Honestly speaking, it was my first time participating in an actual amazing race(wide game). It was an invigorating experience with Kezia, and the two brownies from Yu Min primary. We had a blast!
We were first given a map, a question sheet and just 45 minutes to complete the race. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't too favourable and it was pouring! To ensure the safety of the 2 brownies and ourselves, we made a pact that in whatever situation, SAFETY COMES FIRST. The first stop was at the walkway along Mandarin Gallery. We had to view all 9 glass information panels along the gallery and find out which of those had plant-related information. After spending around 15 minutes at the bustling walkway, we ambled to Somerset 313 shopping mall, level 5 and counted the number of green columns in the place that was packed with plants. On the way, we had to keep a look out for "special" dust bins that were used for recycling purposes (as stated in the question). There were also 2 questions that were related to eco-friendly shops. By right we had to visit Centrepoint to figure out what the shops are. However, using our prior and general knowledge, we figured out the shops-- Starbucks and The Body Shop ! After filling up our question sheet, we reported back to the game masters.
I am very honored to represent COY 1 and CCHMS Guides in the Wide Games. I bet both of us did not expect to actually win a prize because of stiff competition from all the schools in Singapore. Nevertheless, I am very happy that I can actually make a contribution to Puan Noor Aishah award for COY 1 and I would like to thank the seniors and teachers for giving me this chance. Thank you! :)
Through this wide game, I learnt map-reading skills as we had to navigate around the area using the map given to us. This game also taught me to be independent and not rely on others when faced with problems, such as when we were not being able to find the answers to questions and had difficulties finding our way around initially. However, we did not let these problems get the better of us and worked to solve them together. We worked as a team and would always look out for one another during the game, never neglecting anyone. All 4 of us worked really well as a team as we communicated our thoughts and ideas with one another efficiently, leading to smooth completion of the game. Without one another's support, we would never be able to emerge victory. I think this game is fun and enjoyable and I would definitely love to participate in it again if given the opportunity!
This outing is not a Guides activity and isNOTcompulsory.Pls seek your parents consent before attending.Tmr outing is just plainly forFUNand also to let the Guides family bond tgt.
For tmr, we will be staying around ECP playing some games :) The outing will start after cross country and end around 6plus, but you can leave anytime you want if you have something on :]
Meeting point will be the nearest toilet closest to the dismissal area. Feel free to call Catherine or me (83883490) if you cant find us. Attire for the day will be whatever you all will be wearing tmr (eg class tee, pe attire), but you all will need to bring extra set of clothes to change as we will be playing water games! ^^ You can also join us on the spot even if you forgot to sms us. :)

The annual thinking day celebrations was on 18/02/12. Unlike the past years, this year, the celebrations was held in the heart of Singapore, whereby guides from all parts of Singapore gathered at SCAPE for the celebrations. The celebration started with a sing-along session as we waited for the arrival of the Guest-Of-Honour, Mrs Mary Tan, Patron of GGS. Mrs Mary Tan entered as we sang the welcome song for her. Unfortunately, it started raining. We can see that everyone took out their umbrellas of different colours, which seemed to form a picture. Luckily, the rain stopped and Mrs Joy Balakrishnan, President of GGS, gave her speech. The theme for this year’s thinking day is “Together We Can Save Our Planet”. As Mrs Joy Balakrishnan took her seat after her speech, prizes were given out to the awardees of the competitions and there were performers by the winners. After which, we went to have some fun at the handicraft booth, where we could create different crafts from simple materials. After all the fun that we had, we gathered at a multi-purpose room where we had a little mass dance, and ended the celebrations with the singing of taps. Although we did not have any winning entries for the competition held before the thinking day, but COY 1 came in FIRST for the wide games held on 18/02/12! :D

Hey Sec1s! This is the first time you all are doing badgework. Doing badgework is a part of our CCA. We apply our skills to complete tasks and assignments. The purpose of doing badgeworks for proficiency badges is to allow guides to apply different skills, learn new skills, know how work with others and care for things around us. Thus, it makes our guides all-rounded and develops our guides’ character.
After completing and passing the badgework, you will receive a badge to sew on the guides’ full uniform (we’ll bring you all to buy at a later date). This is one of the simpler badgeworks. In the future, you all can get to go for interesting courses to learn new skills! It is important to hand in your work on time just like how you should for your homework. Punctuality is very important in girl guides and all other UGs. At the same time, you won’t trouble the teachers and seniors with your late work as we need time to process your work. Please hand in your work by the deadline.
