CCA walkabout-- hurrah!

Hi guides!  Just want to say a very good job for this afternoon's CCA walkabout! Because of everyone's effort, we have a total of.... (drumrolls) 150 signups!:D with around 38 girls in each of the 8 sec 1 classes, you can kind of do the math and realise how great a number this is!
Fire com, thank you for dedicating the whole afternoon to doing the fire and tirelessly making delicious marshmellows for everyone! We really appreciate how you found joy in doing so, and had such an optimistic attitude! Keep it up!
To the rest of you, we saw some of you being so enthusiastic and convincing when trying to persuade the sec ones to sign up. The best part of this was that you all were honest and genuine in your intentions and what you told the sec 1s, and we hope that you will always remember that in no matter what you do,  honesty and sincerity comes before any reward or desired outcome.
Also, to end off the day, we decided to treat all the cca leaders by inviting them to get some marshmellows before they leave. This fits perfectly with a quote I saw on our board in the guides room: the most beautiful thing is not receiving but giving. And that's what we do as guides don't we? We always strive to give more and receive less:)
However,  having said that, there are some aspects we hope you will improve and learn from, for example many of you told us at the last minute about having to change your shift allocation because you have something on. While we understand that we are all busy, it's also important to be responsible and considerate,  and to make the effort to notify the leaders earlier,  just as they make the effort to help you change shifts such that you can go home in time.
Also, while many of you helped to pack up our booth, it was the small things such as picking up litter from the ground right in front of us which we did not do. In the end, it was girl's brigade that voluntarily stayed back to pick up after everyone else. In future, let's be the ones to take the initiative and set an example for all other ccas to follow! Imagine how much in awe the others will be when they see all of us guides helping to do so?
Well, that's just some things we hope we can all learn from! Overall, today was a great day!  Hope you are all enjoying school, and see you all on Thursday!

1.1    Coy 1 Song Lyrics

Song: Roar by Katy Perry

Lyrics:

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Get ready 'cause I’ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly

Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You'll hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You're gonna hear me roar...

Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar

[Chorus]

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You'll hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You're gonna hear me roar..

1.3    Coy 2 Song Lyrics

Song: Waka Waka by Shakira

Lyrics:

You're a good soldier

Choosing your battles

Pick yourself up

And dust yourself off

Get back in the saddle

You're on the front line

Everyone's watching

You know it's serious

We are getting closer

This isn't over

The pressure’s on

You feel it

But you got it all

Believe it

When you fall get up, oh oh

If you fall get up, eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa

Cos this is our world

Tsamina mina, eh eh

Waka waka, eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa

Now for our future

Listen to your God

This is our motto

Your time to shine

Don't wait in line

Y vamos por todo

People are raising

Their expectations

Go on and feed them

This is your moment

No hesitations

Today's your day

I feel it

You paved the way

Believe it

If you get down get up, oh oh

When you get down get up, eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa

Cos this is our world

Tsamina mina, eh eh

Waka waka, eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa

Anawa a a

Tsamina mina, eh eh

Waka waka, eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa

Now for our future

Holiday Homework 2013

Hey Guides!!

I hope you had fun during the interunit although it was tiring!!

For the Sec 1s and 2s, you all have to do 2 profis. Sec 3s, you only have to do 1 profi.

For the Sec 2s, one complusary profi that you have to do is your flora and fauna (THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE SCRAPBOOK) - This is for identifying flora and fauna! So on top of this you have to do another one as well!

Please hand in your profis on the first guides session of the year! we trust that you all will hand it up! If for some reason you really really really cannot hand up your profi, tell me and we'll see if I can you an extension or something. (I really hope i do not get any texts for this reason unless you really can't)

I hope all of you do not see the homework negatively, but see it as somehting that you can be proud of when you get your badge to be sewn on!

I also hope that all you have a fantastic holiday and use this time to catch up on syllabus as well as rest:) I look forward to the year ahead in guides and hope you all do too!!

Sec 2s, here is the instructions for flora and fauna (Unfortunately, this particular profi is not open to the sec 1s yet, but you can still do the scrapbook!)

Task and Objectives:

Guides are to form groups of 3 to 4. Within their groups they are to come up with a board game of sorts, which when played, will require the players to identify various types of flora and fauna. Any sort of board or card game is allowed to be created with various rules and regulations as long as they require the players to identify the flora and fauna. Guides will also have to take the durability of the game into consideration, as the game should be able to be played and enjoyed rather than just being there for show.

For example, you could have a monopoly style game board, where when you roll a dice, you move a certain number of spaces. When you land on a space, you may be required to pick up a ‘Fauna’ Card, where a picture of a bird or clues of a certain bird is given and the player is required to be able to provide the answer for what bird it is. If successful, the player can then move a certain number of spaces forward or receive some sort of compensation in the game. (This of course is just an example and this does not restrict the guides as to what type of game they would like to create)

Guides will be required to produce the game together with instructions and an answer key.

Criteria:

·      Do take note of the creativity and originality of the game as well as the design.

·      Question whether you would personally like to play this game

·    Question whether this game would actually be effective in learning about various types of flora and fauna.

·     Take note of the evident effort put into the game – whether it is well thought out or was it just last minute work?

·      With regards to creativity and originality, is it just a regular board or card game where you move across the board, or are they twists and turns? (E.g. in monopoly, there are treasure quest cards as well as actions such as go to jail)

·      The game does not need to be made of materials that are of high quality as we understand that the guides are not machines which can produce games of the quality of games such as the game of life or monopoly, the guides are required to produce something that can actually hold up enough to be played by various players.

Rubrics

Aspects	5	4	3	2	1

Engagement of players	-Engages players fully -Players have fun -Want to play more/interested in game	-Players are mostly engaged throughout the game	-Players do not pay full attention to the game -Gets distracted sometimes	-Players get bored or distracted easily	-Players are uninterested and bored
