Re:The outing

Hi!:D
This is Phyllis.I will be unavailable on the 10th Dec due to tuition.

The Outing

Right..I am now back and ready to get all your availabilities.

I know that Phyllis is not ok between 4th and 8th Dec.
Kailin is not ok up till 7th Dec.

Shall we make it on 10th/11th Dec? Please indicate your choice by posting on the blog(not smsing me).

We can get together at East Coast (again for the seniors). Barrage is ok except that it's really just a place to sit down and talk and do nothing else. Or you wanna go theme park?

Indicate which day you want and where you want to go/what you wanna do (movies, ktv, arcade, sit & talk, see airplane...etc) so that I can think!

PS: Ting, Phyllis is the junior who mentioned your name in class and that your chinese compo is superb.

Marina

SHOUTOUT!

HELLO!!!!!!

hey! this is your super awesome and super zilian senior from class'08! :D

I AM TINGTING!

hehheh, don't worry, not all nanyang ppl are zilian larh. is individual basis. LOL

let's meet up someday, yes? i just read our class blog (which is currently dead) and let's have a co-outing!

whoo!

OK, be ENTHU hor. all nanyang ppl are very enthu one, i dont' know why, but ya.
(am currently typing in singlish as an effort to seem nicer. though is actually due to my own laziness)

LOL i prefer not typing in perfect english. GAH!

oh we had this exercise/game during LA(language arts, eng+lit), we were converting perfect english sentences into singlish. and reading it out in a very singlish-y way. so, SINGLISH ROCKS!

haha. but that was because we were learning the culture+lang of this other country la. the jamaican english is quite, how to say, broken. HAHA but not to worry, we don't really learn the language, we just see the diff. b/w jamaican english and perfect english. and find a pattern.

LA lessons are really fun! AND it's english+literature so, ya, it's WAYYYYYYYY nicer. though it has double weightage.
urm. if you take english and literature in other schools it's also counts as two subjects la, so not really much diff.

if you're want i can continue to elaborate! but not now :D

cos if we're meeting we can talk about it more!

and your other senior in nanyang, yuejia (the quiet one), knows more about nanyang than me(i think) cos she has a sister in nanyang, who is currently sec3. so next year she is going to be a sec4!

erhem. but i'm the smarter one. LOL see what i mean by zilian? but i'm actually very modest(everyone: pukes ; me: escape from flying cans and rubbish). OK LAH ok nevermind about my zilianness.

OK YOU ALL MUST REALLY COME FOR THE CO-OUTING OK!

if not the seniors will be very sad. ): and angry! then we'll torture you when you come to our schools.

LOL, just kidding, obviously we would want you all to come.

BUT when you come in as sec1s we'll be sec3s.

and, just in case you all don't know, sec3s is the worst, i repeat, the WORST part of secondary school life.

even worse than sec4, cos you have obs (outwards bound camp which is so ~) and have to adapt to the sudden increase in homework and cca and stuff like majoring in subjects. so we might not have much time for you all eg. talking to you all and helping you all to destress and un-emo yourself. LOL. unless you all join our ccas!

BTW, i'm not saying this to scare you all off from nanyang ok! all schools are like that! nanyang is the best! and i'm not just saying it.

i will elaborate more on that if you all come for the co-outing! then we can have a Q&A session! but don't be shy or afraid of us.

LOL. VISIT OUR BLOG OK? but it's dead la.

oh. and miss marina said someone(i forgot who) actually knows my name. OH I JUST REMEMBERED I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. will go to the top of this post and type my name in big big letters. i'm tingting!(: and who was the one who actually knew me? LOL from where?

ok. i'm going to end this super long post now.

BYE! :D
will check back regularly, make sure you all reply to this post ok?
seniors are very nice ppl, we won't bite :D


p/s: speaking of zilianness, you all win liao la. childprodigies? pls lor, you all even more zilian than me WAHHAHAHHAHAA

The use of light in optic fibre

Wonder how emails, faxes and internet messages are transmitted? It's not over air or via satellite but rather through the use of optic fibre. Optic fibre make use of reflection of light rays to transmit messages. For more information, read this:

http://www.connected-earth.com/LearningCentre/Museumprojectssecondary/Goonhillyscienceproject/MuseprojSec_G_HFoundationWorkSheet3.pdf

There are some research questions at the bottom of the page. You can do this in pairs and share with us your answers when class reopens.

Marina

Old syllabus academic subjects practice

You can practice some questions here starting from P1 to P6 subjects.

http://www.tut-world.com/index.html

They are organized based on the old syllabus (though the questions are still relevant).

Marina

Interactive Maths Problems

Try out the Math questions on this website. The solutions (each question has 2-3 different ways of solving) are in the blue links at the bottom of the page so you can check your answers and methods.

Something extra for Science

This website is very comprehensive. It covers all the Science topics which you have been taught or are about to learn in P6. Do take some time to visit some of them. You do not need to print out any worksheets for submission but I do urge you to attempt the questions or watch the interactive lessons that are available.

http://classroom.jc-schools.net/sci-units/energy.htm

Please visit these sites!

The following sites are interactive Science lessons and review (with answers). Please do visit them whenever you can and TAKE NOTES!

Your upcoming Science quizzes will features questions and concepts from these sites.

Photosynthesis: Includes interactive quiz show
http://www.mhschool.com/science/2011/student/na/scienceinmotion/Common/SIM.html?Module=../Grade6/Chapter2-Photosynthesis/

All other related subjects:
http://www.mhschool.com/science/2011/student/na/grade6/index.html

Please note that the materials are meant for US Science syllabus. You may therefore encounter some chapters which are not included in your syllabus. I suggest completing lessons that are in your syllabus first before attempting to browse through the extra chapters. It never hurts to learn something more BUT you must be able to handle your syllabus first before going onto something extra.

I need some info...

Please list the dates that you will not be available for meet up (from Nov to Dec 09)

Marina: unavailable from 23rd Nov to 6th Dec

Some updates

1) There will not be a meeting to receive new books. I have some issues with the overseas publisher as they said the books have been shipped 3 weeks ago but I have yet to receive them. So the books could have been sent to a wrong address. Which is really bad luck for us! :(
So you will not receive new books during this time.

2) With reference to 1), this would mean that I will still send you holiday homework to do. I will send a copy into your mailbox on a weekly basis. You do not need to print out the questions but please do write the title of the worksheet each time you start on it. If not, I will have no idea what you are trying to do when all I see are answers and workings.

For e.g. the homework I send over is titled 'Maths - Basic Algebra' so on your book/paper that you answer, please add in the title 'Maths - Basic Algebra'. Follow my title exactly as it is!

3) We will still try to meet up once / twice to go and have some fun! I'm working with your beloved seniors to see if we can arrange for something together. I know that Girl Guides are terribly busy during the school holidays and so are the St. John's members. (2 of your seniors are with Girl Guides and 1 is with St. John's). It'll be good to ask them how is it like to have CCA in Sec school and how good/bad uniformed groups are.

4) Do check back on the blog on a weekly basis. I will try to put up new posts at least 2x every week. If you have any interesting comments or anything funny or weird that you experienced, please do share with us. This is not just a blog for me to give out homework and instructions. This blog contains the spirit of our class so let's make this blog burst with life!
