Venue school and SSVH
Today, we were to go down to SSVH to show them what we have done so far. If you don’t know what we have done, heres a quick recap. First, the lung like thing, with an attached glove for the kids to feel. Second, the enormous board with the circulatory system on it that we just finished yesterday. So the original meeting time was 9.30. But apparently, i left my house at 9.30.. and so i arrived at 10.30 which was…. Nevermind.
So we dragged the huge thing all the way to the bus stop and waited for the bus 156 to come. Erm. to give you a rough idea of how big the board is, it is taller than me and its width is about the length my arms spread out. Okay. So when the bus finally came, as we dragged, the board up, the bus driver “guai lanned”. But we “guai lanned” him back. and Miraculously, we managed to drag it up, luckily there weren’t much people on the bus. When we finally reached, we miraculously managed to drag it down the bus and started up the hill to SSVH. Tell you a secret, I felt like a kite coz the wind was so…. strong. and the board was practically pulling me away. And guess what, jing yuan was there taking photos instead of helping his poor group mate.
Anyway, when we finally reached SSVH, we showed ms juwita our stuff. erm.. im not sure whether she was impressed, but she took us to the classes to show the teachers our “lungs”. We tested out the “lungs” on some of the visually handicapped children there and everything seemed okay except for one thing. The glove was too SMALL!. every single one of them was unable to stick his hand in properly. I guess we have to use better gloves the next time round. one of the teachers also commented that we should simplify our circulatory system board since being too complex will confuse the students. (jia and me feel disappointed. Oops jia wasn’t there). Another suggested that we use thicker strings instead of rafia coz its abit hard to feel. So. looks like our prototypes were quite fail. So now, we are to redo both the lungs and the circulatory board.
And guess what, jing yuan told me to drag that enormous thing back down the hill and back to RI!!! erm.. I had the privilege to feel like a kite again and jing yuan once again was happily taking photos of the kite(ME). And once again, as expected, we got guai lan-ed by another bus driver. Finally, when we got back, we left the board in class and went for lunch. When we came back i tore out the human from the board and cut the board into four pieces (jing yuan said not to get a new board as he wants to save the environment). -.-
Dats all from me XD
Bye bye
