I just got my new CCA on Thursday. I did not get into String Ensemble, because only those who know how to play any of the four instruments (violin, viola,cello, bass) can get in. I got into Girl Guides, together with two other girls from my class. (Wei Xin and Jia Min)
At first, I was thinking, oh no, I can't canoe, I can't run very fast, I can't climb rocks, etc. But when I went for my very first Girl Guides meeting, I immediately changed my perspective of that CCA. The teacher guider told us that when she first joined Girl Guides, she was not very sporty. But after that, she began to have a lot of fun with the activities organised and it also helped her improve her NAPFA results from Bronze to Gold! (WOW!!!)
We would be able to learn a lot of interesting things like canoeing, rock-climbing, trekking, camping and many more. We will be divided into 8 patrols, each having a Year 4 patrol leader.
The uniforms are blue in colour, and I think that there will also be a pair of white gloves and a scarf. (Wonder how I will look like in it) The actual cost of the uniform was above $60, but it has been subsidised by the school, and it is now $20+. (Thank goodness, haha) We only have to wear the uniform during roll call or on special occasions like National Day.
There will also be a patrol corner, in which we can do what ever we like. The practice times are usually once a week, on Fridays, from 2.45pm to 5.45pm. Some activities will be held on Saturdays too. I really hope that I will enjoy all the activities organised, and at the same time become more sporty.
