I myself is fortunate to born with all different body part which is essential for daily work. This is a fortune already as some people may not be as fortunate to born with all the require body parts. Everyone should also be born healthy but some others are not as fortunate as they are born with some illness or virus. Our five senses in our daily life is the most important things of all but some people that are unfortunate lost one of their limbs or lost their sense of hearing and seeing .
Everyone is born with parents and relatives but some are not. I feel glad as I am fortunate to have both of my parents living with me but not for some children around the world. Everyone have friends, it is a benefit to have lots of friends rather than having nothing. Everyone have best friend, friends that you think that are even closer than your own relatives.
I am fortunate to live in Singapore with no natural disasters and people fighting a war all the time. We do not have to afraid of a bomb dropping at us any time as we are living in a peaceful country. Education in Singapore is compulsory so almost all Singaporeans are educated. Able to study is a benefit also for people as people from some country people who wants to study do not even get a chance. Studying can also allow me to have more knowledge and get to know more friends. I feel fortunate to be living in this world.

UNPLEASANT INCIDENTS HAPPENING IN THE LIBRARY
Dear Mrs Menon,
My friends 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 in the school library. I am writing this letter to inform you of the incidents happening in the library recently. I hope you could take action to prevent this unhappy incidents to happen again and I hope that it could be back to the library which used to be a peaceful and conducive environment for everyone.
There was a group of students talking and laughing loudly spoiling the peaceful environment in the library. The librarian came forward and politely requested for the group of students to keep their volume down but the students seems to not able to understand what the librarian was trying to tell them and continue their chaotic actions. I think that students that are rude and have bad behavior should not have the rights to enter the library and spoil the environment. I hope that they would bear consequences for their behavior.
Some of the students sneaked their food in and was having their lunch in the library. Bringing food in the library is already bad enough and the students even spilled the food and drinks on the tables which may cause ants to be attracted. The table became a home for the ants which make study impossible to be held there. Food and drinks should be strongly restricted in the library , if anyone continues to bring foods in , there will be consequences for them.
There was a boy who wore his PE attire into the library. He was soaked with perspiration and a awful smell was surrounding him. There was an odour around him and everyone stayed away from him. This action is irresponsible and inconsiderate. I hope that the library would not let students wearing PE attire entering the library.
A group of students was playing games on the computer for a long period of time which is very inconsiderate. Computers at the library should be only use for projects and homework only not for games. Rule should be make that games are ban on computers.
I hope that rules would implement strictly in the library and the library will be back to a best place for studying.
Yours Sincerely

What are the relationships that are important to you within the school context?
The willingness of both student and teacher to teach and student to learn.Teacher and student need to communicate well in order for the students to get good grades.I think that for the student to learn he has to listen to the teacher and maintain a good relationship between each another.
What do you know about the history of your school/CCA?
I only know that ChongBoon school design was different a few years back ,the uniforms and pe attire were all different from what it was today.
Share a story about your school/CCA.It can be funny ones,successful ones and difficult ones.
I dun have any specific story about our school and my CCA but I think all the minor jokes that friends make and funny actions that friends do can all add up to a major event.
Have the stories you heard from your classmates changed the way you view/feel about your school?
It does not change as lots of rumour are passing around and it is the way of how we view it.

Annual Cross Country
Cross country 2010 was held at MacRitchie Reservoir different from the venue last year which was at NYP. We have to report to the reservoir by 7.30am but I met with my friends for breakfast before we went there.Reached there early and waited for attendance to be take.We were told to move up to the designated point and report with our class. Our bags were keep and the run was going to start. Before the run we visited the grave of Lim Bo Seng and learnt more about him. The run this year was more interesting compared to last year as the air were fresh and the feeling of running in the forest feel great as we could breath the fresh air as we are running.After the run everyone was exhausted from the run and our body was full of sweat.The feeling was great and I think that everyone enjoyed the run.The run also train the will of our mind and new friendship gain while running.

Reflective Summary
Before reading the article I did not know that shark are going extinct as I always heard from family and friends that sharks are killing people and still have lots of different species of shark living on the earth.After reading the article I learn that sharks had became the most valuble and vulnerable animals in the sea.Sharks are also being consumed faster than they can reproduce.Shark is going extinct because of humans who wants to eat it.
My perspectives change after reading the articles as I always thought sharks were animals that eats humans without thinking but after reading I realise that they are going to be extinct by 2017 and we can never see them again.More research tells me that they eat humans rarely per year.My thoughts about the current situation is that people thinks that there are still lots of shark around the world and continue eating their fins and buy other shark related products but it is anticipated that 20species of shark could be extinct by 2017.
We can all help by stop eating sharks and encourage people to stop consuming sharks.We can also encourage restaurants to remove sharks from menus and also remove sharks from fish counters which allow the retail industry to ease the pressure on vulnerable species.
My suggestion for further improvement is that people stop killing sharks and let them live in their own ocean peacefully.Although shark fins are delicious but if we continue eating them and they will go extinct and everyone will be regretful

Reflective Journal 3 -Shark Conservation Act of 2009
http://marinelife.about.com/od/conservation/p/sharkconservationact.htm
Summary of the article
The Shark Conservation Act of 2009 seeks to eliminate the practice of shark finning in the U.S. Sharks can still be fished, but sharks can only be aboard a fishing vessel whole and with the fin naturally attached. This will decrease incentive for shark finning, which usually involves discarding the shark's less-valuable body at sea and causing waste of about 95% of the shark.
The Act will also support conservation of sharks worldwide by encouraging other countries to develop shark conservation programs and reduce shark finning.
Reflection
Before reading this article I have no idea of what is the Shark Conservation Act of 2009 but after reading the article I learn that the act is preventing sharks from going extinct.Sharks are also hunted for their fins in a practice call shark finning.Shark Conservation Act of 2009 was introduced to aid in conservation and demonstrate the importance of sharks to the U.S.We can help by supporting their act and finding more people to support this to prevent sharks from going extinct.

