Personal reflections for Amazing Race

1.What do you understand about the school value "Expanding Our Learning Networks"?

It means that to learn not only in school lessons, but in other situations like in CIP activities, or when we fiddle with objects.
2.Why is this value important and how will it help you in your learning experience in SST?

This value can let us learn from all sorts of situations and learn all sorts of things. And this prior knowledge helps us in our future lessons and enables us to understand the lessons more easily.

Personal reflections for Bridge Building Activity

1. How do you feel about working in a team on the bridge building project?

I feel that the team is cooperative and we are capable of working as one if we try hard enough. I feel that the team members are friendly and warm towards each other and they include every single one of the team members in the group ( excluding me cause i am the reporter) in the bridge building so, generally well teamwork.
2. What do you think about your interactions with the members in your team?

I feel that they listen to whatever you have to say and they do not ignore any suggestions you have to make.

3. What have you learnt about yourself in the course of the activity and what would you have done differently in future group activities?

As the reporter of the team, when i am done with my task, i should try to help the team members in the bridge building because two heads are better than one... In this case, five heads are better than four. :)
4. Did you experience any fear(s), discomfort(s) and apprehension(s) working with this team? Why?

If you want my honest answer, its NO. As for the gender difference, I am actually quite used to it as in primary school, the minimum requirements for a group is that the group must at least have two girls so after a while i got used to working with the opposite sex and i also understand how they work and especially what PRECAUTIONS YOU HAVE TO MAKE ;)
5. How do you overcome them?

Group discussion

1.What strengths you have observed in the class during the teambuilding activity?

Everyone in the class is willing to participate and no one has been left out in any of the activities. The teamwork and the cooperation of the class is excellent and everyone is playing a part to solve the problem or to accomplish the task. Some of the class members do not mind the gender difference between the guys and the girls and everyone in the class all have the sprit in them to support and help their group in any way they can.
2.How are these strengths important in helping your class to succeed?

When we work as a team, we can help each other come up with even better ideas by commenting on our peer's ideas. We can also encourage each other in a team that is familiar with each other and a familiar team knows the strengths of their team and can assign the correct roles accordingly.
3.What other “ingredients” do you think is needed for a class to succeed as an effective team?

The guys in the team should interact more with the girls as they are soft-spoken and may have better ideas than the ones that have been contributed. The class members should also learn to be less self-centred. The class also needs to have more trust in their peers and listen to their ideas because every idea is a good idea.
4.How can the class apply these “ingredients” in its daily work? Which school value best fits that the team is trying to do?

We can use the trust in each other and we can work together to achieve something bigger and better. We also should be confident in ourselves and we should not hold back and we should not be embarrassed by anything that we have done.
