For activity next Wednesday, we will be having a craft making session for the Gardens by the Bay - River of Life project. Below is a picture of what we will be making:
 |
| Green - Souring pad leaf, Orange -Felt/Fabric cloth leaf |
As a school, we are required to submit 800 of these handmade leaves for an exhibition. Therefore, each patrol will be given 2 hours during the activity on Wednesday to contribute 100 leaves. [100 leaves/patrol].
Do remember to write your patrol name & CCHMS Guides 2013 on each of the leaf that your patrol contributes. This will allow visitors to the exhibition to identify the leaves that you made! You should label it on the side facing upwards as the leaves will be placed on a hammock and the lower side of the leave will not be seen.
As a patrol, please bring the following:
- 100 pieces of Felt cloth or Scrap cloth (do note that if the cloth are flimsy, you would have to sew two cloths together) or 100 pieces of scouring pad from used dish-washing sponge. Scouring pad refers to the thin, rough green portion of dish-washing sponges.
