yog opening ceremony 4th rehearsal

On 7/8, Saturday, some of our year3s attended yog opening ceremony 4th rehearsal.

It is an unique opportunity to view the performances at the marina bay float with fellow sister guides and their friends and family members :)

Here are some photos taken at the opening ceremony rehearsal,

Hello guides! here's a post on last week's activity by a year1:)

Last saturday, we had outdoor cooking and initiatives.

Initially, we built structures called fire altars to hold the zinc plates and all the materials for outdoor cooking. The knots had to be tight or else the structures would not be stable.

When the fire altars were ready, we started cooking. The pots or woks or any cooking utensils could be placed on bricks, which had a fire burning between them. We prepared chicken, pizza and instant noodles.

After all the eating and clearing up, we had initiatives in LSP rooms. We learned to bake banana muffins, while the seniors cooked baked potato and the Hakka "abacus". We even learnt how to make ice cream as a patrol. It turned out to be a rather softened version of Macdonald's Mcflurry as out ice melted and it was not cold enough.After initiatives, we ate as a patrol to share what we have prepared.

Saturday was fun and enriching, as I learnt many things I never had the chance to learn.

love guides!:)

Dear guides, here is a post by year2 on saturday's activity:)

Last week, there was no jihe on Friday, but it was on Saturday instead. As the weather went well, Cooking Galore went ahead quite successfully.

We started off with attire check, making sure that we were all in our standard attire. This time, more people were in their standard attire compared to the previous time. We should always remember to come in standard attire as being in the proper attire shows respect for guides.

After that, we were split into three groups to build an indoor fire altar for each group. Throughout the whole process, there were different patrol leaders and patrol seconds assigned to take over the management of the building of the fire altar.

Throughout the building of fire altar, there was a pile of mu left by the side. We should always take the initiative, even to take care of the extra mu even though it may not be yours. After which we split the extra mu amongst the three groups to improvise and stabilize our fire altar.
I think that our attempt at the creative fire altar was quite successful as it was our first time building such a structure and it was quite stable.

We then went on with fire lighting. Our year threes also helped us whenever we encountered difficulties. Outdoor cooking went well and the food was really tasty.

After finishing the food and clearing up, we proceed to the LSP room to have initiatives. The year ones learned to bake banana muffins, year twos learnt to make potato salads and year threes tried on 算盘子. When everything is done, we gather in our patrols again to share the food we’ve made. We then started making our ice cream too. The food was delicious and even though my patrol’s ice cream did not really solidify entirely, we still enjoyed it.

Today was the year 2’s first time leading a patrol but many of us were indulged in our own work, and not making use of the patrol’s manpower well and teaching the year1s as we proceed with the activity. Through this activity, I learnt that we should involve the year ones more, to let them understand what we are doing so that they will gain more and learn more from the activity. Also, I learnt that the distribution of manpower and communication within the patrol is important.

This jihe is a memorable and enjoyable one, with delicious food and lessons learnt.

Jiayou dhscoy :)
