Some of the meticulous preparation before implementing the session with the children

Children given THEIR OWN INDIVIDUALISED STory BOOK ... VALIDATING their contributions and participation

Masks and props that the children will be using to dramatize selections from the story....

Evaluation prompt BOards in Visual ICOns together with English and Mandarin To FAcilitate Expression and assessment of REactions to the session

The story book and Personal Diary to draw and write their exepriences...

USE of Positive reinforcement of THEIR experiences...affirming and vALIDATing THEIR PARTICIPATION using "ritual" presentation of TOKEN certs

A performance that warrants an oscar....the story is performed around, in BETween and amongst the children thus the group space becomes the performing stage further enhancing the engagement of the group

Interns Claudia and Mickey, taking turns BETWEEN THEM narrating and dramatizing the story......playing out the different characters, emotions, actions and engaging the children imagination and identification in the themes conveyed by the story....
