A little quiet this week. Too much holiday homework?
Do try to post more on this blog. Year 1s can contribute too:)
And congratulations to Reeve for being the best year 2 :)

Phoenix question 3

For Phoenix Question 3,

i think the answer is quite simple and can be found in treasure So here:


- Factors for a Successful Campfire
a) The most critical success factor for a campfire is identifying the Emcees and ensuring the participants
learn the campfire songs.
b) Appropriate and early invitation of Guest-Of-Honour is a showing a form of polite gesture.
c) Decorations and sitting arrangements are recommended to make the campfire look more presentable.
d) Offering good food and venue is optional, but with the presence of any Guest-Of-Honour or VIPs, it
would be recommended

You can just copy this chunk and send it off (by 10pm on sunday) and hopefully we'll overtake Iota.

Good job everyone, we are finally out of the pit of 3rd place and are in 2nd place, 3 points behind Epsilon. So keep it up. (Pls help sponsor me for the spray paint and the pe t-shirt for our flag) It cost 11.60 in total btw. Anyway, i still think our blogskin is the best even if it is a little old. as Amos said, please look at epsilon's blog (not Iota's) for inspiration and post any ideas . Btw, please try to answer the uni questions so that our platoon can get as many points as possible. as all of us are muggers :p, this should be no problem . Thanks.

P.S. Ill bring the pole for tomorrow and please start writing for the platoon points. Hopefully, we will be able to overtake Epsilon by the time Invictus camp starts. Let's go in as winners!

HI from your year 3 lol

Hi guys, I'm your friendly year 3.

Just saying hi and hope to see u all at March Camp
And try to change the blogskins. In comparison to the other platoon blogs, ours' does look quite dull. Go check the other blogs out yeah
Have FUN!!! :D

Amos
your friendly year 3

the  awesome omega flag! Thanks to those who help to come and do the flag, like forster, reeve, fintan, harish and benjamin. Jia cheng, thanks for the brushes. ( the spray paint is water proof )
cheers! zhen si qi

Good news: we have completed the platoon flag! Thanks to fintan, si qi, reeve, harish and benjamin for turning up, and jia cheng for providing the brushes. Woohoo! - forster

I really hope that this platoon can carry on to be bonded together, and for the sec ones to pass a meaningful time in red cross in RI. (please revise your work during holiday,that time cannot wasted)

Please do remember to come (if you can) and paint our flag. It should be at the Raja block (i think) and should be from 12.30pm(so ASAP please) until about 1.30 or when we finish the flag. Thanks.

James here. For Ωmega.

Hi all

I'm James (from 1J) and it's really nice to meet you all.  I feel quite honored to be in the Omega platoon. I hope that the S2s will organize stuff like games as a way for us to bond with each other closer. Keep up the good work!

And this is an atomic stove (with solid fuel on top of it). sec 1s, best to buy these as well cos you will definitely need them. and buy some triangular bandages as well, u can get them from any pharmacy. -forster

this would be a picture of a mess tin, in case the sec 1 need any reference, please post more often.

Hi, I am Fintan. Greetings to all. Hoepfully, you will remember my name and the names of my fellow sec 2s (admittedly a bit hard :P) Anyway, I forgot what we are supposed to write on the blog ( although funnily enough, I know what the sec 1s are supposed to do ). Ok, hopefully, sec 1s are settled into secondary school life already. And, as Reeve said, quite slack now, I know. (insider info from my brother) So, relating back to RIRC. Some of you may not be so enthusiastic about RIRC now (i know, Red Cross was my 6th choice btw) but you will soon grow to love it :D. Although I think the seniors now are kind of nicer to us now (compared to last year *shudders*). Hopefully, you are not getting shouted or pumped as much now. Yeah, so that;s all I have for today. Hopefully, we'll be able to meet understand each other better in March Camp (Don't PON and always be ready for a fire drill :DDD)

Hey all Omegians,

This is ur friendly sec 2 forster :) So are u guys looking forward to march camp, especially the sec 1s? The sec 2s had a very (ahem ahem) fun march camp last year, so lets hope that the sec 1s will find this year's march camp fun as well. :D

What you expect of the Sec2? (Vincent Sim)

I expect the Sec 2 to be nice and not frightening and guide us along the journey of red cross.

Pls try to post as often as possible when you have time. Like Kian Guang IC said, the platoon post is a space for us to reconnect and share with each other. Pls don't let the platoon blog die!

Fact of the day: How to Calculate Refractive Angle
This will come in useful for Sec 2s when we cover refraction.
The formula (Snell's Law) is as such: n = sin i/sin r
However, when the light travels from the refractive medium with a higher refractive index first, then it should be written as: anw instead of n and the angle of incidence(i) and the angle of refraction (r) should be reversed.
