Term 4 Week 3 : Recycling

Recycling is very fun. We can reuse the items. For example, we can reuse a empty plastic bottle for doing other things. It is nesseccery tpo recycle things becauyse it can help to save the earth from becoming extinct. We can recycle water,after we use the water to wash the rice we can use the water to water the plant. I practice recycling when I have free time. Mostly, I recycle plastic materials. Like the chocolate box. After eating the chocolate the in the box, I can use the box to keep others things. I think the school is doing enough recycling. THe school can help to bring newspapers, platic bottles or even metal cans. I will tell them to always use the '3Rs'

Term 4 Week 1: Reading

I think reading is important. I usually read the story Jigsaw Jones. It is a cartoon detective book. His stories are very interesting. In each series, he have a mystery to solve and he always uses secret detective codes to communicate with her partner. I read around 10 books every month. I read because it can help me in my composition and improve my vocabulary. I do not know if computer gam,es are affecting pupils reading. I would recommend every primary 3&4 to read Jigsaw Jones story book. It has many series and you can learn secret codes to communicate with your friends!

Holiday Homework 3(T3Wk 9): The Olympics Games

The origin of the olymipics is from Greece. Greece started the 1st olmipics in the world. It is important to keep us fit and healthy. I have watched many olymipics event.(Volleyball, Beach Volleyball,Track and Field, Diving, Table Tennis) Li Jia Wei impreesed me the most because they won a gold medal for singapore. I would like to take part in the olymipics event because i want to make singapore proud. I think it is worth to make olymipics event because people will get to have fun and make their own country proud.

Holiday Homework 2 (T3Wk8): National Day

National Day is a day which all singaporeans celebrate singapore's birthday. We celebrate national day because we want to remember the day that singapore can make it up till now. I celebrated national day by going out to eat with my family. I think that our school's celebration was so-so. It is because, it rained. We can have more booths like the sports carnival. I hope too have a lucky celebrations because we will go to the national preview and i hope that it will not rain.

Holiday Homework 1 (T3Wk7): Copyright

Copyright is when you copy somehting that is not yours and you must say that is other people's work and you lend it from them. Some copyright places are like google, yahoo. It is wrong infringe people's work, you are stealing. We must right down the source that you take it from. If you do not take people's thing without permission, you may be briught to the police station. No I have not seen people infrige. We must always write the source of the place we took the imformation to get into copyright.

Personal Response 5: Earthquakes

(Not sure if I am right...)
I think that when under the world, the land erupts and then there will be an earthquake. When there is an earthquake, people must run away from it. If they are not in time to run, they must try to find something hard that they can hide under it to prevent from getting injured. I think that scientist might not be able to detect an earthquake because they need to test it before it can work and how can the scientist scan under the world? The latest country that occurred an earthquake is sichuan. I think this country have earthquakes because the underworld erupts. I think there might be earthquake in Singapore. It is because other countries have disaster so may Singapore. All countries might have disasters. I hope that Singapore will never have any disaster.

Reflection 5: Mother's Day

I think that mother's day is the day for mothers to rest.On mother's day,I helped my mother to mop the floor. I gave my mother a card. During dinner time we went to eat at a buffet restraunt. We ate lots of food there. My relationship with my mother is very close. My mother had been trying very hard to get my studies into good standard. I will make my mother happy to stregthen my relationship with my mother. I think mother's are important to childrens live, because without mothers, there might not even be childrens. One special thing to do is to make my mother have her happiest day of her live, because it will make her know that I care for her.

Personal Response 4: Child Safety Belt in School Buses

I do take the school bus home from school. The childrens in the school buses are quite good. Some of them will sit down and wait quietly or play their phones until they reach their home. Sometimes other pupils will shout at each other when they are angry. I agree with Ms Karen Koh that installing seat belts on the buses is good as the pupils will not be able to run about in the buses or even play a fool.I do not agree with Mr Leow Beng Kiong even though the pupils will reach their houses within 15 minutues, it is also helpful.Even though installing seat belts are costly, the seat belts will be able to make the pupils more quiet. I think the best way is to install seat belts in the buses and then if those pupils are good and quiet, the bus attendants can give them some rewards.

Regards, Gary

My Reflection

I think we must be careful with the food we eat. What if the food we eat contains germs, we might get the hand, foot and mouth disease. Hand, foot and mouth disease is a contagious disease. It spreads very fast. I think the food in our school canteen help to provide and promote healthy eating. Some of the healthier food and drinks are like milo, porridge ...... I do not have other choices of heathier food. I really think we must check out the food we eat.

Personal Response 3: Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease

My Response

I think it is important for children to stay away from crowded places if they have signs of infection.It is because if they have the hand, foot and mouth disease, they will spread as it is contagious. Hand, foot and mouth disease spreads very fast. It is essential to follow the good hygiene practices because it can keep hand, foot and mouth disease away from us. 'Good hygiene practices' means to keep yourself clean and keep germs away from us. For example, washing your hands before eating. I hope that the hand, foot and mouth disease can stay away from earth so that we can be save.

Personal Response 2: Courtesy

I am going to tell you what i think about courtesy. I think courtesy is about being thoughtful to other people. We must think of other people before thinking for yourself. I think the story 'Kong Rong Rong' impresses me more. It is because he is thoughtful.He always think about his brother. I think he is a very good person. I think our class has some courtesy people and some not.Those courtesy people will think of other people while those that are not courtesy will not think of others and do what they want. I hope our class will have more courtesy people than not courtesy people.

Reflection 2: My Dream

Hi everyone, all of us dream of becoming somebody, owning something or doing something which we really want to do.

Whatever it is, it will not be possible to realise our dream if we do not have a plan. In this reflection, I would like you to tell me about your dream. Here are some questions that may help you write down your reflection:

a) What is your dream?

b) Why do you think this dream is so important to you?

c) How do you plan to realise your dream?

d) Do you think people should have dreams? Why?

I hope you will write your reflection as comprehensively as possible. One or two sentences will not do justice to your dream.

Waiting eagerly to read your reflection.

Best wishes,

Mr Ong

Maths:50/50(best)

Mother Tongue: 48/50(Quite Good)

Science:46/50(Good)

I obtain alot throughout the CA1. I learnt that we must gave confidence in ourself. We cannot be over confident.I perform quite well. I feel happy with my results except English. I think I did very well for maths, science and Chinese. Unfortunately, my English is not that good. Out of all my marks, my English is the lowest. I think that my English did not do well because I did not study hard enough for my English. I must try harder for the coming SA1. I must work harder.I will study English for a longer hour.I will try to win sharvan this year. I will try to get 1st in class and try to go in the top 10.
