Socratic Seminar

Hello everyone. Today, I shall be the blue hat and summarise the entire seminar. Firstly, The topic is : " who or what is the real lamb that gets slaughtered in the story."

As for Jun ning, Darrell and Ke xuan, they thought that the lamb should be Mr Maloney as he had the biggest sacrifice of losing his own life.

However, David, Liang rui, Wen han and Yi Hong thought that the real lamb is Mrs Maloney as she was the one that losed her husband and might be jailed.

As for Alvin and my opinion, we think that the real lamb is the baby which Mrs Maloney is carrying as the baby lost his or her father and might also lose his mother.

Matthias, on the other hand, felt that all three of them were the lamb as all of them got "slaughtered" in their own ways.

Lastly, i would like to end this post by saying that this seminar was indeed a very fruitful one. Keep it up everyone!!!! :D

Typical Day In school

Hello everyone. Today, i will describe my day in school. Firstly, we had P.E lessons as the first lesson of the day. We went to the gym and Mr Lee, our teacher, showed us how to use the gym equipments and i tried to use one machine to help me with my chin-ups. It was very fun and interesting. We had recess after P.E lessons and me and my friends decided to play basketball. However, a P.E teacher spotted us and sent us out of the court. He also sent us out the last time because we were in school uniform. But we were in P.E attire today and he still scolded us for being on the court. There were still two basketball courts empty and i did not understand why he did not let us have a game of basketball. I think that it was quite unreasonable of him to send us off the court without giving us a proper and adequate explanation.

That led us to having an unhappy recess. After our break, we had Chinese lessons. After that, we had Geography lessons and Mdm Chan returned us our test papers. Woo hoo! I scored 20(+1 for wrong marking) / 30 !!! I GOT AN A2.

Immediately after Geography lessons we had Language Arts lessons by Ms Gordon.

Well, i shall end my post here due to time constrain. Byes!

Nuisance callers dial up a 999 logjam


Hello everyone. Today, my topic of discussion will be on nuisance callers dialing the 999 hot line.

Firstly, I would like to say that all these nuisance callers should be more aware of the consequences of their actions. For all they know, they may cause another emergency call to be delayed by 30 seconds to a minute. This may have resulted in the caller already being harmed by the time the police could get back to him or her.

Secondly, I would like to offer some tips for the nuisance callers.
You should call 999 if :
-A crime is in progress
-If a criminal suspect is close by, or you know where the person is.
-If a further crime may happen
-If someone is badly hurt or in danger

You should NOT call 999 when:
-It is a non-urgent situation in which there is no risk to life or property.
-When immediate action is unnecessary.

Lastly, I would like to offer a few suggestions for the police. I feel that the police should trace down and find out who the nuisance callers are and punish them if they repeat the offence. I also think that the police should create another hot line for non-emergency calls.

Thank you for reading !

My typical day at school

Hello everyone. Today, we had P.E in school for our first lesson. We went to the cardio room at SALT centre to do some physical training. After that, i played table tennis with a few of my friends at the table tennis tables below the classroom block.

After our reccess cum P.E, we had chinese lessons. Zhang lao shi gave us back our chinese comprehension practice paper. I was quite delighted with my score. ^-^ . After chinese lessons with Zhang lao shi, we had Geography lessons with Mr Lim. We did a worksheet of measuring the distances of maps. After Geography lessons, we had lessons for language arts. Ms Gordon came in and told us that this lesson would be spent watching videos on the computer. Unfortunately, the computer could not work and in the end, we had to do silent reading.

Yay! Its recess time after language arts lesson.

After recess, we had our final lesson of the day - Arts. The art teacher taught us some tricks our eyes would play on us when viewing pieces of artwork.

Well, this has been my typical day at school. Bye!
