Hi, Natalie here!
We had a guides meeting today, from 2.30 to 4.30. The PSs were supposed to take over the meeting for today's session. We fell in at the parade square and there was inspection of uniform and patrols' report strength. Then we fell out and us PSs fell our patrol members in.
Then we went to the basketball court to practise our footdrill. The PSs said the commands and the Sec 2s and Sec 1s marched until 3.00. They were reminded to make sure their legs were at a 90 degree position when marching. We also taught the Sec 1s how to ask permission for a water break. Next, as some of the guides had not passed the healthy lifestyle test, almost all of us ran 3 rounds around the field with guides leading us. Those who could not run sat aside and rested. We cooled down and did some crunches too. Phew!
We then went to the open space area in between the St. Gabriel's and St. Raphael's block. We played "Simon Says", "Duck Duck Goose" and "Jacob's Ladder". We had to change venues after playing Dog and Bone as we were rather loud and classes were still going on. So we went to the parade square to play the octopus game, which involved a lot of running and screaming.
When we were all pretty exhausted, we had a water break and everyone met back in a classroom to sing campfire songs and learn cheers. Some of the songs learnt included "COY Song", " Taps", "Silvery Moon" and "Moonlight Bay". Ms Soh, our new Guider, came to watch us for a while. So now we have 4 Guiders in total.
As it was nearly 4.30, we ran to the parade square and fell in. There were some announcements and then we thanked Ms Soh and Eunice, collected our wallets and went home. OK, that's it for now. :)
