This week we formed our own parliament. We brainstormed some possible government ministers, and chose roles. We then thought about a bill we could pass as that minister to improve our school. We wrote persuasive letters and prepared a speech to present our bills in parliament next week. Meet our cabinet: Ministers of Justice: Aki and Vishrut Ministers of the Environment: Linda and Celine Minsters of Education: Chisa and Kajsa Ministers of Law: Seheon, Liam and Storm Ministers of Transportation: Peter and Joshua Ministers of Defence: Sota and Shotaro Ministers of Manpower: Shu, Tomoki and Daichi Ministers of Infrastructure: Shui and Caroline Minister of Health: Isaiah This week the Grade 4 and Grade 5 students went to a camp in Bintan where they built two safe water gardens for the local community and took part in a lot of fun, adventurous activities. To find out more about our experiences, please read our individual reflections. Check back soon for more photos and videos. This week was the Grade 4 and Grade 5 camp in Bintan. We took 2 hours to reach the dock in Bintan. We also needed to take a 45 minute or 1 hour bus to reach Loola.
Safe Water Garden We had to give our teachers our $20 so we could use it to make the safe water garden. We all had to help the people who needed clean water to plant their chilis. When we were done, we went back on the bus to the camp. The Creepy Part At night, a few boys went to the creepy house on the way to the toilet. Seheon thought he saw a monster. Seheon saw a paining of a lion and that mouth opened. Then in the morning the lion's mouth was closed. When I was coming back from the toilet with Seheon, I saw a red light coming from the trees. Then we ran back to the room and to our beds. Fun Things Some fun things that I did were: Rock climbing was cool, but I got scared because there was not a lot of space. Also I got to make pizza with Justin, Chaitanya and Liam. The man showed us how to make it and we put lots of things on the pizza. When we took a photo, Liam put powder on the pizza. Then the pizza burnt. We at it. I hope to go to Loola with my family and do lots of things there and I wish I could go again and again to Loola. It felt good to help the people make the safe water garden. This week we went to Loola camp and did some fun activities, like adventurous activities and some so cool activities. I was so excited before I played some of the activities but sadly I couldn't play the flying fox because that time my stomach was very painful.
My favourite activities were the boom netting, sky walk, safe water garden and pizza making. My best was the sky walk, because I was scared at all. I felt it was so fun! It felt so exhilarating when I did it. It was a bungee jump. The coconut tree and the rock climbing was too easy. I should go to the next level. I think I should have done the flying fox. First we worked together on the safe water garden. Next we did boomnet, kayak and dragon boat. Then we did rock climbing and flying fox. We looked forward to the coconut tree climbing and lastly we enjoyed the sky walk. In conclusion, the camp was fun. The campfire was fun too but it was too hot for me. This week we went to Loola Camp in Bintan with Grade 4 students and Grade 5 students. We built a safe water garden and did some fun adventure activities. My camp was great!
I was in Group 2. At the first day I did coconut tree climbing, skywalk and pizza making. First we did coconut tree climbing, but it was a lot easier than the rock climbing because I can even climb by hugging the tree. The rock climbing was harder because it was flat and the place to grab was so small. It was hard. Next we did sky walking. It is a thing that first you climb a ladder and jump and when you jump to the ground you feel like running on the sky. Finally we made pizza. Our team was Rintaro, Lisa, me and Shui. Our pizza was very good because of the cheese and everything. I really want to eat again. On the next day we did water activities and safe water garden. On the water activities we did flying fox, boom netting, kayaking. Flying fox is a thing that first you jump from a high place and lad at a pool of water. Next the boom netting is first you ride on a boat. Next there is a net beneath you and you jump into the net. Finally the kayaking is a thing that you have a boat and an oar. And you go with the oars. I felt it was fun, because it will be your arm exercise. Finally, we did the safe water garden. The safe water garden is to make water safe. The gray water from washing is used for the plants. Beneath the plant you put stone and sand. That way the water you use for cooking and washing dishes will be clean. I liked it because you get lots of muscles, but your shoes will get dirty! The Loola camp was very great and awesome!!! I hope that I can go again and do kayaking. This week, Grade 4 and Grade 5 went to Bintan. We did a lot of fun activities. We also built safe water garden for local families.
