The holidays arent as good as i imagined... There are still so many busy days, now that i have written the days on my calendar. Nevermind, I shall tell u about today.
Today, I went to school early for a Science Competition (i was a facilitator). Rosyth School actually won FIRST both for the team catergory and indivisual catergory!!! I was very happy when I heard that. (but that was the last part) Okay, for the day I explained and help the primary 6 pupils in doing an experiment involving a crime. I was a CSI team member and was supposed to see the experiments through. The teachers purposely asked us some questions too, but mainly, we were able to answer their questions. I must say that the decorations were fabulous as the whole room was dark and there was even a corner cordoned off, with a body inside. The whole place was made to be like a crime scene, eerie and mysterious. Although I was working non-stop through the 8 hours or so, I had a lot of fun and find it to be worthwhile. I talked to the primary school pupils, and seeing how excited they were made me feel excited about it too. The only disappointing thing was that I didnt get a chance to do the experiment with my primary school schoolmates...
If we finish the experiments fast, we were allowed to bring the pupils around the biology lab to introduce the different things inside. But the main 'exhibition' were some baby foetus. Some pupils looked very interested in them, while some were a bit frightened. While they observed, we told them about the foetus, like that its real, where we got it from. There are a lot of more fun things we did there. I was in the CSI team, but some pupils went to do an experiment on owl pellets (faeces), where they have to search through the pellets given to them and take out the bones and find out what the owl had eaten. Others did an expeiment in the chemistry lab, but i am not sure what they did.
After that, everybody went to have refreshments (except us) and when we reached the buffet after clearing up, there was nothing left. So we made our way tto the lecture threatre for the final round of the competition and prize presentation. The final round was really, really fun. The competitiors had to play a role-playing, turn-based game while listening to a story. During the game, they had to answer science questions that were related to the story to receive points and get turns, as whenever a teams answers a question correctly, they get a turn. In the end, Rosyth School won first prize and I clapped really loudly as I was happy for my primary school. Seeing the smiles on their faces also made me happier, knowing that they had enjoyed themselves.
At the end of the day, I was tired out, so were my friends. At this moment, we saw the VIPs eating their special buffet, so we politely asked our teacher if we could also have some of the food. Our teacher told us to wait till they have eaten more, so that there wont be too little for them. We obedientlysat at a side and waited. Soon, we got our turn and got our food from the buffet table. (the food was better than what the competitors ate, hehe...)
When we finished eating, we went home with unforgettable memories of this fun day.
