Dear Padlet,
Today was the last day of school; it was rather sad to me. I was very nervous as I had to collect my report book today and my exam scripts. Even if my results were not as good as I had expected, but I cannot dwell on the past. But instead, I would work harder and improve on my results.
After collecting our results, we were told to do our reflection for the past semester. I pen down my thoughts for the past few weeks and also write down some ways I can work on my areas of improvements.
I am sure that with this reflections, I would be able to work harder and prove that I could score well in exams.
Yours Regards,

Dear Padlet,
Today was the visit to West Coast Park. Everyone has a paramount task in hand which is to find out the most rubbish in West Coast Park. Everyone was excited to visit West Coast park to help do our part in saving our environment.
During the morning assembly, we were briefed on the safety rules and regulations and what are we suppose to do when we go to West Coast Park.
After the briefing, we headed out to West Coast Park happily. As soon as we reached our destination, we split into our individual groups and started picking up trash. Although we did not found much trash over there, I was happy that I could do my part in protecting the environment.
I hope that there would be more such events organised by the school. And from this event, I learnt that we should contribute more to the society. And also, we play a critical role in saving the environment.
Your Regards,

Dear Padlet,
Today was the real planning of the West Coast Park cleaning up activity. I was excited to go to West Coast Park, although I wasn't given a chance to go to West Coast Park to carry out the rocket, I believed that my friend would tell us more about the happenings there.
As soon as they return to school, they were tasked to tell the whole class about the location of the area we needed to clean tomorrow. She was telling the whole class about the facilities there and what were we supposed to do when we go to West Coast Park.
After her briefing, we were tasked to create games for wet weather activities. This was indeed a challenging task for our group as we were not given any resources and there was limited space as well. But luckily, we managed to come out with interesting games created by my group mates and me. We hope that the games would be fun and be engaging for my classmates as well. The time spent during the discussion stage and the planning stage was so fun. We had major arguments with one another and did not agree with each other's suggestion.
But we did not have enough time left so we cut down on the arguments, and finally came out with a master plan for the wet weather activities. And also during lessons, I learnt to differentiate between non-biodegradable and biodegradable items. I hope that I would be able to find this item tomorrow at West Coast Park tomorrow.
I think that the area of improvements is the time management between our group and also prioritising the important things first.
And one value that I have learnt is to reduce the trash and help to pick up litters to save the earth.

Your Regards,

Dear Padlet,

Today was the start of the CIP project where we would have to be volunteers to help clean up the beach.
At first, I was not interested in participating as it thought that it would be quite unhygienic for me to pick up the rubbish at West Coast Park. But After attending this course, the instructor enlighten my thought and let me feel that I should play my part in saving the earth.
I hope that the planning that I created this few day could help me to carry out the plans on the actual day. I believed that we would be able to collect sufficient thrash and help save the earth.
I am so excited to head out to West Coast Park on the actual day.

