Project Kick-Off

Whee, we've been selected in Top 50 for Phase 2!

So yesterday (10 Sept) we managed to get Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Seksyen 6, Shah Alam to become the selected school for this project, thanks to Puan Aishah the ever so understanding Headmistress! And we have chosen 2 classes (around 76 pupils) from Standard 4.



SK Seksyen 6 has this lovely Taman Sains which we intended to make it the place for the kids to plant their trees there. We also have discussed with Cikgu Ratna, the teacher that would be supervising us and the 2 chosen classes. Basically we discussed on the place, target students and type of plants that would be planted. We agreed on Cikgu Ratna on planting vegetables like lady's finger, bak choy, kangkung, chillies etc because it's in their syllabus to grow vegetables and also not to mention vegetables has short term cycle so these kids could harvest their veges by the end of school term later on.

Today, around 8.30am (oh yes, we woke up early ok ) we started on preparing the vegetable bed or we call it "batas" in Malay. Originally the school has only 4 "batas", but we created another 4, so it became 8 "batas".


The Taman Sains - before

We were so lucky to have Standard 6 students (6 Berlian) to help us in plucking off the grass on the vegetables bed, thanks darlings! In case you were wondering why these students are not in their uniforms, they actually had this Bulan Kemerdekaan whereby they had to wear national clothes for the whole day.

"Now, if you didn't finish this, you can't go home, OK?!"
"Yes, cikgu.." (joking, joking!)

Ai, project manager pakai jeans cangkul tanah?


Yay! Our vegetable beds are ready!

But the planting of the veges will be held on 27th Sept which is also the LAUNCH DAY for this program. The preparation of vegetable beds need to be done around 2 weeks before planting the vegetables, so this Sunday we need to come again, and there would be some more work in finishing the beds.


Lalalala
