Home is where the Heart is

On the 27th of March 2003, Assunta (2) primary school had their Sports Day. Early in the morning, teachers and students were already there decorating their respective tents and also getting prepared for the event. There were many parents who came for the event too. We were required to be there at 8.00am to help the teachers carry out the event smoothly.

As I was busy helping teachers to carry stuff needed for the games such as skittles, hoops, skipping ropes etc., I saw all tents were beautifully decorated. There were four tents as there were four colour houses Assunta (red), Clare (blue), Francis (green) and Hermine (yellow).

The event started with marching and speeches by the headmistress and the chairperson of Parent and Teachers' Society of Sekolah Kebangsaan Assunta (2). Then, the event started with games for students from Year One to Year Six followed by some entertainment by the cheerleaders. All of them were dressed in costumes that made them look so cute.

Next up was the certificate presentations to all the guides (5th and 17th PJ COY) and PBSM who come to help throughout the day. After that we were given food and drinks for refreshment.

Then, the event carried on with games for parents, teachers and former Assuntarians. The overall winner was Francis house. The event then ended with the singing of school song followed by the National Anthem.

On the 22nd of February 2003, 17th P.J. Coy Girl Guides had done a few activities to commemorate the birth of Lord Baden Powell - Thinking Day. We had a 'Poster Making Contest'. We were split into 15 groups of 6 in each group.

Then, we were given a piece of drawing paper and a few pieces of colour papers. We were required to bring our own stationery and and things to decorate our posters. We had a fun but hard time cracking our brains to produce the best and most creative poster. Then, we finally had a idea on how to make our posters.

Everyone in our group worked together to make the poster. Some of us were in charge of collecting leaves and weeds as decoration and some of us draft the poster. While we were doing what we were suppose to do, we saw many other beautiful and creative piece of art done by other groups that motivated us to do better instead of losing hope.

After one hour struggling hard to make the poster, we finally came out with a nice poster. As we were waiting for the results to be announce, we were told all about Thinking Day. The prizes were given out and the first place goes to Mah Sue Ann's group while the second prize was won by Hew Shiao Jeeng's group.

On the whole, we all had a great time enjoying the air of togetherness and toleration throughout the whole day. We are now looking forward for the next year's Thinking Day.