Your Regards,

Dear Padlet,

Today was the annual track and field meet that my school has organised. I was representing my house for two events, 4X100m race and 4X400m race. It was a relay race held to across the entire level where houses get to challenge each other.
The 8th annual track and field event takes place in Clementi Sports Stadium. It was a very grand stadium. I reported there at 7.40 and was gathering as a class together on the soccer field. As soon as the individual classes gathered, the opening ceremony started to commence. Our principal, Mrs Chan held the gun and pointed it at the sky. "Boom!" the bullet went off. The event started, and everyone was getting ready for their events.
First up, we have the cheerleading part where the individual houses show off their talents and were cheering out loud their cheer. Everyone was in high spirits, and they were shouting at the top od their lungs all wanting to shout out at the top of their lungs.
And after the cheerleading, it is the relay races which I was taking part in although we only clinched a 3rd place for the cheerleading events, I believe that my team members and I could at least win a gold medal for one of the relay races.
I was running the 4th for both the relay races and I was very nervous, not wanting to bring down the team's positivity, I walked to my stand-by position smiling. The race finally was begun, the 1st runner took the baton and ran as fast as lightning and passed over to the 2nd. As the baton was coming nearer and nearer towards me, I feel my palms sweating. As soon as the baton reached my hand, I grabbed it and sprinted all the way to the finishing line. Although for the 4X100m event, we only obtained the 3rd position, I know that we would be able to obtain a better position in the upcoming 4X400m relay race.
I drank a sip of water and immediately ran back to the gathering place to get ready for the next relay race which is the 4X400m relay race. I do my stretching first before heading over. Again, I was the last runner who would be dashing across the finishing line. The team were all counting on me. As soon my teammate rush to me I grabbed the baton and started sprinting. Although I was not the 1st to receive the baton, I believed that I had the potential to out-run the guy ahead of me. I took whatever it takes, and dashed towards him. I could hear my teammates cheering for me and eyes were all staring at me. Finally, I managed to be on par with the guy ahead of me, Cowin. It was only left with the last 100m for me to win Cowin. By them, beads of perspiration start rolling down my cheeks. I took a deep breath and sprinted all the way to the finishing line. And finally, I managed to be the 1st to dash across the line, and we were the CHAMPION!
Although I collapsed as soon as I reached the finishing line and my legs were feeble until I could not even walk. My team members rushed to me; I feel that all this was all worth it even if my legs were tired and weak.
And finally, when I attained the gold medal during the prize presentation, I felt so honoured and was jubilant. I hope that my team members and I could achieve the same results for the upcoming track and field event.

Royston Chew

Dear Padlet,

Today was the school parents meeting when my parents could meet with my form teachers. Honestly speaking, I am totally not eager for this to happen. But yet, times flew so fast.
I reported to school early in the morning, 7.30 to report for my duties.  I was in charge of the secondary 1's registration table and directing them to their respective meeting areas. It was indeed a very tough job to handle, but yet, I managed to finish the 4 hours shift.
After this change, I went to the Celebration Of Learning booth where I had the opportunity to showcase the works done by my classmates, and I did over the past few months. I explained to different parents about the work done by our class and how has the use of technology aid our learning over this past few months.
After this Celebration Of Learning, I had a short break before heading to meet my parents. Upcoming was the meeting with my parents, I was scared and terrified, not wanting the meeting to be happening sooner or later, I sauntered towards the ISH.
Although, the meeting was a very disgracing moment for me, but yet I get to learn about my weak points and the areas of improvement I should work on.

Regards,
Royston Chew

Dear padlet,

Today was the day that I went through a day course by the school's student council. The name of the course is the Student Leadership Development. It was indeed a very enjoyable day course that I went through. It teaches me about ways to become a better leader. And also, ways to approach a person and how it would not affect others. And also, I learned how to deal with individuals with different needs and helping to solve their problems in various perspective. This course teaches me how to become a good leader. For example, dealing with my time management and what kind of works should I deal with first and later. Also, it teaches me the importance of creating a daily timetable for me to follow. The trainers told me about the consequences of not having a plan to follow. After this course, I had a training session with my subject teacher about the Celebration Of Learning. This is the time when I get to showcase to the parents about the various work that was accomplished during the past months. We explained to the subject teachers about the different works that we are going to showcase on that day.  They also go through the slides that we had created to allow us to have a guideline on that day. They provide us with feedbacks so that we could improve on them. I hope that the showcase of works during the Celebration Of Learning would be successful.

Dear padlet,

Today I had took my first geography lesson and met my new teachers, Ms Ruth Low and Mr Aurelius Yeo. They are quite nice teachers, and I am sure that I would score a good marks under their guidance.
As I had mentioned to you yesterday, I get to pen down my reflections today for the various subjects.
In my reflection, I have talked about many things in terms of the areas of improvement and the parts that I did well.
Firstly, I named out my ways of revising and what is revision to me. I read through the notes and memorise them.
And the areas of improvements are not doing last minute work and submitting higher quality work and also not being contented with my scores but instead work harder.
I also came out with a plan guiding me how to accomplish my work on time and efficiently.
Although I came out with this various plans, my teacher told me that it was not enough as I needed to execute the plans and not only just talking about it briefly.
After hearing what my teacher say, I became more determined in completing this plans and showing myself that I could achieve it.
After School, I had CCA. It was a really tiring in CCA. I had to do running, kicking and various strenuous activities. I almost felt like fainting and really regretted eating a heavy lunch just before my CCA. But my instructor told me that I have improved compared to the previous trainings. I was really contented upon hearing his praise. I decided to put more effort in every training, and show more effort during trainings.

