S1-01 Class Committee Voting round

Nominate our class committee

My First Memorable Experience in SST!

I know I am very late in posting my reflection but I just got the invitation yesterday so here it is...



How was my first day in SST?Well to be frank,I cannot describe it in words because it was a cocktail of emotions in my heart.I met my new friends who are really caring,helpful and funny.At SST,things are done in a total different way than my primary school so I would take a little time to settle needed to communicate and also voice out our opinions.We should also listen to our peers when they are giving their ideas.The most challenging activity was "Helium Hoops".I found it challenging because the whole class was not cooperating together.I think as the time passed by ,and we got to know each other more,we communicated more and more and gave our ideas out freely.I am really looking forward to studying in a whole new,different manner with my class in SST!!;D



I would also like to thank all the PSLs and teachers for helping me familiarise with school as well as its culture.Thank you very much!:D

The long run... OF WORK

Everyday, we all face work. HOMEWORK. And we dread it. Face it, some of us do procrastinate (like me!) and we cannot find a way to stop procastinating. In the video below, it will tell you about the science of procastination and how to overcome it. Hope this works out for those who procrastinate! :)

Media club tryouts

13 January 2014, day of the media club tryouts. From 4:30 to 6:30, we tried what was media club during normal CCA hours. It was quite cramp for the timings even though there was two hours of time.  We did journalism, photography, videography and an introduction video of ourselves, it covered all aspects of the media club. I think the try outs were great and I hope I will get into the media club!

Timetable - Updates for Term 1 Week 2 & 3

Dear S1-01

Here's the 'updated' timetable for the next two weeks.
As I'm away, I've swapped the Maths lessons with other subject teachers.
Please take note of the 'temporary' change and bring the relevant learning materials with you.

The night

Today, we officially became a part if the SST community. Now we are an SST student. We received our SST badge. Yay! 

I think today was a smooth ride. Our trailer was a success, we made new cards for the PSLs since Jaishree was absent and it still with a setback, we made it! Then we officially got our badges from Mr Chua. 

Today was our CCA open house day too. Varieties of CCA were made available to us as they promoted and introduced their CCAs. CCA was very important as it would help our JC transition. It helps us improve our score. 6 choices, sounds great but so little choices! In the end, only had four. Astronomy, media, badminton and show choir :P. I wonder if anyone had made six choices...

The day before the night

We met our last teacher today which will be teaching us S&W, Ms Lee. She told us to run two rounds around the field before we could do anything else. At first, to me, two rounds was not such a big deal. But under the intensity of the heat, I did not feel so sure. By the second round, I was beginning to dehydrate. Still, pushing myself on, I made it. Then we measured our height and weight. Well, at least I grew a centimeter after two years! Well, the rest was the same as normal except that Ms Loh conducted her first lesson about primes, natural and whole numbers. 

Tommorow is our night! I feel excited about tommorow and I hope everything will go smoothly! :)

Anyway guys, those in the blue house, could u leave your phone numbers in the comments? Thanks a lot! C:

Video!

Wow...

Prepare money tomorrow.

Pls prepare $2.35 tomorrow. I will collect during assembly. Also if possible pls give exact amout I would appreciate it thanks.

S&W homework

The second day of "Real" School?

Today, second day after orientation. Now we have met 3 more NEW teachers. Our ICT teacher, Mr Chua, our I&E teacher, Mr Lam and Mr Chen (for Malay and Indian, I do not know so yeah u know right, I hope you understand). The rest of them were conducted by the same teachers :P.

Today, Mr Chen, my CL teacher, gave us a diagnostic test (UGHHHH) and we were supposed to complete it. (UGGGGGHHHH COMPREHENSION) Well, it was really hard as I was SERIOUSLY BAD AT written CL and only good at communicating with it. :C

Well, Mr Chua did not really conduct a lesson, but he kind of told us his expectations and his lessons that we was going to conducted this year. Mac training and Photoshop CS6. He also told us some tips like the google calendar notification system, and the website ces.cnet.com ,which was filled with technology news!

Mr Lam, on the other hand, he did conduct a lesson. He went easy on us since it was the first day and started to tell us about Innovation, Entrepreneurship and why it was needed. Then, he told us to write down what we thought innovation was about and what it was NOT about. Then we had to categorise them further to sub categories.

Great day! 9/10 met. S&W teacher left to meet! Yay! I think he/she would be friendly, I hope so!

Here's a website you can go to memorise the lyrics by Friday:

The start of the journey

Today, we started lessons proper after the last the of our awesome orientation yesterday. So far, we have met  6/10 of the teachers that will be teaching us this year.

Today, we started off with ADMT (Art Design Media Technology), we met Mrs Pennie Ong. She started off with an introduction, then soon we were given a diagnostic test. The test tested our creativity and it was used to determined whether we the designer type of drawers who were neat, or the artistic kind, which were a bit more messy. 

