T1W9 Journal Writing : Fire Safety

Hi Everyone,
Fire safety is a very important consideration as our country is experiencing very dry weather at this time. In addition, there has been several fires that broke out in apartments in recent months. How can we help to ensure that fire does not break out accidentally? In this week's journal writing, I would like you to reflect on this issue. To help you with your writing, I have listed some questions below:

1. Have you seen or experienced any incident of fire break out in your home or neighbourhood? If so, could you tell us what happened?
2. Can you describe what you would do if a fire were to break out in your home or outside?
3. What do you think are the causes of fire in homes or outside?
4. What can you do to prevent fire from breaking out in your home and outside?
5. Do you think our pupils are conscious of fire safety? What makes you say so?
6. If you were given a chance to introduce an activity for children to learn fire safety, what would it be and why?

I hope the questions above will stimulate you to reflect on the issue of fire safety. I am looking forward to reading your journal writing soon.

T1 W8 Journal Writing : Reading




Hi Everyone,
Every morning, we have silent reading. Pupils read a variety of books and magazines. Reading is a habit. The more you read, the more you want to read. In this week's journal writing, I would like you to reflect on the importance of reading and its influence on you. As usual, I will list some questions below to help you with the journal writing.
1. Why do you think the school gets the pupils to read every morning?
2. Do you like it? Why?
3. Do you like reading? Why?
4. What kinds of books do you like to read?
5. Do you think reading will help you with your school work? Why?
6. How can the school encourage pupils to read?
7. Could you recommend a book you really like to read? Write the author and tell us why you like to read his/her book?

I hope you will start your reflection soon. I am looking forward eagerly to read your journal writing.

2. Why do you think it is necessary for people to have a passion for learning?
3. Do you know of any family members, famous people, relatives or friends with a passion for learning?
4. How do they show their passion for learning?
5. Do you think you have a passion for learning now? If 'Yes', why? If 'No', why?