Part one: To explain Total Defence and its necessity (Individual work)
Guides are to do up a poster to promote and create awareness among the people about Total Defence. The poster must be able to effectively explain at least one of the five aspects of total defence – economic, social, military, civil and psychological defence and needs to include the total defence logo. The poster needs to be at least A4 in size, at most A3. The poster can either be hand drawn or done using the computer and printed out (DO NOT JUST COPY AND PASTE FROM ANY WEBSITE. IT MUST BE ORIGINAL.)
Posters will be graded based on how relevant it is to total defence and how effectively it can explain the aspect chosen by the guide. Detailed works will receive higher marks. The amount of effort put into the work by every guide plays a very important role in the marks they will receive. Interesting and attractive work will also be given a higher grade.
Part two: To provide incentive to participate in Total Defence (Group work) (3 groups of 5, 2 groups of 6)
This assignment consists of two parts, a photo and a write up.
In the photo, guides in each group will imitate items using body movements. For example, if you 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. The different parts are to represent different aspects of total defence (e.g. the roof represents military defence). The photo needs to include at least three different aspects of total defence and each part can only represent one aspect. Photos are to be taken clearly. It can be taken from many different angles if one angle is not sufficient to show clearly what they are imitating. (THE IDEA OF USING A HUT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED SO PLEASE USE YOUR CREATIVITY TO COME OUT WITH SOMETHING ELSE)
A short write up of 150-200 words (cannot exceed half a page) is required to explain the photo. In the write up, you need to show your understanding of the aspects of total defence which your group have chosen and relate how each part signifies each aspect. The write up should include five paragraphs. Paragraph 1: each group members name, class and patrol. Paragraph 2: a short and detailed introduction stating who is imitating which part and the aspect that part represents. Paragraph 3-5: each paragraph on one part and its relevance to the corresponding total defence aspect.
The photo is to be printed in colour while the write up is to be typed and printed out using Arial font size 12. Both the write up and the photo must be stapled together with all names, classes and patrols of each member in the group written clearly at the start of the write up.
Do you all know that today is Total Defence Day?:D Please put in effort and do a proper job for this badgework, a sloppy work will not be accepted. Since this is a compulsory badge, top 3 entries from each company (we’ve company 1 & 2, you will be in one of the company) will be awarded! All assignments (part one and two) are to be handed in to either AQMs (Vivian@4RP or Wan Ting@4FG) by 29 February 2012. Thank You!
Hi Guides! :D Please learn the Guides World Song and Guides' Promise by heart by next activity :))
World Song Our way is clear as we march on and see our flag on high! It never furls throughout the world for hope shall never die! We must unite for what is right in friendship true and strong. Until the earth in its rebirth shall sing our song, shall sing our song.
All those who love the true and good whose promises were kept, With humble minds, whose acts were kind, whose honour never slept. These were the free and we must be, prepared like them to live, To give to all both great and small, all we can give, all we can give.
There will be activity on the 15/02/12, this coming wed to rehearse for the upcoming thinking day parade. Pls be in PE attire, as some of you might sweat and it might be very uncomfortable to do drilling in full sch uniform. You can also wear full school uniform, if you dont mind the sweating. Fall in at 2.45 on wed in the concourse. This rehearsal will end at 5pm.
Those who cannot attend on wed rehearsal due to valid reason, pls write a parent letter and submit to the ST on fri.
There will also be rehearsal on the 17 Feb, during guides activity and 21 Feb, tues. Details will be given again for these 2 activities.
Valentine's is round the corner and i believe all of you should be prepared for the sale of roses/balloons/donuts by now.
I dont know if Pertina inform you all that the wrapping of roses is on monday itself, after assembly. but yeah, i expect ALL OF YOU to stay back and help out. I understand that most of you got the OCBC talk at 7pm, it might be a little too rush for all of you, but DOOOOOOOO finish the wrapping of roses by mon latest by 6pm! Ms Juni has kindly booked a room for us to keep the roses in school :D so all of you dont have to lug it back. She has also booked discussion room 3,4 and 5 at zhulin building from 2.30 to 6pm so that you all can wrap the roses. anything not wrapped by 6pm, i expect some of you to bring it home to continue wrapping. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE assign one person who do not have to attend the OCBC talk to bring back all the roses. or simply, if possible, ask one of your parent to drive the unwrapped flower home. I NEED TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE ROSES MUST BE KEEP IN AIRCON ROOM AT ALL TIME! EXCEPT ONLY WHEN DURING THE TRAVELLING TIME where you bring the flower back and forth. i have no wish to sell wither flower on valentine's! so always ensure that the unwrapped roses that you all are bringing back are kept in good condition!
Pls handle the money VERY CAREFULLY especially on the sale day itself, always make sure that the treasurer is in charge of the money and someone has to take care of the money tin AT ALL TIME!
