We are Natalie and Kang Hui. We have discussed and compiled the list of things that occurred throughout our team's CmPS (Community Problem Solving) project.  We educated the students via the following:    =====

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">It was a one week campaign i <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">n Rosyth School to educate our students on prevention of the birds. Bird Buster Week consisted the following: <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"> =====

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">**<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">VIDEO SKIT **<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"> =====

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Our video skit was mainly about birds coming to the canteen and the students trying to get rid of them. They finally realised the main reason was about them leaving food around. We showed this short 5 minute (I think) video skit to the students on our Bird Buster Week and students enjoyed it thoroughly. <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"> =====

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">**EXHIBITION BOOTH** <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"> =====

=
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">We had our Exhibition Booth outside our School Canteen and taught the pupils of the problems the birds cause and why and how to prevent them. We also had a survey to see if they really understood and would clear up and pick up litter after they eat. Our exhibition booth proved to be very successful as students gained a deeper insight on this problem caused by the birds. **<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">POSTERS **<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"> =====

=
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Posters were put around the school to serve as constant reminders for the students, so that they don't simply forget about our whole project. The aim of our project was to make sure the students understand and play a part to reduce the numbers of birds from coming into the canteen. Even after we have left the school, the posters will still remain as reminders to the students. **<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">BIRD BUSTER FUNFAIR **<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">We held a Funfair during the recesses so students could come down to play games! It was also learning in a fun way, so that they would not get bored, and this would be easier for them to absorb the necessary and useful information. We were also able to earn some money to help subsidise our Future Problem Solving Conference in Michigan, US. **<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">WEBSITE **<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"> We also created a website, so students can also share with their family members about this problem at home. The website is high-tech, so they will definitely enjoy it! It is also to update with more information we gather about the birds. <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">**IRS EXHIBITION** <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">We presented our project at the I<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">RS ( <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">Individualised Research Study) fair 2008 at Nanyang Primary School. We set up a booth to explain our project to the people who came to look. <span style="font-family: garamond, 'new york', times, serif;">//(I know that's seriously short but I've got a mental block on what happened there. Please HELP!!!!)//   <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace,  sans-serif;"> **FPS REGIONAL FINALS**<span style="font-family: garamond, 'new york', times, serif;"> //(Well, my mum says "regional" is the right term.)// **& FPS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE**  Our team (RAGG) was selected to represent Singapore along with another school. We attended the regional finals of the FPS (Future Problem Solving) competition in Melbourne, Australia. We won second place in our category and we have been invited to the International Conference that will be held next year in Michigan, USA.<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif;">  =====
