Hey!! This is Siti :D
....MY REFLECTION....
hj
PRE-ACTIVITY:
I hope i can i know more about my classmates through this CIP activity by interacting with them. With this i can interact with them easily in the future. The potential problems are that some may not know how to paint or draw. So, this will be difficult for them. Also, i may not know one another so these may be difficult for me to interact with my classmates. I intend to resolve it by speaking with them more eventhough i may be the quiet type of person. Also, the person who knows how to draw and paint may lend us a hand in doing this CIP.

POST-VISIT WRITING:
I learnt more about my classmates and now i can interact with them more. I also learnt that in painting the wall we must be patience to paint the wall of the childcare centre as it need alot of concentration in doing so. Also teamwork as we need to work together in painting the wall beautifully. The problems that i have encountered are that we do not know what colours we should paint on the characters. Also the weather washed away the paintings that we have just paint causing a lot of mess. We also receive complaints about our paintings but i still do not gave up and continue on paintings. In the end the paintings came out nicely and all our hard works were paid of. Lastly, these activity was fun eventhough it was quite tiring. :))

HELLOOOOO PEOPLE!!
this is NATALIE and i am doing my individual reflection now;D
(eventhough i am watching videos at the moment;D)

1) Pre- Activity Writing
I hope that this CIP activity would allow me to understand my classmates better. Knowing what kind of perosn they are would enable me to interact with them easier in class or even the future. This would solve the problem of misunderstanding among each other and hence, i am able to work well with my classmates and together we will complete the CIP.
The potential problems that i may face are
-i get impatient easily whenever the things are not done properly.
-i may not know how to communicate with my classmates that well
-different people have different opinion on something and might caused conflicts and arguments among.
I  intend to solve the problems by listening to the different opinions that my classmates contributes and from there make improvements on the ideas. Nevertheless, i will try to communicate with my classmates well so as to not have arguments amongst each other and we would be able to cooperate well with one another.

2)Post-visit Writing
I found that this CIP was truly great experience for me.
Not only that i have a better understanding about my classmates but also i found out what takes to finish this CIP project were patient, teamwork and most importantly co-operation amongst each other.
I had met a lot of difficulties and problems during the whole CIP project. We had arguments about what colour should be paint the characters, about people not wanting to co-operate during the whole project, the weather that affected our schedule. Nevertheless, we also received complaints about our nosiy level and critism about our painting on the wall.
Although we were unhappy and upset about the negative remarks that people gave us, we did not give up easily and we still comtinue to finish the job for the centre eventhough our painting and drawings were not perfect.
With the encouragement that my friends gave me, i managed to finish the project eventually.
Although my painting and drawing was not that well done, the final work displayed on the wall was something that made all the hard work paid off.
and lastly, this CIP project was not a success without everyone contribution;D

i repeat once more this is MAY speaking!!!!!!! ;D

PRE-ACTIVITY WRITING:
i hope to learn how to paint on the wall as i have never done it before.
and that i can learn how to work as a team and minimise the quarrels and so.
i also want to learn to be more patience and not giving up even if i paint
wrongly or ugly. in gropus we might always have different suggestion and
opinion, therefore we should not be too presistant to our own idea, sometimes
we could just listen to others so that we would not have to quarrel over it, or maybe we could
vote or lucky draw the ideas.
POST-VISIT WRITING:
i learn to not give up so easily and i learnt how to work more well with a group.
and my painting improved quite a lot, which make me feel proud of myself,
as starting i did not paint so well and wanted to give up but i did not and try.
in my group we did not have alot of problems when we paint. thus we did have a great time
together, and knew each other more well. at first when we start to paint the walls we thought that the people in the area was friendly but as time passed we recieved complaints that we were too noisy and that they insult our work is not very nicely done. which cause us not very happy, as we really put in a lot of effort in doing, and yet they did not appretiate. but we did not give, although some of us were unhappy, but we have to finsh then task we were given. the whole painting project was fun but tiring. THE PAINTINGS WE PAINTED WAS AWESOME. ;D

this is MAY speaking.

