Dear Padlet,

Today is the last day of service learning. We went to West Coast Park to pick up litter from the allocated position given to our class. There were lots of mosquitoes present. Most of us got mosquito bites despite having mosquito patches on our clothes.

We split into small groups and started our route. We were provided with tongs, plastic gloves and trash bags. Initially, there were not much litter present. As we walked further, we found small bits of litter along the pathways and grasses. Some of these litters were plastics, cigarette butts and food wrappers. I think it came from the surrounding areas as there was a small factory workplace. Some of them might have just disposed off their food wrappers after consuming the food. There might be people smoking and carelessly threw the cigarette butts on the patches of grass nearby. They were really inconsiderate.

Later, we met back at the starting position to have a small break. We were advised to move around as there were many insects all around. We proceeded to the barbecue pit for reflection. We were told that we were able to be picked up and go back to school at 11pm but we had to wait until 12pm. The teachers decided to bring us to Macdonald's to have a little break. I managed to get a double chocolate frappucino as the weather was pretty hot. We managed to go to the playground for a short while. I climbed one of the structures in the sand pit. Afterwards, we needed to assemble back at Macdonald's to board the bus. There were squirrels around. Some managed to get balloons from the Macdonald's auntie. The trip back to school was very fast. Within minutes, we reached school already and was given another one-hour break! How lucky! However, we were given tasks to complete. - finishing up the reflection and making the appreciation cards. We were told to be back in class by 2pm.

Dear Padlet,

Today is the second day of Service Learning. We started off by building the tallest structure which is able to withstand wind. We were given masking tape, straws and a balloon. We need to make the structure with the limited resources we were given. It was a test of our creativity and innovation. Although we did not win any prize, I was satisfied with my group's structure. It built up our teamwork.

We were given a thirty-minute break afterwards. We were supposed to assemble back in class. We had to plan on our trip to West Coast Park the next day. We thought about the type of trash we might be picking and some safety measures. We had to make slides and present them to our class by our groups. We were split into four groups. Two of which were suppose to pick up biodegradable rubbish and the other two needed to pick up non-biodegradable trashes.

After planning for some time, we were fortunate enough to have an extra break! We were told to go back to our classroom after the break to continue our discussion. After that, we break up into our groups and did the third reflection of the day. This time we were able to be released earlier. I had a last minute meeting for Open House Language Arts with my Language Arts teacher. It was a very short session. But, there is CCA afterwards. As I have an MC and excused for CCA, I did not participate in the friendly tournament. It was a great joy to watch my friends playing against other school badminton players. I hope I can join them another time.

I need to pack my bag for tomorrow.

Bye!

It has been a long time since I wrote my reflection. Today, we were introduced to Service Learning. The trainer in charge of our class was very nice. We started off by introducing ourselves and giving ourselves a nickname. We played lots of games which reminded me of Secondary One orientation camp! It was a nice experience.

After break, we went back to our classroom. We were supposed to work in groups and present our slides based on the link our trainer gave each of the respective groups. Mine was on mental illness. Afterwards, we were given another link which we were suppose to read through. Later we were split into two groups. - Even numbers and odd numbers.

We formed a circle and discussed on our reflective questions. Our trainer was very engaging and he told us stories and personal recount. We learnt a lot from him. The whole session was till 4pm. We were released from our classrooms and we could go back home.

My friend, Hsu, treat me to Starbucks after the session. There was 1for1 treat. We initially wanted the chocolate chip cream drink or Java chip drink but they ran out of chocolate chip so we had mocha instead :( It was not as good as what I wanted but it was still nice. I am very grateful for the treat :)

I need to have my dinner now!

Bye!

Dear Padlet

This is my first reflection! I have so much to share about today's happenings. Common Test is officially over! We have post-exam activities today! Guess what, it is golf! On our way to the golf course, we realised we left behind another class so we had to turn back and wasted quite some time :(

However, the weather was very cooling and we learned a lot from our gold trainer. Golf is not a very strenuous sport but it is still interesting. I learned what golf stands for. - Gentleman Only Ladies Forbidden. But, our trainer was a female!

The most exciting part was the competition at the end of the session. The girls managed to clinch second! It was then time to go back. I was so tired that I fell asleep in the bus :)

In the afternoon, after watching some videos, I went to take an afternoon nap. It has been so long since I last had an afternoon nap. It was definitely well deserved. I woke up around evening and I went to Westgate with my family and aunt. We had our dinner first. Afterwards, we went shopping at Jems too. I bought a lot of new clothings as a late birthday present. We went to a ice cream shop which we visit often and had Orea Chessecake flavoured ice cream. It was so delicious!

We were feeling so full that we decided to take a walk home. It was already pretty late.

It's time for me to tuck into bed now! Goodnight!

Cheers!

Dear Padlet

Today, there is no school as it is a Saturday! I could wake up any time I like! Yesterday was a really eventful day!

I went out with my family for breakfast. My father introduced us to try the food in the East side. It was delicious! Afterwards, we went to Popular to refill our stationeries and buy some books! We decided to go back home.

The journey back home was long. I had unknowingly fell asleep while looking out of the window. When we reached home, my mum woke me up. It felt like a minute of sleep only!

Since exams are over, there was not much work to be done. I could spend more time playing with my siblings. It has been ages since we last played board games. We tried "Mastermind" first followed be "Clue" I won both games!

At night, we watched interesting videos on Youtube. We learn quite a few fun facts!

It was pretty late already. I need to have my dinner now!

Bye!

Dear Padlet

Today is a fun but tiring Sunday! Since Exams are over, I had more time to sleep. I woke at at 11. I realised it was Mother's Day!

After having a sumptuous lunch, I got ready for my ice skating session from 3-5. It was really fun! However, my leg was hurting from the two-hour skate. I almost had a blister on my foot! However, whenever I think of the cool wind brushing against my face, it brightens me up. I will definitely go ice skating more often!

My water bottle was empty and I was extremely thirsty. I decided to get chocolate milk and orea cookies from Gong Cha. Afterwards, I accompanied my mum, sister and brother to Jems. We had out dinner there!

We went home to rest after a little shopping. My legs were very sour. I took a quick shower and watched "The Maze Runner" on Chanel 5.

My eyelids are about to close. It's time for me to go to bed. Tomorrow, I will be receiving back my Common Test papers! I hope that my marks are not too bad.

Cheers!

Dear Padlet

Today we got back most of our Common Test results. There were a few A but I hope History would not be bad.

School ended at 2:40 and afterwards, there was house meeting. I am in Red House!

I had a meet-up with some of my primary school friends for lunch. It was great seeing them again! We might be in different schools but we are still very close. We plan to meet-up again in late June after we come back from our overseas trip!

I reached home at around 4 plus. I was very tired and took a short nap after watching some youtube videos.

However, my throat was hurting and I kept coughing. It was really tiring and painful. I had to take horrible tasting medicines! YUCK! I really hope it would recover soon!

The medicine makes me really drowsy. After I watch my television, I will go to sleep at 11.

Goodbye!

Dear Padlet

Today, we received the rest of our Common Test papers. I am quite satisfied with my overall results. Finally, I no longer need to worry and stress over Common Test results. It's time for a well-deserved break!

I cannot wait for the arrival of holidays! I will be going overseas for 10 days! I am also excited for the rest of the post-exam activities planned for us!

Today is a very typical day. I hope my parents would be satisfied with my results.

Bye!
