Children were asked to write down the activities they engaged in on a daily basis in school and at home. They were also asked to list their interests and hobbies. All the activities were listed in a sheet of green coloured paper. They included the following: School: extra-curricular activities: oratory competitions, school clubs, Girl Guides, Boy Scouts, Little Mermaids, singing, inter-school competitions, Qur’an competitions, dancing, Home: watching television, hobbies (see below), eating, sewing, ironing and other chores, Hobbies: singing, reading, drawing, crossword puzzles, painting, watching movies, Music: composing, singing, school band, Internet: Facebook, chatting, computer games, graphics and web design Sports: football, volleyball, netball, athletics, swimming Leisure: picnics with families, travel abroad, drives with family, Participation activities: leadership posts in schools—prefects, school board, organising school assemblies, meetings, sharing information, wield influence, attend functions, planning, having a say in school activities, run school clubs. The Kaleidoscope was designed such that children would reflect on a wide range of activities rather than simply listing ‘participation activities’. The rationale behind the invitation to include as many activities as possible was to prevent them from forgetting other activities, which ‘would have prevented them from seeing the main outcome in the next stage (relations) in which they discover a direct relationship between participation and proximity.’35 Relations People with whom children interact regularly in their activities Children were next asked to list the people with whom they were in contact with during these activities. This was done on a sheet of yellow paper. They were also asked to underline the people they felt did not listen to them or did not take their views into account. School: teachers, coaches, physical education instructors, school nurses, classmates, friends, academic coordinators, other staff Home: parents, siblings, extended family, friends, neighbours, tutors Hobbies and interests: teachers, coaches, family, other amateurs, friends, staff Internet: social network friends, computer gamers, friends Health: family, doctors, nurses 35 Ibid., 33 28
