Climate ChangeLook at the photo above, the upper part shows how beautiful the mountain is when the country is experiencing winter.The soft, cold breeze in winter time always cheers people up, where the children could play in the snow and throw snowballs at each other but look at the lower part of the picture, this is what it happening now.
Global warming is already shown side effects. The heat of the sun is just unbearable now this is happening around the world.Like in North Pole, the snow is melting and when it melts, it won't be as cold anymore and it won't be suitable for the animals to live and do you want them to extinct? I guess not, it also affects us, when the ice melts, sea level would rise and our lives would be in jeopardy when we drown. And when the world is heating up the ground may be unsuitable to grow our crops and we wouldn't have fresh crops anymore.Wonder what caused this? Us, humans, who used, for example, CFC sprays that contains poisonous chemicals that caused holes in the ozone layer that which will then cause the sun's rays to be shined directly to the earth and cause global warming. So what can we do now? we can always start to use the 3Rs and make the world a better place to live in and let the use of CRCs and incineration a thing of the past.
THIRD School's Record Challenge
The school's record challenge, which everyone has been waiting for, happened on 17 February 2011. Everyone was looking forward to it with synergy, bringing lots of old clothes for the challenge where the students of ESSS, the staff, the teachers, the alumni, students for ESPS and also some parents who were involved, had to combine all the old clothes to make a huge map of Singapore at the parade square and also with the help of 10 representatives from each class.
Before moving on, what happened before that was that the students from every class had to all participate in climbing up the highest floor of their respective blocks that they assigned to and then go to their respective floors, for example, level 8, to distribute the flyers about Total defence day and what the school record's challenge is about, to the residents there. This helps them to be aware of what total defence day is about and to be ready for any emergencies.
Now this is what happened next, the students got ready to go to the parade square and start laying out the old clothes and create the map of Singapore while the others went to the ground floor to witness the spectacular event. Although the sun was scorching hot, the students was still resilient enough to finish the map. They also sang the national anthem with all their hearts and ended the event with a treat of ICE COOL MILO for their work and enthusiasm.This wouldn't have happened without all of us working together as one, with a common goal.
Valentine's Day
I'm sure everyone of you here, young or old, have heard of Valentine's Day, right? it is on 14 February. It is a day where people show their love and affection towards another whom they love and cherish. They could give cards of heart shaped pillows or even teddy bears which they would hold on to and treasure it.
Some would even give roses, but does the different colours of roses mean differently. Let me introduce to you what the colours are. There are the red rose, white rose,yellow and pink roses.
These are the meanings for it, the pink rose and the yellow rose have likely the same meaning which is to show joy, and happiness for one. The red rose is the most popular rose of all where people usually give out on Valentine's Day. It shows the love and romance of one for another which is kind of the perfect colour to choose and give to our loved ones on Valentine's Day. But the white rose has the greatest meaning of all. Most people think that the white rose symbolises purity and innocence which is true but it just really meant the true meaning of love like the love of a husband for his wife.
So have a great Valentine's Day and share the love.
