The link for your upcoming exams here.

·      Friday: clean-up session
·      Late-comers: allowed to sit for the paper, no extra time will be given
·      Check attendance – strictly no parent’s letter
·      Stationary should be in clear pencil case / Ziplock bag.
  Bring your EZ-Link card as a proof of identification and bring your own stapler. 
Pack your stationary this weekend! Double check all pens in working order.
Arrive SST early! Avoid last minute jitters (peak hour traffic jam, bad weather, breakdowns, etc…)
Go to washroom in advance!
Organise your notes, organise your room – clear distractions, use of files and neatly file your stuff.
Relaxation Techniques – remember to relax, deep breathing, calm music, go for a short jog
Review Techniques – write your own notes (I wrote my own notes and folded the A4-foolscap by half to revise on buses and the MRT.
Target Setting – What are the grades you want to achieve? Set reasonable targets. (Without a target, you are like a rudderless ship.)
Read all instructions of the paper.

Do your best!

Homework


  1. ADMT group work in googledoc, with your assigned group mate
  2. Chinese ( for those who did not finish ) your composition 《一个有趣的朋友》
  3. Maths worksheet ( for those who did not do )
  4. Maths notes Ex 4 and 5
  5. English download https://docs.google.com/a/s2012.sst.edu.sg/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=czIwMTIuc3N0LmVkdS5zZ3xlbmdsaXNofGd4OjJlNjNmODVhMDM4YjYwZmU and do. Drop in SST server (CAN ONLY BE DONE WHEN YOU ARE IN SCHOOL)
  6. History do your inferences in textboxs in your slides.
  7. I & E group and individual reports
  8. IRS report justification, post the final confirmed report on your OWN IRS blog.
I reckon most of us actually did well according to all our results in all our level tests. It's just disappointing about the fact that we actually could have achieved more. We COULD have. 

In just another month, or rather, 4 weeks (28 days), our END OF YEAR exams (EOY) would have to be taken. Use your time wisely, don't waste much time anymore. We all have the same amount of time each day, each month, each year, but why are other people able to achieve more than us? Because they out their hearts into it. They use their time appropriately. I'm not saying that we all use our time inappropriately, but, perhaps, we could have done something better, than what we have done in the past. September holidays, although quite short, would be a time we can all reflect on a actions. What we could have done better, or what could have been done, and how would you improve from here? It's not too late for those who want to pull up their socks. It's never too late. So make a difference NOW.

Character Education, Fri, 24 Aug - Conflict Resolution

Hello Class,

The link for the film directed by Janet Perlman, an Academy Award-nominated animator here

Storyline: A simple dispute between two small animals grows into a violent struggle that disrupts everyone around them. As they battle over "territory," these two small animals realize that their conflict affects not just them, but their whole environment.

(1) What are the negative consequences of becoming 'stuck' in conflict?  
Negative emotions eg anger, frustration, everyone around (bystanders) get affected, damages self and others (relationship with others).
(2) How could the chameleons have changed the progression of the conflict before it does damage? Cooperate instead of competing.

(3) What is the difference between competition and cooperation in interpersonal relationships?
COMPETING: I Win/You Lose “My way or the highway.”
COOPERATING: I Win/You Win “Let's both try to get what we need!”
Point out that the more they compete, the more they lose!

(4) What are the benefits of cooperation, instead of competition?  
Win-win situation, positive emotions, encouraging

(5) What are the different roles played out in a conflict?  
Disputants, bystanders, mediators
 
(6) Can you identify the 'disputers', 'mediator', 'bystanders' and 'mediators' in the film?