There were two activities today. The first was "My Shoe". We had to take off our shoes and draw them. At first, everyone was reluctant, perhaps they were afraid of revealing their stinky feet secret. But still, we had to do it for the activity and so everyone did. 

The second activity was bizarre barcode. We had to draw out our own barcodes and turn it into something like the one below.

Of course we had not taught of much great ideas yet so I guess no one really had a brilliant idea until Ms Ong showed us that :P


After the break, Mr Yeo came to introduce himself. He taught integrated humanities, and he was also quite fun to be around with. He did not give us a test as we of course did not study humanities and it was new. (YAY!!!) He just casually introduced himself, and soon it was over. Just before he left, Sid asked whether there was coke and sprite served in the cafe that was going to be built, and then he drew the experience he had last time. We laughed out loud as he drew what the person looked like after drinking coke and we found out that Johan was the "Non-stop laughing" person in class too. :P

Then, Ms Foo came back to for EL classes. She then formally introduced herself with her expectations. She did not really say much and soon it was Math lesson.


Mrs Low Kwai Yin came for the Math class. The teacher who had taken charge of our pre-engagement activities and posted on the students blog. WOW. She came in and introduced herself, and then asked to fill in some information about ourselves so that she can know more about us. She also asked to help fill in a spreadsheet of our classroom arrangement. And then it was Science lesson already.

To end it off, Mr Ng came in to introduce himself appoint a Science rep (Prateek C:) and he told us his expectations, too. He also gave us a diagnostic test (Awww :C) and I guess everyone was shocked, confused and lost. Some questions were totally not taught at primary level! Everyone should have at least one unfamiliar question, right? After the test, we ended the class, the last lesson and we were off!

So far, I think the teachers were friendly, kind and committed to helping us. The teachers we met today were not strict, but will the others be? We will find out soon, I hope that they would not be fierce. :D

And also CE and I&E

Hi guys what does CL mean on the Timetable? It couldn't be Chinese Language right??

Orientation 3/3

Orientation 2014 officially ended today on Monday, 6 January.

Today, we set our goals and our class code of conduct, to make sure we were well presented to others and set our path to the right direction. It was pretty boring, but it might come in handy later. :I

Today, in the afternoon, the fun finally came. We played the amazing race consisting of a few challenges. We were supposed to win challenges to get an "X" or an "O" for our tic-tac-toe. "X" to cross out others and "O" to score. The first game we played was super slide me. We were supposed to slide on a soapy floor with a plastic sheet. For this we had to work in groups of three. There were two roles. One slider and two to move the slider. For this, I was quite reluctant about this as I did not like sliding on my stomach. But I did in the end.

The second activity I liked the most was the flip the cup. We were supposed to flip the cup to the way the PSL station master told us to flip to and the class with the most amount of cups in the direction of their favour wins. It was fun until were some parts we hated like (you-know-who) cheated and stuff, but I think we should all just let it go, after all, cheating is for the weak and those who cheated, you know who, you can cheat us, but you cannot cheat your own conscience, guilt will fill you unless you are totally evil, incorrigible :P *(Raises eyebrows)*

Well, I think everyone thought that the best activity today was the sponge fight. It was 99% fun and only 1% strategy. We were too caught up with the fun that we decided to just bomb the other team and not come with any plan on how to protect the newspaper and how to get to the opponent's newspaper. In the end, I guess everyone got wet? Maybe not the girls [No offence :)] Today, poor Sid got splashed all over after the sponge fight. His extreme popularity among all of us resulted in the sabotage of his own team mates.

Today, we not only had fun, but we also had to say good bye to the PSLs, today was their last day with us, they as PSLs, we as Sec 1s. I think they enjoyed working with us, the weird class (:3) and we are going to give them a card as farewell, aren't we? After badge night, it may be our last time seeing them. I hope we are going to see them soon, our paths may cross again, one way or another?

The mission of this orientation was to bring us together, let us know each other, gear us up for the high expectation of leadership skills we would need in SST for all our projects. I think their goals was considered a success, with help from the great PSLs. Orientation is over already, time to get serious. Now the question left is, are you ready for the whole new journey in SST? C:

Firstly, I would like to say sorry to like suddenly cancel the stay back on Monday and as well as on Tuesday. Wednesday would be only from 2:30pm to 5:30pm(I think so) for the Badge Night Ceremony Briefing. And on Thursday we will stay back for like 30 mins and just check the trailer. The trailer is going to be made by Johan and also Everi, Johan, Durwa, Nishtha are going to make the reflections and yeah that's about it so no stay back on Tuesday :) Sorry once again guys!:) 

Timetable matters

Hey guys can anyone tell me what's IH and IRS on our class timetable? Thanks.
