Three key takeaways from the NCO Module :

1. One key takeaway from the NCO Module is learning how to guide juniors in a positive way. Instead of pointing out mistakes directly, I learnt how to balance corrections with encouragement. This is important because juniors are more willing to listen and improve when they feel supported rather than criticised.

2. Another takeaway is learning how to teach in a clear and structured manner. I learnt that lessons should be planned step by step so that juniors can follow easily. This is important because clear instruction reduces confusion and helps juniors learn faster and more confidently.

3.The final takeaway is understanding the role of confidence and body language when leading others. I learnt that how I stand, speak, and carry myself affects how others respond to me. This is important because confident communication helps me gain respect and ensures my instructions are taken seriously.

3 things I learnt...

I learnt the 5 steps of MOI (Method of Instruction), which are Introduction, Formation, Explanation, Demonstration and Practice. These steps help me conduct lessons in a clear and organised manner so that cadets can understand and learn more effectively.

For the Introduction, I learnt that it is important for me to first introduce myself, explain what the session will be about, and clearly state the objectives of the lesson. This helps cadets know what to expect and prepares them mentally for the activity.

For Formation, I learnt that I must carefully choose a suitable location for training. I need to consider safety, weather conditions, ventilation and visibility. Cadets should not be facing the sun as it affects their focus, and I should always have a backup location prepared in case of bad weather to ensure the lesson can continue smoothly.

1. One thing I felt that I did well from camp is stepping out of my comfort zone during the various activities even though I was quite shy to communicate with the Secondary 1s.

2. One challenging moment for me during the camp was losing my voice the day before camp, making it quite difficult for me to participate in some of the activities, even though I really wanted to take this opportunity to talk to the Secondary 1s.

3. I would like to acknowledge my group for including me and giving me the motivation and energy to participate in different activities even though I was not able to talk throughout the camp because I was sick. I would also like to acknowledge the Secondary 1 students for trying to step out of their comfort zone, even if it was their first time getting to interact with us during their first unit camp.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I learnt about the sandwich method which is used when giving out feedback. It is used by giving positive feedback, followed by constructive feedback and then positive feedback again, such as a word of encouragement to the juniors. This is important as it can help us encourage our juniors to not give up so easily and give them motivation when doing drills or campcraft, allowing them to learn from their mistakes at the same time.

2. I have also learnt about MOI (methods of instructions). First, we start off with an introduction, by giving our juniors a brief introduction of who we are and what we are going to learn during the session. Formation is also very important when giving out instructions to our juniors, ensuring that they are comfortable, safe, and have enough ventilation for them to focus on the instructions. Next, we give them an explanation on why we are having that session to teach them campcraft, for example, explaining the use of different knots and how we can apply them in our daily lives. After that, we demonstrate what we explained to our juniors, giving them a much more clear understanding of what we are learning. Lastly, we should give them some time to practice by themselves so that they know how to execute their drills/tying of knots, so that we know how to help them if they have any problems. It is important to have the juniors' full attention when we are giving out instructions so that they are clear on what to do for the day.

3. Lastly, I have learnt about the importance of communication, which falls between verbal and non-verbal communication. Verbal communication can refer to our tone, such as our confidence when speaking. Non-verbal communication can refer to our body language, such as gestures and eye contact. This is important when giving our juniors an impression of ourselves when we talk to them for the first time.

I did well in stepping out of my comfort zone by participating more actively in group activities and discussions, even when I felt a bit shy at first.
A challenging moment for me was during one of the physically tiring activities, where I felt exhausted and wanted to give up, but I pushed through and completed it with my group
I would like to acknowledge my group mates.They were very supportive and encouraging, especially during difficult activities. I noticed how they motivated each other and made sure no one was left behind.

Identify THREE key takeaways (and explain why each is important) from the NCO Module today.

1. I learnt how to give feedback to my juniors. by using the sandwichmethod, which is a constructive comment in between two positive comments. This way, I can give my juniors the required feedback without them feeling bad about themselves.

2. I also learnt about Method Of Instruction, also known as MOI which are: introduction, formation, demonstration, explain, and practice. This way, my juniors will be able to better understand what I teach them

3. Lastly,I learnt how important communication is, be verbal or non-verbal. I have to stand straight, be confident, and loud. this way, people will better listen to me and respect me when I teach them something.

Identify THREE key takeaways (and explain why each is important) from the NCO Module today.

1. I learnt about how teamwork is very important for being a cadet leader. Working togeter as a team helps to get a job done quickly, think of more ideas and helps us to learn new skills from each other.

2. I also learnt about the steps of MOI, Introduction, Formation, Explanation, Demonstration and Practice. Introduction, always introduce ourselves and what we are going to do for the session before teaching the juniors. Formation, we need to check for safety and weather. Explanation, always explain what the drill/knot/lashing is used for. Demonstration, always demonstrate how to do what u are teaching before asking the juniors to try. Practice, always give time for juniors to practise on their own.

