Day 1 - Reflections

Saturday, November 13, 2010 @ 7:00 AM

The first and second day have come to the end, as usual of a school trip, there will be reflections for us to write as we reflect what we have learned throughout the first two days! After the respective reflections, we will show you the pictures th at we had taken during the first 2 days, ^^. Aren't you guys excited? PICTURES!! NO words, other than the reflections (maybe there will be captions of the pictures, :P.) Yesterday and today, we had visisted the RoboSquare, Fukuoka City Disaster Prevention Center and the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. Our reflections will be revolving around the above three points.

Regina: Well, I've had a fruitful day today as I have learned a lifeskill that cannot be experienced in Singapore, at the Fukuoka City Disaster Prevention Center. This is because Singapore is a country where it is protected by its neighbours - Malaysia and Indonesia; they are the pillars of the prevention of the natural disaster that will attack Singapore. However, I personally feel that we, Singaporeans, shouldn't be complacent as what if one day, our neighbours aren't there to protect us? Or the natural disaster is so great that it will hit Singapore? We will in fact be vulnerable to such disasters as we had no experience; we merely know the theory but the question is, do we know how to apply it? I don't reckon so. If Singapore is being hit, it will cease to exist. As for the rest, they are overwhelmezed with helpful information, specially the visit to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. It helped me to link my physics concept to applications of daily life. In summary, the first days were awesome! :D

Naomi: Today we went to alot of places. Firstly, Fukuoka City Disaster City Prevention Center. We tried the earthquake, wind and fire stimulus. Trying this three stimulus was very memorable because we are unable to experience such things in Singapore and we are able to learn an extra skills when we facing such danger, be it Singapore or other country. Secondly, we went to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb useum. This help us understand the effects of the atomic bomb such deformities and cancer. Also we are able to learn that peace is very important in the world so that world war will not happen again. Finally, it helps us to get a visual understanding of the impact of the atomic bomb on the people and learn that we could solve problems using other method(S) instead of using harmful method(S).We also went to the Robo Square which helps us to learn more hands-on physics knowledge. We were so lucky that we are able to watch the robort show. During the robort show we were able to watch a new robort which is a sumari. It was doing many high-tech movements which are very impressive. We are also be able to learn what are the equipments use to make the robot and the how it could improve our lives.
