Today is GMPS 's first BP mentoring session after the june holiday break for the students. The students were as usual restless with a suprising attendance of Jin Ting. Liang Qiao and I were pretty shocked that there is a BIG change in Jin Ting's attitude towards this BP mentoring session. She was very cooperative. We have to pass to them some photostated worksheets to do, which were done half-heartedly by most of them, who crave more for soccer and captain's ball. About 5 minutes before we commenced the games, Liang Qiao was asking the students how they could tell the difference whether egg A or egg B is the cooked egg. Most of them were quick in saying that they should weigh the egg..while there were still some who mentioned about spinning the egg. The guys were persistent in wanting to play soccer, but ultimately they still join the girls in playing captain's ball. After the whole session we went lunch with the mentees at the coffeeshop opposite the library. (by Nick)
THE NUS BP MENTORING CLUB
The NUS-BP Mentoring Programme is a community-service project
sponsored by British Petroleum. Under the programme, mentors
are matched with mentees to help these younger pupils raise their
personal development and academic standards. Here at NUS, we mentor
academically weak students from Geylang Methodist Primary School
from 10 am to 12 noon every Saturday. Our mentees are EM3 pupils from
Primary 5 and Primary 6 and we try to kindle their interest in English and
Maths through a combination of games and experiential learning.(Shivaram)
