You'll never fly, if you're too scared of the heights
You'll never live if you're just too scared to die
Everybody wants heaven, I know
But darling freedom ain't free, it’s a long road
You'll never find your place up there in the sky
If you never say goodbye…
All good things must come to an end and on 9th
April, Jia Xin and Jeremy organised a farewell session for EMRS students. The
session happened from 9am to 5:30pm in school. We lined up a wide range of
special activities and games for this special day!
Icebreakers
Name Bingo
Bingo is a game where each person will be given a sheet of
bingo paper with 5X5 grid of personal statements. Each person had to go around
the group and ask people to sign on the grid that describes them.
Tangled
Each team has to stand in a
circle facing each other. Students then have to hold another student’s hands to form a knot. When the knot is formed, teams will then
attempt to untangle themselves as fast as possible to emerge the winner.
Toilet Roll Game
Students have to form a circle using the roll of toilet
paper provided. Each student has to tear off the sheets
of toilet paper they would normally use and then pass the roll to another person.
For each piece of toilet paper that they pull, they would have to say one fact about
themselves.
Werewolf
There are two phases: "Night," when the werewolf
may eliminate a player from the game, and "day," which the players have to
vote to eliminate a suspect. These phases follow each other continuously until
all the werewolves have been eliminated. Some players may be given a role with a
special ability. Common examples include: Hunter, Cupid and Witch.

Amazing Race
Thereafter, everyone gathered in the classroom to kick start
the amazing race. Each team was allocated a station. Teams will incur time penalties if they fail to
complete the station within the given time. The final pit stop was at SBM sky garden. The first team to reach the pit stop (sky garden) wins the
game.

six pictures of a celebrity and they must place them all in chronological order
from the earliest to the latest.
Station 5: Pictionary
One team member would spin around 10 times. After which he/she would go to the

In conclusion, we had a fun and exciting day embracing and
appreciating the presence of each other.
We have gotten to know each other for this entire semester and now we will go our separate ways. Some will remember and some will forget each other, but we will always have a part of each other inside us.
