BP Day - Awesome Day with 105.
Thursday, April 07, 2011
Today's BP Day - a new initiative by the school for class bonding. I volunteered to go with 105, and I must say it's an awesome experience.
As compared to the main class activity, Cheering Competition, back in my days, I think this is a much better opportunity for class bonding. How many opportunities do you get to go out with the class and have fun and games the whole morning, with teachers and all students present? Besides, the organising and planning for games and activities are good opportunities for the students to have hands-on experience that will prove to be valuable in the future. Though it's a relatively new concept to them, I'm glad that everyone tried to put their differences aside and tried to make the event a successful and fun one. So kudos to the school's organising committee for BP day, and the students for coming up with so many ideas!
On hindsight, there are so many learning points from BP Day. Students learn how to plan responsibly, work together as a team, and deal with different types of emotions - fatigue, frustration. And this is much better than any normal project work, because the students actually get to see the results of their labour. such learning is difficult to achieve in the classroom, and I think teachers should make use of this opportunity to guide their students along, so that they gain the most out of it.
Honestly, I hope BP Day will be an annual event in BPGHS. There may be hiccups here and there, but I believe with experience these can be avoided, and it will be a day everyone looks forward to. Once again, kudos to everyone! =D
