Chiang Mai – Camp 2013

by 110253 on May 14, 2013

During this trip, we did many activities and one of them was playing with the kids in the Hui Nam Yuen school. There was a girl called Sai Pin who I got to know. She was 11 years old and wants to become a teacher when she grows up. A lot of the children’s parents were farmers, unlike in Hong Kong a lot of the children’s parents work somewhere else. There kitchen was also small, and not so clean. In CDNIS we have a big kitchen thats why we were building a new kitchen for them and my group made 17 bricks! A hard part of the trip for me was the hike. The starting was easy because we were going downhill but towards the end it got pretty steep. The good part was that it wasn’t a very long uphill hike. Usually my helper would make my bed and help clean, but in the trip I had to make my own bed and clean up my own mess.

A learner profile attribute I showed was risk taker. We had to go on a confidence course which was walking on a chain and holding a rope, then swinging to the next stop by a rope, walking on a beam, and then monkey bars or rings. I was nervous for this because if you fall you fall in water with tadpoles. I didn’t really want to fall but I still wanted to do it so I tried. I went once and did a 360 turn on the beam and didn’t fall. My second turn I walked backwards on beam and did rings, I still didn’t fall. My third turn I closed my eyes on beam and did monkey bars backwards, and I still didn’t fall. Afterwards, I wanted to try more with even more challenges!

I also thought that I was a thinker on this trip because during rock climbing sometimes the rocks would get small and there would be less rocks. I wouldn’t know what to do but instad of freaking out I would think about it and then go. Overall, the trip was really fun and kayaking was the best for me:)

KMT Court Case

April 29, 2013

   I do agree with the verdict that the prosecution wins because even though we know that there might be a theory out there proving that KMT is real the prosecution side had stronger arguments explaining more. The defense side didn’t say the details that proved that KMT was right. In the court case I [...]

Fractions & Decimals Reflection

April 22, 2013

On the stress and learning graph I would probably choose 4 as a stress level. I thought that converting fractions to decimals, and dividing decimals was the hardest for me. Multiplying decimals was pretty easy unless I got some calculation errors. I thought that converting fractions to decimals was hard because I would always get [...]
