Today was a special day. It was our duty to mend the stations in Zoolympix 2006. No adults were there to help us, just us, a bunch of Sec 3 students. My station was the Cheetah Catch-Up. I mended the station with two other friends. Besides explaining the game and rules, we also must sell posters. We sold a lot of posters which costed 1 dollar. However, we only managed to sell 1 goodie bag, as many people already bought it at the registration counter.
Many children came to play at our station. To participate in Zoolympix, you have to buy the goodie bag which contains an activity book. There are six stations to complete.
It was an enriching experience for us, because we have to approach strangers to buy posters and explain the rules to them. We also did a lot of complaining, about how we could have stay at home and watch TV and play computer games instead of "wasting" our time here. We came to the Zoo at 8.45am and the program ended at 4.15pm. We were all very tired at the end.
On Thursday, 8th June, we did a SPH Wildlife Buddy Media Launch. We have to buddy up with little kids to explain about aquatic animals like the sea lions. It was hard talking to them. The media was there to interview some students. On Friday, I had a nice surprise, my picture was in the newspaper. Although, it only showed the side of my face, I was really pleased.
