Art fair!!

 I participated  in art fair organised by Ms.Plat. . Frankly, I was not a volunteer for this, but since there was one person missing in a pair who was supposed to teach Decalcomanie, I needed to back up. On this day, year 12s went to Schooll 9 to teach different  fun art activities for young kids. The activity I and Michael did was Decalcomanie: draw what you want to draw on the half of the paper and fold it, then it will form a one full picture. The first difficulty we faced was we needed to be brought down to the young kids'levels, so we had to explain in easy and understandable ways. Also, it was quite hard to control them. We were not really good at how to treat kids, so  when they were not doing what they were told to do, we didn't know how to make them do it as some of them didn't do just by asking them to do. After two sessions which were about 3 hours, I was exhausted. I think I didn't do too much work, but just it was too hard for me, a novice teacher. However, teaching and playing with young kids was such a good experience for me as well as it was challenging.

  1. This was an excellent CAS activity and I'm sure many other people benefitted from your planning and hard work.
