Reflection for activity on 29 January!!

On Friday, after role call, coy 1 will be drilling first and coy 2 had to clean the guides room. We had to make sure the guides room was dust-free thus we used wet wipes to clean the cupboards and shelves. Then, we had to think of ways to renovate the guides room. At around 4.30pm, coy 1 and 2 swapped so coy 1 cleaned the guides room and coy 2 drilled. After some time of drilling, coy 2 formed a horseshoe formation so that those who didnt get their badge last week will get it on Friday. After that, we continued drilling. The seniors told us our mistakes and we had to improve our drilling so that we would do well for drilling badge. Lastly we learned the world song. However not everyone was singing.

World song

And see our flag on high

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 loved the true and good,
Whose promises were kept
With humble minds whose acts were kind
Whose honour never slept
Those 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


Please learn it by Wednesday !! :-))
