Yoz!
We had an unofficial meeting on the 25th of January, from 2.45pm - 4.30pm. On this meeting, we revised our first aid skills and sang campfire songs! :D Fall in was at 2.45 and we reported strength. We then changed out of our pinafores and headed to an empty classroom on Level 2. It was the classroom nearest to the Primary School block and nearest to the Staff Room. :)
As Thinking Day was approaching, we started off the meeting with CAMPFIRE SONGS! How awesome is that? Haha. The first song was the 'Adiji Yell', followed by the rest. We sung the songs one by one, going down the list. However, there were a couple of songs which Cheryl had asked us to repeat, solely because we sounded dead. On some occasions, she also told the PSes not to sing as she believed the coy was depending on us to sing and all they had to do was mouth the words.
Oh, Qarissa was also present so she made us sing until she was satisfied and thought that we had sounded enthusiastic and loud enough. She also told us,'Even if you don't feel like singing, can you please try to sound more enthusiastic? At least smile or something!' :) Apart from singing, the seniors had to also teach the juniors the actions to songs like 'Cannibal King' and 'Jamaican Farewell' as Cheryl noted that they were not familiar with the actions. After giving us some time to teach, we sang it again.
Soon, when we had finished all the songs, we moved on to FIRST AID! :) The PLs told us to split into groups with at least 1 PS in each group. Then, they asked who knew how to tie the 'elevated' and 'armsling'. I was not sure if I could remember how to tie or not as the last I tied them was during the 1st aid course I had attended last june .. :( Later, each group was to send out a representative to collect a bandage. Once we got back, we were to start teaching immediately as the juniors would be tested.
I'm so grateful to my group members and Dorothy who still remembered how to tie the 'elevated' as I could not. I could only remember the 'armsling'. So disappointed in myself. Anyway, after awhile, the PLs announced who they had chosen to come up front and tie a particular bandage which they had also chosen. The chosen ones were to bring along a partner for them to tie the bandage on. After the bandaging process, Joycelyn checked the bandages and passed those that were neat and properly tied. When all this was done, we were to keep the bandages and then fall in at the outdoor stage area.
There, we were going to do footdrills! :0 This time, we had more time to spare so that meant we were going to do more of it! However, in the midst of practicing, the Secondary 4s were told to fall out. I think the PLs wanted to give them a break since they were graduating this year but they could not just stand there and do nothing so they were given the authority to command the whole coy in our foordrills. They stood in a straight line and hollered commands one by one, starting from Caroline. :) When they were done, they fell back in again and we practiced for the last few minutes before 4.30pm came.
Soon, it was time to be dismissed so we fell in and listened to whatever announcements that had to be made. After which, we fell out and made our way home! :D
Yep. So this is what happened on 25th January.
Lalala, Melissa! :)
