Our reflection

What we enjoyed most about the task was meeting together and learning about new knowledge about the past of the Singapore river that we did not know. Some of the difficulties we faced where planning on meeting up. As we had to plan correctly in order to meet up at a good time for everyone, it was hard. Even though we had planned out a time to meet up, Jin Hao had arrived later than Iskandar and Gavin. As Gavin and Iskandar were tired of waiting, they left Clarke Quay MRT first and when ahead to do their project. Jin Hao arrived at Clarke Quay much later and got lost. After finding his way back to the MRT, he finally reaches Raffles MRT and meets up with the team. One area our group could do better was being able to communicate well with each other. Due to misunderstandings, one of us got lost and delayed the time.

The change and continuity of the Singapore river

Change: Somethings of the singapore river that would change would be the structure of some buildings. Other changes would the water in the rivers as they may be polluted. The technology would change around the river to if different technologies are found.

Continuities: The boat tours along the river may continue and the enjoyments and food may also continue.
