Elementary School Lessons

Two Saturdays ago, our little Tenderfoot Scout had an all-day City-wide Scouting Movement with his fellow scouters from The Boy Scouts of the Philippines Quezon City Council.

The activities were held at the Quezon Memorial Circle and attended by many schools from Quezon City.

There was a parade of colors before the activities were given. The scouters played games, got acquainted and played more games.

It was a tiring but super fun activity not just for the scouters but for their families as well.

Mabuhay!

October 24 is United Nations Day.

I’m so glad we go to a school that supports this special day. If truth be told, I am disappointed with schools that celebrate Halloween but NOT United Nations Day. Harrumph.

Here is a photo of the younger daughter with her classmates all dressed up with the country of their choice.

She chose China. The husband at first suggested that we get her a Chinese dress but the daughter insisted we should not buy: RECYCLE was the teacher’s tall order.

We had her wear the husband’s red silk Chinese polo (am thankful we still had this in the closet), with the long sleeves rolled up and a belt to make it look smaller than it actually is. Black leggings and her school shoes that look like the traditional Mary Jane Chinese shoes completed the get-up along with a long white scarf and a bond paper with the word China stapled on it to make it look like a sash.

The children were asked to bring food that represent the country they chose.  We brought shumai or siomai for the class while others brought a lot of different food.

Yes! I am, or my blog is, giving away a Cisco Linksys E4200 router IF I get the most number of respondents:

And answer the 4 survey questions.

That’s it, easy peasy!

Kampo Trexo field trip was fun. There are many activities to do in Kampo Trexo and here are some of what the son and his classmates did (warning: there are a lot of photos in this entry so I hope your internet connection is good):

Going down to where the waterfalls are:

Children enjoying themselves:

They are all off-limits to go near the waterfalls. The field trip facilitators are manning the rope that stops them from going there.

Lovely isn’t it?

Who needs to go to the bathroom when you got free-flowing water to remove the dirt off?

Fun, fun, field trip.
