Why Schools should start later....

Honestly, I like school but it would be better if it started later. I could use the extra time in the morning.

Celebrating Diversity

From today's lesson, I learnt that having different people in a class isn't a bad thing, instead its will help you and you can learn more from different people than people similar to you. People that you cannot work with can also help you to learn to work with difficult people as we are very likely to meet people that are hard to work with in the future. I learnt that people born at the same time may not be similar.
I enjoyed playing the game and discussing the advantages of diversity.
Diversity can help us to learn more about other cultures and gain more knowledge.

My weaknesses after term 1

I think I lack observation skills, so I would try more to observe the people areound me and get to know them more

Chapter 4: Algebra puzzle

My solution: (algebra method)
1. let a be the umbrella, b be the cog and c be the pumpkin.
2. 3a = 18, so a = 6
3. a + 2c = 40, so 2c = 40 - 6 = 34, so c = 17
4. a + b + c = 37, so b + c = 37 - 6 = 31, b = 31 - 17 = 14
so, the umbrella = 6, the cog = 14 and the pumpkin = 17

Post Orientation Reflection

The three highlights are the Tower Building, Mac attack and Camp.
The three "low" moments was when, it was raining most of the time during the first day of camp, our class did not win the tower challenge and our class did not win first prize for our skit.
My three greatest lessons are: Teamwork, Respect and Collaboration.
I learnt that I may get distracted easily.
I am looking forward to the holidays in 2011 because I can meet up with my old friends again and tell them about the wonderful experience I had in SST

Day 2: End-of-Day Reflection

Day 2: Tower Building

Day 1 Mac Attack 1 - Activity 4: End-of-Day Reflection

Today, we played some games, got to know our teacher and classmates, we attended a briefing for our camp and we did some activities using our MacBooks. I learnt more about the Macbook and how to use Blogger.I chose to come to SST because I like science and I like the method used to teach us. I aspire to represent the school in competitions and win awards for the school. I have grown to enjoy studying in SST and I look forward to tommorow.
