Healthy Eating

We have to eat vegetables, fruits and salad to keep healthy. Some of the unheathy food we eat is french fries, barbeque chicken, burgers and all the fried stuff. It is important to eat healthily so that we will stay fit and not fall sick easily. Some of the disease we get from eating unhealthy food is high blood pressure. diabetes or heart attack. The benefits of eating fruits and vegetable is to stay fit and keep a healthy lifestyle. I like to eat fruits and vegetables as they are very tasty but I do not like some of the vegetables. I support the school campaign in encouraging pupils to eat more fruits and vegetables as it helps many pupils to stay healthy and not get sick easily. I suggest the school can hold an event on when you buy vegetables or fruits you get a card, the class that have the most number of cards after 1 month will get a reward.

Silent Reading

I think the school gets the pupils to read every morning beacause the school will be noisy during assembly and after recess if the pupils talk instead of read and the school wants every pupil to have a habit of reading frequently. I don't like reading during assembly as the hall or parade square will be quite noisy to read in. I like reading because it is fun and interesting. I like to read ghost stories , fairy tales, books about homeless people or diseases. I think reading helps me improve in my vocabulary and grammar when doing composition. I think the school library can buy more new books to encourage the students to read. The book that I would recommend all of you to read is 'True Singapore Ghost Stories". The author of the book is Russell Lee. I like reading ghost stories because I would get a little frightened at night and I would sleep earlier.

Outside School Activities

The activities I am involved from Monday to Sunday is tuition and piano. I spend 5 days on these activities. My piano lesson lasts for about 45 minutes. My English, Maths and Science tuition lasts for 1 hour each and my Chinese tuition lasts for 2 hours. I am involved in these tuition to help improve my studies. I think having tuition is useful for me as it helps me improve my studies and stop me from playing too much computer games or watch too much television. I think learning piano is not useful to me and I learn piano because my mother wants me to. I don't think it affects my studies at all as tuition help me improve my studies. I don't feel stressed with these activities as I have enough time to rest. But sometimes I feel a little tired before I go for tuition. I think pupils should be involved in outside school activities as they will study more and play less computer and watch less TV.

Passion for Learning

I understand passion for learning is being interested in learning something new and putting all your effort into something and not giving up. I think it is necessary for people to have a passion for learning because you will be interested to learn new things when you have a passion for learning. I think my mother has a passion for learning. My mother revises her work almost everyday till 12a.m. or sometimes later and she goes to Ngee Ann Polytechnic to teach her students statistics three times a week and she goes to a university school to learn counseling and psychology as she will be a psychiatrist in 2 or 3 years. I am not sure whether I have a passion for learning as sometimes I am interested in learning more new things and sometimes I am not interested in learning new things. I can learn more things and go for more new interesting activities to develop my passion for learning.

Target setting

The purpose of target setting is to help you realise what you want to achieve. I think this is useful as when I set my target, I will think about how I want to achieve my targets. I set the targets that I should be able to achieve. I am studying 2 subjects a day for 1hour 30minutes and revising my weaker subjects so that my weaker subjects will not pull me down. My father would go through my Chinese work with me about 3 times a night and sometimes my mother teaches me to do my school homework or tuition homework. I will revise my schoolwork daily and do more assessments. I think the school can organise more learning activities for us.

School's Visions, Missions and Values

Vision : A school of distinction Nurturing Future-Ready Citizens of Character
Mission : Providing quality education to equip pupils with the values, knowledge and skills for the 21st century
Values :
P-Passion for learning
I-Integrity our foundation
E-Excellence in everything we do

I think the school's vision, mission and values helps in our daily life. I believe in the school's values as it helps us to be a better student. I think the students think of the school values when engaging in activities in school or outside as they have excellence in everything they do. We can obey our teachers and follow the school rules. The teacher's can organise games that requires teamwork.

What I did during my December holidays

I went to Batam during my school holidays.My father, my father's brother, my father's friend, my mother, my maid, my brother my mother's friend and I went there for 2 days and 1 night. After we reached Batam, a bus brought us to the hotel. My mother, my maid, my brother my mother's friend and I went to Nagoya Shopping Centre as my father, his brother and his friend went to play golf. My mother and her friend bought alot of clothes and a camouflage cigarette box, my mother and her friend were so happy! We went for a 1 hour 30 minutes massage after my brother bought a memory card for his PSP. After the massage, everyone meeted at the hotel and we went to the seafood restaurant.The food was delicious! We could choose which crab, lobster, fish or shell we wanted to eat.
The next day, we woke up at 8a.m. and went to eat breakfast, after that, we went to the seaside at the hotel we stayed and went swimming, then we went for the banana boat ride. The ride lasted for 30 minutes! It was very fun as we went to the right side, then to the left side of the sea and came back. After the banana boat ride,we went to another shopping centre to eat our lunch. We ate Texas chicken for lunch. My mother and her friend wanted to do more shopping after our lunch. I decided to follow my dad as I did not want to do any shopping. My father and his friend wanted to try the massage as they did not went for massage the day before. The masage was only 45 minutes. After the massage, we went back to the hotel by the taxi. We went to the ferry terminal and sat a boat back to Singapore. It was about 8.30 p.m. and we had not eaten dinner, we decided to eat at hawker centre. After dinner, we went home.
