Entry 8: Review of T1 Target-Setting Exercise

The purpose of setting the targets is to help us strive very hard to achieve our targets.Yes,i think it is useful.I think so because when i feel lazy to do my work,i can use my targets to motivate myself to work.I set my targets according to what i score last year.To achieve my targets,i am going to listen to the teacher in class,do my work carefully and do assessments at home.My parents help me by correcting my mistakes, teaching me words i don't understand and teaching me homework that i don't know how to do.I will motivate myself by thinking that Mrs Tan will give out McDonald's voucher to us.I think my teacher can make the lessons fun and interesting.

Entry 7: Festivals in Singapore

We Chinese will celebrate Chinese New Year every year.We celebrate Chinese New Year as it marks a new year for us.We will buy many goodies such as peanuts,pineapple tarts,sweets,crackers and chocolate to eat.The festivals celebrated by other races are Hari Raya Puasa,Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya.The people who celebrate Hari Raya Puasa and Selamat Hari Raya are Malays and people who celebrate Deepavali are Indians.Yes.I think it helps because we will celebrate with them and it can make our bonds stronger.I think we can do that by asking pupils of different races to work together.

Entry 6: March Term Break

My school arranges silent reading for us every morning.From Monday to Thursday,we will read a English book.On Friday,we will read a mother tongue book.I think the school gets pupils to read every morning because they want to help us improve our English and mother tongue. Yes,I like it because it can help me improve my English and i can do well in my exams and composition. Yes,i like reading.I like reading because it can help me expand my variety of words and can help me do well in my composition.I like to read mysteries books.I think reading can help me with my school work because it can help me with my composition. I think the school can encourage the pupils to read by adding more books to the library and holding a mini silent reading every day.I like to read megastar mysteries best.The author of the book is Annabelle Starr. I like to read her books because it is very creative as she added some French words in the story and her mysteries are always urging me to read finish the book as fast as i can as i want to know what happen at the end.

Entry 5: Activities Outside School

I have CCA provided by the school for us.I have joined the Brownie CCA. I spend every Friday with my Brownies mates and guides except for holidays. I spend 2 hours on my Brownie CCA every Friday. I joined this CCA partly because my mother was a guide when she was in secondary school.I also joined Brownies because i think that it is very meaningful as we help raise money for charity while we can also have fun. Yes,I think this activities are necessary as it helps other people,lets me enjoy myself and let me learn many values. I think that all my activities are not affecting my studies because it is on a Friday and i still have Saturdays and Sundays to do my homework.I feel a little stressed because the school is arranging too much work for us.I think pupils should be involve in outside school activities because they can learn many new skills.

Entry 4: Journey Earth Hour 2009

I think when all of us use electrical appliances such as fans,television,lights and computers. I think we can fight climate change by cutting down on electricity. We can do this by not watching to much TV or use to much light in the morning and afternoon. I believe that we can fight climate change if we work together to cut down the electricity used by us daily.
