SC Camp 2007

This blog is like practically dead. So, in case you're bored here's something from my blog. (slightly edited)

DAY 1

The SCs got scolded after no one bothered to ask why there were so many different assembly venues. We purposely confused them to see their reactions. Unfortunately, results were as we expected and not so good. Most of them just sat around in the canteen / hall to wait. My welfare juniors were slightly better as they went around asking where the assembly venue was.

After that Clare and I conducted ice-breakers for group 5. We didn't really prepare for our icebreakers so it was quite "cold". But after that they sort of warmed up. They were supposed to do a funny (ask them about the contents) skit but they all ended laughing like hell!

Their game and my brilliant solution *Smirks*

Supposed to pass the ring (of string) through everyone. Josephinethere helping.
Close up!

Then out of desperation, I got them to untie knots while blindfolded. They were doing very well and could have easily untied the knots but they didn't managed to. I tied many many additional knots without them noticing as they were swopping people around. One of them asked, "Why like forever the same ah?" but I pretended not to hear.

In the afternoon, the kids attended workshops & talks by teachers and seniors while we slacked / prepared for Forager's quest / dug earthworms / bought stuff. Jia Min, Clare and Stefan dug worms while DF & I went out to buy breakfast for Day 2 and get durian husks.

When we got back, we ate the durians and the lychees. YADA YADA fast forward to Forager's Quest. It was a violent game. Tsk.

The rainbow that we saw!

And this was what happened during Forager's Quest. !!!

Actually before that Yu Jun was grabbing Chi Kan while I sat on him (CK), but after that I got off him and took this photo:) CK the evil boy tried to steal our balloons! And because of this, Zong Guo (the one nicholas voted for)scratched and tore our whole plastic bag of balloons apart like a crazy feline.

After the Forager's Quest, the group settles down to listen to Stefan's debrief After dinner and wash up, we met up at 7.30pm for evaluation. Here's Jo leading the evaluation while we were away.

After evaluation, they gathered at the hall for a small discussion about the 6 yr structure. This photo and the 2 below were taken by them using my camera.

Yu Jun, Jo, NQ, Zi Qi, Kah Kah, Yuan Long.

Following that was screening of 'Exorcism of Emily Rose'. I brought joanna, jiamin, karen, mdm chan, miss tan and mr gan to the venues for solo night so they could check the venues. It was ok except for the LT and block b and c area, which I thought was very dark.

After the check, I joined the restto watch the movie. Then, we went to respective venues for solo night.

When the activity ended, everyone got back to the hall to vote for their favourite 6 year structure from the various groups.

After that we bathed and went to SC room to sit around until 2am.

DAY 2

Woke up at 6 or so to get ready for PT. Each group was supposed to do 30 crunches, run 3 rounds, do 30 starjumps, 30 sit-ups and 3 cheers. We were 5th because I was quite strict (!) According to their positions (time taken to finish PT), they were to choose their breakfast.

1st: Beehoon with egg & luncheon meat

2nd: Beehoon

3rd: Sandwiches

4th: Biscuits

5th: Cupcakes & Minicakes

6th: Bread

Group 5 slacking while waiting for the faciliators to brief them on station games. This was after breakfast.

Nai Sheng, Clare and I were in charge of Station 3. Participants have to form chinese characters and a selected team member will have to guess the word from the gallery. Wahaha during the game, he got one of the juniors to throw his waterbottle down from the gallery when he was downstairs. And HE CAUGHT IT! Atrocious.

After he went up, Clare threw a pingpong ball up and he caught it AGAIN!
