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

Earth Day

Dear Reader,

Yes, Earth Day is important to me becuase that is the day when we remember Earth, so as not to treat the Earth so badly.

I understand by this phrase, "save the Earth" that we should save the Earth from being seriously hurt by humans.
Of course, you know the phrase "Reuse, Reduce and Recycle", right? It means:
  • Reuse- Use something again
  • Reduce- Make something happen less
  • Recycle- Make something again for another use

On Earth day, my family and I can play this game:(follow steps)

  1. Set up some bins
  2. Place some items that can be recycled, reused or reduced on a table
  3. Family members must try to sort out all the different items on what can be done with it

Nice? O.K, start playing!

Social Studies Learning Journey To Farms

Dear Reader,
On 7th April, we went to visit four farms. Why these farms? Because these farms use the nowadays method of growing food. The farms we visited were a Hydroponic vegetable farm, Qian Hu fish farm, Marine Fisheries department and the Goat Farm. They all used a very unqie way of getting products instead of using a longer and more tedious way. For example, the Goat Farm used tubes to suck up the milk from the goats' udder. Then, the milk is sold in bottles. I also learned a lot of things about the things in the farms. I learned about goats,names of plants, fishes like the "aruwana" and about what Marine Fisheries department means. We also learned about the past's farming area was more than today's recent ones becuase of land cleared for more housing space. It was really a unforgettable trip!

International Friendship Day

Dear reader,
We celebrate International friendship Day to know more about different countries around the world.
International Friendship Day celebrations take place on the first Sunday of August every year. The people who who created International Frienship Day was The United States Congress, in US.
ASEAN is the theme for this year's International Friendship Day. it stands for Association Of South East Nations.
To tell the truth, I don't really know what's ASEAN. Maybe I can consult my Social Studies teacher when I see him.
Aso, I love playing the games by the school on International Day. I wish every day had games from over the world, food over the world and know more about the countries surrounding us, Singapore. The school can also oraganize this game I thought of on International Friendship Day:
  1. Put up some pictures around the school; the pupils will try to count all of them during the one-hour recess. The people who have the correct number of pictures will win a mystery prize.
I, too, don't have any friends in the ASEAN countries. I think my problem is that I'm too shy to make friends but I should at least try to make friends, I guess.
Thanks for reading, Reader
Best Wishes, Wen Shuen

Improving the school

Dear readers,
I'll be talking about how to improve the school today.
I like the computer lab, my classroom and the canteen the most. In the computer lab, we can do alot of things that I like to do. My classroom is where I learn, hence my liking of it. The canteen, of course, is the only place where my friends and I can sit down and disscuss important things(to us). I dislike the toilets as it's very dirty and smelly. I think that to improve the toilets, you can put something to make it smell nicer.
A place such as the Skylite Cafe can be improved as I thought it doesn't have enough seats for pupils.
Also, even pupils can help to improve the school by picking up litter when you see it and giving your bowl of noodles or rice back to the store owner when you have finished your meal.This way, we can make sure the school is clean and very organised.

Healthy Eating

We have to eat fruits and vegetables to be healthy.
However, adults and children like to eat many unhealthy foods. Some of these foods include fried chicken wings, lollipops, crackers and sweets.

It's very important to eat healthily so that we will not suffer from diseases.
Some of those diseases include scurvy, stomach discomfort, e.t.c.
Also, you can grow taller and stronger by eating lots of fruits and vegetables.
I like to eat fruits and vegetables everyday so that I can grow stronger, taller and healthier.
Lastly, the activites that I suggest (to encourage children to eat more fruits and vegetables) is fruit-and-vegetable-making contest and a programme to let children know about the benefits of eating healthily.

Sport's Day

Dear reader,
One day in Feburary, my class(including me) went to Yio Chu Kang stadium for Sport's Day. After going through all those selecting, I was really eager to see the selected pupils running. Luckily, I wan't chosen. anyway, it was very hot i n the stadium. The most interesting part was when my house and other houses were given two balls. We had to make sure that the ball didn't roll of the stand to the grass patch below. During the second game, Mr Martin Tan, our princapal, can over to help Shapphire House, my house! The Sport's Day was the most exciting Sport's day ever!


Best Wishes,

Earth Day

Earth Day is a day which we appreciate the Earth. The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970. In 1970, Senator Galord Neslon realised that the people weren't treating the Earth like they should. He made a suggestion to make a special day so that everyone in the world would respect the Earth. It was April 22,1970, that the first Earth day was born.
Here are some things that we should take note of:
  1. Don't cut down trees.
  2. Don't hunt or poach illegally.
  3. Use both sides of paper before throwing away.
  4. Throw old things in a reclying bag or bin.
  5. Don't smoke.

The solution to make other people follow these tips is to tell people, set up posters, in pamflets or any other way you can think of. The Earth is a very important thing to us. Imagine that the Earth was destroyed and we would have nowhere to go. So, start voting for "The Earth" now!

The March Holidays

I'm sharing with you the things I did during the holidays. I went to a Primary School to do my music exam. Also, I went to a Book Store to buy some books. On Wednesday, my brother, my mother and I went to the nearby swimming pool to play in the water. I enjoyed myself very much but I still missed my friends, teachers and most of all, my school (although my teachers' gave me a lot of work to do). I'm sure you want to hear the most exiting part or thing that I did. The answer is EVERYTHING! Why? I enjoyed everything, whether I got angry or upset. I'm just glad that I can take a break, once and for all.(Or not for all, which means not for a long,long time)(The holiday is for a week!)

See you

Fire Safety

I'm going to talk to you about Fire Safety. What can we do to protect others from fire? We should not leave fire unntended when going to your front door or answer a phone call. Always turn the fire off. Also, do not let children, young and older, play with matches, stoves, or anything else that can cause harm. Second,what can we do if we see a fire in somebody's house or your own house? You can call the police or the firemen.They will know what to do. You can also use a big piece of cloth to extinguish the fire or use a bucket of water. If you don't have a big piece of cloth or a bucket, follow the method above. To me, the best way to not create fire is to make sure no fire or things that can cause harm is off or not in action before attending to anything else.

Why Do We Read Books?

Why Do We Read Books?

That is a easy question to answer. We read books to make our own reading skills better. That will also effect our exam and compositions. So, even a book can make a lot of changes in somebody, exspecially people who are weak in English! I'll like to become somebody who loves reading books so I can be a cleverer preson in future!

My New Class

In my new class, there are some people from my old class. Of course, I have made more than just one friend. My form teacher is Mrs Yap. My lessons are all very interesting. Now that I am in P3, the teachers are not as forgiving as last year. That doesn't mean that the teachers are not forgiving at all. My teachers are also funny, kind and helpful. Although I miss my old friends, I am not that sad. I have new friends to cheer me up!
