Chat Box Rules

Here are some rules about writing messages in the chat box:

1) Do not write anything private (like your home address or telephone numbers) because it will appear to everyone who is reading.

2) Be nice to each other online. This means you can't scold or write nasty things about your classmates. I'm glad everyone's been very nice so far, so keep it up!

Well, I've thought of these two rules so far.
Do you have any other rules you want to add on to it? Write in the comments at the bottom of this post!

Poetry Recital!

It's been a while since I've posted something...

Here are some of the pictures of the people who presented their poems last Friday! We did our poem recital together with 2 Ignatius pupils. It's a pity all their jellyfish poems were not facing the audience though. Here's a picture of Amira doing a reading of her poem!

I thought she was really brave to read her poem on the stage!

Xuan Wei did a beautiful acrostic poem for his jellyfish and Franchesca volunteered to read his poem for him. Unfortunately, her arm was blocking her face when I snapped this picture.

Finally there's Mark who wrote a lovely shape poem on snakes after reading "Rumble in the Jungle".

The recital was over in a jiffy but I had a good time listening to some really funny poems! I couldn't help bursting into laughter after listening to Edwin's (2I) poem on McShrek. It was about his Pokemon Kracks that were cracked.

I'd post up pictures of more poems once I finish hanging them up in the classroom.

Esplanade Trail

It's lovely to be a youth, don't you think?

Here's an entry on the Esplanade trail we went for last Friday. I love going to the Esplanade! It's such a wonderful place and I'm always especially happy when I get to attend performances there.

We were split into two groups so here are some pics of the group that I followed in the beginning.

First stop: Roof-top of the Esplanade.



The facilitator told us the spikes on the Esplanade are actually contr0lled by computers so they can deflect more light when it's hot. I couldn't believe it when Naveed told me that.

We headed to the library@esplanade after that. Remember the letters that are made up of only rectangles? I thought the library was really awesome, and I'm quite sure all of us wanted to plaster our faces against the cake display when we walked past! At this station, we were supposed to decide how many people could fit into the bench.

I was really impressed when everyone walked quietly and whispered when they were in the library. Well done! :) By the way, can you think of a simile that describes how we walked in the library? Scroll down to the bottom to check if you've got the same simile as I!

All too soon, it was time for a break. Hungry stomachs cannot be ignored! We sat down on the ground and everyone took out their goodies.

Hope most of you enjoyed the trail... It was fun counting the number of faces on the couch!

Have a good rest before school starts again tomorrow.

p.s. Did you get as quiet as mice??

Are you ready??

School's starting in 3 days' time!
Hope everyone had a good holiday... and that we'd have joyful smiles when school starts! :)

Have you been to the library? They're having the DEAR promotion - Drop Everything And Read! I've been happily trotting to the library to borrow 8 books at a go, so I'd have many new stories to share with all of you!

One that I read is called "March of the Emperor Penguins" which is a lovely lovely book on Emperor Penguins! The pictures inside are wonderful. Imagine "Happy Feet" and Mumble... except it's in a book and there are real life penguins!

All of you have your journals in the notebooks, so now you can read mine here!

Did you go overseas during the June holidays? I didn't. I did go to the Zoo though and it was really fun! I especially liked the Rainforest exhibit because you can watch the animals during feeding. Did you know that the sloth hangs upside down so much, its fur actually grows downward? Tell me if you know of any more animal trivia!
