Fence Building Field Trip

On the 12th of May, our class gr.10, went field trip to the Ger district. The purpose of the field trip was to build fence, which was related to our previous technology project called "Enclosure vs, Exposure". We head to the place and we ate lunch on the way. On our way, Mrs. Griffith was with us and explained to us about the place we are visiting and what we are going to do. We arrived in the Ger district and looked around the community center 'Flourishing Futures'. We saw little kids having a class. After, we walked to other places near. We saw Winky dink travel agency owned by Mrs. Griffith and the places where some families live whom Mrs. Griffith knows. Mrs. Griffith talked about fund raising dinner held in Hong Kong and the amount of money that was contributed to her community center. She was touched when she talked about it.
After visiting certain places where Mrs. Griffith showed us, we went to build the fence. There was a land and we had to dig a hole for the pole(for fence) and dig mounds of dirts for toilet. I've dug for a hole for the pole. When we saw the hole, it wasn't really dug up. When we dug and we have placed a pole inside. In the hole, my whole arm fit. We put the pole and finished up with putting small rocks in first, than bigger rocks as it fills up. We used a long piece of metal stick to finish up. When I finished up with the hole for pole, I went to help to dig the toilet. I used shovel for this. It wasn't easy as I thought and it required labor. For me, it was hard to handle the shovel. Anyway I had fun digging with the shovel. The place dug up for toilet was reaching my shoulder. We have dug a lot.
Before I came to build the fence, I thought what can a small group change. But when we actually dug a hole and place for toilet with effort, I realized we can make a change or we can actually do something that helps. I was proud of myself and it was fun field trip missing some school lessons! kkk
