Hi everybody.This post will tell you about the F1 Racing held at Marina Bay in Singapore and also more about F1 Racing around the world.'F1' is actually Formula One. F1 is a racing car .The first F1 racing was in the 1950's.It was held the cities such at Paris.I think the Singapore should stage F1 because they have shown it in other countries but it should be stage it in Asia too.I like Kimi Raikkonen.He is the winner of the F1 Racing that was held in Singapore.He had lots of believe in himself and also sportsmanship that was in him.What I like about F1 Racing is that when the viewers encourage the racers to move on,the drivers would continue to give their best effort to move on and win for the race.Yes,I did watch the F1 racing on television.I think that the racers worked very hard to strive and also win this competition and I know that even if we don't win,we have the excellence to do our very best to win the competition.I watched what my father has recorded on his phone and I saw how fast the racers raced.My father is the police that was guarding the F1 racing too. I really enjoyed knowing more about the F1 Racing and I will always put in excellence to do my very best to acheive :)

When you throw things that are recyclable item in to the recycling bin that is called ' recycling'.I understand that recycling is to reuse things after you throw them in the bin.Last week, my school actually had a recycling competition.We had to bring newspapers, plastic bottles and aluminium cans.Most of the other classes brought a stack of newspapers.It was stacked up at the back of their classrooms so high! I think they did a very good job to win this recycling competition.It is necessary to recycle things because we can reuse things that recyclable.

You can recycle by reusing plastic bottles such as Green Tea , Coca Cola Zero and more, to put in plain water or use it for Arts & Crafts.For plastic bags , we can bring along to reuse it to bring it to supermarkets and mini marts too.For aluminium cans, you can just throw it in the recycling bin or do more stuff with it.There are many ways to recycle things.


I practise my recycling by taking either the yellow or green recycling bag that is usually placed outside my house and put newspapers,plastic bottles,aluminium cans and more.After that, I would put it inside the large green recycling bin downstairs.There was a time when I wanted to recycle my things,the recycling bin was full of yellow and green plastic bags.I think most from my area really help the place get more cleaner and cleaner.


I think the school has done a good job in recycling.They do understand what is recycling.I saw that the classes have braought alot of recyclable items everyday to win the competition that Mr Koo has organised.I really think it is a great idea for organising a recycling competiton for the whole school.It help them to learn about recycling more.I think the school should recycling more not just to win the competition but to keep the envoirment clean.


This is the message to everyone:
Keep recycling and don't stop. It is important to keep the envoirment clean.

1. Do you think reading is important?
2. What do you usually read?
3. How many books or magazines do you read in a month?
4. Why do you read/not read?
5. Do you think that computer games are affecting pupils in their reading?
6. How can the school encourage more pupils to read?
7. If you were to recommend one book which everyone must read, what would it be?
I am looking forward to reading your reflection.

High School Musical : Stories From the East High

Fairy rescue by Gwyneth Rees

Hannah Montana

Reading is an important thing to do.It helps us to improve in our English or maybe have fun reading a favourite book.I usually read book that involves fairies and also some of the storybooks I read are shows that are shown on television.Like Hannah Montana,High School Musical and more.In a month,I usually read 3 storybooks and for magazines,I usually read only about 1 or more.I read book that has 100+ pages and I do not like to read books that contain big words or word that cannot be seen propely,like tiny words.Sometimes,computer games might affect our reading but sometimes,we can read by browsing some stories in the computer.I think that our school can encourage more students to read by asking them to go to the library to borrow books that they like. If I were to recommend one book which everyone must read,it would be books that involve subjects like English,Maths,Science and maybe Arts & Crafts.

I do play computer games. I play them to entertain myself when I'm bored at home or I have nothing to do.Sometimes I play games that teach me subjects but sometimes I play games that involves action , adventure or any games that are interesting.I'm attracted to computer games because sometimes its fun and sometimes I have to study by playing games that involves subjects such as English,Mathematics,Science or maybe Malay (MT) . I think most of the student plays computer games because they are boring at home or they do not have anything to do. I usually play computer games for about 1 hour daily.Sometimes, it will affect your studies but sometimes you can learn through playing games that involves subjects that are taught by your teacher.I am aware that people can be addicted to computer games.I am going to study more than playing such games.

The 'Olympics' were created in Greece to help the soldiers stay strong and in shape while not at war with events such as shot put, people were trained as human cannons,pole vault and high jump helped people get over large walls.We can strengthen ourselves and sport are mostly for entertainment.I have watched the Olympics . I watch the Olympics because it helps me to try out this sports and improve in my P.E. (not weightlifting or any villain sports (: ) I'm impress with team Singapore in table tennis , Jing Junhong , Li Jia Wei , Tan Paey Fern , Wang Yue Gu , You Meng Yu and Zhang Xueling.I wouldn't participate in the Olympics.I think it is worth organising the Olympics because we can know how long has this athlete train and may be after few months or years , has this person improve in the Olympics or is it its first time being in it.It also can show their skills in the sport that are doing.

Holiday Homework 2 (T3Wk8): National Day

Hi Everyone, we have just celebrated our National Day. P5 also attended the NE Show which is similar to the National Day Parade.

For our holiday homework, we will reflect on the significance of National Day.

To guide you , I have posed some questions below:

1. What is National Day?

2. Why do we celebrate National Day?

3. How did you celebrate National Day?

4. What do you think of our school's National Day celebration?

National Day is a day when independence was achieved.The National Day is often taken as the date on which a state or territory achieved independence or the introduction of a democratic constitution. I celebrated National Day with my classmates and friends at school.They included games and activities for us to play with.During lessons we had time to made cards of Singapore Flyer and put it outside our classroom.We also sang some of this year's National Day Songs.Our school's National Day celebration was interesting and fun.We can maybe add more games to the celebration and also more fun activities for us to do in class!That would be more fun!I thought maybe we can also do an appreciation to Singapore by designing e-postcards and show them during assembly.Always remember this,we are made from Singapore ;D I hope that Singapore will be clean & green and also be a great place for happy Singaporeans to stay in and have fun!
