Mommy Kids’ Event to Learn Cooperation
PE Class of Sanggar Fortune Nursery School with Roirike
The field of RW 05 Ragunan in that morning was suddenly noisy by the ‘chirp’ of kids, last March 28, 2013. They all wore similar clothes, light green T-shirt that read Sanggar Fortune at the back combined with dark green trousers. Completing the sunny morning, the exhilarating rhythmic song was played by the music player put on the sidelines.
That’s right! They were students of Sanggar Fortune Nursery School, who were invited to exercise together out of the classroom. Not surprisingly, the children seemed more energetic than the other days. Children around the world are indeed similar. Adorable and never looked lost of stamina!
At 09:30 WIB, it began with a happy healthy exercise. As usual, Corporate Communications team brought one of the selected Fortuners from Fortune Group to be a guest teacher for the Nursery School children. She was Roirike Mardiana, PR Consultant of Verbrand team of Fortune PR. In the class, Rike excitedly guided the children to perform gymnastic movement ala jumping rabbit, flying butterflies, to waddling duck.
“It’s fun to exercise with them. I remember my behavior when I was a child, “said Rike, laughing. “Near my house there is also a nursery school. So, this song has actually been familiar. But I just now know the movements. It’s exciting, “said Rike. That morning, she intentionally brought a T-shirt and sweatpants to the office, just to join the class.
After exercising, the PE class continued the activity by playing a game of moving the ball by the baskets’ color. The children were divided into four groups, each consisting of five children. Children at the forefront will take the ball and give it to the kid in tow, and so on.
The last child in the order must put the ball into the basket that has been provided on the sidelines. The challenge is racing to put the ball into the right basket. A red ball must be put into the red basket, blue ball to the blue basket, and so on.
This session invited laughter most successfully. Though it was directed by a team of teachers and mothers who accompanied on the sidelines, there were still children who put the ball into the wrong basket. Some kids passed the ball to the wrong person, and some went away with the ball!
Teti Herawati admitted,the PE class is intended not only to invite the children to move actively and teach them color. But it also teaches kids to like socializing, get used to mingle with friends, and to cooperate. “”In this class, the kids are made to learn to know many friends because we always put kids in different game groups. They must learn to work together, as well as separated from their mother, “said Teti. “It’s better now. There are only two students in class B and one child in class A who can’t be separated from their mother, “said Teti.
Children seemed to really enjoy this class. Monaz Praja Wibowo was one of them. The 4-year-old boy was one of those who made the PE class his favorite class. “I love the class because by exercising I don’t feel sleepy,” answered Momon, his nick name, when asked why.
After playing and exercising with the children of Sanggar Fortune Nursery School, Rike admitted to feel happy. “Looks like I did not even become a teacher. But these children did, because of them I was learning for not losing the spirit and stamina. They just did not feel tired, “joked Rike again. “It is a rare moment to be able to exercise and be exposed to sun like this. Usually I always stay in the office. It’s really a refresher before working later, “closed Rike.
