For example, they can share with me all the troubles they are facing in school and I would give them a dive to support them. I would also show the Primary One student how to purchase food from the canteen. As there is no canteen in kindergarden, it would be a new experience for them. I would tell them what each canteen stall sells and how to tell the canteen vendors what they want.
