Went to the centre without beryl.
Initially have no one to teach.
Later Farah introduce me to one tutee.
So i took JW for the day.
I guess he's a problem kid, cause two teachers scolded him severely that day.
Firstly due to him not paying attention
and
Secondly, because he used the excuse of : "my glasses spoilt so i can't see the words clearly thus unable to do"
On the second one, i thought he just say it for fun but didn't expect the volunteer to take it so seriously.
From this i felt that the volunteer scolded him for the sake of scolding and would look anywhere in order to find a topic to scold him.
Still, it can be seen that he is quite naughty as he couldn't bother to answer the volunteer's question correctly and looked very angry with his eyes turned white elsewhere while the volunteer scolded him.
He said he hated maths and felt science was much easier.
So i tell him that science will depend a lot on maths when he goes to secondary school. If he couldn't do the simple math question now, he will not be able to well in science in the future secondly school as he did so now.
Can see that he is quite worried though, but he do not really believe me.
Really, his maths work that day is actually on multiplication, the steps to take when multiplying 2 numbers.
He's a primary 4 but i remember that C already know how to multiply before i taught her division on the first session to the centre. and C is only pri 3.
So, in conclusion his maths is not that good.
Thus we spent like years for him to finish his 2 page maths assignment cause he always don't want to do and talk to his friends.

Later after he finished his homework, i went off and saw a pri 4 student teaching An maths.
He drew models to teach him! i was impressed that he is able to help An even though his level of education is only 1 years higher than An.
And An listened to him =)

That day is also the time to conduct survey.
It is not very successful as we only got about 5 responses from the students there and the volunteers couldn't do it for us as they want to sit beside us as we teach our tutee in order for them to grade us.
Then it was too late, so the in-charge agreed to help us do it the next session.
But after missing 2 weeks the deadline for the finished report would have been out already.

K that's basically all.
