11.05am:
Briefing on Captain’s Ball
(some might not know how to play)

11.12am:
4th game- Captain’s Ball

This is when the kids had a lot to comment on:
- It’s sort of draggy (1hr plus)
- it gets boring (for those who just sat one corner, not their turn to play)
- ‘tak fair tak fair! Dorg tinggi. Mane boleh!’ –I was like… uhh… okaayy…whatever...

Anyways,

12.20pm:

Everybody loves this part I bet.

1.00pm:
Prize presentation
Winners (3 groups) received hampers.
The rest, since there were no prizes for them, they got some tidbits

1.30pm:
Back to pusat



IMPORTANT things to note:

(comments taken from the de-brief after sports day as well as during the event itself)

~ Comments from the kids

-They would want more games.

-Some said that they don’t mind spending more time
if there are fun games after we said that there’s
a time limit and all.


~ We sort of exceeded our time limit

-Should finish at 1pm If I’m not wrong. But we finished
at around 1.30pm. The first 3 games really followed the
time limit but the Captain’s ball took very long.

-Affected the quiz we wanted to carry out. I find the quiz
questions interesting, really. Also, the quiz is really
something else. It’s not physical. It’s using the brain kind.

-So I guess next time, we really have to work on this.
The time limit that we have and the time taken for each
activity as well so we don’t need to cancel out any of our events

~ Next. Prize giving

-It’s really very sad to see those kids who didn’t win,
didn’t get anything much. So next time, we should give them
some gifts too la.

*Anyway, I’m still not sure about the certificate of participation
Ustaz Rasman wanted to do.

~ Moving on. Ice-breaker games

-We were supposed to have this part –which was removed.
This is an important part actually. It’s like an Introduction!
So that the kids know one another and that’s when the bonding, the interaction and the teamwork comes in.


-Without this ice-breaker games, those kids would feel awkward
with the rest of their group members throughout the games, really.

~Lastly, wet weather programme

- It’s really risky ah just now.
It was raining in the East side.
So I reaaally think we have to have a wet
Weather programme if we’re carrying out an outdoor activity.


-All in all, the sports day was really great.
We hit our expected target of 50 students.
The participants really enjoyed it.
Rating : 8/10 for the whole thing.
And what can I say kan… The hampers simply looked preeeetty 

I've literally cut and paste the report given by Farahain(well done!). I've thought through about the issues raised during the debrief and I will try to address them here.
