2011 (S1) Year-End Fun Pack: English

Celebrating Diversity

The 3 things that I have learnt:


1) If it weren't for the various people coming to Singapore, I wouldn't have had the chance to taste the different food from around the world without actually having to travel the world eat them.


2) I learnt that even if you were born earlier than your friend, you may still be shorter than him/her.


3) I learnt that people born in the same month don't necessarily need to have anything in common.


2 things that I liked about the lesson:


1) It was fun, the queuing up part.
2) The interactive way Mrs. Lew explains things is very captivating.

Maths Reflection

I want to improve on many things but I know that I must take this one step at a time. Hence, I'll start with the most urgent: My time management. I need to manage my time and make sure that I am able to complete each given task on time. :)

Chapter 4: Algebra Puzzle [Advanced]

My Solution:

57 - 34 = 23 (shuriken/gear)

61 - (23 x 2) = 15 (apple)

34 - (15 x 2) = 4 (clock)

Chapter 4: Algebra Puzzle

My Solution:

33/3 = 11 (star)

41 - (11 x 2) = 19 (pumpkin)

35 - 11 - 19 = 5 (drum)

Math, Real Numbers

Post-Orientation Reflection

My REFLECTION! Woohooo!

Highlights of my 2 weeks of orientation:

- When my friends and I finally got to get our lone female PSL to finally start talking more.

- When I completed the high elements during camp

- When I made my first female acquaintance in SST

During the 2 weeks, I have to admit, I experienced little to no 'low moments'. There were a few so...

1) When I learnt that there were only 7 girls in my class

2) When most of the CCA sport activities available were only for males

3) When I learnt that there was 2 Sports and Wellness lessons every odd week. (Why so many?)

I think that during this 2 weeks, the SA lesson was the most memorable; probably one I'd be able to remember even after I graduate from this school. I learnt that I like to have fun. I look forward to what destiny brings my way.

்என் பெயர் ஜல்சி சாந்தினி. என்க்கு இசை என்றால் மிகவும் பிடிக்கும். நான் தமிழ் பேச கஷ்டப்படுவேன். அதனால் நான் நிறைய புத்தகங்கள் படிக்க முடிவு செய்தேன். ஆனால், எனக்கு தமிழ் புத்தகங்களில் அர்வம் அல்ல. அதனால் நான் இன்னும் புத்தகங்கள் படிக்க மாட்டேன். தமிழ் மோழியில் நான் நன்றாக செய்ய ஆசைப் படுகிறேன்.

Mac Attack: Day 2 -End of The Day Reflection

Mac Attack: Day 2 - Tower Building

Day 1 Mac Attack 1 - Activity 4: End-of-Day-Reflection

First day of school was... not that bad, actually. I had butterflies in my stomach and all but it went away almost as soon as it came. The PSLs were really accommodating so I had loads of fun.

We started the day off with the ice-breakers 'Skittles' & 'Blow Wind Blow'. It was enjoyable and at the the same time effective - we (kinda) achieved our goal of familiarizing our selves with one another.

Today, Mrs Lew - our fantastic, wonderful, awesome, not to mention kind, form teacher - taught us the 3Rs.

The 1st R: Roles

The 2nd R: Responsibilities

The 3rd R: Rights

We even did an activity on it: Allocated into groups of 3 or 4, we made our own rules (with respect to the 3Rs). Mrs Lew hung them up on the board (like a gallery) and told us to survey them. We had to take a picture of a rule that intrigued us/we could relate to. I chose, 'Freedom of speech'. Simply because it intrigued me.

LEARNED

I learnt how to DANCE! I learnt life lessons - 'Being Sensible' & 'Being Safe' will bring you a long way in life (some teacher said it, I thought it was pretty sensible). Plus, the 3Rs are an important factor in life! O.o Did you know?!

WHY SST?

Simple, I guess. One, there's the matter of the 'Learning Device'. Second, SST is the school of Science and Technology - I wann

a be a either a dentist or a doctor and both of my aspirations require me to be good in science (which I am not). I like the teaching style and teacher(s) too - They're kind and easily approachable.

See the picture? We're playing 'Blow Wind Blow'. I GREW! - I play my role as a fellow student. (The 3Rs are applicable here! WOW.)
