Caring for the Elderlies
We spent a meaningful and fruitful day with the elderlies at Peacehaven Nursing Home. Children performed dance items and sang songs. The elderlies clapped along and also sang along to the familiar tunes of hokkien song – ‘ti orh orh’.
After the performance, the children presented handmade photo frames and also interacted with the elderlies. When it was time for the children and teachers to say goodbye, the children went around to shake hands and give the elderlies a high-five. It was definitely a meaningful bonding session with them.
Learning Points
-
The children learnt about kindness and respect while they visit the elderly home by greeting them with smiles and by showing appreciation and care to them.
-
Through this experience, children will cultivate understanding and love through the interactions between the them and the elderlies and promoting the spirit of giving.
