Journal 8: Mother

Dear Fine Knights,

Now that SA1 is over, we can start blogging again. Although Mother's Day is just over, I would like all of you to talk about this day which honours perhaps one of the most important person in our lives - our mother.

Our principal, Mr Tan, had spoken about showing love and respect for our mother. In this post, I would like you to spend some time reflecting on the role your mother has played in your life. The following are some questions to assist you in this task:-

1. What do you think of Mother's Day?

2. What did you do for your mother on Mother's Day?

3. What is your relationship with your mother?

4. How has your mother helped you through the years?

5. How do you strengthen your relationship with your mother?

6. Do you think mothers are important in children's lives? Why?

7. If there is one special thing you can do for your mother, what would that be and why?

I hope to read your reflection soon.

Regards

Mr Owen Lau

Journal 7: Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease

Dear Fine Knights,

I am sure you have heard the news, your parents, principal, teachers and even friends talking about HFMD (hand-foot-and-mouth disease). But how much do you know about it?

For the next journal, I like you to do a bit of research to find out more about this disease.

Let me know the following:-

1) What is HFMD?

2) Do you know how it can be spread?

3) What are the symptoms?

4) Is there a treatment for it?

5) What good practices can you do to reduce the risk of contracting HFMD?

Best Regards

Mr Owen Lau

Journal 6: Reflections on Earth Day

Dear Fine Knights,

As you all know, Earth Day was celebrated on April 22.
Well, I have talked to you about it and showed you three videos related to Earth Day.
For this week's journal, I would like you all to reflect and share your views on the following:-
1) What does Earth Day means to you?
2) Do you know why we have Earth Day?
3) What do you think you can do or we should do for our Mother Earth?
4) Can you suggest how the school can celebrate Earth Day in the future?
If you need more information, you may type "Earth Day" in google and do a search.
Please be reminded again that you are not to just write 3 or 4 sentences for your journal.

Best Regards
Mr Owen Lau

Journal 5: Reflections on Friendship

Dear Pupils,

We had celebrated International Friendship Day last Friday at school and I would like you to write your reflection on the theme of Friendship.

The following are the things that you can write about:-
1) What do think a true friend should be like?
2) Do you think it is important to have friends? Why or why not?
3) How do you think you can build strong friendship with others?
4) Do you know why it is important for a country like Singapore to be friendly with other countries?
5) Did you enjoy the activities during our school International Friendship Day? Which activities did you enjoy most? Why?
6) What other activities do you think can be included in the International Friendship Day celebration next year?

Please be reminded that one or two lines are not adequate as reflection. Do put some thoughts into it. It would be most interesting if you could include some photographs in your post. Hope to read your reflection soon.

Warmest Regards
Mr Owen Lau
