Farewell

You'll never fly, if you're too scared of the heights

You'll never live if you're just too scared to die

Everybody wants heaven, I know

But darling freedom ain't free, it’s a long road

You'll never find your place up there in the sky

If you never say goodbye…

All good things must come to an end and on 9^th April, Jia Xin and Jeremy organised a farewell session for EMRS students. The session happened from 9am to 5:30pm in school. We lined up a wide range of special activities and games for this special day!

Icebreakers

Name Bingo

Bingo is a game where each person will be given a sheet of bingo paper with 5X5 grid of personal statements. Each person had to go around the group and ask people to sign on the grid that describes them.

Tangled

Each team has to stand in a circle facing each other. Students then have to hold another student’s hands to form a knot. When the knot is formed, teams will then attempt to untangle themselves as fast as possible to emerge the winner.

Toilet Roll Game

Students  have to form a circle using the roll of toilet paper provided. Each student has to tear off the sheets of toilet paper they would normally use and then pass the roll to another person. For each piece of toilet paper that they pull, they would have to say one fact about themselves.

Werewolf

There are two phases: "Night," when the werewolf may eliminate a player from the game, and "day," which the players have to vote to eliminate a suspect. These phases follow each other continuously until all the werewolves have been eliminated. Some players may be given a role with a special ability. Common examples include: Hunter, Cupid and Witch.

Amazing Race

Thereafter, everyone gathered in the classroom to kick start the amazing race. Each team was allocated a station. Teams will incur  time penalties if they fail to complete the station within the given time. The final pit stop was at SBM sky garden. The first team to reach the pit stop (sky garden) wins the game.

For timeline, the teams was presented with six pictures of a celebrity and they must place them all in chronological order from the earliest to the latest.

Station 5: Pictionary

One team member would spin around 10 times. After which he/she would go to the facilitator to get the first word. The player would then run back to the team and attempt to draw that word out. When any of the teammates guessed the word correctly, that player would then run up to the facilitator again to get a new word.

In conclusion, we had a fun and exciting day embracing and appreciating the presence of each other.

We have gotten to know each other for this entire semester and now we will go our separate ways. Some will remember and some will forget each other, but we will always have a part of each other inside us.

Field Trip: Army Museum of Singapore

April Fools’ Day keeps everyone on their toes. No one can believe anything they see or hear.

PHEW!  I’m glad that everyone turned up for the field trip.

The EMRS team decided to take a field trip to the Army Museum. It is located near JooKoon MRT station, right next to Singapore Discovery Centre.

 

Background of Army Museum

This museum shows the heritage of the Singapore Army, as well as to honour the contributions and celebrate the experiences of the soldiers. They hope to capture and tell the stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

In the Army, they constantly transforms and adapts to meet new challenges. However, amidst all the developments in hardware, systems and capabilities, and evolution in structures and doctrines, the Army will always remain anchored to our Mission, our Values and our People.

 

Our Enriching Journey

We met at Boon Lay MRT Station and headed for lunch before taking a bus down to Army Museum. We decided to split into groups and go on our separate ways for lunch. Ater lunch, we met collectively at the bus interchange. We boarded bus 193 and the journey took roughly 20 minutes.

Shortly after arriving at the Army Museum, the students were briefed and were introduced to the tour guide. The tour lasted for an hour with many fun and exiciting activities and exhibitions. The itinerary comprise a walk-through of the various galleries in the museum, viewing of the shows in Object theatre and IMT, Simulator Range.

The whole field trip ended at 3:30pm. Overall, the EMRS family had plenty of fun there! The army museum provides a very well arranged and interactive overview of the of the Singaporean army and it evolution. The army contributes to both securing the country and integrating society. The exhibits are lively and informative, and the information is very useful in helping one to understand the military's role in society.

Sprit of the Army will be remembered by all of us!

 

Some of the comments that are made from the participants:

• The participants appreciate the part where we take group photos together as it symbolise the EMRS family.

• They feel that the tour is extremely knowledgeable, and they get to bond with other team members.

• The crossword puzzle managed to engage the students among their groups to discuss the answers.

• They enjoyed the simulator range where they got to try the rifles.

• The duration of the tour is too short resulting in the lack of time for the students to browse through the galleries.

• We managed to gain a better understanding of the pre-independence to Singapore's current day army.

• The trip could have been more beneficial if it was extended to the Singapore Discovery Centre as there will be more activities offered.
