O~O~O~O~
The holiday programme is wonderful!!!
it is soooo fun~all thanks to Mrs.Chien and friends!
I really liked the way we were seated on the first day,
a big round circle and everyone told a part of a story.I am basically laughing throughout the whole thing. Especially the second round(^+++^)
The math day is ok but it is quite hard to understand all these problem sums.
I LOVE science day! With everyone doing hands on experment and girls(me,charmaine,maythavee,bona,megan,hui hao,clarrisa,jia li.) in one group.
We ...ruined two boxes and some parts of the torch got pulled out(?) but we manage to fix all back !(Thank goodness)
And of course the best part is the PARTY!
We had 6 pizzas, nuggets, chicken wings and lot of drinks. Mostly the food ran out within a short period of time and we had the party in class! Never have a teacher that does that before!
So, I must thank Mrs.Chien for organizing the party for us!
Thank you!!!!Mrs.Chien!!!!You rock!

feed back ~
The three days of the holidays were super fun!! I had fun playing games on the first day. I love sitting in circles where I can see everyone. Going back to school enables me to meet my beloved friends and teacher. I wish that we could have the fun again. I wish we could always sit in circles and see everyone. Yesterday, we learnt maths and we did many fun things. We learnt how to visualise things and it was fun ! c: Today we had some hands on experiments where we can touch and see. It was superb ! Today we ate pizza, chickens, nuggets and drank soft drinks. But of course I could only eat pizza and drink soft drinks T.T I managed to gobble 1 slice of pizza and it was totally GONE ! haha.. xD then I had a few cups of soft drinks. It was really fun going back to school during the holidays !
My feedback for the holidays
These three days during the holidays were so fun :) It was exciting to go to school during the holidays, I was able to meet up with my friends and of course, Mrs Chien (the unpredictable teacher).. I loved the first day the best, we were seated in a huge circle, and we could see everyone, it was so much fun. It was like in a stadium.. We played many games related to english, there was so much laughter, I enjoyed myself a lot. And the party today was extremely fun too, we had 6 pizzas, some nuggets, chicken wings and soft drinks, they were all gone in about 12 mins.. Our class was such an 'amazing' class! Thank you teacher(and the deliverymen) for the food :)
At first, I dreaded the holiday programme. I mean, which student would want to go to school when they can sleep late?
So,on Monday, I reluctantly went to school. I thought I was late for a few minutes??When i entered the class, everyone was about to rearrange the desks already. Mrs Chien told us a plan - she wanted a circle! We then played games..the best way of teaching!
2nd day...was MATHS DAY! We learned that Visualisation skills and finding a pattern are 2 major concepts that will appear in PSLE!The visualisations questions were really hard to solve but i think that only after the explanations i managed to understand them.
Today...science day!!! We had to do an investigation - How can cyclist/pedestrians cross a road at night and be seen. So, at first,we had problems with the datalogger, the torch and a lot of things. When Mrs Chien suggested that the 2g roups(2 girls group) joined, we just worked together. We fixed the datalogger problem and got more torches and at the same time, had alot of fun!
FINALLY,we had our party! It was the best ever!
I felt lucky that i could go for 'remedial':)!

holidaay programm ((lagggy) luckyy schnauzerr
The holiday program was fun...had lots of laughs. The gladiator arena seating was fun.(have u stolen my underwear)^________^ the science hands on activities were fun and yet i learn from them how to set such experiment.and learnt one special thing that if unsure on how to set experiment,stand up and see what others do and copy(but not in exams or tests).The maths was really hard.... and confusing lucky revised it.eating pizza with friends fun espicially ...(how to spell espicially) m+W . Still record holder of 6 pizzaspieces, also found out that drinking ice lemon tea and f&n and coke and pespi and htwo o gives you a stomache............................................................................................................................... from lucky
FEEDBACK for THE HOLIDAY PROGRAM
I find the 1st day most interesting. It was awesome! We sat like as if we were in an arena and it was cool as in all my 5 years back in the school our sitting formation was the most boring... 2 people sitting together...
I find that i have learnt a lot of things in the all three days! The english day we got to learn about something - you should never stop - which is life-long learning. We started stories and ended them.
I learnt about doing the investigation on heat conductivity. It was so cool man. We worked together and started the experiment. The fun part was pouring the hot water into the beakers and boiling it.
I would like to have the sitting arrangements to be like how we sat on Monday - The arena thingy. I like it! And most of all.... i have learnt that eating pizzas with your great friends is fun! Thank you Mrs Chien for taking us through the 3 days!

