My Reflection

I think we must be careful with the food we eat. What if the food we eat contains germs, we might get the hand, foot and mouth disease. Hand, foot and mouth disease is a contagious disease. It spreads very fast. I think the food in our school canteen help to provide and promote healthy eating. Some of the healthier food and drinks are like milo, porridge ...... I do not have other choices of heathier food. I really think we must check out the food we eat.

My Response

I think it is important for children to stay away from crowded places if they have signs of infection.It is because if they have the hand, foot and mouth disease, they will spread as it is contagious. Hand, foot and mouth disease spreads very fast. It is essential to follow the good hygiene practices because it can keep hand, foot and mouth disease away from us. 'Good hygiene practices' means to keep yourself clean and keep germs away from us. For example, washing your hands before eating. I hope that the hand, foot and mouth disease can stay away from earth so that we can be save.

Reflection 3: Friendship

In school on International Friendsship Day, my school celebrated International Friendsship Day.I enjoy almost all the activities during International Day. After we sang the school song, We had the 2010 olmypics parade. After that, we sang the national anthem. After recess, we learned how to do Judo and Silat. It was very fun. I had lots of fun that day.

Personal Response 2: Courtesy

I am going to tell you what i think about courtesy. I think courtesy is about being thoughtful to other people. We must think of other people before thinking for yourself. I think the story 'Kong Rong Rong' impresses me more. It is because he is thoughtful.He always think about his brother. I think he is a very good person. I think our class has some courtesy people and some not.Those courtesy people will think of other people while those that are not courtesy will not think of others and do what they want. I hope our class will have more courtesy people than not courtesy people.

Hi everyone, all of us dream of becoming somebody, owning something or doing something which we really want to do.

Whatever it is, it will not be possible to realise our dream if we do not have a plan. In this reflection, I would like you to tell me about your dream. Here are some questions that may help you write down your reflection:

a) What is your dream?

b) Why do you think this dream is so important to you?

c) How do you plan to realise your dream?

d) Do you think people should have dreams? Why?

I hope you will write your reflection as comprehensively as possible. One or two sentences will not do justice to your dream.

Waiting eagerly to read your reflection.

I dream that I can get 1st in class and of course 1st in the top10! I think this dream s important to me because like that I can b better in my studies and I can go to the secondary school I want if I also get good marks in PSLE.I must study more than before to get higher marks for my exam. By the way I think people should have more dreams, because like that they can be more confident and strive for what they need and want. I hope that everyone's dream can come true.

Racial Harmony Day is celebrated annually on 21July in Singapore.The event is to commemorate the 1964 Race Riots, which took place on 21 July 1964.In many schools they encourage students to wear the traditional costumes of different races except Eurasian.Example:Cheong Sam, Baju Kurong. Some of the traditional games are kuti kuti and chapteh. I hope I have given you enough response.haha
