Cyberwellness-Handling Inappropriate Content

Hi everybody and welcome to my blog!

This post is all about handling inappropriate content on the Internet. For example, if you see a website with rude words/pictures/phrases/names etc, you should go away from that website or tell your parents or whoever is with you(not your maid!). Continue reading for more information..

I spend about an hour on the computer but I do not do it daily. Sometimes I spend about only half an hour, fifteen minutes or 45 minutes. My answer is not very clear.
No, I'm not addicted to the computer but sometimes when I'm on the computer I am addicted to it.

When I am addicted to the computer, it effects my routine as I take up more time at the computer than I planned to, so everything gets delayed, even sometimes my dinner!

Fortunately, when I'm addicted to the computer, it doesn't effect my schoolwork as I usually do my schoolwork before I go on the computer.

I can prevent Cyber Addiction by going outdoors, doing the things that I like most(NOT involving computer games), and doing a hobby (Once again, no computers).

Lastly, I'd like to give all my friends that are regularly addicted to the computer a piece of advice: Try not to be addicted to the computer so much. Try going outdoors and do the things that I have mentioned above.

Like to see you UN-addicted!

Effects on Preventive Measures on Pupils

Hi fellow reader, and here's my post:

I think the cancellation of school activities, assemblies, hall gathering etc are quite sensible. Once I was told that a girl got H1N1 and passed it on to others as she went to her CCA. I'm sure our school doesn't want to have any cases here!

These activities don't involve me(CCA-I don't have any). But it will effect my learning if I did have a CCA. It also effects my learning when I have to wait outside the classroom for my teacher, who is sometimes late. That will reduce the teacher's teaching time with us.

If I don't have to stay back after lessons, I normally spend my time revising my work and doing my homework.

The preventive measures have also effected my Chinese Tution as the teachers there take my temperature and stick a green sticker on my shirt before lessons.
Bye!

2009 Project Week

Dear Everyone,

INTRODUCTION
Just before the June holidays, my class was tasked to do posters on this year's theme for Project Week, "Saving The Environment". Even though I was unable to come for the Project Week (as I was ill with Influenza), I enjoyed pitching in to help my fellow teammates, Soo Ching, Rachel, Yen Jui and Wai Pin on the day of the presentation.

OUR PRESENTATION
Let me tell all of you what we did for the presentation:
Soo Ching: She set up and helped with our powerpoint presentation.
Rachel+Wai Ping: They both presented on what we have researched on.
Yen Jui: He picked numbers from a small box. The person whose register number matched the number had to answer the questions from the quizzes that we had organized.
Me: I gave out the prizes to the people who got the answers correct for the quizzes.

GROUP NAME
Now, I can hear you whispering, "Hey, doesn't this 'we' have a group name?" And my answer to that is, "Don't be silly! Of course we have a group name!" And do you want to know it? My group's group name is called "Green Leaders". Well, "green" to you, simply means a colour. But this green actually refers to plants like trees and shrubs. They're green, aren't they?

GREEN TREES
Now, let me tell you what's so important about plants. They are environment-friendly! Plants give out oxygen, which we breathe in, and the plants need carbon dioxide, which we breathe out, you see! So, when we're around plants and trees, you always feel fresh and relaxed because you can breathe well!

THE QUIZZES AND PRIZES
Remember the quizzes we had and the prizes I gave out? If you do, get ready for more information. The quizzes that my group organized were based on the main subject. The prize-giving was a bit tricky, because Soo Ching wanted different things for boys and girls. But don't worry, I managed to get all the prizes correct, thanks to the following notes that I made:

All Correct
Girls: 2 sweets and 1 lollipop
Boys: 1 pencil, sweet and lollipop

Good Try
Girls : 1 sweet and lollipop
Boys : 1 sweet and lollipop

Last Question(difficult)
Girls(if chosen): 1 "Magic Flower"
Boys(if chosen): 1 notebook

Thank You for reading my blog about our project week. Hope you read my blog again, too!
Love,
Wen Shuen

