Our Very Own Garden!

Till our third meeting, very few of the members knew we had our very own garden. Frankly speaking, only Pn. Chuah knew from the start we had one. Located behind the school's office beside the boy's toilet just to the left of Block C, there stood our garden.

The club's garden.

Moving on, this week's meeting was entirely to clean up and re-decorate the garden. To help achieve this, Pn. Chuah brought her sister to organize and co-ordinate the place.

Pn. Chuah's sister told the members what was the plan and where was the ideal place to put the pots and plants. She then led the clearing up of unwanted plants and with the help of the members, cleared up the whole place.

After receiving instructions, members set out to complete them.

Removing weeds and other unwanted plants was their first task.

After completing their first task, the redecoration of the garden began. Pn. Chuah's sister asked for bricks to properly arrange the sides of the stands which held the plants to prevent the pots from falling. So detailed was Pn. Chuah's sister's vision, it seemed impossible she would not notice any flaws in the garden.

Members assigned to find bricks.

After inspecting the garden, Pn. Chuah's sister then gave the green light to fill the place with flowers. She told members where and what to put in every inch of the place.

After feeling satisfied enough with the garden, Pn. Chuah and her sister then called it a day.

Though feeling tired and exhausted, they along with the members felt it was a good day's job. We then thanked Pn. Chuah's sister was helping us out willingly and headed back home after a group shot together.

How Do You Make Your Own Slime?

We had our second meeting of 2011 on the 26th of January and we learnt how to make slime from everyday materials such as glue, water, and food colouring! Except for one or two ingredients of course. We were given permission to conduct this experiment under the guidance of the lab assistant and our teacher advisor, Pn.Chuah. Here's a list of the items needed to make your very own slime.
  1. Boric Acid or also known as Borax powder.
  2. PVA glue.
  3. Food colouring of any choice.
  4. Distilled water.
  5. 2 beakers of 250ml and a 500ml beaker.
  6. Bunsen burner
  7. Wire gauze along with a tripod stand.
  8. Dropper
  9. Stirrer
  10. Spatula
Ingredients needed for the experiement.
