Blind Practical

We have blind practical today..we were doing only blind games/activities and not deaf..actually there were an activity for deaf but the equipment was not working..so only blind games..

As my expectation..hehe..we have to close our eyes with a towel..first game was throw ball into basket with eyes open and repeat with eyes closed..I only managed to get 2 out of 5 with eyes open..even with eyes open, I can't did it well..sepatutnya, must scored 5 out of 5 tau..hehe..and then for eyes closed, hehe..I didn't scored any points..I think at least score lah for only 1 point but no point lah..huhu..so frustating...

Dr. Amit tried it first

with eyes open..

with eyes closed

our scores for both open and close eyes :)

listening to the instruction by Dr. Amit

Then, the second game was "find the sound" game..in this game, the person with eyes closed were trying to find the sound of the bouncing ball..I think this game was easy because we can hear very well..but since I didn't have any chance to try, so I don't know the feeling in this game..only Adot and Syam tried it..

The third game was "listen to instruction" game..the game was played with the closed eyes but the person need to listen to an instructor to tell her where she was going to do next..for example, left, right, 2 steps forward and else..I didn't tried for this game..even so, I think, the game was easier if the instructor were standing right beside you because you will more understand about the instruction given..when the instructor was far away, it will make the person with closed eyes confused about the instruction given..others, the background noise should be eliminate as much as possible..

this game was Nazirah's idea..so she tried it :)

After this practical, the only thing I can say is it was difficult to be blind..and it also make me more gratitude about what I'm having right now :)

Dr. Amit Class

We have Dr. Amit class today about blindness, visual impairment and physical activities..yesterday, we also have a class with him about hearing impairment and physical activities..so next Tuesday we have a practical class regarding these topics..mesti kena tutup mata and pretend like we are blind kan?? for deaf, I don't have any ideas...looking forward for it..

S.K. Tanjong Mas Visit

Ok..As I promised, here the long story :)

Today, we went to S.K. Tanjong Mas to have activities with learning disabilities kids..They were in the Kelas Khas in that school..We went there about 8.20 am and arrived 15 minutes later. When we arrived, they were lined up at the gate, smile welcoming us...Then, kami bersalam-salaman and have a boy who likes to salam with kakak yang cantik dulu..hehe..luckily I’m the one..hahaha..


Our first activity was short aerobic dance. They like to dance and always dance everytime they listened to a song and it was fun at that time to see they were dancing..They are so happy and always smile..soo sweet la :)

They were lined up first before aerobic

just dance everyone :)

Then, we starts with our own games for our group..They were 7 kids in group 1 and they are Badrul, Azwin, Hanif, Madiah, Ida, Ayu, and Nazreen. First game is Mummy Mamia..In this game, they have to wrapped their partner by using the toilet paper..Sangat susah to complete this game and take a lot of time. I remembered Azwin, she does not have good technique to wrap her friend...sambil wrap her friend, she kept saying "ish susahlah nie..asyik putus je"..but she kept trying until finished..baguskan?? after finished wrap their partner, the "mummy mamia" have to jump into the relung...For the second game which is Dancing Paper, it was not played until the end because the kids like to dance more on the stage..Like I said, they liked dancing :)

It was no pictures while we were playing those games because we did not have time to take pictures :)

It was a little bit difficult for me to interact with them especially when they did not given the encourage feedback..My group were passive..But I have tried to talk and play with them and I hope it was ok..the kids were shy and pretended like they knew everything and not interested in our games. Maybe we did not know how to make them participate in our games..but at least, we have tried to do the games and interact with them...


Even it was only about 2 hours with them, it was such a good experience for me..I was touched to see these kids..they were always happy and smile..I do respect the teachers and anyone around the kids because they kept continually trying their best to teach the kids and make the kids feel as normal as they can..can I be like the teachers? *can't figure it out*


And then, comes to the pictures :)

on our way..sesat mencari sekolah nie..

yeay!! finally we arrived at the school :)

Preparation for Tomorrow

Actually, after the practical with Mr. Rocky, we were discussing about each group's activities with Pn. Vina for tomorrow..and as what Shaleen and me had discussed, we decided two games which are Mummy Mamia and Dancing Paper..we have to buy our bahan-bahan which is used in the games and my group only have to prepare toilet paper for Mummy Mamia and newspaper for Dancing Paper..

our games for tomorrow :)
Shaleen and me = Group 1

Group 1 is the kids who most intelligent than the other kids..

Sekarang, aku baru balik dari Shaleen's room..we were making a cute ‘tag’ which is the muffin tag and smiley tag. We are decided to give the muffin tag to the kids in our group with their names on it and the smiley tag is for win kids in both games..I'm not a creative person..hehe..so I made the smiley tag..simple but comel kan?? :D

the smiley tag :)

Thinking of that, I’m nervous to go to the school since I do not have any experience interacting with these kids..how do they react to us??what I'm going to talk to them??..hoho..nervous nya..But I'm also eager to see them..wait for my story tomorrow :)

With Mr. Rocky Loo

Again, we have an invited speaker today, Mr. Rocky Loo from Malaysia Special Olympics..Special Olympic is a year-round sports training and involved with people with intellectual disabilities..First, Mr. Rooky Loo was telling us about the Malaysia Special Olympics..Then, we start the practical with him..The practical was fun..There are 3 activities in this practical..