3. I also learnt about verbal and non-verbal comunication. When communicating verbally always look out for tone. When communicating non-verbally look out for body language and eyecontact

# data[].attributes.body
1. One thing i learnt is the MOI acronym, Introduction, formation demonstration, explanation and practise. Using the acronym to plan training sessions for the juniors in the future. Introduction, to introduce yourself, what you are going to do today and set some ground rules for the session today. Formation, how everyone is standing, the cadets should be able to see the instructor clearly. demonstration, we should demonstrate clearly and slowly, to allow cadets to understand better, we can explain. Explanation, we should explain the importance of the thing we are doing. Practise, allowing the cadets to practise what the have learnt until they fully understand.

2. I learnt the positive sandwich method, which goes from a positive comment to a constructive criticism and then another positive comment. this would motivate the cadets be it while they are doing drills or camp craft, but still giving them something they can improve on to better themselves.

3. I have learnt the importance in being confident and holding eye contact when talking, being loud and clear for the people on the back to hear. I'll need to engage everyone and catch everyone's attention, in order to be able to properly teach what I want them to learn and they must be able to remember as well.

1. One memorable experience I remember during ATC is participating in fire starting with people from different schools. Fire starting was a lot harder than I expected it to, and I had to repeat multiple tries to ignite the kinder.

2. One challenging moment I experienced during ATC was when my group was tasked with building a shelter using spars and twines. With minimal materials to build a proper structure, it was hard to come up with a plan for the build. However we were able to take inspiration from existing nearby buildings and build something similar to them. Although the final structure was not very stable, our group was able to learn much about shelter building.

One thing that went well was I got to know people from other schools and learnt more about them as they shared their own experiences in NPCC as well. Through this we learnt more about other schools and improved out own resilience and adaptability. One challenge I faced was it was hard for me to not give in to the heat and how far we had to walk but with my friends with me, we made each other laugh and that helped us to push through and complete the hikes. A group of people that helped me were my close friends. They cheered me up when I was gonna give up and distracted me from the negatives. Instead,in the end we had fun and learned a lot as well.

1. A positive moment from the camp was

how smoothly my group communicated. Everyone was willing to listen, contribute, and help one another. Because of that, we were able to work well together and stay united throughout the camp.

2. A challenge I experienced was preparing for the campfire performance. We didn’t have enough time to rehearse, and we also struggled to come up with a cheer that everyone was confident to say. Many of us, including myself, felt nervous about performing in front of others. Even with the stage fright and the anxiety, we pushed through because we supported each other as a team.

3. The people I want to recognise are the Sec 3s. They put in a huge amount of effort to organise this camp and took care of us despite being tired themselves. On the last day, when there wasn’t enough bread for breakfast, they gave their portions to the juniors instead. Their selflessness, resilience, and dedication really stood out to me, and I truly admire and appreciate everything they did.

There was only one shower head and we had 30 minutes for eight people to shower,so we had to take turns using the shower head or use pails to shower. It was uncomfortable and a bit stressful,but we managed by helping each other and staying patient.

3. One person I want to acknowledge is Samikha.She always took the initiative to lead activities,and even though I arrived a day late,I could see that the team really listened to her and followed her lead. I would also like to acknowledge my whole group for being cooperative and supportive throughout the camp,which made everything run more smoothly and enjoyable.

1. One thing that went well during camp was that we all had lots of fun during the campfire and we managed to make many good memories. Everyone was cheering very loudly and everyone was having lots of fun supporting their friends.

2. One challenging moment was when I had really bad stomach pain on the second day of camp. I was having difficulties moving around but the maams told me to sit out and looked out for me and the others that were sick.

3. A group of people I would like to acknowledge are the sec 3s. They planned the camp very well and took care of all of us. They were also understanding as when some of us had stomach aches they let us sit out and only take part in activities that did not require us to move around much. They were also very attentive. My group leaders kept checking up on us and asking if we needed anything.

1. One thing that went well during the camp is the communication I had with my group. Initially, I was a bit scared of whether I would be able to get along with my group. However, my group bonded really well with one another and they made everyone feel seen and heard.

2. One challenging moment I faced during camp was the campfire performance. We were a bit unprepared as we didn't have enough time to practice and get our whole performance ready. However, thanks to my group and the support they gave to one another, we were able to push through it.

3. A group of people I would like to acknowledge is the Sec 3s. The mams really worked hard to put together this camp for us and sacrificed so much for us. During the last day of camp, there wasn't enough bread for breakfast. So the mams decided to give the bread to their juniors and they didn't eat it. I was really touched by their sacrifice and I really affirm them for that. Moreover, I also saw the mams constantly giving their best even though they were tired and I affirm their resilience and determination.

Qn 1: One thing I believe I did well this camp would be my communication.With more group oriented activities communication was definitely key.Through the activities, I have learnt to speak up and voice up my ideas and opinions which has allowed me to engage in meaningful conversation with my group mates.

Qn 2: One challenge I face was time management.When we were given the task to come up with a performance for camp, my group and I struggled to come up with an idea and come up with a performance.However after much discussion among ourselves we were able to compromise and come up with a performance we were satisfied with!

