The last two Thursdays were busy ones at our Outreach premises
as two classes of GEMS International School Year 4 pupils came by for
activities. The first one was organized by Ms Adrienna Gomez and the second by
Mr James Turpie for their students. Ms Gomez’s boys and girls did Worm Hotel, Colours of Nature
and T-shirt Printing while Mr Turpie’s children did a Rainforest Walk along the
Curtis Trail and T-shirt printing after that.
The kids had fun with the worms, many of them overcoming
their fear of the gentle crawlies for the first time ever, as they picked up, measured,
and then laid the worms into their new recycled plastic bottle hotel. The
children had a field day grinding up local flowers, fruit and leaves as they learnt about colour in nature. They used their natural colours to paint some interesting paper plates.
The second group were luckier as the weather was better and
they were able to trek up the Curtis Trail with Mr. Tajul Arosh Baroky, our
Hon. Treasurer, leading them. Although they saw few unusual insects or animals,
te boys and girls did manage to see the famous Black Lily which happened to be
in bloom along some parts of the trail. After their first rounds of activities, T-shirts were printed for their mums, dads or themselves by
both groups, using leaves and printing dyes which we provided. Many of the
boys and girls got the idea immediately and were able to print some nice things.
The kids were all very well-behaved and we're looking forward to entertaining them at Outreach again soon.
