12 Mar: Basket weaving!
We did ‘basket weaving’ for initiatives this week! :) It is not exactly a basket, as we did not use rattan. Instead, we used cardboard, cotton twine and coloured strings to make one. Some of us used the provided template to trace out the shape of our ‘basket’ while some of us were more adventurous and drew our own shapes. After cutting out the template, cotton twine and coloured string are used to go round the cardboard.
Though this may sound too easy, in reality it is definitely not! There were difficulty faced in the drawing and stringing the basket part. This process required lots of patience and creativity. Through this initiative, as we sat down in a cosy circle doing our D-I-Ys, we also bonded as a chapter, as we chatted about common topics.
This initiative has honed our craft skills and taught us how to make use of recycled items to turn it into something so aesthetically appealing and useful at the same time. After initiatives, as we still had some time, we did a little Physical Training, to keep our bodies in shape. We did planking and crunches. The interesting part is that we got to stop doing the individual exercises after a song has finished playing. Finally, we ended off with kallang-wave pumping. This jihe was really fun as we ended the term with getting to learn an invaluable DIY skill.
Happy March Holidays~~ :) All the best to the Year 6s for your March CTs! :)
