALAD MAKING SESSION

I think my group was innovative because this is the first time that the kids are able to have  DIY salad making session based on feedback given by their teachers. Everything was planned from scratch..from nothing to something was indeed not easy. Especially the sourcing of sponsorship, we went high and low before we found our lovely sponsor "Zenxin organic farm".

We have also learned that time management is very important when it comes to mounting an event. Someone has to be guiding the group so that the members can move along the line and keep up with the updates. If the group is behind time the event will have to be push backward. That is something that must not happen. Back up plans is also another major factor because not everything will fall well into plan and we will have to think of alternatives if it does not.

If my group was given another chance to do it again, we would try our very best to source for more sponsor and mount a bigger event for the kids. Even though the kids have pretty much enjoyed themselves. But we felt that there are much more things that we can do. Such as, the event might have been too rush. We could have engage more helpers to help out.

But I think my group members and I have done a great job!

Hi dear friends! update from creators =)

Hi sorry for didnt hear from us for long. actually we are processing our project every week. As you can think, we experienced a lot of difficulties and joys. So we are very happy to share all of these to you!

On the Monday of our second holiday week, we went to National Youth Council for presentation of our project. They are very important to us, because...we are seeking for fundings from them! At that day we all are quit nervous because we were facing 16 panelist and made presentation in front of them. Luckily, they all looks nice and they didn't through harsh questions to us =) So now we are waiting for their responses.

Our thumbprint work is divided into 6 pieces and two of which we will be using for school event. So as we announced in RFA lecture, we will hold the event on 11/01/2010 and 12/10/2010. We wish you all can come and help us to finish this art work! The good news is we have a lot of prizes for you to win... and the bad news is that we need to charge $0.5 for each thumbprint contributed, since we have to cover the $400 professional fee for judge form Singapore Books of Record. So, wish to see you guys there!

The following are some pictures when we are outlineing the picture and the poster we designed =)
