National Education Show 2007

It was 07/07/07,and we, the primary 5 pupils ,went on a trip to view the National Day Parade Rehearsal,also known as NE show.This year was the first time the National Day celebration was held at Marina Bay ,the world's largest floating platform.It was also my very first time that I was watching the National Day Parade live and I felt very lucky that I could be there,while other Singaporeans were fighting over the tickets to the parade!

I enjoyed most parts of the show as there were lots of clourful lights and graceful dancers.The part where I enjoyed most was when the fireworks"came to life'! It was so spectacular and colourful that it was like the colourful chocolate "M & M" shooting up the sky in patterns and lots of different loud piercing sounds.I could hear 'oohing' and 'aahing' around me and lots of clicking of the camera.

I also liked the scene where the giant jellyfish came up from the river.It was very 'magical' and I felt I was in paradise.

The fun pack was very compact and I could find almost anything I need in it.It was very creative,useful and innovative too!The fun pack also came in a few colours.I loved the "star-clapper" and the electronic fan the best!I did not really know that Singapore was so advanced in technology!Wow!My family was so envious,we could just unzip a strip and the bag became smaller!

When we were singing our national anthem and saying our pledge,I felt very proud to be a Singaporean.The N.E. show was so good that the people going to the NDP 2007 would surely enjoy it.It was such an enjoyable experience at Marina Bay that I almost did not want to go home that day!

The N.E. show made me realise that we must defend our country and do our part as a Singaporean.

Teacher's Day Celebration

" Screeeeh! " The shrill screeching sound was an indication that an announcement was about to be broadcast over the P. A. system. " Sorry for the interruption.All the classes please go to the hall for the concert now. Thank you. "


It was the eve of Teachers' Day.And like the past, the school will be celebrating it by having a Teachers' Day concert.There will be many other exciting activities planned just for teachers to thank them for their hard work and effort in helping their students to get good results for their examinations. Most of the pupils of Gongshang Primary School had brought gifts and cards for their hardworking and nice teacher. The gesture had moved some teachers to tears of joy!


After making sure that the whole school was in the school hall, the announcer addressed them enthusiastically,"It is the eve of Teacher's Day!I'm sure every teacher in this school is enjoying himself or herself right now!We had put on this concert to show our gratitude towards the teachers who have taught us so patiently.We will have Malay and Chinese dancers performing for us!Now,let's welcome the Malay Dance onstage!Please give them a round of applause!"


The Malay Dance members danced very gracefully.Soon,everyone was engrossed in watching their dance.The lyrics of the song were slow and calm and it suited their dance very well.Soon,the dance came to an end and the audience all clapped loudly for them.



"That was a great performance from our beautiful and graceful Malay Dance Club!Now, it's turn for the Chinese Dance Club!"



The Chinese Dance's type of dance was quite opposite to Malay dance.The Chinese Dance members jumped very gracefully and the audience felt very alive just watching them perform.The lyrics were quick and catchy.And soon,the audience who were Chinese, were singing along with the music.

Then,an accident happened.Two of the Chinese dancers wearing cheongsams were so engrossed in their dance steps that they were unaware that they were dancing closer and closer to each other.Until...they accidentally banged into each other's head and fell down.They were both holding their heads in pain!

The music stopped,and for a moment there was silence.No one spoke.Then,a pupil laughed and pointed at the 'funny' sight before him.His laughter was 'contagious' and soon,almost all the audience, made up of students,parents and teachers,started laughing hysterically.


Immediately,two prefects ran onstage and helped the two dancers down the stage.The announcer soon silenced the audience and carried on with the concert by making the pupils sing the teacher's day song they had learnt during their music lessons.

The concert soon came to an end.Before being dismissed by the teacher,the principal came onstage.She spoke angrily to the people who had laughed at the accident."Do you know that it was very cruel of you to laugh at the two dancers who had fallen down?It was already a painful experience and the two dancers were very embarrassed and hurt by you!Did you consider their feelings?"Then, she passed the microphone to a teacher who dismissed all the students.


What was supposed to be a happy day turned into a "sad and lecturing day!"It was all because of the few people who had laughed at the hurt dancers.It was really bad of them to do that and I hope they will turn over a new leaf.

A visit to the hospital

It was a slow and dreary afternoon.The wind seemed to have stopped and the rays of the heartless sun beamed down like a thousand razor blades.My classmate had dengue fever and was warded in Tan Tock Seng Hospital.She had to be hospitalised for a few weeks to recover.

I decided to go to the hospital with my mother to visit her.We bought a bouquet of flowers and some fruit to be given to her.Soon,we were in the car,on our way to the hospital.

When we reached the hospital,we immediately went into the ward my classmate,Clare,was in.I saw many sick people on beds,some coughing and some sneezing.I could also smell the smell of medicine in the air.Suddenly,I spotted Clare lying in a bed,her face quite drained of colour and looking very exhausted.My mother and I quickly approached her and handed her the bouquet of flowers and the fresh cut fruit.We also wished her to get well soon and to get back to school to have lessons very soon.
We sat down on the chairs beside Clare's bed and observed the hospital ward.Ther were some nurses and doctors attending to some of the sick patients.Some relatives or friends of the patients were also sitting beside them.The nurses were checking the conditions of the sick people and were taking their temperature with a thermometer.
Soon,it was Clare's turn to take her temperature.We stood aside as the doctor put the thermometer into her ear.After the doctor has gone, I asked Clare ,"What was your temperature?Is it normal?"
"The doctor told me that I am recovering very well and I could go home after a few days!" Clare replied happily with a huge grin on her face.
"Yay!Congrats! We are so happy for you !" My mother and I whooped with joy and danced around together in the ward!
We stopped dancing as a lot of people started glaring at us.They must be thinking that we are very inconsiderate.My mother and I quickly opologised to the patients and then asked Clare,"So,are you feeling alright now?Do you need more rest ?"
Clare replied ,"I'm fine but I am now feeling very tired.The doctor wants to put me under observation for a few more days,then,I can go home!I really do look forward to being discharged."
"If you are really very tired,we will take our leave now.Do rest well!"I said.After that,my mother and I walked out of the ward quietly and went home.
The visit to the hospital made me realised that we should not make noise or play in the ward as the patients will be disturbed and will not be able to rest well.It is very inconsiderate to do that too.So,I will not be inconsiderate and disturb the sick patients the next time I visit the hospital!

Ha Ha

"I cannot go to school today,"Said little Peggy Ann McKay."I have the measles and the mumps,A gash, a rash, and purple bumps.My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,I'm going blind in my right eye.My tonsils are as big as rocks,I've counted sixteen chicken pox.And there's one more - that's seventeen!And don't you think my face looks green?My leg is cut, my eyes are blue-It might be instamatic flu.I cough and sneeze and gasp and chokeI'm sure that my left leg is broke.My hip hurts when I move my chin,My belly button's caving in,My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,My 'pendix pains each time it rains.My nose is cold, my toes are numb,I have a sliver in my thumb.My neck is stiff, my spine is weak.I hardly whisper when I speak.My tongue is filling up my mouth,I think my hair is falling out.My elbow's bent - my spine ain't straight.My temperature is one-o-eight.My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,There is a hole inside my ear.I have a hangnail, and my heart is-...WHAT?What's that?What's that you say?You say today is...Saturday?G'bye, I'm going out to play!"
