Hi Everyone,
This week, we will be writing our reflection on graciousness. By being gracious, we can help one another get on the day without showing anger or being impolite. This is more so in a densely populated city like Singapore where it is crowded everywhere. Mrs Nam has introduced the 'Magical Dust of Kindness' project where you are to show your graciousness by using the magical words. I hope you have been practising saying the magical words. To help you with the reflection, I have listed some questions to guide you. You are not to just answer the questions. Instead, you are to use these questions as a guide and add your own ideas, opinions and thoughts. In this way, your reflection will be more meaningful and interesting.Here are the questions?
1. What is you meaning of 'graciousness'?
2. Can you give some examples of acts of graciousness?
3. What acts of graciousness have your personally done?
4. Besides the reasons I gave, what other reasons do you think we should be gracious to one another?
5. Do you think Singaporeans are generally gracious? Why do you think so?
6. How can we make Anderson pupils more gracious?
7. Do you like the 'Magical Dust of Kindness' project? Why?
8. How have you benefitted from this project?
I hope to read your reflection soon.

Cyberwellness
Dear Kids,
Have you ever feel uncomfortable, weird, scared, confused or guilty about the content you see online? Here’s my story…Many years ago, when I was surfing the Internet for information on my project, I chanced upon a website with the following caption. - “LOSE WEIGHT FAST- 10 KILOGRAMS in 3 DAYS.” The website provided 10 easy steps for ladies like me to lose weight. Though I found it a little unbelievable, I was tempted to give it a try. Just when I was engrossed in reading and understanding how to go around losing weight in the fastest way, my mother came into my room. She saw the content on the website and asked, “You are not going to follow the steps, aren’t you? How can you go without food for so many days? Is that the right way to lose weight?” I came to realize that I might even cause harm to myself. I have learnt that in order to lose weight, it is important to have a balanced diet and exercise regularly. What about you? - Have you ever seen anything online that made you afraid, uncomfortable or feel excited and yet guilty because you sensed that it was wrong? - How would you discern if the content on the Internet is inappropriate? - What should you do when the content on the Internet is inappropriate? I hope to read your responses soon.

Improving The School
Hi Everyone,
Last week, Mrs Nam spoke about the loss of things during CCA in the school. She invited the CCA leaders to come up with suggestions to solve the problem. For this week, I would like everyone to think of ways of improving our school. This could be the improvement in physical facilities such as the field, toilets, classroom, canteen, library, art room, computer lab and other facilities or the people who provided services to you such as the office personnel, teachers, book shop lady, school bus drivers and even the cleaners. In short, you can think of any aspects of the school that needs to improve so that the lives of pupils will be better.
To help you, I have listed some questions below:
1. Which aspect/s of the school do you like very much? Why?
2. Which aspect/s of the school do you think you dislike? Why?
3. What do you think can be done to improve it/them?
4. What other areas of the school should be improved?
5. How can pupils help in the improvement of the school?
These questions are just a guide to help you start writing.
You are free to to give your own opinions and suggestions..
Hope to see your entries soon>>>>