Dear Padlet,

Today was the release of the results as well. Although I am quite contented with my results yesterday, I hope that i would be contented with my results today as well.
I walked to school with a heavy heart feeling very nervous to receive my results.
When I reached school, I saw my friends gathering at the cafe chatting and they looked very confident and well prepared to receive their results.
The release of the results was just a few minutes and few footsteps away as I walked in to the classroom. I started to feel my heart pounding up and down.
As soon as I stepped in the classroom, it was pin drop silence, no one was chatting unlike the normal times. This increased the tension for me and I felt even more nervous with this silence.
My teacher stepped in to the classroom holding on to the examination scripts and was looking fierce.
From her expression, I could see that our class scored badly in this examination.
She gave out the papers, but I was scared to receive  the results.
The examination script was on the table and I had no choice but to flip open it.
I slowly flipped open the script. And to my surprise, I achieved a tremendous improve compared to the last examination. I was beaming with joy as I know that my hard work paid off.
After this, I experienced the same tension upon receiving my other subjects grades.
Overall, I did quite good and was not disappointed with my results but on the contrast, I felt delighted and relief.
The good grades that I have obtained during this examination gives me more motivation for me to thrive and score a better marks in the next examination. I know that if i continues to work hard, I would definitely have a good grade and a good results.
And also, tomorrow is the day where I get to pen down my reflections and reflect on the ways of how I had studied and whether I am happy with my results and more importantly knowing the areas for improvements for me to work on.

Regards,
Royston Chew

Dear padlet,

Today was the release of the results and my classmates, and I was all nervous and excited to receive our results. I thought that I would score poorly for this examination as I made some careless mistakes and conceptual error. It was the time of the release of the results we were all very nervous and felt reluctant towards receiving our results. But to my pleasant surprise, I did better than what I had expected earlier on. I had never thought of getting such a good grades and scoring such a high marks. It was indeed a day that was filled with shock and pleasant and unpleasant surprises. But I was rather contented with my overall results. But, I think that there would be room for improvements, and hence, I would work harder and get better results than I did. I hope that my hard work would pay off and providing me a better score than before.
After that, we had a lunch break before our house meeting.
For my lunch break, I headed out to Singapore Polytechnic with my friends to have my lunch. we were all talking as we walk towards there.
And we decided to have MacDonalds for lunch.
After lunch, I headed back to school for the house meetings. The meetings was rather a hectic one as there were lots of students and the meeting was not well organised.
But eventually, we get to settle down. During the house meetings, we decided on the runners representing our house for the relay races. And fortunately, I was selected and I hope that I could obtain a medal for my house.
And also, we practiced our cheer and we were all cheering in unison hoping that we would be the loudest during the cheerleading competition.

Dear Padlet,

Today was a terrific day at the Seletar golf country club where I could experience playing golf for the first time. It was indeed an interesting and engaging experience with my friends. I get to learn about the different golf sticks and the postures for shooting and the angle that I am supposed to release from to reach a further distance. Although I am not very good at playing golf, I know that I would not give up and I would try countless time again.

After playing golf, we headed back to school using the bus. Going back to school was such a fun trip and I get to communicate with my classmates and even play with them.
Even if I was not the best in Golf, but I know that I could gain the experience in playing golf, and deepen my relationship with my friends. I hope that I could visit this place again and have a chance to play golf again with my friends and classmates. I am sure that it would be fun and exhilarating.
I hope that there would be more such trips organised by the school and different engaging activities for us to experience.

Regards,
Royston Chew
