Dear Mrs Menon

UNPLEASANT INCIDENTS HAPPENING IN THE LIBRARY

My friends and I have been going to the school library to do some self-study. However, we are unhappy about a few incidents which took place recently. I am writing to inform you of the incidents and I hope you will take actions to ensure that the library is a conducive environment for self-study.

There was this group of students who were rude to the librarian. They shouted at the library when she asked them to keep quiet. One of the boys scolded the librarian in Mandarin. The librarian was angry and threatened to report him to the Discipline Master. The rest of the boys became abusive and challenged the librarian to report them all. Personally, I think the boys should be punished for their rowdy and rude behaviour.

Some students actually break the rules. They managed to sneak food in. They even spilled drinks onto the table. There were ants as it was sweet drink. The table became sticky and it was impossible to study there. I hope you will ensure that pupils observe cleanliness rules in the library. Food and drinks should not be allow in the library as it will dirty the library.

There was this boy who wore his PE attire into his library. He was soaked in perspiratio. This is unhealthy for him as he may catch a cold. This is unpleasant for the other users in the libary as there may be an odour. Pupils should not be allowed to enter the library in PE attire. They should changed into uniform before entering the library.

There was a group of students playing games on the computers for a very long time. This causes inconvenience to the other students who need to use the computer for their work. I think the librarian should stop the students from playing computer games. The computers in the library should only be used for doing projects.

I hope you will take some actions to stop all this incidents.

Yours sincerely,
ZiHui

International Friendship Day

1)What are the relationships that are important to you within the school context?
-The environment as it is important to keep our school clean.

2)What do you know about the history of your school or CCA?
-It was started in the 1994. The 5 core values of the are Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dedication to nation and Excellence (PRIDE). The demolition of the CBSS old school building began in December 2001 and the 1st Student Councillors' Investiture Ceremony was held in 2002.

3)Share a story about your school/CCA. It can be funny ones, successful ones and difficult ones.
-It was our SFY competition day. All the dancers were told to report to school at 6am and there was no school for the dancers on that day. The sky was still dark when I reached the school. The dancers go the AVA room to to prepare themselves. By the time all of us had tied our hair and makeup, it was already 10am. We board the bus and went to the place to compete. It was nervous but i overcome my fear soon after my friends encouraged me. All of us felt very relaxed after dancing. Soon, we went back to our school to remove all the makeup and clean up the room. Though we finished everything at about 11, we can only go home at 1.45

4)Have the story u heard from yr classmate change the way u feel/views of the sch?
-Yes, they told me that the school is not as good as the other schools, however, i think that the group works can help us to make more friends

Sport Fiesta

The Sports Fiesta was held at the Serangoon Stadium just like last year. We had to go to the stadium ourselves again. When we reached there, all the students were asked to gather at the field to take attendance. We also kept our valuables in a plastic bag so that we would not lose anything when running. Later after we sang the National Anthem, we were told to go to our houses. I was from Terrus.

We cheered for the competitors who were competing on behalf of the houses. After a few hours, some of the people went to sit with their friends at different houses. I also helped my house by participating in one of the game. After the game, I went to sit with my friends. We were chatting and ate cup noodles. After eating, we put all the rubbish aside. Later, some student leaders told us to throw away the rubbish into the black plastic bag. After that, the teachers gave out prizes to the competitors who had won for the match.

Later, it was time to announced which house won the first. Pyros was first, Hydros was next, Aeros, Voltus and Terrus was last. Though my house had got the 5th place, the competitors had work hard to win the match. After that, we collected our valuables before being dismissed.

Cross Country

This year’s Cross Country is also very different from last year. Last year, we had our Cross Country at the Nanyang Poly while this year, we had it at the Macritchie Reservoir. All the students and staff from Chong Boon Sec Sch were to report at Macritchie Reservoir for the Cross Country.

After the form teachers from each class had taken our attendance, Mr Tan gave us a briefing on what would happen next. Secondary 2 students went to Lim Bo Seng's tomb and Miss Sasi explained to us about Lim Bo Seng's contributions to Singapore when he was alive as this chapter will be taught in history after our June Holidays.By the time Ms Sasi had finished explaining about Lim Bo Seng's contributions, it was time for the Lower Sec Girls to run. While we were running, we saw some monkeys. Lower sec girls started to walk after running some distance. I was feeling tired too, so I walked. After the race had ended, my friends and I went to buy drinks for ourselves.The prize presentation was next. Some of our classmates won the prize. It was a fun but tiring day for us.

P.E.E.L

Lemons are sour but juicy. However,they are good for health despite its sourness. Lemon has a rough yellow skin and its flesh is light yellow in colour. Lemons can also be used for cooking and non-cooking uses. Lemon are used to make lemon-flavored drinks and candies. Lastly, lemons are good for us and we should eat fruits frequently.
