Preparatory Sessions 4 and 5 - Souvenirs making and more Communication Skills Learning!

WOW! 11 more days to departing for India!!! Time flies!!!

The excitement is building up!!!!

For these 2 preparatory session, we started to make souvenirs to give to our friends in India. There were pictures of Singapore's iconic places and food, for example, The Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, chilli crab, and Satay. All of us wrote notes behind the pictures for our friends.
As we were writing the notes, we felt even more eager to go to India.

Here are a few pictures to share with you. Enjoy!

After the souvenirs making, Mr Andy talked to us about communicating with our friends. We had a role play activity following the script given by Mr Andy, where one student asks questions, and the other student answers.
