1 Commencement of meeting

The meeting was commenced by Siew Kuang at 1915 hrs.

2 Introduction

The meeting started off with sharing of the group/individual hopes and fears. Members split into two groups and worked on their personal/group fears and hopes. Robert shares with us how to use basic materials such as asking questions using pictures. We can use phrases like “tell me what you see”. We can also try to be wrong so the kids can “correct” you. This way we will know that they understand. Robert proposes future phonics course for us to teach them.

3 Myanmar Activity

Team to piece the jigsaw puzzles under their chairs and read the notes written behind. They learnt about MM ethnic culture through their costumes and childhood toys/games, and what to do/not to do as a respect to the burmese people.
