Hello guides :) here are some of the pictures taken during initiatives. Enjoy :D

love guides :)

hello!(:

On tuesday, we had initiatives and i chose basketball. :D
There were a few basketball players who taught us the basics of playing basketball. First we did warm up. After that we were taught how to dribble the ball properly. Next, we were split up into groups of five where we practised different types of passing like chest pass, bounce pass and overhead pass. After that we had to dribble the ball and try to shoot. It was great as we managed to master the basic skills and also get to know each other better. :D

After learning these basic skills, we played a proper basketball match. (: This allowed us to practise what we have learnt. Also, we had to work together as a team. This helped us to become more bonded. (:

Overall it was a wonderful experience and i'm sure all of us had a lot of fun. :D

Hello guides. :)

Yesterday we had initiatives during jihe. There were four sports to be chosen from and they were mainly soccer, volleyball, netball and basketball. It was a pleasure to have coaches/seniors/teacher-in-charge from the different sports group in our school to teach us the basics of each sport.

I chose netball for initiative as i wanted to try something new. We had the senior high netball team coach to teach us during the two hrs and i believe it was a fun and fruitful time with her. She started by teaching us the names of the diff parts of the court, and we played a no. of games which eventually taught us skills like passings and footwork. Then, she introduced us to the different roles of the players and their positions. However, due to the moving back, there wasn't any goal post at the mt.sinai campus. Hence, we had to play the game like captain's ball, applying netball rules at the same time.

During this time, we learnt many things like teamwork and team spirit. Although the group of us made many mistakes throughout the whole activity, I am glad to see the perseverance in us that kept us going and improving ourselves each time.

Overall, i believe that it was a wonderful experience to learn new skills together and at the same time, get a chance to bond with other guides. I hope that as we learnt to have great teamwork during our games, we have learnt to have great teamwork in guides too as we work together to keep the guiding light shining. One for all, all for one.

Guides is love.

Hello :D

Yesterday we had our last initiatives of the year. We are allowed to choose from soccer, netball, volleyball and basketball. There are coaches to teach us the skills for each sports and we learned a lot through these activities and also had fun through the interactions (:

I chose volleyball as my initiative and we had a coach to teach us the basic skills for the game of volleyball. Mr Tay was also there to help out (: We were taught of skills like digging and serving which are important in the game of volleyball. We were divided into pairs and given some time to practice those skills. The coach was also there to correct the mistakes we made. It was overall quite an enriching experience as we get to bond together and also learn some new techniques at the same time.

After practicing those skills the coach wanted us to divide ourselves into pairs and play a 2 vs 2 match. The game is a combination of volleyball and tennis. The ball needs to touch the floor once before we are able to dig it over. We had a lot of fun cheering for one another and also put our skills into test.

This time is a very different initiative from the previous one we had. I enjoyed myself a lot and I am sure many of us had fun too (:
