There was a big overhead fresh water aquarium with varieties of fishes. Then we moved on to the Water Spark. Three elements were highlighted in this area that included water, light and air. We tried several hands on activities including water balance, sound cannon and plasma ball. It was really amazing because we have never tried before. Next, we went to the “Pathways to Science” .There was full with information and knowledge about  Science like cell model, light reflection, constellation and many other interesting exhibits. Moving on, we saw Foam Factory, 'Peneroka  Comel', Fossil, and Origami station too. On Level 2 there were two exhibit halls that including Flight, Thinking machine and Energy World. Hands-on activities were provided too. We even read information about the development of Pusat Sains Negara.

A Report on Revamping the Leo Board

A few Leo’s together with a few probationers gathered after school on the 24^th and 27^th of February to revamp the club notice board. The theme for this year’s board is “Asterismous” which means constellations inspired by our previous Leo installation. The board was fitted with decorations that suited  the theme like silver stars, colourful planets, a little rocket and an earth. The stars were wrapped in foil to make it look silver, while the planets, rocket, and earth were brought to life with poster paint. The earth was also covered with photos from the past leo projects. The rocket is used to display when we do and do not have meetings. We had a lot of fun while progressing. The board looked great once it was completed. All leos and probationers who helped out were given project points. It felt really good to see the board once it was done because it was of the hard work, teamwork and effort of the leos and probationers.

A Report on the School Bazaar 2012

            On the 25th of February 2012, Leos from the Leo Club of Assunta had a sale during the school bazaar in conjunction of Curricular Day. Many of the Leos and probationers helped out on that day.

            Everyone gathered in school at around 7.30a.m. After that, we headed to our assigned tent which was in the middle of our school field. While waiting for the other leos who went to our school’s mutiara basement to get tables and chairs, the rest of the leos started to unpack the things. We were selling bubble tea, novels for Nepal’s T-shirt and badges, limited edition bowling T-shirt and last but not least the ‘Save The Animals’ badges.

All the money that was raised on that day was  for the club so that we could fund our upcoming leo projects except for the ‘Novels For Nepal’ items which were the t’shirts and the badges. The money that we were able to raise for that organisation will be used to build a library in a school in Nepal.

            The bubble tea that we sold was a big hit among the students and it finished really fast! It was sold for RM2.50 per cup. The ‘Save the Animal’ badges were selling off pretty well too as well as the shirts and badges from ‘Novels for Nepal’.

            At around 11a.m. we started to pack up all the things. Some of the leos brought the tables and chairs back to the classrooms. It was a really great day that day and i felt that the leos were able to build a stronger bond too.

A Report on 'I love Assunta Picnic'

             On the 18 February 2012, the Leo Club of Assunta lent a hand in the ‘I Love Assunta Picnic’ which was organised by the Assunta Alumni. It was suppose to start at 8.30 a.m. but the Leo’s came early to help set up the stalls, decorate the area, organize the games and lots more.

                   Before the picnic started, we all were given a basket filled with mineral water bottles, roasted chicken, ‘kuih lapis’ and many more delicious foods which was just enough for four people. Then, all of us picked a picnic spot on our school field. At about 8.45 a.m., the stalls started selling their items. There were so many things being sold such as Tupperware branded products, brownies, some pretty jewellery and much more. The prices for the items that were sold were very reasonable.

                   Suddenly, it started to rain, so, we had to move to the side of the hall. We were given plenty of time to enjoy our picnic and to eat the food given.Then, the games started. Many children took part in the games. The first game was ‘Place the marble in the plastic container with copsticks’. They were really excited and enjoyed themselves. The Leos stood by the younger children to help them out. Next was the three legged race. The children worked really well with their partners to get to the finish line.

                   At around 12.00 p.m. everyone started go home after such a long tiring day. That’s when the Leos started to help clean up the place. We made sure that the area was spotless before we left. The Assunta Alumni thanked the Leos for helping out on that day. Although the leos were really tired when the event was over, the leos went home with a big smile on their face.

A Report on the ‘Reading To The Blind’ project

            On the 18th of February 2012 , the Leo club organized a project to help the blind students read. The project was organized by Leo Natalie Yaw and Leo Karen . Five of the Leo members participated in this project which was Leo Charmaine , Lakshmi , Dhaanyaa , Leo Karen and Leo Natalie. The activity lasted for about 2 hours which was from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Universiti Malaya.

            Karen introduced us to the people we are supposed to read to and we went to their carrels( rooms for disable people). We each were given different topics to talk about like about Malaysia's History, Economics and even on ghosts. They used a braille machine which looked like a typewriter to type whatever we said. Sadly, no books are printed in Braille for the blind students at the University. Some of them use tape recorders and will later listen to it. This project was truly a memorable one as it exposed us to something new and most of all it taught us to be grateful to be blessed with a perfect sight.

A Report on the Valentine’s Day Sales

             On the 13^rd and 14^th of February 2012, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta sold marshmallows and cupcakes for Valentine’s Day . The Leo probationers helped out with the project. The sale was held during the senior recess and junior recess in the school canteen.

            The sale of cupcakes  started during the first senior’s. The form 3 Leo probationers walked around the canteen to sell the cupcakes and marshmallows. There were also some Leos who stayed at the stall. As for the second recess which was the form 4 & 5 recess, the sale became very good and we sold off all of our cupcakes and marshmallows at the end of the day. We also sold some of the cupcakes to our teachers too and they liked it very much.

            After the sale, the Leos started to pack and clean up the area so that we could all go back to our respective classrooms.  The sales were really impressive.

A Report on Dragon New Year 2012

            On the 4th of February 2012, Leos from the Leo Club of Assunta paid a visit to Rumah Juara, a home for underprivileged children. The Dragon New Year project was organized to celebrate Chinese New Year with the children. 10 Leos and 5 probationers took part in this project.

            We were gathered at the school by 10.15a.m and we then headed to Rumah Juara. When we arrived, we started by introducing ourselves to everyone. We were then separated into two groups for an ice breaking game. Two Leo members held up a piece of cloth dividing the two groups who are facing each other. When the cloth is pulled down and the representative of each group can see each other, they would say the name of the person in front of them and the one who says it earlier wins. It was a really fun game.

            After the ice breaker, we sat in small groups, each group with one Leo member and a few children. We taught them how to fold lotuses out of red packets. It was tough in the beginning but they never gave up trying. They managed to fold a lot of lotuses and they were then combined together to form a dragon.

           After Leo Amanda finished up the dragon, we played some games with the children. We were divided into two groups and stood in two circles. We then held hands with people who are not standing beside us and we had to untangle our ourselves after that. The next game was Statue Dance. When the music play, everyone has to dance and when the music pause, we have to stay in that position and are not suppose to move. We had three winners for this game. The children are really creative with the dance steps and danced very well.

            We all had a great time and we were glad we took part in this project. We made many new friends and we're surely going to miss all of them.