Qn 3: I would to command the sec 3s and sec1s in my group.From what I have seen the sec1s were very outgoing and mostly took the initiative to step up and take lead.I would to command them for stepping out of their comfort zone and helping out whenever and wherever they could.I would also like to command the sec 3s for leading this years unit camp.They have worked hard to put together this camp and their hard work has surely not gone to waste.I want to command them for their tenacious behaviour and for being a role model for all of us.

One thing that went well was that I was able to get along with my group mates. Initially, we were all very quiet and kept to ourselves however we started to warm up and eventually got along. I feel like we really bonded with the sec 1s during the unit camp and got to form beautiful memories.

One challenge was that I could not really sleep both the nights due to the hard floor and unfamiliar environment. I kept waking up at intervals which resulted in me waking up the next morning very tired. However I feel like I got a bit more sleep the 2nd day than the first as I was worn out from the campfire.

I would like to acknowledge my group mates for stepping out of their comfort zone interact with each other. we worked well together and it is because of them that we managed to do well for the campfire performance and win best group.

1. I felt that I did very well bringing my groupmates together to do the activities and campfire prep together :) I made sure that my groupmates were on track and that we had fun during the process. I also woke up my groupmates by waking up early to get them to prepare their items so we would not lack behind.

2. One challenging situation i faced during camp was when I had experienced gastric pain… what I did to resolve it was I reported it to my maams and did not push myself too much during activities

3. I would like to commend my group ICs juwaira maam and yuxin maam as they made my camp experience very fun! They also did regular check ups on my groupmates which i found very endearing.

She also took charge in some parts of campfire prep

1. One thing that went well for me was that me and my group mates managed to bond closer with one another throughout the three days. I managed to learn new things about them and their personalities. I also enjoyed the team bonding activities as well.

2. One challenging moment was probably during campfire prep. Me and my group mates had limited time to come up with a dance and cheer where all of us can learn them. However, we put all our heads in and managed to come up with something and got second place!!!

3. One person(or people) I would like to acknowledge is probably my maams, Mariet Maam and Hanney Maam, for guiding us throughout this camp and taking care of us when needed. When I had gastric pain, they were immediately asking if I was okay and needed rest. I appreciate their efforts. I also would like to thank my teammates for making this camp enjoyable and tolerable.(Nicole, Rachael, Grace, and Zoey)

1. one thing that went well was working and communicating with my group mates. In the beginning, my group mates only interacted with each other by level as the sec 1s only talked to each other while the sec 2s only talked to each other. However as we did more team bonding games together we started to communicate more, working together and opening up to one another .

2. one challenging part of camp was planning for the camp performance and camp cheer. My group found it hard to come up with words for the cheer as the group name we had was long, making it hard to find rhymes and different words. When we chose our song for the campfire, we struggled to find a dance that matched the song as it was very energetic and fast. However, we overcame this challenge by coming together and discussing with one another, eventually choreographing a dance that suited the song lyrics.

3. A group of people i would like to acknowledge would be the secondary 1s in my group. When we were all first grouped together, the sec 1s seemed uncomfortable, rarely particating in group discussions or talking to anyone, However, through the icebreaker games, they stepped out of their comfort zone and started to talk and participate more actively. For example, on the first day when we played the icebreaker games, they were very shy and rarely spoke. However after a while in a separate game, they opened up more and took part in group discussions. Thus, i think that deserve the acknowledgment as it is not easy to step out of their comfort zone.

1. one thing that went well for me was managing to bond and interact with all my groupmates easily as we all interacted with one another like good friends

2. one challenging moment for me was when my group has to figure out what we should perform during the campfire as it was not easy to choreograph a performance by ourselves

# data[].attributes.body
1. one thing I felt that I did well was working with my group mates. even though I do not talk to them often and a few of them are not in the same cohort as me, I still managed to communicate with them effectively and befriend them.

2. one challenge I experienced was planning our performance for the campfire. no one in my group was very comfortable on stage and we had difficulty figuring out cheer and dance. but in the end, we persevered and came out of our comfort zones together to get it done.

3. I would like to acknowledge my whole group. while we usually kept to ourselves, we all opened up during the camp, even the sec ones, whom must have had more trouble in doing so as they have never gone to unit camp before. overall, I'm grateful we all put our differences aside and managed to befriend each other.

# data[].attributes.body
one thing that went well was actually bonding with my groupmates. I thought that the sec 1s and 2s will be divided and just communicate among themselves, but we actively tried to talk to each other despite not knowing each other well and I was able to form friendships with my groupmates.

one challenging moment was that i found it quite hard to fall asleep at night due to the hard floor, the heat and the light from the corridors. this affected my energy in the morning and i felt tired and groggy waking up so early.

I want to acknowledge my groupmates, lily, for being encouraging, kind, and supportive of one another. They were pro active in activities despite being shy and encouraged one another during games like Halloween and our campfire cheer. they are the best and they made this year's camp very memorable for me.

Through the two sessions of .22 revolver practice shoot:

1. I learnt how to practice patience and and confidence in myself during the practice shoot. At first, I was feeling uncertain in myself when handling the revolver, thinking that I would not be able to use it properly or scared myself during the practice shoot, since I heard that it would be really loud when we were shooting. Luckily, it was not as bad as I thought it would be, thus overcoming my doubts on handling a revolver.
