T1W4 Journal Writing : Festivals

Hi Everyone,
We are now celebrating Chinese New Year. This is one of the many festivals celebrated by the Chinese. The Malays, Indians and other races also celebrate their own festivals. For this week, I would like you to reflect on the meaning of these festivals and how we can preserve racial harmony in Singapore.

To help you with your reflection, I have listed some questions/pointers below:

1. Tell us about the festival you celebrate.
2. Why do you celebrate this festival?
3. How do you celebrate the festival?
4. Do you know what are the festivals celebrated by the other races? If so, could you name a few? Also tell us who celebrate them and why they celebrate them.
5. Do you think the celebration of the various festivals help in strengthening racial harmony among the various race in Singapore? If so, how?
6. In your opinion, how can we develop stronger bonds among the various races in Singapore?

Looking forward to reading your reflection soon.
Ms Guo

Total Defence 2009

Hello Rainbows!

Our school will be holding an intra-blogging competition for P3-P6 in conjunction with Total Defence Day 2009. This year's theme is "What will you defend?"



           *Click on picture above for more information*

In commemorating 25 years of Total Defence, the logo has been given a tweak to stay in tune with a more modern feel while retaining its familiar identity.
The tagline "It's Personal. Play your Part." is in a handwritten font that emphasises the personal nature of our involvement in Total Defence, reminding
Singaporeans that everyone has a role in protecting the Singaporean way of life. The rounder edges of the logo give it a softer touch, reflecting the personal stake in
Total Defence and encouraging Singaporeans to embrace Total Defence in their daily lives.



So, What will YOU defend?

Netiquette Rules

Rules to become a responsible Netizen and to protect yourself on the internet.


• Do unto others, as you'd have others do unto you.
Be polite and courteous at all times. Remember that you're not communicating with a computer screen, but with a human being with thoughts and feelings just like you. So before you fly off the handle, or send a rude or offensive message, think about the person on the receiving end.

• Do not TYPE ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS as IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING.
If you need to emphasise a word, use asterisks, like *this* or lines, like _this_.

Be aware that the biggest problem with the Internet is that the written word is not easy to interpret. When you speak something, people can hear the tone of your voice. If they can see you, they can take visual clues from your face and body to see if you intend humour or if you are trying to soften what sounds like a harsh sentence. All of this is lost in text, and sometimes responses can come across as mean or rude, even when the writer did not intend them this way. This is the reason some people use emoticons (visual clues) in their e-mails, it saves a lot of confusion.

• Be careful not to use rude or bad language online.
Many providers will terminate your account. Respect the privacy of others.

• Make a good impression. Remember that the written word is the only way you can represent yourself online, so spelling and grammar count. If your are going to be writing a large amount of text for other people to see, make sure you break it up using paragraphs, it will make it easier on the eye for those that will read it.


*Very Important Note!*
There may be many bad influences from the internet. As long as we stay clear of them and do not purposely use those languages/images for bad purposes, we are safe. Remember, we are all nice people. We do not want to be 'bad' people by supporting the bad influences from the internet.

Welcome!

Hello Students of 4.2~

Welcome to a new year, a new class and a new blog!

Let us work towards reaching for the rainbow high up in the sky. If we strive for excellence everyday, we will be able to reach our colourful goals! Remember we work bit by bit, inch by inch. We do not want to jump high up in the sky, only to fall straight down later. We want to work our way up and keep it there. To achieve that, we need to keep working hard and keep putting our best efforts in our behaviour and attitude towards learning.

4.2, let's reach for the beautiful rainbow together! =)
