To the Zoo-13 Feb

13th February was the start of our 1 week school holiday.
For CIP, I was learning to be a Zoo guide. CIP means Community Involvement Programme.
It was a 3 hour lesson. As there was nothing much, I will not be focusing on that.
After lunch, it was free and easy for us. Together with my friends, we went to the new Australia Outback. We also visited other animals like the polar bear. At 2.30, we were supposed to gather. That day was the day of the opening of the new Wildlife Healthcare and Research Centre. We were privileged to be the only students there to witness it. The president was also there. We were given a tour inside the hospital, we felt so proud.
After that, we went to a sort of "banquet" room where we enjoyed some light food and desserts. So in a way, "we ate what the president ate". We took photos with the president and not only that, we got to have free elephant and tram rides.
That was great.

Sports Carnival

Today was the last day of school it was also our Sports Carnival. It was not " Sports Day " because our principal said that on sports days, only a few were taking part, whereas sports carnival was everyone got to take part.
There were many events such as 'banner making', 'sandwich making', 'anti-drug poster and anti-theft collar pin design making', 'mascot making', 'road relay', 'mass skipping', 'beep test' and 'dancing marathon'. Each of us was involved in something.
I was in the mass skipping. 10 of us jumping together while 2 swing the rope. Our class got into the final 3. We were the third in the secong round. But there were no medals for us, only the first and second place got medals.
Our class mascot was a banana. We all wore yellow shirts to support.
Our class did win some medals though. In the 'beep test', the girls got first. In the 'road relay', out team got first. In the 'sandwich making', we got second.
I had fun today although my legs were very painful.
(Holidays starts next week.)
till next time
