Entry 8: Review of T1 Target-Setting Exercise

The purpose of setting targets for the various subject is to help us achieve our targets.I think it is useful because we know what we are aiming for and if you don't set your target you do not know what you are aiming for. Sometimes you set your targets at the last minute like just before the exams , you can't think properly and you would aim for low marks because you got no time to think. I look at my previous test results and set my target higher then the previous test results because I want to be smarter.I have a plan to set my target. I will set a target then achieve it and have more marks than my target. My parents teaches me and buy more assessment papers for me to revise. I will work harder and pay more attention in class.I think the teacher should spend more time with us revising our weakness and teaching us again and again if we do not understand.

Entry 7: Festivals in Singapore

I celebrate Christmas. I celebrate this festival because I am a Christian. Christians or Catholics celebrate Christmas because it is Jesus birthday. We eat turkeys with cranberry sauce, log cakes , Roast Beef , Christmas Puddings and Christmas Cookies.We also put up Christmas Trees with a lot of decorations on it. And the tip of the Christmas tree , we put either an angel or a star. I celebrate this festival because I want to be a Christian and believe in Jesus.I celebrate this festival by decorating the Christmas tree and eat Christian's food.I know what are the festivals celebrated by the other races. For example , for Chinese , they celebrate Chinese New Year. For Malays, they celebrate Selamat Hari Raya.And for Indians they celebrate Deepavali. Sometimes Malays fast. Yes. When different races celebrate their celebrations , they will get together more often and therefore , they will make friends.I think that different races should tell the other race what they celebrate and how they celebrate them.

Entry 6: March Term Break

I think the school gets Pupils to read books every morning because they want to help the pupils write better compositions and make a good habit of reading. I like it because I want to have the habit of reading , write better compositions and even learn new words. I like reading because I have the book I like and it is good for me. I like to read books that have a little pictures in them to help me imagine the stories and not too hard and not too easy.I think reading will help me with my school work because books have good vocabulary .The school can encourage pupils to read by introducing more interesting books to them or put more story books in the school library.The title of the book I really like to read is called , "Horrid Henry Robs The Bank." The Author of this book is called , "Francesca Simon."I like to read Francesca Simon's books because it teaches me a lot of things for example , how to write a good composition , learn new words and make me have more interest in reading. The Stories are also very interesting and good.

Entry 5: Activities Outside School

ScThe activities I am involved in is Tennis , Science Club , Tuition and High Achiever for Science. I play Tennis every Wednesday , I go for Science Club every Friday , I have tuition every Monday,Thursday and Saturday. I have High Achievers for Science every Tuesday.I spend one whole week on these activities. I spend two hours playing Tennis , one and a half hour in Science Club , and I spend seven hours in total for Tuition , I spend an hour in High Achiever for ience.
I am involved in these activities because I like them. I like Tennis because it is one of my favourite sports and it is very fun to play. I am involved in Science Club because i like Science. I like to do experiments the most. I am involved in tuition because my parents wants me to achieve good results for my tests and my exams and it is for my own good. I am involved in High Achiever for Science is because I achieved good marks for my SA2 and Sa1 ex
ams. I think these activities are necessary for me. Tennis have help me like sports more. Science Club helped me know how to do some experiments more and learn to like science better. Tuition helped me understand my Maths , Science , English and Chinese. High Achiever for Science helped me understand more about Science and my High Achiever teacher(Madam Kaur) teach us one step or two steps further. I think these activities don't affect my studies. i don't feel stress with all these activities because these activities give me lesser homework than usual now. I think pupils should be involved in these activities because they should not stay at home doing nothing but liying down sleeping. They should play sports or have Tuitions. Tuitions will help them study better and do not struggle when you have difficulties in learning.

Entry 4: Journey Earth Hour 2009

We can fight climate change by switching off electrical appliances when not use , do not waste water or using electronic appliances for too long. Do not litter.You should recycle it whenever possible. If we litter or throw a lot of rubbish in the rubbish bin , the rubbish truck will come and collect the rubbish and throw it in the junkyard. Do not waste paper as they come from trees that provides oxygen for us.
