"12/8 Guides Meeting! :)"

Friday, August 12, 2011 [ 22:16 ]

We started off with today’s training with role call and colour party. :)
The PLs then helped the juniors to adjust their attire, as some of them looked messy.

After that, we headed for 1G classroom to conduct our activities there.
We arranged the tables and got cracking.
PLs went to check their members’ thrift book. Much more improvement as compared to last week's progress, but there's more room for improvements.

Ms Huda instructed the PLs to pass her all of the members' thrift book for a spot check.
She then suggested that we standardize the format of our thrift book by patrols... PATROL SPIRIT! :)

After that, we were told of some important dates. (Will be updating later in the previous post!)
East Division Day is coming, wheeeeeeee! :)

Then, we gave our handbooks to Ms Huda, to let her know our progress.

We were then graded groups by groups:
1. Sec 1s to work on their 5-point programme, I think (sorry I wasn't there!)
2. A few Sec 2s and 3s to finish up the remaining modules.
3. Geraldine, Aqilah, Limin, Yi Xuan, Melanie and I to learn knots! (What I call the Knotters) [Oh by the way, that's for the Knotter Badge]
4. Some of the Guides learnt how to sew. Tacking and herringbone.

The only update I know is that the Sec 1s have to finish their household chore assignments with photos and a few write ups from parents! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

Some of the Guides have to work on the ASEAN assignment.

The Knotters then proceeded to the Guides room to grab some poles, twine and knot books to learn and revise on our knots.
We then proceeded to learn our knots. Learning knots was actually FUN, if you're determine to learn it. HEHE! :D

Knots we're supposed to learn for Knotter's Badge:
bowline, clove-hitch, donkey hitch, double overhand, fisherman’s, man harness, packer’s reef, round turn and two half hitches, sheet-bend, timber hitch.

Okay, so there'll be a test on knots next week for all Sec 2s and 3s! So good luck people and learn your knots! :)

After doing all of the 5-point programme and proficiency badges stuff, we came to the fun part.
TOY MAKING USING FELT PAPER! :)

First, we were asked to choose our colour of felt paper. Well, I took the maroon colour and shared it with Mubeena, Elizabeth and Kthi.
We then were asked to tear out a paper from our exercise book, and outline an monster that we desire. Highlight of the day: MapleStory characters! :D
I drew Mushroom, I helped Eli to draw a Slime and Kthi's a zombie (well, there's a zombie in Maple, you know, the way to Zakum there, you can kill zombies and get some golden tooth and stuff). Well, Gerry and XK drew a mushroom, Melanie drew a slime. :)
Well, the exceptional part is where I drew a Pac Man for Mubeena. HEHE.
We then cut out the monster and drew the outline on the felt paper (double layerd)
We then cut the felt and starting sewing the eyes (buttons) and mouth (different coloured felt paper) onto it (single layered). It was fun to learn to make our own toys and sew at the same time. :D

Then, we sew the second layer of felt paper onto the first layer. But, only sew a third quarter of it as we have to stuff the cotton wool (or rather, crepe paper) into it to make it PLUSH! :D

So I started sewing and stuffed cotton wool and crepe paper into my mushroom... And then I continue to sew the whole thing until it is sealed.
WHEEEEEEE, TADAH, your felt-monster-toy is completed!!! :)
Everyone's felt toys looked awesome and uber cute.
(Well, you know, mushrooms and my hair is associated)

So after that we cleared the classroom and headed back for the Guides room to sing taps.
We were then dismissed. :)
We did not go home empty handed, YAY! :)

Note:
Breaking Fast with Ms Huda next Friday! :D [19/8]
We will go to Kembangan and makan first (they break fast at around 7.17PM, and wanna leave at around 7.45PM). After that, we'll proceed to Geylang and play and eat. WHEEEEEEEE. The whole thing will end around at 9PM.

So please confirm your attendance.

That's all! :D
