A Visit To An Elderly Home
One warm and sunny morning, Mrs Tan announced to the entire class that they would be going for a trip to the home for the Elderly. They were extremely excited and curious at the same time as they had never been to an Elderly Home before. Mrs Tan went on to explain what was expected of them.
The next afternoon the students gathered at the foyer and eagerly awaited the arrival of the school bus which was to bring them to the Elderly home. They were laughing and chatting loudly and happily among themselves. They had decided to put up a song and dance routine for the elderly at the home. The honking of the bus interrupted their chatter as they clamoured up the bus.
Upon reaching their destination, the class ran towards the Elderly Home. Mrs Tan called out to them to slow down but they hardly noticed. The Elderly home was bright and cheery looking. Trees and a well-landscaped little garden made it look extremely pleasant. The pleasant and kindly old folks were seated neat rows awaiting the song and dance routine. The class hurriedly changed out backstage.
Very soon the stage was awash in a sea of bright colours as the class began to move to their well-choreographed steps and the sweet sounds of singing echoed through the hall. Grateful applause resounded followed by a light tea with tasty snacks. The students took the time to communicate with the elderly folk there................
