Reader's Badge Reminder

Hi Guides

Please take note of the following details as we've noticed that many of you have missed out these details when doing your reader's badge,

1) Write the title, author, clause & criteria
2) Keep your summary and reflection short and sweet - a total of 50-100 words.
3) Separate your summary & reflection into 2 distinct paragraphs
4) If you're caught plagiarising, you will have to re-do. It is very disappointing to see you girls plagiarising, using the works of others as your own and claiming credit instead of putting in effort to do it yourself, especially since YOU are the one getting the badge. To write a summary/reflection is to review the book and write your thoughts using your OWN WORDS.
5) Reflection should be related to Guiding/self
6) Follow the criteria given
7) Write the total number of words at the bottom
8) Write each summary/reflection on a fresh piece of paper. (so that in case you fail any one, you wouldn't have to re-write both)
9) Do not staple your summaries/reflections of different books together
10) Write on a piece of A4 foolscap paper, not papers of any other sizes
11) Remember to write your name, class and patrol
12) Copying from your fellow peers will result in immediate failure

Those who have been asked to re-do, submit your re-done assignments on Friday. For the rest who have not submitted the 3 summary/reflections please do so on Friday or latest by next Wednesday.

Lastly, please bring the piece of paper Wei Ran AQM has passed to you the last activity, as well as a passage of your choice from a book for your oral test.

Thank you.

29/05/2013 Activity Reflection ;D

The activity on 29th May was the last activity for the term and semester before the June holidays. We had our yearly photo taking and the sec 1s and 2s were very excited. We made sure that we looked smart and neat in the guides uniform as it represented our pride for guides. Perhaps it was the last time we could see our sec 4 seniors in the guides uniform, but we will always remember them as our guides seniors and respect them. During the gadget making time, the sec 2s have to guide the sec 1s to make a clothes line. The clothes line that my patrol tied was wobbly and not stable, but we will do better next time. Next, we had PT and I feel that it builds up my stamina and endurance physically. Furthermore, it brings out the ‘one for all; all for one’ spirit of guides. Besides, all the cheering made me feel proud of guides and be motivated to participate enthusiastically.

290513's Activity ! :D

Heyyyy guides!

Since Friday is PTC, we'll be having activity on Wednesday instead :) We'll also be having Guides photo taking on Wednesday.

Reflection 17/5

During activity on 17/9, Friday, its the sec3s first activity as seniors and we were all quite nervous. The sec 2s and sec 1s were told to fall in at 2.30 and as usual, we started the greeting. After that, we started our first activity which was tent pitching! :) Each patrol was told to build a tent and we walked around helping those patrols that were not very sure of how to pitch a tent. After the tents were pitched, Jingyu briefed them slightly and pointed out to them the mistakes they made when pitching the tent and the things to take note of. After that, they were told to unpitch the tent and move on to the next activity which was the making of a sit-upon. Some of us taught the sec 1s to make the sit-upon first and some drilled the sec2s, while the remaining sec3s went to the field to pitch a canvas tent. The sit-upon was quite interesting as I have never made one before and it was quite simple. All thats needed to make a sit-upon is just a few pieces of newspaper!:) Everyone was supposed to make a sit-upon for themselves which will be used for the upcoming june camp! After making the sit-upons, everyone was briefed about the upcoming camp and given a consent form. We sang taps and was dismissed after that:)
As a whole, I think this activity was quite a good experience for us sec3s as we learnt many things from this activity! ^^
