Communication

To my dearest 3E,

if you finish your HW and dazing at the ceilings, start pondering about the few questions below.

1. Ask yourself that how many times you feel that the "adults" don't understand you.

[please... the "adults" are once young before. why can't they empathies with you.]

2. When parents/ teachers resort to scoldings/nagging/violence, is it because you all don't do what they want? Or you don't do what you should be doing?
[The "adults" have their own problems and worries. If you guys do what you should do, why would they go berserk? Even they do, be understanding. You may not be the main cause of it. =) ]

3. If you have issues with the "adults", you don't talk about it and don't like the way the "adults" handle it, how you expect the issues to be solved?
[Don't be an Ostrich! Be a man and face your problems. It takes time to understand your parents, so you need to be patient and try to talk to them.]

4. Lastly, you young little ones out there. You are 15 now. 10 years down the road you'll be in your twenties! Are you sure your juniors will not complain about the way you handle things?

[Always remember to reflect and learn. Everyone makes mistakes, even your parents. There will be a time, they will need to depend on you. Will you be ready then?]

The world will be a much better place if everyone understands one another. =)

Last Week of the Term 1

To my dearest 3E,

This week is managed by Bryan's group. Things to look out for:

1. Locks & Lockers

Keng Seng should have allocated the lockers (despite the school suggest to go by index number.)

On Monday, Bryan will go to Service center to collect the locks. Tuesday, we'll issue the locks and lockers labels. I have finished them already.

Bring along a NON-PERMANENT marker so that you can doodle on your label.

2. Marks breakdown for Sec 3 maths.

Click on the links below and input your marks breakdown

AM:

3. TPC for some selected ones on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

I'm pretty busy this week, myself but I like to speak to some of you regarding your academics. Expect to end late as we probably can only start like after 3+.

4. Seating arrangement & TPC

You may stay in the current seating arrangement. On Friday, probably half-day, Bryan's group need to arrange the desks accordingly back to the 4 columns. As mentioned, some of you need to stay behind to usher the parents who will be our guests on Friday. (Bryan, bring a few gigabyte thumbdrive on Monday. I pass you the photos. You can do a photo montage or just a slideshow of the photos while the parents are waiting. Want to provide water?)

5. March holiday lesson and class outing?

We'll be having mar lesson on either Thu or Fri of the March holiday.

It will be in the morning from 8.30 am to 12 noon. It will be lecture style (no class work) and probably a short break in-between.

After that we may go out as a class. Suggestions? Lunch?

6. More things to expect in Term 2

- 3E newsletters, I want some of you to write an article for the events we had so far and compiled into a newsletter. Wish to have a Termly newsletter, so every group have a chance to do it. Shall we? Any group like to volunteer 1st?

- Sports Day

- Mother's & Father's Day. (Any ideas? I'm thinking along the line where everyone stay back to do some craftwork for your parents. Folding rose, stars, cranes? Or making cards?)

- May have changes to timetables. You may have more Maths lesson. Yeah! Can see you all more often and nag already.

- Changes in the groups for some people to "balance" the power. The current scores will stay but the scores from CT1 will be based on the new grouping. Still waiting for all your results to be in.

A lot of things to do right? Behave well, my dear 3E.

Don't forget our class motto: An Inspiring class of Leaders

Don't Depress - Instead, Express

Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down 
You can rise above it 
Don't be sad 'cause you're on your own 
You have to learn to love it 
Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down 
You're gonna find your way 
Don't be sad 'cause your day is done 
There's another day, everyday 

Everyday I wake up just the same 
Waiting for something new 
Every night I have myself to blame 
For the dreams that haven't come true 
But especially today I'm feeling blue 

Don't be sad 'cause your son is down 
Little mama he's bound to feel it 
Don't be sad 'cause your boy is blue 
It wouldn't do to conceal it from you 
Don't be sad 'cause your sun is down 
The night doesn't need your sorrow 
Don't be sad 'cause the light is gone 
Just keep your mind on tomorrow and carry on 

Examinations :(

Good luck for your examinations everyone =D
