Hey hey,

As Project Week coming closer and closer, we are doing some research for the areas we’re going to visit. It’s really diverse, as we’re not staying in one place, but moving constantly. It’s going to be a very intense experience, because we will be constantly moving from place to place, project to project.

We have both service and activity aspects within the trip, however, the activity dominates.

This is the outline of our week:

27 May – Monday: arrival and transfer to the Bohol Islands. Start to prepare for kayaking and also engage with the local community.

28 May – Tuesday: Paddle to Mangrove Rehabilitation sire for Mangrove Education program. We will collect mangrove wilding, construct mangrove nursery and also replant some mangroves too

29 May – Wednesday: We are paddling to middle Abatan River, where we will engage with the local community and help to construct shelter materials for them.

30 May – Thursday: Paddle to upper Abatan River, where we will help to the local NGO with refurbishment. Then we will return to yesterday’s camp.

31 May – Friday: Coming back to Singapore.

I believe that during this trip, we will have the chance to explore Learning Outcome 3 (demonstrate and initiate a CAS experience), LO 5 (demonstrate the skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively, and LO6 (demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance.

LO3 Initiative and plan an experience – Middle School Drama

From season 2 I’m participating in the 3rd – 5th grade drama production process. The idea is largely in an experimental status right now, both the teachers and us (Grade 11 mentors) are just trying to figure it out how and what could work, because neither of us have done anything like this before.

We are working with approximately 60 students and after the warming ups ( which is run by the teachers ) we have to guide them how to put on their own little production. We have 15 in one groups and we can ‘do whatever we want’. At the first occasion, it was slightly uncomfortable as with the new freedom we didn’t have any plan how to do things, we had to look totally confident while we were coming up with the next move and activity at that moment.

Even though, it can be intimidating sometimes, it’s super interesting and fun to learn how to cooperate with younger students, try to make this experience the best for them and see how much we are able to create together.
