Task 3:

Your sister has bought a new piggy bank as a birthday gift for her best friend.Upon seeing the present,her best friend returned it to her immediately and said that its material gives a clear view of the amount of coins and dollar notes she has put into it and she does not like the idea.

Your sister looks at the piggy bank again and she cannot figure out what is wrong with the material of the piggy bank.She approaches you for help.

She needs you to tell her what is wrong with the choice of the material for the piggy bank and what would be a better material in this case.As the gift is quite costly,she wants you to come up with solutions to alter the design of the piggy bank by ensuring that people cannot see the amount of coins and dollar notes put in

You are encouraged to present to your sister creatively.



Answer:I think that people would be able to see through and be tempted by the thought of stealing some money and that is why she doesn't like it.You could use porcelain as a substitute or if you want to alter it ,you could paint it or decorate it with coloured paper.

Entry 18: Reflective Time for Science (Light Energy)

My parents on the light when they watch the television,the basement of our condominium lights up when nighttime falls,the street lamps lining the street also light up at night,the lights at the bus stop illuminate it and while walking back home at night , we use it to find our way home.Light helps me do my homework at night and practically helps our whole family do lots of stuff.I think a world without light is as good as a world without sight,we need light to do almost everything and without it the world will be covered in darkness.

Entry 17: Classroom Cleanliness

I think that the classroom isn't clean because I don't think that we have acted enough to prevent the classroom from being dirty.I think it is important to keep the classroom clean because it provides a better learning learning environment for us students.We keep the classroom clean by sweeping it once in a while or regularly and I sometimes participate in cleaning the white board and I have learnt to cooperate with people through this activity.

Entry 16: Influenza A H1N1

Influenza A H1N1 is a virus contracted by pigs. It spreads when a pig contracts the virus and the pig is then eaten by humans or comes in contact with humans the virus is transmitted and the person will pass it on to other people.China, Japan, Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia ,Laos and Vietnam. In many countries, schools have been closed down to prevent or try to slow down the spread of the virus, trace travel history to infected countries so that such people who do so will be quarantined, they have also advised people to avoid crowded places and to have high standards of hygiene so as to not get infected with the influenza. Initially, it was thought that high fever was one of the symptoms of H1N1 but recently, it has recently been discovered that it was not necessary the case as low fever could also been a symptom. however, i believe its necessary to take our temperature as a precautionary measure. Singapore has requested people to declare their travel history honestly so that prior notice will slow down community spread of the virus, we are also told to stay a metre away from each other as well. I wash my hands regularly and keep good hygeine.

Entry 15: SA 1 Review

I think the exams have been a fair test because the topics that we were tested on were the topics that we learned.I think that I have not done well enough and I think that the cause of it is that I haven't been putting in effort or I haven't been trying hard enough.I think that the enrichment classes are useful as they help improve my studies and I can learn new things from these classes.I think my home tuition has helped because I am learning alot from it.I will study harder and willsurf the internet for more information.I think the school should have more classes which will help us gain more knowledge.

Olympic Values:friendship

One tuesday morning,when the day dawned bright and clear,Jack woke up to the crystal clear sound of birds chirping.Today was the day that he and his friend Sam were going to the convenience store together to get some groceries for their families.He jumped out of bed and quickly changed,combed his hair, tucked the money he got from his parents inside his pocket and ran out of his house quickly.

He met Sam at the entrance of the convenience store and they went inside, happily chatting with each other.Jack made a grab for the last loaf of raisin bread but apparently,Sam also wanted that loaf of bread and was also making a grab for it."HEY!I SAW THAT FIRST, IT'S MINE!'' Jack shouted ''NO IT ISN'T,IT'S MINE!'' Sam shouted back.They argued and hurled abusive words at each other and also caused quite a commotion.The shopkeeper stormed towards them and fumed''THE TWO OF YOU BETTER GET OUT OF MY SHOP OR ELSE I'M GOING TO CALL THE SECURITY GUARD!''The two of them walked out of the shop and yelled at each other''IT'S YOUR FAULT WE GOT KICKED OUT!''Sam yelled''NO, IT'S YOUR FAULT!''Jack yelled back.

They argued again and ended up fighting.Sam punched Jack in the head and Jack crumpled to his knees and fell to the ground unconscious.Sam,filled with dread, started panicking and immediately ran from the scene.
A passerby which witnessed the accident called the ambulance and almost immediately could hear the wail of the sirens.They carried Jack's body on a stretcher and rushed him to the hospital.

The next day, Sam visited Jack at the hospital and asked ''will you forgive me?'' ''yes.'' croaked Jack.After Jack was discharged ,he and Sam became the best of friends again.
