NYAA Service

31 October 2007
Hours Completed: 4hrs
Participants: Yi Wei

The objective of the visit to the Spastic Children Association School was to play with the children again.

However, due to our punctuality, we reached about an hour before the games sessions started. Thus we were given administrative work to do. Such as the manual shredding of paper coz the automatic shredder was spoilt. We also did some sorting of papers for the school.

After that we went to classroom 11B to play with the children. We were split into 2 groups, one group, played monopoly (junior) with half the class while the other group played UNO with the remaining half. After a while, we swapped.

In conclusion, we enjoyed ourselves, and I am sure that the children enjoyed themselves too. We gained valuable experience and we feel sorry for the less fortunate children.

P.S. Sir Zhan Liang owes me 15 cents. joking lol.

2. You have attended most of the campcraft sessions so that you are able fill up enough pages in your diary for the skills section. {At least 5 sessions.} Check the number of sessions you have attended by checking the participants list on the campcraft POSTS, if your name is there, you have attended.
3. You have attended either the sec 3 camp, CSSP/OBS, or ATC. So for people like Samuel who attended NONE, forget it.
4. You must be sincere when asking for help.

NYAA campcraft

25 October 2007
Hours completed: 2.5 hrs
Participants: Yi Wei, Yongwei, Yock Siong, Jervin, Sakib, Jun Han, Walter(WAS NOT THERE), Azhri

Today, we taught the sec 2s and some Sec 1s and 2s cadets from NCC (land) how to tie the 8 basic knots:
Thumb knot, slip knot, clove hitch, figure of eight, bow line, reef knot, ship shank, sheet bend.
These knots are easy for most of us, but for the NCC cadets who did not learn campcraft before, they seemed to be of some challenge. By teaching them the knots, we could also revise on our campcraft skills.

Luckily the sec2s had learnt 6 out of the eight knots before, and thus could enhance our teaching by guiding the NCC cadets when needed.
The cadets learnt the first 6 knots quite quickly, however, for the remaining 2, they were of a slightly higher difficulty and thus more time and effort was required before the cadets managed to tie the knot without our PROFESSIONAL HELP.

Hours Completed: 3hrs

The objective the visit to the Spastic Children Association School was to play with the mentally disabled children there.

The sec 2s, together with the sec 3s mentioned above, helped to train the mental power of the Spastic children there by playing interactive games such as UNO, some wierd monkey game, etc. These games seemed simple and easy for most of us who could play the games without much effort, however, for these disabled children, it needed a great amount of skill and physical ability in order to carry out the required task in the game in a given amount of time.

All in all, both us, the volunteers, and the children there had great time, and we enjoyed ourselves.

P.S.
-The main people who played the games were the sec 2s (slack job)
-The sec 3s had to make sure that the game went smoothly and help to solve any problems or obstacles faced. (tougher job)

NYAA Service

22 October 2007
Hours completed: 3hrs
Participants: Yi Wei, Yongwei, Andy

Today, the three sec 3s accompanied six sec 2s to the Spastic Children Association Singapore to teach the scouts there how to perform certain campcraft skills, in this case, we taught them campcraft.

First, the 9 of us were split up such that each of us had a buddy which we could teach the skills to.
We taught them, 5 out of the 8 basic knots. Thumbknot, slip knot, reef knot, clove hitch, figure of eight.
This task of teaching them was not easy, this is so as they were slower in learning the steps to tie the knots and also, some of them could not control their hand movements properly which resulted in them being unable to tie the knots quickly. But in the end, most of them managed to learn at least 4 out of the 5 knots. We also managed to gain valuable experience through the teaching of these mentally disabled children.
While teaching the children, we also could revise on the tying of various basic knots.

P.S. I LEARNT HOW TO TIE MONKEY FIST!!! CAN USE TO HUNT ANIMALS LIKE DONKEYS!!!!
