It's sweltering hot! At 3.00pm in the afternoon, the temperature soars to 35degrees C on some days, under a huge umbrella you see a parent giving out balls and discus to very excited children to run around the school field. The children aged 7 to 8 had no issues about the sun but poor Active Recess parent.. is melting under the umbrella.
Armed with a whistle and stern voice whenever necessary, these parents direct the children not to hurt themselves or other children and to share their ball. Remind the children to have their food first, wash their hands, drink water etc.
Some days there will be no incidents, some days someone get hurt or they bicker but all in the name of play, the children get over their differences very quickly especially when there's only 30 mins at recess time, every single second counts. Why argue when you can play!
The next day, another parent will come and do the same in the sweltering heat. These parents are fearless! Not the sun or the heat will deter them from performing their Active Recess duties. Admirable indeed!
