Task 2-POST TRAIL activity:blog about your experience during the Changi Airport trail and also in searching for the required information for your bookmark(150-200)words.You may create a group blog or make use of your existing class blog or personal blog.You are to print out the blog page and submit it when school reopens.

through this trip, i learnt more about changi airport, about how many passengers it can carry etc. it was also quite interesting to know more about exchanging money with the money changer, at first i was very blur, but with the help of the teacher, i managed to understand more. i also learnt how to use a clinometer to measure the height of the pillar, it was very tedious at first because we do not know how to use it and other ppl were staring at us, but at least we manage to finish measuring. i learnt many things and these were some examples. i hope that the school would organise more of this trips.

Task 2-POST TRAIL activity:blog about your experience during the Changi Airport trail and also in searching for the required information for your bookmark(150-200)words.You may create a group blog or make use of your existing class blog or personal blog.You are to print out the blog page and submit it when school reopens.

I learnt many things during the Changi Airport trail. Firstly, i learnt how to measure a pillar in the departure hall using an instrument called the clinometer. We did many activities such as counting the number of passengers entering the departure hall calculating the amount of rubbish each standard rubbish bin can contain, etc. In the bus, we did a cloze passage about the history and facts of Singapore Changi Airport. By doing so, i have learnt more about where Singapore Changi Airport is located and what it had accomplished since it first opened. At Station D, we were supposed to measure the actual length (on the floor) of the glass panel. My groupmates and i had fun counting the number of tiles on the floor. Our trainer also taught us how to read the currency exchange rate board. Not only have i gained knowledge from this trail, i also had a lot of fun and hope that there will be more of these activities in the future. As for the bookmark, searching for the information on the internet was quite hard at first as we got many irrelavant information. But it is easier after trying another few more rounds.

-During the Changi Airport trail organised by the school,I learnt about a new way of measuring the pillar at the Departure hall by using the clinometer which me and my group members got from the facilitator.Other than that,I observed different types of scenario at the departure hall when we have to count the number of people(example woman or men)who went in there.Not only that,i also get to gain more knowledge on the airport like when and how many passengers it can take when i was doing the cloze passage at the first page of the booklet.I had also got to know how to read a map when i was doing the task provided at station D(arrival hall),and how to measure the tile of the marble floor although me and my group members found it hard as we always got our measurements wrongly:( I like station F the most as we learnt about the mathematical solutions on how to put the largest possible square in the surface of the table at the Basement Mall. However,I enjoy this trip to changi airport as most importantly, i learnt how to work in groups and cooperate with my other assigned team mates as well. For the researching on the bookmark-task, i learnt about various ways of researching the net for people's opinion from my other team mates. I had realised that it wasnt an easy task for us and we had spent quite some time on it.
