The long anticipated Passion Pursuit (PP) Exploration Modules took place on 27 and 28 January. Ariel Koh from 1 Loyalty felt that the enrichment programmes were “a good way to learn new things.” The modules allowed students to have fun while learning new skills too.
‘Diamante’ is an Italian word that means a sparkling collection of sequins. One of the modules was Diamante Art, where students placed plastic diamond jewels onto a pattern to look like a mosaic. Different colours and sizes of plastic diamonds, as well as a canvas were given to each student for the activity. As easy as it sounded, doing Diamante Art needed a lot of patience! Arianne from 2 Diligence reflected, “This activity enabled me to be more focused and patient. I also learnt some stress-relieving exercises to increase my level of focus.”
Another module that we excitedly embarked on was Video-Making. We recorded a video based on one of the school values and learnt about the different shots we could use. Through this, we learnt how to more effectively take videos. Ding Yeng Ning from 1 Wisdom remarked, “I learnt that cooperation is very important during video-making as I had to work in a team.” Today, videos are often used for entertainment, explaining or even instructing. Thus, knowing how to create good videos would be a handy skill to have.
Last but not least was the Terrarium module where students learnt about upcycling. Cartons were used to make the exterior and we were given decorations and the plant, before being told that with enough care, a flower might even grow! “We also had a solar powered LED light to take home to decorate our terrarium!” exclaimed Mathilda from 2 Purity. “It was truly amazing how we could turn one used carton into such a beautiful terrarium and we were glad we had chosen this module.”
We were glad that we were given the opportunity to attend these enrichment programmes and look forward to them next year. We will definitely be putting the skills we learnt into good use.
