Reflections-Keng Soon “From the start of the project till now, I have faced trouble in trying to cope with work and this project at the same time. But my group mates have been especially great in helping to share the load and ensure that everyone plays their part and influences how our project will turn out” 17

Reflections-Darryl “From the start, I was not sure how to proceed on this project as I haven’t done one of this sort before. Furthermore, I also faced difficulty in persuading Ai Tong Primary School to allow us to go and conduct our preliminary survey. But eventually I got the hang of it and ensured that our plans could push through.” 18

Time was not on my side but I know that after the competitions, I can help my group more” 19
