Fire Drill

Following last week's series of activities for Total Defence, we had a fire drill at 9am today. Like many others, the students were more excited than 'anxious' about a 'fire' that could be endangering our lives. Situated in the first classroom on the level, we lined up at top speed and walked to the open field via the canteen.

Similar to my past experiences, the girls were 'whiny' and constantly complaining about stepping on the grass and many complained about bugs under their shoes. "Eeeeee..... Mrs Tan, there's a moth!!" "Oh, I don't want to step on the grass! It's so 'grassy'!!" More were concerned about the blazing heat to hear what our Principal was trying to say over the PA system.

Having spent 10 minutes in the morning sun, all of them appreciated their shaded and comfortable classroom and we resumed lesson 15 minutes before we break for recess :( Lessons missed!