Reflection
After reading the article I learned that shark are now the most valuable and most vulnerable animals in the sea.Sharks are going extinct because of massive customers who demand for shark fins and other shark related products.It has also shocked me that 125 countres around the world now trade in shark products contributing to an uncontrollable surge in the number of shark taken from the oceans.It is also shocking that by 2017 20species of shark could be extinct due to we humans hunting them and indiscriminate fishing techniques.Before reading the article I did not know what we humans did caused to the sharks but after reading this article I learned that sharks going to be extinct by 2017 but we can prevent this to happen just by encouraging consumers to stop buying shark meats.Everyone can stop this by stop eating shark fins and change our habit.

Reflective Journal 1- Bite-Back's new approach to Shark Conservation
http://www.bite-back.com/shark_conservation.htm
Summary of the article
Shark conservation organisation Bite-Back found out that 3290 tonnes of shark is consumed across the country each year which is roughly equivalent in weight to 2200 Ford Fiestas. Shark Meat being popularised by chefs,trendy restaurants and even supermarkets and more.Over-fishing is also decimating shark populations.The fishing industry is being forced to catch sharks faster than they can reproduce because more people want to eat it.the problem is so out of control that sharks have plummeted to just 10% of levels in 1950.Bite-Back hopes that just by removing shark from menus and fish counters,the retail industry can ease the pressure on vulnerable species promoting shark conservation and manage the oceans responsibly.
Reflection
Before reading up on the article I have no idea that shark living on earth are so little.I thought that there are still many sharks living on the earth and are not going to extinct so fast.After reading the article I learned that we should stop killing sharks in order to stop sharks from going extinct.The article also shows that 3290 tonnes of shark is consumed across the country each year which is equivalent to 2200 Ford Fiestas in weight which I think its a huge amount of sharks killed every year to me.Shark is popular throughout the world because of we humans who wants to eat it.We can all help by stop eating shark's fins and encourage restaurants to remove shark from menus and remove sharks from fish counters allowing the retail industry to ease the pressure on vulnerable species.Everyone can make the world a nicer place to live if everyone just stop eating sharks and sharks will not be killed anymore.

The dance that I think was the best was the dance which was held by students . Its like a street dance but pair up with a male and a female each. After that there was a lion dance performance which seems similar to the one last year.The two lions were jumping around on the stage.At the end of the performance Mrs Menon went up and thank the people dancing in the lion. We were dismissed after everything and we went back home.

Went up the bus on about 8am and enjoyed a 1 hour trip to Sentosa. After we reach a student councilor brought us to the beach. It was a 15 minute walk to the beach and along the way there were councilor that guide us along the way. We were given coupons to play the carnival games there.There are lots of games to choose from such as basketball and some throwing game and alot more.In the end I did not played anything and went to the beach.My coupons were given to my friends and I sat at the beach for hours. There was a interesting event that happen when I was at the beach. There was a couple that came and called my friend to take photos and vidoes for them , they were really hilarious looking them walking along the beach. I really enjoy the growth day this year as it was different from the one last one which was in school.

Incident of Cheating
‘Good afternoon class , today we are going to do a composition about ‘The Worst Day of my life ‘ . After the briefing from Miss Lee , we started to do our composition. Thinking of this title I recall when I was in primary 4 , something happen to me which hurt me deeply.
It was just a normal day like every school day. It was Maths lesson after our recess , it was our Maths topical test . Mdm Tan pass us our test paper to start our exam. The question was very easy and I finish it in less than a hour. Mdm Tan gave us 1 hour to finish the whole test so I took out my storybook and start reading. Tim who was sitting beside me looks flustered and fearful it seems to me that he didn’t know how to do anything.
Tim’s eyes seems to moving toward my paper and copied all of my answer to his paper. I didn’t know that he copied my answer until next week. The week after the test our results was announced . I got full marks for my test and Tim got full marks too. Mdm Tan called us both to stay back and I wonder why.
Tim and I both met at the staff room and waited for Mdm Tan to come. Mdm Tan took both of our paper out and identify out that most of out question were similar and conclude that we cheated. Mdm Tan want us to admit who copied whose answer. Tim denied at first but admitted at the end.
Tears streaked down from Tim’s cheeks as Mdm Tan wants to inform Tim’s parents about the incident happen . Tim explain that he must get at least a pass this time to get his computer so he resort to cheating.
Tim was hoping against hope that Mdm Tan change her decision and decide to give him a chance unfortunately that didn’t happen. Tim’s parents were inform and I was released. I hope that Tim doesn’t get scolded too much or get beaten .
