Newspapers Collection Exercise

Woke up early this morning to violent thunder, lightning and heavy heavy rain. Got so worried that my newspapers collection exercise had to be cancelled. Called up someone who lived near the school to get a more accurate weather report and when the rain showed some signs of letting up, decided to go on with the exercise. Was really thinking of cancelling at a point of time...

Got over to the taxi stand and boy, was there a loooooong queue! Why? Because there were tons of P6 students 'rushing' to get to NUS to take the entry test for NUS High. Thankfully, there was a cab who was due to change shift in CCK and I managed to jump queue and got to school in time.

Not sure how 'motivational' I was - dun think I was quite effective... The kids remained very slackened and took their time to move to their assigned blocks. The rain perhaps? I know I definitely would have liked to stay in bed... Stomach was grumbling as I made my rounds to the various collection points but no time to makan... Onwards I go...

Some students really surprised me with their enthusiasm and attitude to help out in the exercise. Some students did not, with their lack of initiative and needed constant pushing to put in a minimal effort.

Many thoughts and things I wanna say about the above. Let me gather my thoughts first - will pen them down in another post.

Phone died after about an hour into the exercise - I knew I should have charged it fully last night! Borrowed one of the students' phones. Now very tempted to get a new phone.
