There's Hope!

Hi 3C dearies! I read in some of your blogs that you were very sad when we did not win anything during Sports Day. It's ok. We had fun, didn't we?

Nevertheless, just like some of you who have improved in your CA2 as compared to your SA1 (like Fareesha and Hazwani...), we can still work hard and hope for even better results in the recent Netball Tournament. The results will be out next week and let's pray that we'll at least do better. After all, we did score some goals...right, Dr Daniel?

America's and Australia's Indigenous People: Who and What are They?

Hi dear Pixies,

As an extension to what we learnt earlier on the Native Americans and Australian Aborigines, you may wish to read up some additional information about these two communities at Jason's blog.

I have also embedded these videos for your enjoyment.

This one is a music video of a group of Native American people with Native American music in the background. Do take note of their costumes and the musical instruments that are typical of their culture.




And the next video shows Australia's Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, apologising to the Aboriginal Stolen Generations.



How do you feel about the Australian Aborigines were treated in the past and about the Prime Minister's apology to them?

Writing Tips

Hi Dearies!

I have read some of your reflections on the Advertisement lessons. Some good ones can be found here and here. The rest were pretty short and lacking in details, though.

So I thought I should remind you of the things that you should include when writing about an event, whether it is a journal entry, composition piece or a reflection. It is called the 4Wives and 1Husband (teeheehee), that is, the 4W and 1H. The diagram below shows what I mean.

Therefore, in your advertisement reflection, you could have included some of these details:

WHAT: A lesson on newspaper advertisement

WHERE: In class

WHEN: 3C English lesson with Ms Sri

WHY: To learn more about the ways advertisements persuade us.

HOW: We watched a TV advertisement about Nike first to learn about how Nike tries to persuade us. Then, we looked at a few newspaper advertisements to identify the main parts of a print advertisement (Product, image, tagline). We then tried to create our own advertisements with the products Ms Sri gave us.

You can also include a 'WHO".

There you go!!

It's So Frustrating!!!!

I have been trying and trying over the past week to post comments on your blogs but I can't seem to do so. I have played around with my template and the blog settings but to no avail. I even posted my problem on the Google Forum and their suggestion didn't help either.

Funny thing is, using this account, I can post comments on other blogs which use blogger's Classic template but not 3C pupils' ones which use the new templates. So does the problem lie with the settings on your blogs, oh dear 3C pixies (new name for all of you...hehehhe).

So can one of you please email me your blogger username and password (srinb@hotmail.com) so that I can look through your settings and html code? Don't worry, you can change your password after I'm done.
