hi,
Influenza A H1N1 is a class A virus that is highly contagious and dangerous kind of disease that is belived to have originated in mexico. It is not known about how it behaves but it spreads for person to person. Countries are trying to control the virus by entering their countries by puting alot of thermal cameras around the arrival areas like the airport. Taking tempreture is effective beacuse it can tell if someone is having a sickness and therefore narrowing the chances of someone having H1N1. I am washing my hands more often now. According to only what I know, Canada, Mexico, America and japan are having the disease. But in total, there are 40 infected countries.

Ello everyone!
I think the class is very dirty. There is so many pieces of paper that are lying around in the classroom. I dont see anybody doing any effort to clean the classroom. It is very important to clean the classroom because it is our learning area. With the classroom so dirty, we cannot consentrate on our lessons. It also leaves a bad impression of the classroom cleanliness to the mothertoungue students that come in our classroom. I participate mostly on picking papers that are on the floor.
Yours,Matthew

hi,
kindness means being good to everybody. It's important to be kind because it can make the world a better place for everyone to live in. We can show kindness by giving someone what we want to someone who really needs it. Like When you are in the MRT, you can give up your seat to an old person or a pregnant woman. Everytime I give up a seat to someone who really needs it, I feel great because I did something good for a good cause.
Yours,Matthew

We celebrate international friendship day because making friends will help us go through our times of need.Though I dont know how this day came about, I just know how important making friends is. ASEAN stands for Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Singapore is one of them. This organisation is created because it is to help nations make peace, friends and help each other in times of need. I have relatives in other ASEAN countries.

healthy food

Hi.

A balance diet is important beacause it can make our lives longer and letting us continue with our everyday lives. Some unhealthy food that we are most tempted to eat: Burgers, fries, ice cream and junk food. These food can make us fat and obese and can lead to diabetes. But on the good side, some of the healthy food: salad, fruits and vegetables can make us strong and healthy and too immune to sickness.

I wish you good healthmatthew

Sports day

hi
Sapphire won again 3years in a row. This day is only one of the school days when teachers encourage students to make as much noise rather than normal school days. The weather was warm and luckily i brought an ice pack and two cans of soda. Though it was a very hot day, all the houses kept their spirits high. I had a fun time and best wishes to sapphire house.

Earth Hour

Hi,

Earth hour is about a hour on the 28 of march that everybody switches off their lights for 1 hour. I think they organised this event to encourage people to vote for earth. By switching off your lights for 1 hour, you are actually saving money, saving electricity and reducing gas emmissions. Which means, you are helping to save Earth. If pollutions dont stop, Earth will go BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM! So please, do your part to save earth.It is going to be very dark........=)

yours,
Matthew Lim