Note: Try to finish selling all the donuts/balloons/roses during lower sec recess, but keep about 1/4 of the roses/balloons/donuts for the upper sec recess lest the upper sec dont even have a chance to buy our stuff. ALWAYS HANDLE PREORDER VERY CAREFULLY, MAKE SURE THEY SIGN ON THEIR NAMELIST WHEN THEY COLLECT THEIR ROSES. be careful not to mix orders up or sell preorder to the rest. you can only sell their preorders after sch when the roses are not collected. i want some of you to do a price board, to indicate the prices of our donuts/balloons/roses so to avoid confusion. it doesnt have to be really pretty, just make sure that ppl can see the prices.
Like what i told Pertina, appoint some of you to be in charge of delivery and some to be at the stall. (tell me how many excuse slips you all need, try not to have more than 6 ppl, these 6 ppl pls dont be from the same classes, i need IC/AIC/Treasurer to be excused from lesson) There will be 2 slots for those at the stall, one is lower sec recess and the other is upper sec recess. And if you all cant finish selling the roses/balloons/donuts by both recesses, you all are supposed to stay back to FINISH the leftover after school to sell to the other school mate. You all can try your luck with your classmate, go and beg them if need to, or simply aim those couple in your class and make them buy! :D if not, some of you can also help to clear the leftover by buying them yourself! Last resort is to beg the teachers to buy! you know those married one, just ask them buy for their wife! eg, Mr Chua/Mr Soon. they are generous nice teachers! :))
Note: For delivery services, Alicia PL and Anna ACL will be doing the delivery for sec 4s ONLY. while i will be doing delivery service for my class, 4EP. yep, so for the rest of the delivery, sec 3s are in charge of it.
Some Sec 4s will be staying back on mon to help/teach you all how to wrap the roses. DO BRING ALL THE MATERIALS NEEDED THAT IS STATED FOR THE WRAPPING. crepe paper, cotton bud, aluminium foil, thick tape(those is really sticky, usually in blue, yellow, red and green colour), nice wrapper for individual flowers and newspaper(easy to clear up) etc
That will be all!
Do do your best for the sales and raise as much guides fund as possible <3

For activity on fri, fall in in guides half uniform at 2.30pm SHARP. (Sec 2 and 3, guide the sec 1 to fall in) Cut your fingernails, fringe pinned up (only black hair accessories allowed), 4-fingers high socks (if not we sell you socks!) esp. SEC 1S. For those whose lesson end late, pls also report at 2.30pm. Time will be given to you to eat later.Those who are absent for last activity, please take the initiative to pass your MC/Parents' letter to the ST’s before you fall in.
Those who haven submit their thinking day form. pls also submit your form to the ST before falling in.
For sec 2s and 3s, please bring along your Guides FULL Uniform with beret,hanger, scarf (ironed), world badge and POLISHED enrolment badge forCCA phototaking. ALL badges are to be sewn onto the full uniform for Sec 2s and 3s. Those who have missing items for their full uniform and attire will be given double punishments. For sec 1s, please do wear WHITE PE tshirt (tucked in) with our school skirt for the photoshoot, those who did not wear white PE shirt will be barred from taking the photo.
Guides, make sure you look good in our cca photoshoot! :D
IMPORTANT: Sec 2 guides, pls help to ensure that your class chairman pass your class order list for valentine's latest to Pertina @ 3BN by thurs, tmr and the money by fri during recess. (kindly knock on the door and ask the teacher politely to look for Pertina since you all have different recess timing)
Sec 3 guides, do take the initiative to pass the order form and HELP TO COLLECT/ CHASE AFTER your class ppl who made preorder for the money by fri. Since this is a work assigned to you all, i expect all of you to help the IC/AIC/Treasurer out and split the work evenly. Especially during the wrapping of roses and pumping of helium balloons.
Note to all: if your classmate refused to pay, tell them that their preorder will not be entertain and thus they have to buy on the spot on tues. (there will also not be special wrapping service eg, wrapping into bouquet without preordering) and if they choose to buy on spot, there might be a shortage of roses and balloons.
Sec 1s: Guides Activity would end at 6pm from this activity onwards.
Sec 1s, 2s and 3s: I have CIP work for you all held on 24 March and 1 April. It is a dualthon event and 24 March is to distribute the race kit and 1 April is the actual race event. PLEASE ASK YOUR PARENTS FOR CONSENT since this is not a school based CIP. Interested party pls find Ashley PS on fri after activity.
There will be thinking day rehearsal on 15, 17 and 21 Feb for all to attend. Details will be given again.