ahemm (clear my throat first)
i felt that this whole CIP was pretty much fun.
in a way it was also tiring.
but in this CIP it invovles alot of team work.
team spirit. which somehow bond the class as one.
in the CIP we also get to know one another
much well then before.
i have also learn that we have to
have patience and perserverence in doing the paintings and so.
even though we were being said that the paintings were no good.
we have to do finish wat we have left undone.
and not being 'crush down' by the words of others.
so to conclude this whole CIP, it is AWESOME.
and that we put in alot of efforts in this. ;D

HEY:DDD
this is natalie;DD
and and i am going to do my individual reflection;DD
firstly, i found that this CIP was truly great experience for me.
Not only that i have a better understanding about my classmates but also i have found out what takes to finish this CIP project were patient and teamwork.
I had met a lot of difficulties and problems during the whole CIP project. We had arguments about what colour should be paint the characters, about people not wanting to co-operate during the whole project and things etc.
however, with the encouragement that my friends gave me, i managed to finish the project eventually.
Although my painting and drawing was not that well done, the final work displayed on the wall was something that made all the hard work paid off.
and lastly, this CIP project was not a success without everyone contribution;D

Belvy's reflection

Hello there.
This is Belvy.
I am going to say about how I felt before this PCIP.
Here I go.

Pre-reflection:
I thought this PCIP was a piece of cake and nothing would be too difficult.
I never expect us to meet any problems.
But I hoped to gain something from this PCIP.
That was to bond and understand my new classmates.
I didn't expect the difficulties that we may face would be too difficult to solve.
Hence, I had the mindset of get-it-over-and-done-with type of thinking.

Post-activity:
I learnt that bonding was not as easy.
We all have different likes and dislikes.
We have different time schedules so it was difficult to fix a day and go down together.
Also, there were many walls that we had to paint.
Time was another challenge.
We tried to meet the deadline.
But many people were reluctant to come down and paint.
Hence, with a small group to complete that many pieces of wall was a setback.
Another difficulty was the weather.
If it was raining that day, we cannot paint.
The paint would be washed off.
And that happened.
We were painting half way when suddenly a heavy downpour came.
The rain smudged all the paint on that wall.
As though making the paint smudge wasn't enough, the paint dripped onto the floor, we had to make sure the paint stain was gone.
These setbacks did make us disappointed and angry but we persevered on.
Through this CIP, I learnt many things.
Teamwork to cooperate with one another is important to complete a task.
Perseverance and determination to challenge against the weather to meet the deadline.


Group reflection

Hey!!!
This is our group reflection. :D
Enjoy. :D

Pre-activity:
Because all the old folks home that our class selected was taken by other classes, we did a special CIP.
By going to Thinker Star Childcare centre to help them paint the walls.
While doing the paintings, we received a number of complains about our noise level which I thought was not really noisy because we really kept our voice to the minimum.
Also, we received criticism by the residents leaving there, saying that our drawings and paintings were very ugly.

During the activity:
It was fun but tiring.
Because everyone has a different schedule, it was difficult to meet up on a specific day to paint.
Although we had a time plan and a deadline to meet, we were not able to meet the deadline because some of our classmates were not cooperating.
Some were slacking leaving the others to do most of the work.
Time was not our only problem.
The weather proved as a obstruction for us.
With a bad weather, we couldn't paint because it would smudge.
And the weather is unpredictable.
There was an occasion when we were painting half way, a heavy rain came and smudged the walls as the paint wasn't dry.
We had to redo that big piece of wall.
And as that wasn't the only wall we needed to do, we wasted time by redoing it.
But through this activity, we were able to understand our classmates likes and dislikes.

Post-activity:
We have achieved quite a number of things.
Although we didn't meet the deadline, but we tried our best to finish what we started.
We also learnt values that will help us in our lives.
We have also created and improved our friendship with our classmates.
What we realised was that each and every one of us have different personalities which makes it difficult to work together.
We have to be considerate of one another's feelings so as to not hurt them.
Most of us needed motivation to complete the task.
Overall, cooperating together despite the arguments we had amongst us was something enjoyable.
Also, we worked as a team to meet the deadline.
We found that working together was fun. :D:D