Ferry I played UNO with my friends when we go and came back. When I go, I sat with Odrita, Linda, Shu, Vishrut and Storm. When I came back, I sat with Shui and Rintaro. Safe water garden We built a safe water garden. The hardest part was when we used a saw to cut the pipe. The funniest part was when we used a drill to make a hole in a pipe. Activities We did coconut tree climbing, sky walk, rock climbing, flying fox, boomnet, kayaking and dragon boating. Flying fox was like a zip line. I touched the water at the end. Conclusion It was a very fun week! I want to go to Loola again! really liked it! Between 8th October to 10th October, I and the G4s and G5s went to Camp Loola in Bintan. We did many fun activities including the SkyWalk and most I was scared of. Bintan was very fun and exciting for me!
When we first went onto the ferry to Bintan, I was very excited for Bintan. We had many exciting fun times on the ferry to Bintan including when it started to move very fast and when I saw Bintan. The Ferry was about 1-2 hours. When we arrived at the Loola Camp by the bus, we had to wait a while and I chose a seat for lunch time. They gave us dish bags to wash when we are done eating and utensils before lunch. When we got lunch, it was like a buffet but I was fine with it, but the worst thing is that they kept it out for a very long time and flies flew around it. After we ate lunch, G4 and G5 including me went doing the activities. I was in Ms Tilney and Ms Adamberry’s group which was Group 4. On the first day we did Safe Water Garden building which was very fun and exciting and on the second day we did the Rock Climbing and the high Flying Fox Zipline. On the second day we also did kayaking, dragon sailing and boom-netting! On the last day we then did coconut tree climbing and the very tall scary SkyWalk. After we did the coconut tree climbing and skywalk we went back and changed to school uniforms and packed our things. Then we waited outside at the carpark area for the buses to come. Ms Vaughan told us to go to the toilet too. On the Ferry going back to Singapore we ate lunch and bananas and I talked to the Singapore Bintan advisor that came with us and made comics for her to read. Her name is Rebecca. When we got off the ferry I was very happy that I was back in Singapore but the worst part of going out is the Immigration because i had to go to the normal people's Immigration instead of the school Immigration. I had a very fun time and wonderful time in Bintan! My favourite part of the camp is meeting my family again too! This week the Grade 4 and 5 students went to Loola camp in Bintan!
Safe water garden We rode the bus and we went to the house and we dug the rocks and we put it in the big hole. We sweat a lot! At break time we ate some snacks and sweet drinks! It was tasty! When the break finished we put the pipe inside and we dug the soil. We sweat a lot again! Activities We did…….. Sky walk Coconut tree climbing kayaking Boom-net Rock climbing And Zip-lining! My favorite one was………… Zip-lining! We went to the top and we jumped up and we went to the ground. But there was a big swimming pool and we get wet! Conclusion The camp was F U N! Because we did some really really fun activities! I didn’t said yet but the morning breakfast was really tasty too! This week grade 4 and 5 went to Bintan Loola. We made a safe water system for the local community. We did some fun activities too! The activity I liked the most was the sky walking because i was a bit afraid but I still did it.It took us a long time to get there, 1h and 45min, on the slow ferry. The bus was a 45 min ride. I hate long rides. We arrived.
I will first tell you about the first night. Me and Linda went to the bathroom at night. then, we saw some of the boys following us. When we went back Linda flashed a light behind a rock and we saw Justin and Storm hiding. it was so funny! The activity i liked the most was sky walking, because it was so scary but Lisa said it was fun and all the girls were cheering for me and i did not want to let them down. I jumped from an around 10 meter high log. The girls said i jumped down gracefully. Me and kajsa were the fastest at kayaking. We won the race even when we were in pairs and others were in eights. We won with eight too. What i liked the least was the food washing dishes, and putting on sun block and mosquito spray. Overall, camp at Bintan, Loola, was great. I liked it a lot. I want to do it again maybe next year. By the way, i got around 10 mosquito bites and i am super tired. |
