War (PEEL Structure)
War is a horrible experience for everyone. People who are involved or caught up in a war will always be haunted forever by these memories. War causes many to lose their lives, including civilians and soldiers. It could cause a disasterous effect, both mentally and physically to many people and other countries. This could also cause relationships between countries to worsen and discrimination will happen around other countries as well.
International Friendship Day Reflection
What are the relationships that are important to you within the school context?
To me, Teacher-Stundent relationship is important. If there is no teachers to support us, we would not be what we are today. We may not be getting good grades or may even fall into bad company as well. Teachers teach us moral values which are useful for the future and teach us subjects as well so that we can find a career.
What do you know about the historyof your CCA(NPCC)?
I know that NPCC is formed in 1959 and it has become one of the largest uniform groups in Singapore. It is about dicipline, respect for others, perseverence and excellence.
Share a story about your CCA.
Once, I did not show a role model for secondary ones who just joined NPCC as I was talking to another of my friends. After debrief, the secondary two squad and me were punished by doing push-ups. He scolded us for being disrespectful and not showing a good role model to them. From there, I learnt my lesson and I have respected the seniors more.
Have the stories you heard from your classmates changed the way you feel about this school?
Yes. Once, I thought that this is just a normal neighbourhood school here. But now, after I heard what other people say about this school, I felt that this is more than a neighbourhood school.

Sports Fiesta
Before this event, I only know that this is only an event that is going to be exciting as many people are going to compete each other. I did not really know the meaning of this Sports Fiesta.
When I am watching the sports Fiesta, I finally understand that this event's event is to gain Sportsmanship. What is Sportsmanship? It is about: Perservence, Respect, Excellence, Dedication, Commitment and Determination. This makes up of Sportsmanship. I personally feel that the event is successfully held.
I feel that I have done my job well( my job: To flash green or red colour to Mr Tan when he flashes it as well if the competitors are ready during the rally). I still enjoyed myself despite of some unpleasent events.

Reflective journal
Before I did this project, I was totally unaware about Chek Jawa. I thought that there are very few wetland reserves that still exist in Singapore. In fact, I thought that there was only one wetland reserve: Bukit Timah Wetland Reserve.
After this project, I realise that there are more wetland reserves than what I thought previously. Singapore is trying their best to save other animals as well. I am proud of Singapore as they are raising awarness of it.
I learnt that other countries are trying their best as well, but I also learnt that some are not as well. Some countries are still killing whales that are still endangered and the gorvenment has no control for marintime. Despite of some organisation(that is not officially opened by other government) that are attempting to save animals that are extinct(like Sea Shepard Conservation Society, who is trying to save whales), their efforts are not appreciated by governments.
My perspective have changed somehow after this project. I have came to know that some animals are dying out but others are not caring. Others are concerned but they are not doing anything. I feel that hunting is one main reasons of the endangered animals, deforestation and pollution as well.
I want to improve the current situation by encouraging others to spread the message and stop another extinction of another specie to happen again. I may consider to do something when I am much older and if it is possible( this may not be helping, though): To stop eating meat for the rest of my life.
I want to suggest that the organisations that are trying to help out should be recongnised for their efforts and should be given appropiate equipments to fight the poachers back. They should also be spreading the message as well.

Polar Bear Conservation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear#Conservation_status.2C_efforts_and_controversies)
This article is about polar bears that are in danger of dying due to global warming, pollution etc. Their habitat is getting smaller and smaller due to global warming. The government is trying to raise awareness to tell the world about it as it is getting serious.According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), polar bears are important as it could show signs of the problems of the artic marine life.
Reflection: Before I read this article, I thought that it is already endangered and it is dying out. However, after reading it, I realised that although it is not to the state of being endangered, it is going to die out sooner or later. I was sadly dissapointed after further research that the representatives of every country at the copenhagen meeting had failed to meet up with the targets and global warming is known as scaremongering as well. I must start to recycle as I felt guilty-stricken upon writing this.

Conservation of sharks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark#Conservation)
This article is about the conversation of sharks. Actually, the whole world do not care about it. They just allow it, causing some shark species to decrease by 90%. The UN and some of them adknowledged about it but did not care.
Reflection: Before reading this article, I thought that the world is trying to save sharks from extinction. Now, after reading this article, I realised the pathetic truth about it. No one is putting effort to save them from extinction. Why can't they do something about it? I think that they must have thought that sharks are dangerous due to the movie, Jaws that changed their mondset. The fact is they are not dangerous. We should save them by not eating shark fin!

Chek Jawa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chek_Jawa)
This article is about the history of Chek Jawa. In the past, some people found that place to be rich in biodiversity but the government decided to use it for land reclaiming. A group of volunteers decided to conserve this site and worked hard to conserve this place. It also talks about the problems they face as well.
Reflection: Before I read this article, I did not even know what is Chek Jawa and its history. After reading this article, I realised that how important is it to have a wetland reserve. Although I do know that animals has a live, I did not know the importance to conserve them. I thought that they could move to somewhere else. If they move, it will be like a person moving out from a war-struck place. It will be impossible to adapt to a new situation! We have to raise awareness to the animals that are dying out!
