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
Eldon Tan

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.

PEEL-Internet

Internet is use worldwide by almost everyone.Internet can been seen using everywhere including school,office and many more.It is also useful to us as it provide lots of resources for information for our daily needs.Technology has also improved allowing internet to be access through phone.People from different countries can also chat and interact through the internet within seconds rather than letters which take time.

Sport Fiesta

Sport Fiesta was held at the same venue this year which is the Serangoon Stadium.Woke up early to meet up with friends for our breakfast before going for the event.Reached the stadium and the stadium was filled with people running their morning jog on the track.Assemble into our repective classes and sang the national song and said the national pledge.We are grouped by our house colours and the competition began.Met up with classmates from other house and gather together to watch the competition.Soccer started first in a match between Voltus and Aeros.Captain ball was the next game and there was a match between the teachers and the students.Next,was the run between every house which had the most points for all the games.It was a close fight between every houses but ending up with Pyros with the champion.Everyone did their best for the run and did their house proud.We were dismissed after the Fiesta and everyone went back.

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.
