- The video shows a person cutting a piece of cloth into 5 equal shapes and sewing each of them into a small pouch. The person then fills each of it with rice and sews it together which then i understand she is making a traditional game known as five stones . She then places the 5 stones into a glass jar and beautifully wraps it with a wrapping paper which is printed ‘happy birthday’ . Yes , I would enjoy doing this activity as shown in the video . I can make a gift for someone special like my family member or friend by doing this activity . We often buy when it comes to gifts but making a gift is actually more meaningful . When I make a gift , i can choose the person‘s most favourite colour or pattern . I can also customise right down to the size of the item , texture of the cloth and the kind of beads to use . Although handcrafted gifts takes up a lot of time , I will enjoy doing it as i can give the person a unique, original , heartfelt and a lifelong gift. 

During this circuit breaker period , I have learnt a new language . I have learnt French by watching online lessons in YouTube and my elder sister who took French as her third language as French in school . As the proverb goes ‘practice makes perfect ‘ , i did many practices like writing and talking in French  . It was hard at first but ‘no pain, no gain’ so I used up almost all my free time to learn a new language. My sister have also praised me for grasping new French words quickly . I feel that I have learned the basic of the French language and many new French words so leaning a new language this is I something I have done well and am proud of . 

-  I strongly agree that Hands on learning is the most effective way to gain knowledge . I feel that hands on learning is another way to say ‘learning by doing’ . A few examples of hands on learning include doing a lab experiment in chemistry lessons, building circuits during physics lessons  , cooking dishes during food and consumer education and acting out a creative story during English lesson . Hands on learning has many benefits such as engaging multiple areas of the brain  and allowing us to learn from real experiences . When multiple activities such as talking , listening , and using the hands are combined in hands on learning , it activates more areas of the brain than a single activity . Hands on learning keeps learners engaged in what they are learning which helps them gain knowledge . A recent study done in London also found that students who didn’t engage in hands on learning were 1.5 times more likely to fail a course than students who did . Using actual experiences to learn concepts and skills is much more effective than simply being told about them, as in the proverb: “Tell me, I’ll forget; show me, I’ll remember; involve me, I’ll understand.” To conclude , i can say that Hands on learning is the most effective way to gain knowledge  as it involves both positive physiological and psychological impacts of the learning style.
