Hello Guides :)
East Division Day was held at our school yesterday. We were informed in the morning that one of the Senior High blocks which we intended to use was not available. Hence, we had to arrange the tables over at the other neighbouring block the same way we did on Friday. Then, we moved around to help out the seniors by cleaning up the classrooms, pasting up signboards and etc.
As it was heard that the guides at the hall needed help for decoration, some of us went over when we were free. Decorations were done and that there was a problem with the fans and air-conditioners which was solved quickly. Those guides who were available at that moment had to usher the guides and brownies up as they had been waiting for some time at the parade square.
East Division Day officially started after all the schools had arrived and settled down. We had Stephanie and Xin Yi as our emcees for the day. The atmosphere was a little down initially but it eventually got better :) We had a singing session and sang songs like the "Cannibal King", "Gako the Frog", "Father Abraham has Seven Children" and "Ging Gang Goolie" together with the dance for it :D
As it approached somewhere around 9AM, we practised the Adiji Yell so as to welcome the Guest of Honour afterward. The Guest Of Honour soon arrived and we welcomed her with our voices :) She gave us a short speech before everyone was split up to go for their respective competitions at the different venues of the school.
We were supposed to return to the hall by 12PM but some of us reached earlier. While we were waiting, we were told to go over to the Senior High Block to help out with the clearing up. When we were done, we ran over to the Junior High Block to help out too. After which, we proceeded to the hall and had the Prize Presentation. It's great to see that we achieved 4 prizes out of the 8 competitions we participated in, with 3 of which being gold and 1 being silver :D! Congratulations guides!
Brownie Bells and Guides Taps were sung and the schools left the hall quickly so that cleaning up of the area could be carried out. Later, we were given around forty minutes (till 2PM) for a snack-cum-lunch break.
There was more arranging of tables and clearing up after our break, and we were also split into different areas to do things like combing the area to pick up the litter and more.
Lastly, Year 3s and Yals evaluated the Year 1s and 2s on our performance today. I am sure all of us learn something from them and hopefully, we will improve ourselves in the upcoming jihe-s, jiayou! Good job to all for yesterday's EDD! :)
Love Guides (:
