Reuse Reduce & Recycle

We should reuse reduce and recycle to protect the earth from dying. Some people pollute the environment like throwing plastic bags into the sea. If turtles mistake them for jellyfish, they will eat the plastic bags and they might suffocate to death. We should reuse plastic bottles so that we can protect the environment. We should use a plastic bag for as many things as we can put inside. There is already a hole in the o-zone layer so everyone should do their part to prevent the hole from getting bigger.

For more information what we can each do for the environment, go to the NEA website.

Reflection on School Mission,Vision and Values

Anderson Primary School's Mission is "Providing quality education to equip pupils with the values, knowledge and skills for the 21st Century."

Our Vision is "A School of Distinction Nurturing Future-Ready Citizens of Character".

Our Motto is "Courage & Sincerity".

Our Core Values can be remembered as SPICES:

• Self-Discipline
• Passion for Learning
• Integrity
• Courage
• Excellence
• Sincerity
  

I am not really very sure what the Mission and Vision are, but Mummy told us that every school should have a Mission so that the principal, teachers and office staff all have the same understanding of what the school is working towards in the future. The students may not really understand the Mission and Vision, but they can understand what the values mean to each of them.

I believe in the school values because we can learn to be better people by practising and living our lives according to the values. If we can be self-disciplined and have passion for learning and ensure excellence in whatever we do, we can achieve good results. If we have integrity and courage, we always tell the truth and don't lie even if we have to admit our wrong-doings. If we are sincere to people, people will trust us more.

Sometimes, we will think of the school values when engaging in activities outside or inside of school. For example, some students do volunteer work outside of school because they remember that we should be sincere and help the community. Sometimes, students may forget the school values and do bad things, like littering or being nasty to others, etc. My parents help to remind us about the school values.

Teachers can help students to learn and remember the values by praising students who show the school values in their actions. These students' good deeds can be showcased in each class to encourage other students to also do the same.

My Trip to Japan

During the holidays, I went to Japan with my family. I was very excited as it was my first trip on an aeroplane. My brother and I threw up during the flight. When the plane landed at Narita Airport in Japan, we went to claim our luggage.

After that we took a bus to our hotel. Our hotel was Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa. On the first day we just rested in the hotel.

On the second day, we went to Disneyland. There were many rides but we only went on some. My baby brother was very scared on some rides. He liked the carousel the most. We watched the Electric Parade before going back to the hotel. Mummy took a funny video of Ethan pretending to be electrocuted, but it's sideways.

The next day, we went to Disney Sea. My mummy, grandfather and baby brother didn't go on many rides. Daddy, my second brother and I went on many rides. Our favourite rides were "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Indiana Jones". During the ride "Journey to the Center of the Earth", the cart suddenly sped up and flew out of the place we were in. In "Indiana Jones" there were sharp turns and mechanical bugs. The two rides were very thrilling.


The next day we went on a tour of Mt Fuji. We spent the night in a hotel called Kowakien at Hakone. On the fifth day we took a lot of trains to get to our last hotel back in Tokyo called Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa. It was a very tiring day and we all slept like babies that night.


On the last day we went shopping. We left the hotel empty-handed and returned with our hands full of stuff. After that we went to the airport and took the plane back to Singapore. I hope we can go on more trips because it was fun.
