"The KooBits Magic Show" went to Eunos Primary School last Thursday on February 19! Our two pretty magicians, Serena and Xinying, had the privilege to present to the adorable students of Primary 2 and 3.
Preparing for the magic show...
At 12 noon sharp, the Primary 2 students from the Malay class trooped into the computer lab. They streamed into their places in just a few seconds because all of them were excited about learning a new software for their upcoming project. Without hesitation, Serena kicked start the first presentation and welcomed the students into the magical land of KooBits.
The Primary 3 students were guided by Xinying later in the day. I am sure, none of you know this but Xinying is a pure Malaysian Chinese, who is fluent in Malay! She amazed the class and the teacher, who was on the assumption that the intelligent tool could only be used in English, by showing them the dynamicity of the multilingual KooBits in Malay.
All the students were very responsive and showed much enthusiasm while Serena and Xinying were conducting the lessons. You could tell that they enjoyed their tutorial sessions by their brightly lit faces! What amazed the two more was the caring environment that the school has nurtured. In the midst of the lessons, Primary 5 and 6 Malay students joined in to provide their assistance to the lower primary students. It was a sensitive and appropriate initiative by the teachers because the seniors stood in to be translators and facilitators as the younger ones were too shy to ask Serena and Xinying for help. It reminded me of my primary school days when we had the buddy system for recess to help facilitate the new kids to familiarize with buying food on their own. It gave me a sense of belonging and formed strong bonds with students of other levels, which I am sure the younger students feel the same way.

This is Bani, a Primary 6 facilitator, who is very enthusiastic about KooBits. Check out his cool books through our publishing portal!Education is important but what energizes students to pull themselves up from their warm cozy bed is the close friendships that they have made. At the end of the training sessions, the lower primary students took away not just knowledge of using KooBits but new friendships with their seniors. That is a very heartwarming scene.
For the teachers in Eunos Primary, they were very contented to see their students learning new stuff and are equipped to use KooBits for the products. They showed great interest in the software and agreed that it is a useful publishing tool to capture kids' attention. Mr Hoirull, Mdm Khadijah, Mdm Fatimah and Mdm Ridayu are all looking forward to the upcoming N.E.w Author Competition, where their students can create a meaningful book out of the competition.
That was an eventful day spent in Eunos Primary. Thank you all students and teachers!
