Student Leaders' Camp (Part 1)

On the 4th-5th September, I went for a student leaders' camp. It was a 2 day 1 night camp. On the 1st day, all the student leaders gathered in the canteen. After all the allocation of rooms, we then set off to Temasek Secondary School.

When we got there, we were divided to different groups and settled down . There were 15 groups in total and some of the pupils were from Temasek Primary School, which was just next door.

We started off with a game called 'concentration'. We were supposed to say our own name and then say another person's name. After the game, we heard somebody tell ghost stories before going to the canteen to eat lunch.

Group 7, 8 and 9 went to play a game called," Save the egg". Each team was given an egg, some newspaper and bundles of straw and the prefects told us that we must make sure the egg must not break when dropped from the 2nd floor. Our team first wrapped our egg with masking tape all over, then we cushioned the egg with some straw and lastly, we wrapped it up with a pad of newspaper. When all our teams were ready, we watched as the eggs went flying down from the 2nd floor . When they landed onto the hard ground, we all rushed to the crash scene to see whether our eggs broke. My team's egg was the only one that didn't break!

We then went up to the 3rd floor to play a game called ,' mouse pads' . There were 3 marked out squares, 1 square for each team. In each square, there were 50 mouse pads labeled 1 to 50 and scattered around. Each time, 1 teammate from 1 team had to jump on mouse pad no. 1. After stepping onto the mouse pad, he or she had to jump out of the box. The next teammate had to jump on mouse pad no.2 and jump out again and the cycle goes on and on. The first team to finish jumping onto all the mouse pads wins the game! My team came in the last!{:(

We then went all the way back to the canteen to have our break, which was egg sandwich or sausage roll and a cup of Milo. We then headed back to the hall to play another game called 'organise'. Each team had to plan a June holiday. Each team was given $200 to rent a location, buy food and facilities. Once we had finished, we had to draw a brochure to invite some people to come to the party.The group which successfully invited the most people to come, wins.

After the game, we took the coach back to our own school. I was sad to leave Temasek Secondary School, but it was good that I had learnt some new things and made new friends.