my happiest holiday ever spent
On the 25th of may, I thought that the next day would be my most boring day i ever spent... "school holiday also need to go back to school - so boring - even though i knew that it is for my own good and i need to revise my work or else when the new term start my brain will be empty".
I woke up quite late but I found out that I was too early!! haha... iI sat down outside the library as Jun jie and my friends were there already. I chatted with them then we went to class...
Our teacher instructed us to arrange the desks in a circular shape so that we could form an arena. I guessed that day was about maths but i was wrong - it was English. We played games and was soooo fun. When i got home i revised and slept early because I was very sure that the next day would be very fun. And... i was correct haha (so high hehe). I went to school with a very very happy mood and teacher instructed us to transform the arena into groups of 4. I got into action and found myself a group and sat down... ...
the third day!! soooo happy because the class party was the first thing that I thought of but "also need to do work". haha there is no free lunch in the world!!!!! We did some hands-on experiment. Like in other experiments, we did the planning followed by the actual experiment. We chose the items which included some 'high risk' items. We handled them with care and lucky our experiment went smoothly!
After the experiment, we helped teacher to clean up the class and collect back the data loggers and placed them back in their original place. We drew a draft and concluded our experiment. After all this, we handed in the papers and the graph to teacher. And...the food arrived!!!!
I was like soooo happy like in heaven or better than that!! haha anyway i went to get the drinks and the party began - the pizzas, nuggets and chicken wings were gone in about 12 mins. Think of that!! Our class must all be experienced eaters. haha the drinks were finished in about 10 more minutes then that was the fastest class party i had ever been to! Some of my friends and I stayed back to help to clean up. After that Jun jie, Darren and I went home together.
Thanks for these enjoyable three days which i thought would be boring - they were so far from that! =)

Queen Of 'Show' not 'Tell'
By Theresa Chang
The sun was nowhere to be seen. Instead, rain and wind were everywhere. The heavy downpour was almost like waterfalls (2). Wind howled (4) even louder than wolves. The city was in a gloomy (1) mood as there was a traffic jam.
*Seated in the front seat, safety belt across my chest, I hummed a song as I watched the rain fall. Father was grumbling about the traffic, the weather, the oil price and everything else he could think of – which was a lot! (3) We were on our way to send bunches of roses, daisies and carnations to some customers of my family’s shop.
The traffic lights turned green and the snake-like queues inched forward. I looked at the greyish sky which told me that rain would carry on for the entire afternoon. *Looking at trees and raindrops always made me feel so peaceful.
Out of the blue, I heard a loud ‘bang’ and the car sank to the ground! I stared blankly at the back mirror and I saw a large tree trunk that had dropped out of nowhere and landed on the roof. Father, for once, was too stunned to talk and had gone weak with shock. I could feel the tyres deflating under the weight of the more-than-ten-years-old tree. All of a sudden I felt so helpless that I started crying. Salty tears dripped from my eyes onto my face into my lap. I went on sobbing until my vision was blurred. *Father, who had been speechless, woke up form shock and tried to do something for our safety.
“Bang!” A loud knock and muffled shouts stopped me from weeping for a moment. I looked at the man standing outside my door who was gesturing at me to unlock the door. *Hesitantly, I undid the safety lock. *With a loud blow, the door was thrown open. In front of me was a man wearing a striped shirt.
*Without a word, he unhooked the safety belt and ‘peeled’ me off my seat. A man carrying an umbrella took me aside to a bus stop for shelter while going back for my father. A lady in black knocked on his door. Father opened the door on his side faster than I had.
*Within minutes, Dad was by my side putting his arms around me and saying comforting words to me as he thanked the three rescuers. Many cars behind us started to ‘hoot’ to express their feelings! A lady in her twenties, holding on to her umbrella, phoned the police to get our out-of-shape car away.
In the end we went home with the help of the man in striped shirt. The next day, our photos were on every newspaper but as they were quite blurred, none of my friends recognised me – the miserable girl who got ‘crushed’ by a tree. As for father, he had bought insurance for his car and was happy to find that the new car would not cost him too much.
Please note:
(1) red: adjectives that tell me more
(2)green: comparisons make effective visuals
(3)pink: feelings - father, the author and even 'cars' expressed their feelings
(4)purple: verbs that create strong visuals and are action packed
*Excellent sentence structure
