P4 Math Carnival WAS FUN!
really fun! =D

Well, for the p4 Math Carnival, I was in charge of registration. =) That is the nicest job ever! It allows me to know which school is coming which school is under which group! hahas. Interacts with people alot. =) However, the main point is that I can join any group I want after the registration time and do the math carnival activities! The MOE officers at the registration booth were REALLY friendly as well! =D I didnt even know that they were MOE officers until the second day of the carnival! hahas! Well, for this carnival, I joined Michelle's group. So, her group had two student leaders! =D

The most boring part of the carnival was having to do the same activities for 4 times! ARGH. X)

Michelle's group is Blue 2 and, for this carnival, groups blue 1 - 5 are doing the exact same things and moving from one place to another at the same time. So, the other student leaders in this "bigger" group are Qian Cheng, Luxi, David and other girl =). So, the carnival was carried out for 4 times(north,south,east,west zone), 2 per day, different school each time (obviously). We have two activites - Skyline in Shenton Way and Math in Biology. The shenton way one was about having being able to see how many buildings from one view, you know the one which need the blocks? ya. The math in Biology is about Fibonacci numbers and Golden Ratio in the Nature. Well, only until then that I know what are Fibonacci numbers! wahahas. X)

For the first session, Hui Shi and I didnt know that we can actually go and join groups after the registration hours and we simply stayed at the booth for hours! =(

For the second session, we got permission from one of the MOE officers to leave the booth after the registration hours and I joined Michelle's group in the hall and Huishi joined Kiona. That's the first time that I took a group. hahas. They were from some schools that I couldn't remember la. hahas! I mixed around well with the p4 students! WHEE! =D That was so fun. hahas! It's so sad to see them leave at the end of the carnival! Aww.

For the third session, it was an all boys group from Ai Tong Primary. Okay, although this is an all boys group, I must say that this is the best group ever out of the four! =D They so fun to play with la! hahahas! Also, because for the Shenton activity, they were the only group that actually had discussed and showed teamwork although some of them doesn't know each other and they are also the SMARTEST group! Although we did like the same activities, they were able to do something different and that makes the whole thing more challenging. hahas!

When we go for the bio activity, it was so so so so so fun la! Before Ms Tan starts, they keep asking what's "Fibonaki" numbers! hahas! so cute la! they dont know how to pronouce fibonacci. =D they also ask what's the pattern in the fibonacci number, it feels so great to be explaining everything! wahaha! =D Then there's two guys called Trevor and Edric in the group, they are the ones sitting closest to me so I told them that Ms Tan will be asking which country is Fibonacci from and I told them that he's from Italy, asking them to answer later. hahas!

Well, when the activity starts, I was suppose to help Michelle's group but Qian Cheng went to find this missing boy so I helped him to take his group for that activity. His group is so so so so cute also! =D They were also very fun to do the activity with. It's so nice to be teaching them what to do la! =D Then they kept calling me teacher when I told them that I'm not a teacher for thousands of times! Then they finally stopped calling me teacher, instead, they started calling me " Teacher's assistant" *FAINT* I was like O_O

For this group, it feels even sadder to see them leave after the carnival! AWW. =( The carnival was so fun la! By the way, when I asked them if they like the school, all of them answered yes profusely and they gave so many Strongly Agree in the survey form! WOOHOO. =D
Here's two "other comments" that I saw in two of the survey forms (remembered clearly) :

"I hope there's more of this kind of carnivals!"
"The problems are really fun to solve and the harder it is, the more fun it is to solve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

=D how nice can these comments be? By the way, for the second comment, that person really did so ALOT of exclaimation marks! =D


That's Trevor and Edric from the Ai Tong group! =DSt.Margaret's CAME under this session too! =D That's another thing that makes this carnival best!
For the fourth and last session, its kinda boring. Its also an all boys group but all of them are so QUIET! and they dont talk when we do the shenton activity and that makes the whole thing so boring, esp after I have been doing it for 3 times! =( Qian Cheng and I eventually started juggling the blocks for fun.
The bio activity was even more boring. =(((

At the end of the carnival, not many gave a strongly agree in the survey form. OF COURSE LA, they dont talk how to have fun and they dont have fun how to give strongly agree? =(

After all, the Math Carnival is still REALLY NICE! =D
Hmms, by the way, I dont think I'm not taking school bus in July anymore, Stacy and Qian Cheng make the taking the train to school sound so nice! =D
