My Birthday Present

Today, I went to the shop in science centre. The shop is called ‘Curiosity’. I went there to buy my birthday present. Although my birthday was almost one month ago, I have not bought a birthday present. After much consideration, I decided to buy a ‘Spy secret message kit’. There are many cool things inside the kit like the Morse code flashlight, invisible message writer, Spy International ID card, encryption note sheets, ect. I like my birthday present very much.

A Trip to the Art Gallery

Yesterday, our teacher brought us to the Art Gallery. We arrived at about 10.30a.m. We waited until 11 o'clock before going inside the exhibition. In the exhibition, there were many drawings by other children from other schools. They drew pictures of people, places, animals and many other things. Their drawings were very nice. The picture that I liked the most is the drawing of the birds. At about 12 o’clock, we left the Art Gallery happily.

Table Tennis Tournament

Last week, during the National Table Tennis Tournament at Chongfu Primary School, we won all our opponents and got into the quarter-finals. During the quarter-finals, we won three out of the four schools that we played with. The school that we lost to was Chongfu Primary School. They were very good. On Thursday were the semi-finals and the 3rd and 4th match. During the semi-finals, we played against Nanyang Primary School. We lost to them too! When it was the 3rd and 4th match, we played with Ai Tong School. I played the first singles. During the first game, I was a little nervous as I started out losing. In the end, I catched up and won 3:0.

Overall, we won them 3:1. I was very happy as I thought that we would lose. In this competition, we got 3rd. I can not wait to get my trophy on the 18th of July!

A Trip to Science Centre

On Thursday, our Chinese teacher brought us to the Science Centre. We went to an exhibition called “China 7000 Years of Innovation”. Inside the exhibit, there were different sections like, astronomy, navigation, gun power, paper making, printing, mechanics, bronze casting, weaving, ceramics, architecture and TCM. At the paper making part, a man demonstrated how to make paper. First, he mixed the pulp. Then, he used a net to take a thin layer of pulp and put it on the table. He repeated this process and stacked the thin layer of pulp together. Then he separated the pulp and let it dry. Then, the paper is finished. At about four-thirty, we left the Science Centre. All of us wished that we could stay a little longer.

Amazing Maths Race

On 11th April 2007, Charmaine, Jing En, Yan Shen and I participated in the 'Amazing Maths Race'. We had lots of fun and enjoyed ourselves very much. During the competition, we had to go to the different stations. The station master there would give us a worksheet. After we completed the worksheet, we would return it to the station master and she would mark it. When the siren rings, we must go back to the hall. Teams that arrive late will be disqualified. Following the competition was the prize-giving. All of us thought that we would not get anything but instead, we got gold! We were very happy. I hope that we can participate again next year!

My NAPHA Test

On 9th April 2007, I had my NAPHA Test. It was very fun. At 1.30pm, we gathered in the canteen. Class by class, we went up to the hall to have our NAPHA Test. First, I did the ‘Sit and Reach’. I reached 29 cm, which is a C. Then I did the ‘SBJ (standing broad jump)’. I jumped 160 cm, which is an A. I was very happy because normally, I jumped only about 145 to 155 cm. Next, I did the ‘Shuttle Run’. We were supposed to run, pick up the shuttlecock, run back, put down the shuttlecock, run, pick up another shuttlecock and run back again. I finished it in 11.8 seconds. I got B. After that, I decided to do the ‘Inclined Pull Up’. I did 17 in 30 seconds, which is an A. Then, I went to do the ‘Sit Ups’. The first time, I did 17 in one minute, which is a D. To get gold for NAPHA Test, your worst grade can only be C. Since I want to get gold, I cannot get D. So, I tried again a while later. This time, I did 27 in one minute. I was very happy as it was an A.

On Thursday, we will have our 1.6 km run. I must finish running within 11.4 minutes to obtain at least a C to get gold. I am not sure if I can do it, but I hope I can. I really want to get gold.

Table Tennis Competition

On 22 March 2007, I had table tennis competition. The first school that we compete with is Qiaonan Primary School. We won them 5-0. Next, we played with Poi Ching School. We won them 5-0 too. I was very happy. On 28 March, we played with St. Hilda’s Primary School. We won them 5-0. Then, it is the semi finals. We played with PLMGS (Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School). We won 3-0. On 2 April, it is the finals. We will compete with Red Swastika School. I am very excited and hope that we can win!
