Today we learnt about
teamwork and we did several activities which require cooperation with group
members. Among all the contests, I love the marshmallow challenge the most
since our group was the winner. It was quite challenging discussing how to
build up the tower and we thought we would fail the challenge at first.
Unexpectedly, we were able to hold the marshmallow securely at the highest
height. Through this challenge, I have learnt the importance of teamwork and
how good collaboration leads to success.
Also, we had a cultural
night and cooked some dishes that represent Hong Kong for our counsellors. My
group was in charge of cooking, and we were delighted that we got the chance to
use the utensils and apparatus provided to serve others. The dishes were
particularly delicious, probably because we did not have any Chinese cuisine in
the past week.

The theme of today is
teamwork. We played a lot of fun games including Pool Noodle Pick Up and
Marshmallow Challenge which required teamwork. Through these games, especially
the Egg Drop Challenge, I understood the importance of communication.
We also had the culture
night today. There were several tasty Chinese cuisines. I cooked enoki mushroom
in beef rolls. Although the process of cooking was tiring, the food tasted
nice, which made me feel satisfied. I hold high respect for the chefs who cook
us delicious food every day and I have learnt to appreciate the food provided
for us more since then.

Today I did a fitness exercise that improved my flexibility and
endurance. We also made a craft by selecting pictures from the magazine and
sticking them on a piece of paper. However, the most impressive part of today
has to be the Culture Night.
We enjoyed the Chinese dishes, presentation about Hong Kong and the traditional games. I really relished playing electric shock and whisper challenge as I have not tried it before. I was fortunate enough to have helped with preparing the beef mushroom rolls, which offered me the experience of cooking dishes in the Mercato’s kitchen and interacting with the chef. We were glad that the counselors are now more familiar with the Chinese culture.

The
theme today is teamwork. I have gained some insights through the lessons and
activities. Good teamwork is about helping others at the right time and
knowing when to ask for help. Building a strong team requires valuing what
others have to say, accepting advice, being a good listener, and
knowing your vision.
Our
culture night also added lustre to our day. We prepared some Hong Kong food for
our counselors and also a presentation to introduce Hong Kong. We also played
some games with them such as the whisper challenge and electric shock. It was
an engaging cultural-exchange experience!

This is our first day
again back to Brescia.
We started the day off
with a series of games. The first one starts with the marshmallow game where
each team strives to hold the marshmallow by using spaghettis. This game is
super difficult as the spaghettis stilts themselves are already difficult to stand
by their own. The next game is the classical egg drop challenge. Many of our
teams surprisingly managed to keep our eggs “alive” (un-cracked). Both games
require firm teamwork which very much strengthened the bond between each team
member, despite the arduous progress in making it through. We then have “Dream
Collage” after lunch. It is basically to scramble different pictures from
magazines and paste them onto a card paper, indicating our own dreams and
wishes.
Culture Night was coming
and it was time for us to prepare. My group did the work of preparation, and to
be honest it was pretty strenuous yet worth it all. It is so rewarding to see
our counselors enjoying our food and as well as savoring our own at the end. We
also played games such as the whisper challenge and electric wire after our
dinner. It was a great fun time for all of us, especially our counselors.
In an overall view,
today is definitely one of the most meaningful days for everyone to work with
each other and to bring ourselves good results.

Our topic for today was
teamwork and we experienced through games such as the marshmallow challenge. We
leant the being a team must be a two-way route and as a leader, he or she
should be a team player, to gain trust and confidence from the teammates.
In the afternoon, we
joined the boot camp. Although it was tough and tiring, we understood that it’s
essential to work out and sweat out everyday, to put our body in a healthy
condition.
After that, we were busy
preparing our culture night dinner. Our group were responsible for preparing
mango pomelo sago dessert. The preparation for it was quite complicated.
However the outcome was very satisfying and rewarding. It was very delicious!

Today was the first day
after our Niagara Falls trip. We played a lot of games in the morning such as
the marshmallow challenge, noodle pool challenge and egg drop contest. All of
these interesting games helped us to understand the importance of teamwork.
After lunch, we created a dream collage for ourselves by picking the stuff we
love from books and magazines to decorate a photo frame. And the most memorable
event of today was the culture night! We shared with our counselors the culture
of Hong Kong and played some fun games with them. It's a bit tiring for us but
we enjoyed the day so much.

Today was a hectic day,
with the Marshmallow Challenge, Pool Noodle Pick Up, and the Egg Drop Contest
packed in the morning. These interesting activities helped us understand
the importance of teamwork, and that a leader should inspire people so that the
team will work hard together to achieve their common goal, a good leader should
also recognize each person’s special talent and be a part of the group in order
to build a strong team. The highlight of the day is the culture night and
dinner, we prepared spring rolls such as appetizer, dumplings and Enoki
mushroom beef rolls as the main dish, and the mango pomelo sago as dessert, we
had a lot of fun, we learnt more about the differences between Canada and Hong
Kong, too! It is such a fruitful and meaningful day!!