Reflections on SA1 performance

Dear Reader,
Yes, the SA1 papers(all) have treated me fairly as all the papers have questions from the textbooks and the activity books. The reason for my good scores is because I do my assessment books and homework diligently. I guess the practice had paid off. Yes, the enrichment classes in school were useful because it helped me answer difficult questions in the SA1. My mother tutors me at home and that, too, has helped me. Also, I'd like to take these actions to improve my results in the coming CA2 and SA2:
  • Read my textbooks
  • Learn from my mistakes, understand the correct way of answering them, and try not to make the same mistakes again from the activity books and tests
  • Take down notes from each lesson and revise them at home

So, what do you think? Could you, too, try to do some of the same? Maybe it'll help you with your CA2 and SA2, right? Anyway, here's something else for you to consider:

  • Have enrichment classes which teach topics tested in the exams
  • Have "Fun learning" programs

I hope that you will find these ideas useful!

Influenza A HINI

Dear reader,

Influenza A H1N1 is a very deadly disease that is spreading around from country to country every few weeks or even days! It spreads from farmers who got it from pigs and then it spreads on to other people in the world. Many countries are already infected with this disease. The four worst-hit countries are Mexico, US, Canada and Japan.

The other infected (but not so many cases) countries and the non-infected countries try to not have more or even any cases by taking temperature and wearing masks to make sure the virus will not get into one's body system. And as for temperature taking, yes, it's good for children and adults because it can tell you what your temperature is, then if it's too high, you should go and see a doctor, don't come to school as that will infect student after student. If your temperature is all right, then good, continue to stay at school and learn.

Besides taking temperature, schools also encourage students to wash their hands properly with soap and checking for symptoms of the Influenza A H1N1 virus.

Besides all these things, I want to take matters into my own hands for myself too. Here are some things I want to do (and you could, too!)

  • Regular proper hand-washing with soap after and before meals
  • Sanitizing hands after touching dirty items
  • Have enough sleep and eating lots of fruits and vegetables
  • Make sure I get exercise to stay healthy

Hope that you follow my advice on what to do if your country has a few or some or many cases of Influenza A H1N1 Virus. If you still need more information, you can always read the newspapers, surf the Internet or listen to the radio.

All the best,

~Wen Shuen~

Classroom Cleaniless

Dear Reader,
I think my classroom is clean as I always see my classmates, my friends or myself pitching in to help clean the classroom. I encourage everybody to start to help clean the classroom to make sure the whole classroom is free of germs. If we don't clean the classroom, the germs will multiply and will cause illness to the pupils. I keep my own classroom clean by:
  • Sweeping the floor
  • Picking up litter
  • Cleaning the whiteboard

By participating in cleaning the classroom, I've learnt that "In clean environment, you can study better, concentrate better, and pay more attention to the teacher."
Besides these things that I've learnt, I've also learnt a school value in cleaning the classroom, which is "Self-discipline". If we all didn't have self-discipline, we wouldn't have the dicipline to even clean the classrooms!

Cleanly yours,

Wen Shuen

Kindness

Readers,
Kindness means showing care towards others. It is very important to be kind because other people will like you, be your friend and you will be loved by a lot of people due to your kindness.
You can show your kindness by helping people with tasks they cannot manage themselves. As an example, John had helped an old lady carry her shopping after school to her flat where she stays.
I have also done an act of kindness by helping my classmates in their work or corrections, helping them on computer, helping my classmates pick up their fallen things and helping my teachers to carry their things. After I helped them, my friends and teachers were grateful for my help, and I felt very happy.
Even though I have done some acts of kindness, I'd like to do some more... Maybe these:
  • Reminding my friends to complete their homework
  • Telling friends words that they don't understand in textbooks or activity books
  • Washing the cups and plates at home
  • Washing the clothes at home
  • Reading stories to my family members

Lastly, I can promote the message of kindness to my friends by reading to them stories of kindness, so that they can, in turn, can pass it on to others .

Thanks for reading,

Wen Shuen
