Visit to Miri Public Library

Junior 1 and Reception Class made a visit to Miri Public Library on Thursday, 19 July 2012. Here is the group photo of the children , teachers and Madam Molly Arthur (from Miri Public Library).

Miri Public Library is located on the 1st floor, Dewan Suarah Miri building. We went to the library by chartered bus and for most of the children - it was the first time riding on a bus. Obviously, the children were thrilled and very excited. The children were singing all the way to the library.

The objectives of this visit were to introduce the children to the Publi c Library and its facilities, to encourage them to register as members, to development listening skills and understanding in story comprehension, fine motor skills development, creativity, to learn to conduct themselves socially with their friends and adults; to practice basic social etiquettes and to give new learning experiences to the children.

The children were greeted by Ms Teo Wee Leng, City Librarian and other library staff , namely Madam Molly Arthur and Madam Josephine. At the CHILDREN SECTION of the Library, Madam Josephine read a story to the children and later entertained the children with an ORIGAMI activity.

The following photos show the children colouring their origami.

Children singing and acting out the songs! Then it was time to go; but not before saying thank you and good bye to the staff of the Library ~ for entertaining us and giving the goodies given to the children.

Happy faces in the bus!

Well, not all looked happy ...... some were in awe ! And the children were singing all the way back to the school!

We hope that the children will register as members of the Library so an to enable them to enjoy the facilities given in the Library. Thank you to all the staff of Miri Public Library for making this visit a memorable one for the children.
