Reflection for 14 March:)

On friday, we fall in at 3pm and did our usual greetings and uniform check. The sec 1s were not with us as they had went out for their energy Efficiency Badge. Coy 1 sec 3s did axemanship while coy 2 did turfing to practice for our pioneer badge. It was quite fun and we manage to recap what we have learnt last week and improve on our pioneer skills. 
We also made our head gears and costumes for the World Water Day on saturday. My patrol used cardboard, newspapers and plastics bags to design and create a costume for our sec 1s. We had to use our creativity to make a costume our of recycled materials for the competition. It was very enjoyable!
All in all, friday's activity was fun and interesting as we did pioneering and made costumes. Everyone had fun and i look forward to the next activity!:)

Total defence badge (bronze) for sec 1s

Hello Sec 1s!

Remember the other day when I told you about the second part of the total defence badge? This is how you should do the second part:

1.          Objective: To provide incentive to participate in Total Defence. [25 marks]

This assignment consists of two parts, a photo and a write up. The assignment has to be type and printed out,

For this assignment, guides will be allowed to divide themselves into groups of 4-5. In each group, guides will take a photo of themselves and all of the members should be in the photo, imitating a certain item/body movements related to the different aspect of total defence. For example, if guides choose to represent a hut, two can imitate the roof; another two can imitate pillars, while the last one imitates a bench inside the hut (e.g. the roof represents military defence).

The photo must show at least three different aspects of total defence and each part of the photo can only represent one aspect of total defence. (For example, the roof can only represent military defence but not two aspects of total defence. This is to encourage creativity in guides.) Photos must be taken using a digital camera and must be of high resolution. It can be taken from different angles if one angle is not sufficient to show clearly what they are imitating.

A short write up of 150-200 words is required to explain the photo. Guides can choose to scan or print the photo and attach it to the write up. In the write up, guides must show their understanding of the aspects of total defence which their group have chosen and describe how the photo depicts that aspect. The write up should include five parts.

Part 1: each member’s name, class and patrol.
Part 2: short and detailed introduction stating who is imitating which part and the aspect that part represents.
Part 3 - 5: each paragraph on one part and its relevance to the corresponding total defence aspect.
Photos and write-ups will be graded based on its relevance to total defence and how effectively it can explain the three chosen aspects of total defence. Interesting and attractive work awarded a higher grade.

NOTE: Photos can only be taken using digital cameras, no phone cameras are allowed.

DATELINE: GUIDES ACTIVITY ON WEDNESDAY, WEEK 2

There will be 40 minutes allocated for all of you next Friday. 10 minutes for discussion, 10 minutes for photo taking and 20 minutes for report writing, so group leaders please ensure that your group has at least one digital camera. The E-cube room will be booked and each group will be allocated to one laptop, so each group should also have at least one thumb drive to save the word document. Report has to be printed and typed.

More details will be given on our first activity, Wednesday, next week. Feel free to text me if you have any questions.

Also, those who've not submitted part 1 (poster) to me yet, please do so next monday morning.

Enjoy the rest of your holidays :-)

Reflection for 7 March:)

Today we fall in at 3pm, 15minutes later than usual, in guides full uniform for the sec 2s.  Everyone had to bring their guides full uniform except the sec 1s as it's photoshooting day !!:D First we greet the seniors as usual and did uniform check. Some of the ex seniors came back today and I was happy that they came back to visit us:) Then the sec 2s had their drillings. I feel that we should continue working hard for our drillings and put in more efforts as we are already seniors of the sec 1s and we should set a good example for them. During drilling, I felt that I was quite lag for some of the commands and I hope I can improve on that. Next we had cheering session YAY!! Cheering sessions are always full of laughter and fun and I really love cheering sessions:)  Then the sec 2s and sec 3s went to do our total defence badge work and I'm glad that we all manage to pass. Lastly we had our photo shoot. But before photo shoot we did our sizing first. I feel that time really pass very fast as last year I took the photo as a sec 1 and now I am a sec 2 so we should all cherish our moments with each other before the seniors step down.

Reflection for 5 March:)

On the 5th of March , we falled in at 3pm and had our roll call . The sec 3s then went to have their canvas pitching and the sec 2s went for drill and we learnt got to improve some drills (: like moving three steps to the front , back , left and right (: although we didn't do it very well , but I think all of us did put in effort in trying to do our best to memorize the command and I think we would be able to do it very soon (-: We then had gadget making , where my group made a shoe rack , I think we didn't really do a good job as the sides of the shoe rack was loose and thus I think we could have improved more on our gadget makings (: afterwards , we had our patrol BBQ party!! it was really fun as it was the first time we had our barbecue party during cca ^^ we brought food to barbecue and got to spend more time with our seniors and juniors which I really enjoyed very much and hope to have another one again ;D

Reflection for 19 February:)

On the 19th of February, we fell in at the concourse at 3pm and did the usual stuff like row call. We then proceeded to the Grand Auditorium to have our World Thinking Day rehearsal with the scouts. We practiced longer than the scouts as we had to help the sec1s work on their turning. Although it was tiring, it was worth it as our schoolmates would get to see a very uniform squad :)  After the rehearsal, we had out Total Defence Silver badge test. Most of the groups did not pass and I felt that all of us should have worked harder. Ms Tan also pointed out our mistakes so that we can improve on them. I hope that every one of us can pass the Total Defence badge for our retest :)