First, we have to played Football 3 on 3..we have to play football by using our less dominant leg and off shoe of our dominant leg...so that we do not kick using our dominant leg lor..oooo sgt susah ooo played with my left leg..feel like you are less competent to play even though it was only football..An unexpected thing happened when Adot jatuh during the game..because of that, she was out of the game and need to get rest..Adot jatuh maybe because we still wearing the socks in our dominant leg..so after Adot jatuh, Mr. Rocky asked us to open the socks..for the first time, I scored one goal and it was soooo fun because I never do that before..even so, both groups scored one goal..so seri lah markah kami..both groups menang lah..hehe..I have so tired even we just played this game for only 6 minutes..nampak sangat tak banyak exercise..hehe..and there are some modifications during this game which are we have to reduce space and also participants to make the game easier for people with disabilities...best..best..




After that, we went outside to play Bocce..I have no idea what the game is all about..oo rupa-rupanya cam boling padang..hehe..we learned how to played Bocce and it was not easy as see. It was a very skill game and you have to deep thinking before you roll the ball. I like this game so much...we played and Mr. Rocky told us about the scoring..haa how to play?? first, we have to roll a small ball called pallina..after that, we rolled 4 balls for each groups and we have to roll the balls so that it stop closer to the pallina..if closer to the pallina we win, and if far to the pallina we lose..haa this thing really really needs the skills and thinking.it was not easy to roll the ball..sometimes, the force was high so the ball stop very far from the pallina..and of course, lose..hehe.

me trying to roll the ball

the small red ball is pallina..

Mr. Rocky Loo

after played Bocce..we like taking pictures :D

Haa before played Bocce, Mr. Rocky also showed us Individual Skill Contest..The contest was about to kick the ball to get in the goal area..I've tried and the goal area was small..so I scored only 1 out of 4..hehe..and plus, kick the ball using your less dominant leg ok..hehe

Overall, this practical was so fun. I was enjoyed and at the same time, got some inputs about Special Olympics, the games, and the test..

Games

Tonight, Shaleen and me discussed about the games/activities for S.K. Tanjong Mas kids and were decided to choose Mummy Mamia & Dancing Paper games..We are out of ideas but I think those two games are also interesting...I hope soooo :)

Today Class

For today class, we have an invited speaker, Pn. Ang from S.K. Tanjong Mas, Kota Bharu..She is a teacher in that school and is interacting with the students who have Learning Disabilities such as Down Syndrome, ADHD, and others. She was coming to our class today to tell us and made us know and understand more about the students there since we will be going to the school on the next Monday. She was sharing her experiences with those kids since she was involved with these kids for about 20 years. After that, we have to divide into 5 groups and thinking about the games which we like to play when we get there. Shaleen is my teammate. We don’t decide the games/activities yet but we will discuss about it on this Saturday..

The Long Story

Ok..time to write a diary..hehe..Here the long story about what the first practical like I said in the post before..

In this practical, we have to jump, hop, leap, skip, gallop, and slide..haa see like a simple thing, but it's difficult to do when you think before it..hehe..2 people will make a team and my teammate was Cham..one people will assess what the other one doing and tukarlah pulak..

First, I’m doing the task while Cham assess me. Walaupun just kena buat the simple thing, but I can’t really do it well. I have to think what I’m going to do next (blur gak la). I jump (actually, I think how do I jump)..dan mulalah fikir betul ke apa yang aku buat..hehe..cepat lupa apa yg kena buat sebenarnya. And what the funny thing was when my friends laughed at me because of my blur in doing hop.seriously, I forgot how to do hop and where it's my right and left leg..hehe..apalah kan..hehe

Then, I’ve to assess Cham. It really difficult task in assessing people doing this thing. I know what she was doing but I don’t know what to state, describe, or put into words since I don’t really good in English. But I’ve try my best to put it into words and describes what Cham did..Sometimes, I also feel doubt and hesitate about the description of tasks.. pening gak..hehe..But I've write as what I saw :D

It was fun in this practical class. We were acting like a child. And this practical class make me want to see what the next practical class about..hope also interesting la :D

Here some pictures during the practical class..hehe..

kami 12 orang gadis comel :)
without Tomet..

The video when I'm doing hop..hehe..
Adot was recording this video..

Diaries

This blog is my diary for Adapted Physical Activity subject..Pn. Vina (the coordinator for this subject) asked us to write diary (individual task) as one of the assignment in this course..so I'm choosing to write a blog since it's more appropriate and easy to type and upload pictures..and more, I prefer typing rather than writing..hehe..ok other assignment for this subject is we need to have a seminar (group task) and also physical activity class (team task) with group with disability...I like to have those things cause it's the only way I can get closer to the group with disability..I hope the activities will be fun and we can learn a lot from the activities..& one more, the practical class will make me more understand about the subject..

Sebagai permulaan diari ini..hehe..we have our first practical class today..it was for motor skills and patterns topics..but I have other tasks to do now..so I'll story about the practical class next time ok..overall, the practical class was fun..we were acting like a child..the long story? wait na :)
