Hello guides!

There was skills training on Friday. We were given half an hour to build four kitchen shelters in total. However, we did not complete it in time and had to ask for a total of 25 minutes time extension. This was rather inacceptable as a kitchen shelter does not require so much time to be completed. Hence, we had to pump for it. As this was the first few jihes after our long break for EOY, many people were unable to pump standard and this was rather disappointing.

Next, we practiced to start the fire with the yuanzilu and yuanzila. We were given 2 eggs per patrol and told to boil them in the mess tins. We had some trouble lighting up the fire at first as many matches were wet but we finally managed to get the fire up when we got the new matches. After our eggs were cooked, we had to clear up and dao the kitchen tent.

We then had PT after cleaning up. We moved around the school in 2 patrols going to each station. We were also told to take good care of our eggs as the patrol which has both eggs intact at the end of PT gets a prize. The first station that my patrol went to was where we had to flip the UNO cards until we found a pair that matched. Meanwhile, we had to ding in boy’s style while one person goes up to flip at one time, for 10 minutes. As we did not have PT for a long time, many people were unable to ding standard for more than a few minutes. After 5 minutes, we changed to leg raise.

At our second station, we had to form words using alphabets from A-F and doing pumping accordingly, 1 for A, 2 for B and so on. At the same time 2 people from each patrol had to wheelbarrow back and forth.

Our last station was at the track. We were required to run non-stop for 10 minutes around the track at our own pace, then do 25 sit ups.

After PT, we had debrief where we learnt where we could improve, especially for ATC which is just round the corner. Drinks were given to all the patrols as a great improvement could be seen from the start of jihe and also to encourage all of us to work harder :)

Jiayou to all for ATC!

Love guides :)
