About my school, I know that the school began in 1994 and till now, it has a history of 16 years.Our school still very yang,but our school pupils performed very well in protect environment as well as CCAs and study.school had clinch the niche award for environment. That is something to be proud of as we are 1 of the 2 schools in Singapore to have the award.Also, school band, dance club and other CCAs done very well in the Singapore Youth Festival(SYF) which make me be proud of my school.
Share a story about your school/CCA. It can be funny ones, successful ones and difficult ones.
I am a band member in chong boon concert band every holiday ,teachers will organise the band camp.On last year camp, the conductor teach us about the display skills as well as some of the new concert pieces.camp was in three days and it start in early morning and end very late. Although it as very tired, but we really did learn alot from the camp and have alot of fun in it.In this year during CCA bazaar, we did perform the display successfully.I felt so proud for the band as well as myself.
Have the stories you heard from your classmates changed the way you view/feel about your school?

FEEDBACK ON STUDENT'S BEHAVIOURS IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY
My friend and I have been going to the school library lately to do some self-study. However, we are unhappy about a few incidents which took place recently. I am writing to inform you the incidents and I hope you will take action to improve the current situation and ensure the library is a conducive environment for study.
There was this group of students who were rude to the librarians. They talked loudly in the school library and shouted at the librarian when she asked them to
keep quiet in the library.One of the boy scolded and insult the librarian in mandarin.the librarian as very angry and threatened to report him to the Discipline Master.However, the other boys became abusive and challenged the librarian ti report then all.Personally, I think the boys should be punished for their rude and rowdy behaviours.
Some students actually break the rules. They managed to sneak food in and then even spilled the drinks onto the table.There were ants as it was sweet drink. This makes the table became sticky and impossible to study on it.I hope you can ensure that the pupils observed cleanliness rules in the library.
There was this boy who wore his PE attire into the library. He was soaked in perspiration. This was unhealthy for him as he may catch a cold. This also unpleasant for other users in the library as there may be an odour. I think pupils should not be allowed to enter the school library in PE attire. They should change into their uniforms before entering the library. The library should enforce this rule so that there will be a conducive place for all students
There was also a group of students playing games on the computers for a long time. They were playing the online game and had sit in front of the computers for more than an hour. This is an irresponsible action as the computer in the library supposed to be used for the students to do their project work or do research,however not for them to play games. They were misusing the school's study facilities and we should not encourage this as online games are addictive. I think we should punish those students who playing games on school computers and ensure the computers use
wisely in the library.
The most irritating thing of all was that there were students chasing each other in the library. I could hear them shouting,laughing and screaming which was extremely annoying.My friends and I could not concentrate on our study as we found it too noisy and disturbing. Library is a serious and peaceful place which supposed to be quiet and tranquil , not a place to chasing each other and playing in. We came to library to look for a conducive environment to study,however it had seriously disappointed us. I hope the Discipline Department will take note of the discipline in library as students were behaved badly in the library.
I hope the school will consider those incidents I had mentioned and take action on it. I wish to see the improvements in the current situation and I am looking forward to a more conducive and peaceful library.
Your sincerely

