Session 2 + RMPS environment

Had some time to walk around the school to survey the environment today so here's what I found:

1. bubble tea shop opposite RMPS (damn packed with kids when the morning session ended)
- if we want, we can try to find a corner and film the chaotic scene at the bubble tea shop to prove its popularity

2. exercise machines placed outside hall
- according to little chats with the kids the machines were first placed there in Feb this year. Aleady spoilt now. Kids don't play it anymore cuz they're spoilt. We were also wondering if the height of those machines were actually suitable for those kids.

3. lack of vegetables served in canteen food
- BUT you see the eat 2 fruits 2 vege poster around the school. even on the door of some pri 1 classrooms.

4. convenience of 2 hawker centre right outside school.
- avail: western food (eg. fries is a popular choice - at least back in my pri school days. 1 boy today mentioned he likes to buy fries from there too cuz not avail in school)

Session 2

1. Kids don't eat proper lunch (also found out from little chats during focus group)
- 1 boy drank slurpee from 7-11 opp school, some didn't eat, another gal drank only a pack of milk. main reason quoted for not eating: not hungry. really don't understand how they can survive w/o breakfast and lunch... emanuel and another gal said they ate chicken rice. chicken rice is served w/o skin and w/o vege.

- school sells sandwiches (egg and sardine flavour) w/o vege.

2. Pending Kate to find out some answers from Mas about school background.

3. Jeremy Teng and this other fat boy i can't remember his name (not jiang rong)... loves fast food, western food (they named pork chop, fish and chips) fast food.... the fat boy said he will remove all vege from his burger. likes soft drinks. but 2 other in their focus group said they dont like fast food at all.

4. Usage of computer is common at home. Those who dont use, quoted "computer spoilt" as the reason. Some are strictly controlled at home (eg. only 1 hour a day) some are not controlled (unlimited hours) and some say they play about 3 hours. Mainly they use the computer to PLAY GAMES like maple story, and that dance game (audition - did i get it right?).

5. The picture game ended too fast for the kids... as Eleanor's gang of friends said: they always CHEAT! --> referring to Jester and his best friend for saying out the name of the food and spoiling the whole fun of the guessing game. Game ended too fast so we ended up chatting with them.

6. School no longer helps the kids to order milk
- they used to take orders from all the kids and think they distribute the milk during class like 3x a week. (choice of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry) not sure why it was stopped cuz i remember almost entire class will order the milk.

Problem
As Audrey mentioned these are what we found out during little chats during focus group. Not documented. But today was a bit short handed so I was running across 3 groups to chat with the kids also. so filming was a bit sacrificed.
