Wildlife in Danger: Pandas

by Ian Ng

Giant pandas first became endangered in 1990 due to poaching and deforestation. China’s government set up 13 panda nature reserves. Some farming fields were left to grow back into bamboo forests. Trees and bamboo grow back well, and pandas’ habitat is recovering. Pandas are given reintroduction training to get them ready for release into the wild. Once training is complete, pandas are sent back in their habitat to let the species continue.

Viking's Aeroplane Competition 24th January 2021 by Kayla Elizabeth Ng

 

On a cloudy day on the 24^th of January 2021, the Viking Cub Scouts held a paper aeroplane contest at Admiralty Park. There were three events, the first event was flight duration, the second event was distance and the last was accuracy.  As the pack separated into their Sixes, it began to rain but nobody got wet as we were all in the shelter.

Each Six discussed among themselves, choosing which aeroplanes to use for which contest. Some cubs were distracted, as there were many annoying mozzies.  After everybody was done folding and choosing their aeroplanes, the contest began. Some cubs were excited while others were nervous. The first round was try-outs, each cub had a chance to do every event and see which Six had the most points. After that, each Six chose a representative to do the event. The competition had begun!

The representatives of each team each had their own specially designed aeroplanes. The adults helped determined who was the winner. The winner of that round had an aeroplane that when he threw it upwards floated lazily around and around before drifting to the ground and having a record of 5 seconds. In the second event the winner had a very thin dart plane that when thrown it pierced through the air like an arrow and had a record of 6metres. In the third event, the winner had good aim and won herself 10 points!

Although not all the Sixes won an event each, they all learned which paper aeroplanes worked best and how to win and lose graciously.  The winning Sixes were thoughtful of the other Sixes that didn’t win and gave some of the treats that they had earned to them. Everybody had a fun time.