last reflective journal base on shark
Senses of the shark
Smell
The shape of the hammerhead shark's head may enhance olfaction by spacing the nostrils further apart.Sharks have keen olfactory senses, located in the short duct (which is not fused, unlike bony fish) between the anterior and posterior nasal openings, with some species able to detect as little as one part per million of blood in seawater. They are more attracted to the chemicals found in the guts of many species, and as a result often linger near or in sewage outfalls. Some species, such as nurse sharks, have external barbels that greatly increase their ability to sense prey.
Hearing
Although it is hard to test sharks' hearing, they may have a sharp sense of hearing and can possibly hear prey many miles away.[27] A small opening on each side of their heads (not to be confused with the spiracle) leads directly into the inner ear through a thin channel. The lateral line shows a similar arrangement, which is open to the environment via a series of openings called lateral line pores. This is a reminder of the common origin of these two vibration- and sound-detecting organs that are grouped together as the acoustico-lateralis system. In bony fish and tetrapods the external opening into the inner ear has been lost.
Speed
In general, sharks swim at an average speed of 8 kilometres per hour (5.0 mph) but when feeding or attacking, the average shark can reach speeds upwards of 19 kilometres per hour.The shortfin mako shark, the fastest shark and one of the fastest fish, can burst up to 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph). The great white shark is also capable of bursts of speed. These exceptions may be due to the warm-blooded, or homeothermic, nature of these sharks' physiology.
Sleep
Some sharks can lie on the bottom while actively pumping water over their gills, but their eyes remain open and actively follow divers. When a shark is resting, it does not use its nares, but rather its spiracles. If a shark tried to use its nares while resting on the ocean floor, it would be sucking up sand rather than water. Many scientists believe this is one of the reasons sharks have spiracles. The spiny dogfish's spinal cord rather than its brain, coordinates swimming, so it is possible for spiny dogfish to continue to swim while sleeping. It is also possible that sharks sleep in a manner similar to dolphins,[50] one cerebral hemisphere at a time, thus maintaining some consciousness and cerebral activity at all times.
Distribution and habitat
Sharks are found in all seas. They generally do not live in freshwater, with a few exceptions such as the bull shark and the river shark which can swim both in seawater and freshwater. Sharks are common down to depths of 2,000 metres (7,000 ft), and some live even deeper, but they are almost entirely absent below 3,000 metres (10,000 ft). The deepest confirmed report of a shark is a Portuguese dogfish at 3,700 metres (12,100 ft).
My reflection base on the researches:
Shark is a great animal,after done so many researches on sharks, I realised that sharks does not like what people though cruel and evil,in fact that sharks are a great and amazing animal.People fear sharks,however, people also hunt sharks because their delicious shark fin and shark oil.shark skin also are a kind of good material for making handbags and shoes.
in fact, now days the number of sharks are decearsing very fast.Every year more than 100 million shrks were killed by peoples.now days, prople hunting sharks not for protect thenselves but to hunt for themselves.so if we do not protect sharks from now, soon,shark will be another animal which disaper from our earth.

Sharks
The research base on sharks habit:
Shark is found mostly in temperate seas throughout the world's oceans. It makes infrequent visits to cold waters and has been recorded off Alaska and Canada.
Great whites can be found along the coastlines of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, California to Alaska, the east coast of USA and the Gulf coast, Hawaii, most of South America, the Mediterranean Sea, West Africa to Scandinavia, Japan and the eastern coastline of China and southern Russia.
The white shark lives mainly in the upper part of the water column, near the shore. However, it ranges from the surf line to well offshore and from the surface and to depths of over 250m.This shark commonly patrols small coastal islands inhabited by pinnipeds ,offshore reefs, banks and rocky headlands where there is deepwater close to shore. The white shark usually cruises either just off the bottom or near the surface.
Movement
Although information about the white shark's movements is limited by its rarity, some information has been gathered through tag-and-release programs in the United States, South Africa and Australia. These studies reveal that the white shark is capable of making movements on localised, regional and intercontinental scales. Generally, larger individuals undertake long journeys across the great oceans.
The great white is also capable of short, high-speed pursuits and even launching itself clear from the water (breaching). They are propelled through the water by their powerful tails, and they use their fins for balance. Sharks swim constantly, otherwise they will sink as they don't have a buoyant swim bladder like other fish.
my reflection:
After, I done the research base on sharks, I had understand and learned many things, people always thought that sharks are cruel and fear, however, this is not true.We got this opinion from some movies and story books,but not much people know that sharks actually is a kine of animal which very important to the ocean.Sharks help to control the population of animals in ocean,sharks will ear up the animal which had a great amount of population.
Many people fear sharks,because they through sharks will attack human,or even take human as their food,however, this was not true.Shark only attack other kind animal when they were hungry or they felt danger come from those kind of animals,so when we if found sharks near us when we in the sea, do not attack them or chest them away, the best way was to swim away quietly and when shark attacking you, the best way was use your hand and arm protect your head and quickly swim away.
