The objective was to bond with the elderly and learn how to communicate better with them.]]> 2018-08-15 06:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273195296 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241242 Our class chose to make a terrarium. The rationale behind this is because terrarium is a simple project that everyone of all ages can make. To make the terrarium even more beautiful, we decided to paint the terrarium. Also, the terrarium is small and easy to maintain. Taking into consideration that elderly are taking care of this, we chose terraiums to be made of acrylic so that if anything happens, the terrarium would not break and injure the elderly]]> 2018-08-15 13:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241242 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241272 The class had to decide what we were going to do. We had to buy the materials that are needed and there were even slides made to show the elderly how to make a terrarium the right way]]> 2018-08-15 13:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241272 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241345 The training was helpful as it helped all of us understand better how to communicate with the elderly. Although the content in the session can be covered in a shorter period of time. ]]> 2018-08-15 13:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241345 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241385 i felt that i enjoyed my time more than I expected while doing the terrarium with the elderly. they were all very participative unlike what I expected. and I think overall everyone had a good time.]]> 2018-08-15 13:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241385 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241438 I feel that I could have helped more in the planning of the sessions or to get the logistics. During the sessions i tried my best to aid the elderly. ]]> 2018-08-15 13:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241438 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241460 I feel like this VIA was very meaningful as I got to communicate with the elderly and spend time with them. The making of the terrarium was also fun because we got to see the artistic talents of the elderly. ]]> 2018-08-15 13:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241460 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241483 I thought that not many elderly would signed up for our class's project so I was surprised that the elderly kept coming in to our class. During the planning, it was quite chaotic as the leaders had to plan a alot things. Some of us do not know how to make it and we also had to go out after school to buy the required materials for the project. For example, soil, plants and the containers.  We even had to do research on how to maintain the terrarium so that the plants will not wilt or become mouldy after some time. On the actual day when we met the elderly, we were all very excited to meet the elderly and present the work we have been working on for a long time to them. They were very friendly. I enjoyed the 2 lessons and thought that it is a good thing for the elderly to learn as it is cheap and it doesn't require much maintenance.]]> 2018-08-15 13:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273241483 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273242244 .During the VIA, it was quite messy as many people wasn’t very sure of what to do but after awhile we settle down.I was shocked to see a MediaCorp actor that I see on TV, right in front of me and quite surprised that all the elderly were really easy to get along with. After the 2 sessions, I learnt to understand the elderly more and be more bonded with them. I also learnt how to make my own terrarium and how fun the activity is.]]> 2018-08-15 13:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273242244 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273242525 2018-08-15 13:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273242525 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273244215 2018-08-15 13:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273244215 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273244441 2018-08-15 13:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273244441 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273245204 2018-08-15 13:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273245204 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273246638 2018-08-15 13:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273246638 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273247399 2018-08-15 13:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273247399 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273247792 2018-08-15 13:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273247792 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273248404 2018-08-15 13:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/273248404 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/282189206 The execution was quite smooth. We could have been more efficient when we welcomed the elderly to the sessions. Furthermore, I feel that there are be some languauge barriers and the volume of the speaker could be louder. Overall, we excuted the session quite well and made minimal mistakes.]]> 2018-09-17 09:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/282189206 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/283192920 2018-09-18 23:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/283192920 SomethingUh https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/283194261 2018-09-18 23:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/SomethingUh/Grp6c3a/wish/283194261
