For some weeks where there wasn't any VDA, then it could be quite challenging. '

As a participant, especially for the games day segment, it was quite engaging as the games ideas were very new and fresh! -alicia]]> 2021-07-31 09:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewkohchinnam/4cx2ctdrfhsw0g1h/wish/1665476729 ametan90 https://padlet.com/andrewkohchinnam/4cx2ctdrfhsw0g1h/wish/1665476766 I like that the VDA lessons are more structured than before (when we used to just play games at the bball court heh) and facilitates good discussion among the children.

They are able to walk away from the session and sometimes they get distracted by their siblings.

At the start when I coached a different child each week, I could see their different learning ways and abilities which helped me slowly figure how to better explain the questions or difficulties some of them face when doing practice papers. Another challenge would also be the nervousness I feel sometimes when leading the VDA especially when I first started. - alicia]]> 2021-07-31 09:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewkohchinnam/4cx2ctdrfhsw0g1h/wish/1665478481 https://padlet.com/andrewkohchinnam/4cx2ctdrfhsw0g1h/wish/1665478839 An extempore session on any topic , situational analysis through picture talk or drawing or a writing competition bringing out the real feelings of children and the issues they face.]]> 2021-07-31 09:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewkohchinnam/4cx2ctdrfhsw0g1h/wish/1665478839 aliciaang https://padlet.com/andrewkohchinnam/4cx2ctdrfhsw0g1h/wish/1665479423 I think sessions such as those that focus on the children's well-being and also those that allow the children to freely chill and talk really help loosen up the worries they children may have, and allow them to take a breather especially since the exam seasons are nearing. -alicia ]]> 2021-07-31 09:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewkohchinnam/4cx2ctdrfhsw0g1h/wish/1665479423
