J1 VISIT TO MIRI PUBLIC LIBRARY

The class of Junior 1 made a visit to Miri Public Library on Tuesday, 19 April in a chartered bus. Miri Public Library provides activities for children every Saturday from 10 am- 11 am. Do send your children there to enjoy the activities. The children were really excited about the trip ~ and obviously, going in the bus was a BIG THRILL!

This is the building of Miri Dewan Suarah where Miri Public Library is situated. Surrounding the Dewan Suarah is a beautiful landscape garden, the Miri City Fan. Here's a photo showing the garden.

Ms Josephine and Ms Molly, the librarians greeted us as we arrived at the library and brought the children to the Children Section. After explaining the functions and rules of the library , Ms Josephine told a story about a white cat who wanted to be black as its mother and siblings.

The children were very responsive to the story.

The children then were asked to draw the face of a cat after the story telling. Busy! Busy! Lots of ' interesting 'cats' emerged!

These are some drawings of 'CATS' done by the children - beautiful and unique drawings ! The children are aware of the parts of the face of the cat ~ you can see 'EYES', 'NOSE', 'EARS', 'MOUTH'.

While waiting for the others to finish their drawings, the children were asked to choose books they liked and read them quietly.

The last activity was to make a house origami. Quite a challenge for the children to follow and required help from the librarians and teachers.

Here's Ms Josephine explaining the steps of paper folding to make a house.

The completed 'house'.

THANK YOU !
