Christalite Methodist Home

Today we went to the Christalite Methodist Home again. This was another moment to remember, but it was even more special this time. It was more special because this time I really got to bond with people and have more of a communication with them. Last time it was a moment to remember, but last time I never really got to talk to them at all. I was mainly running around and helping out on crafts, I barely really got to talk to anyone. So, today I will talk to you about what the main special thing to me was and, well I don't know what else to say it was all so special.

The one main thing that was special was one of the guys that I meet was very religious man and must have carried some of his most precious things. It was really special because we started to talk a lot and we had a conversation, but then he showed me a few pictures of him when he was younger. But the most special one was the picture of him in 1957 in the Singapore Police Force. To me it was really special because he has been carrying that for years and it is a part of him. Like the way he still had is business card detail with him. He even still had his police name badge with him. So to me that was a very special moment for someone to share that with me.

Today this trip is amazing and they have all been amazing and I want to do it again. Everything there is special and they are all so nice that it is an adventure that you should do with them. But never forget to always believe in yourself.

Fitness Score Reflection

For my upper body strength (Number of push-ups) I was below the healthy range. My goal for next time is to at least get four or over. But if I don't get four or over, that will still be my goal and I will start to practice more of my push ups.

For my cardiovascular fitness (Number of PACER test lengths) It is under the healthy range, I am even near the healthy range. But it is still a good score. My goal for next time is at least to get twenty or more. I also think I am going to get a better score because on the weekends/ every Sunday we do a sport. Like we usually do tennis and now my family is going to start going to a track and run around it.

For my abdominal strength ( number of curl ups) I did get a bit of a low score of thirty-two push ups. So at home if I have time or on Sundays with my family one of my warm ups will now be doing some curl ups to get a better score for next time.

Lastly for flexibility- sit and reach, I did get a score of 15.( stupid long legs and shortish arms) But for now on during free time or on Sundays I will be stretching down to my toes so for next time I could get a higher score for my sit and reach.

So now I have many goals to aim for, for our next fitness score tests. Every weekend or during some free time at home I will do exercises so I can achieve my goal. Lets see if I can do it!

Flight Or Invisibility?

If I had to choose flight or invisibility, I would choose flight. I would choose flight because one of the reasons is you won't be able to tire out your legs or walk so far. Also it could be faster than walking, so if you're late for a play date or sleepover, you can quickly fly there. Lastly, something bad with it is that if you fly to fast when you are down low, you can get out of control and smash into something, then get hurt real bad.

One good thing about being able to fly is that you don't have to walk to far. So if you are walking from your school to home, when your school is REALLY far from home, you can just take a 30 second to a 1 minute flight home. Not even that! Now that is one of the good perks about being able to fly.

Another good thing about being able to fly is that it's fast and you won't ever be late. I would love that because my bus always takes so long to get home, and sometimes I want to go home earlier sometimes. Also if you want you don't have to take the bus and fly home with your friends. Now I would like that!

One thing that is a bit bad with flying, is that if you fly down low and too fast, you could get out of control then smash into something that can injure you real bad. Now if I could fly, I would try to fly responsibly even though I would really like to have fun twirling around and flying fast. But you have got to look out for where you are going. You never know if you will ever get out of control and smash into something.

Now you know what I would do, as well as what are good things and bad things about flying. You won't be able to tire out your legs easily by walking far and you can fly home with your BFF's. But you could always get out of control and smash into something if you aren't responsible. Now would you like to have the power to fly?

Tibetan Bowls With Bill Cael

Today we experienced a session with Ancient tibetan bowls. The Ancient Tibetan bowls were even Sining bowls. What we had today was an experience that you might never have. Today I will tell you about why I m glad that we got to do this and my experience.

I am glad that we got to do this because you will never really get to experience this. It's probably for some people a once in a lifetime. So for me, this session was AMAZING! It was my first time ever doing this and it took me yo like another place. So I am really glad that our class got to experience this Tibetan bowl session.

What I experienced was absolutely amazing. I went into a whole different world! I felt buzzes through my body, I could sometimes see pictures in my head and after the session I could still hear the bowls singing. What I could picture was something I have never seen before! I was on top of a mountain and it was so peaceful and behind me was a beautiful temple with a bunch of angels looking at me, and trust me I was not daydreaming or dreaming! I know you think its just a bit weird that  I saw that, but it did. Sometimes I felt like a movement in my body, like sometimes I felt like I was slowly spinning in a circle but I wasn't. Even sometimes I felt little buzzes throughout my body. So I experienced a lot in that session!

This was a time to never really forget. It was amazing that you can feel things, see things and experience things that you have never experienced before. I saw that our class was really lucky to do this Ancient Tibetan Singing Bowls session with Bill Cael!

Field Trip To The Images Of Singapore

Today our class went on a field trip to the Pictures Of Singapore museum. The museum was amazing! I learned a lot about things that I didn't know. Today I will tell you about two things that I learned, what was hard and how much fun I had.

One thing that I learned was that batik sarongs are an original and traditional craft for Indonesia and  Malaysia wear. Batik sarongs are a traditional wear on Indonesian and Malaysian dance of their culture. As well as, Indonesian and Malaysian people wear batik sarongs because of there culture.

The second thing that I learned was that in 1942 the Japanese came into war with Singapore. It was important because Singapore could have lost everything and not be how it was now. What was good was that in 1945 the Japanese surrendered and made independence with Singapore. So I learned a lot about the war with Japanese in Singapore.

What was hard for me was trying not to walk and write because if we found something that we wanted to write about, we didn't know what the other good options were.  Also it was hard to walk and write. What was also hard was finding some secondary sources at first because we walked into this room and there were only primary sources and not any secondary sources. So then in the end Meaghan, Alexa, Jade and I wrote down that the props and the wax people were secondary sources. We chose that because in the props they could have copied some primary source objects. Lastly for the  wax people they copied what some main people looked like.

I had so much fun at the museum today! First I had so much fun going around the museum and having fun acting like some of the wax people and seeing what they did. What was also fun was having a lot of fun with my friends during lunch time and throughout the museum. It was kind of funny in the museum because Meaghan, Alexa and jade kept on creeping up on me and scaring me( sad face).

So now you know what was the main thing I learned, what was hard for me, and how much fun I had. But there was so much that I learned that I can't put it all in words! Our field trip to the Images Of Singapore museum was amazing and I recommend you should go there!

Science Reflection

This first semester in school has been so much fun during science. We have learned about mixtures, solutions, chemical reactions, precipitates, etc. It was so fun this semester, but I think that everyone

agrees that our unit of chemical reactions was the best. I am sad that our science unit is almost over, but I am still exited to learn about things in our new unit Social Studies. Lastly, next I will tell you about what was my favorite experiment and why it was so good. Also, I will tell you about what I could do differently next time.

My favorite experiment was when we had made mixtures inside of bags, which made a chemical reaction. But it also made a gas form, so it looked like it was going to explode! Inside the bags were Calcium Chloride, water and also Citric Acid. In bag 1 we put in Calcium Chloride and water, not that much gas was formed but there was still a lot. But my favorite bag was bag 3 because we put in all the ingredients. Once all the ingredients were in and we added water it was so big! It was so big that Imagine Dragon's table mixture exploded! That is why the chemical reactions unit was my favorite.

What I should do differently next time is not telling everyone to be faster, because our group sometimes couldn't finish our project so I told them to be a bit faster. But now I recognize that I should have not said that because it didn't help. So now on I will stop saying "be faster be faster!"

This first semester was so much fun in our science unit. Now lets start Social Studies!
