In conjunction with the school holidays, LEAPS Educational Services at Kampung Delima Satu in Berakas has organised a range of fun activities catered towards children from ages five to 15. Yesterday LEAPS held an open day where parents observed their children performing what they had learnt during the past four days under the guidance of LEAPS educational officers.
According to Dk Roz Alia bte Pg Mohd Zin, Educational Programme Manager at LEAPS, the activities they plan give children a chance to be kids, while interacting, learning and having fun during the school holidays. She continued, “We have word games, tangrams – where children have to fold things to get certain tasks done – and musical activities involving singing and dancing, where the children learn dance steps to perform on Open Day. They get to interact with each other and reflect on what they’ve done by the end of the day. It’s different from what kids are doing at home nowadays; we provide them with social and interactive activities during the school holidays.”
With parents working during the day during the school holidays, LEAPS offers the utmost service in caring for children. “It is also part of our research, as we’re looking into multiple intelligence and learning styles; we observe the children in the different activities, so we know more about them, and see where they need improvement.”
“The overall feedback from the parents and children is that they want to come back every time,” Dk Roz Alia added.
