(1) What are we doing? What have we done?
We are actually doing a Chinese New Year hamper for the elderly to celebrate the new year. We have collaborated money for the class fund to buy"goodies" for the elderly. We have also gained a bit of knowledge about the elderly surrounding us.
(2) How do we think that we are affecting the recipients of the hamper? What will be different for them?
I think we are affecting them by giving them a joy that they savour. Well, in my opinion they lives will be forever cheery and maybe it's only for that moment but I am glad that we made a difference. They will also be able to understand that there are people out there that are willing to lend them a listening ear, carry their burden and even sympathise with them.
(3) What could be our next step to care for this group of recipients?
Our next step could be making visits to them and helping them to maybe decorate their place or their home. We can do this as they have been either abandoned by their family members and have not much to do so we can actually cheer them up. They would also be delighted to see the younger generation helping out.

Maths and Numbers

Yes, I agree with him. 1 and 0 are not prime numbers, therefore any number greater than two can be made up of prime numbers. For example, 10 is made up of 5 and 2.

Post Orientation Reflection
by
Matt
Three highlights in the Secondary 1 orientation camp were completing the intermediate elements, gaining a new friend and cleaning up the food for others! However in there 3 highlights, there were also three "low" moments of the orientation like the part when I hurt my toe that prevented me from doing some activities that I really wanted too, meeting some very unfriendly people and leaving the camp. The 3 greatest takeaway/ lesson from the orientation camp was that I learnt that I am never alone, just do your best in everything and anything you do do it well.
I learnt that I have strengths and weaknesses like everybody, and that I am never perfect. I am looking forward to further evolving in my studies, character, behaviour and my sports. ( For the better of course)

Why is communication important?
by
Matt
I think that communication is important as it helps people and animals to convey their messages and thoughts to others. My favourite type of communication is verbal. I like verbal communication as it is rather easy to convey thoughts and opinions through the mouth. You can either decide by checking what kind of conversation you're having, for example- Formal, informal, chatting (internet) braille and others.
Difficulties I face in communication is that I talk too fast when I speak, as a result people cannot understand me, I usually stutter when I talk and I can't express myself well enough. Also when I communicate with the visual impaired and the mute.

Matt
Well today I entered my class I had a few friends with me so I didn't feel so nervous, then we played with skittles for an ice-breaker, finally we played "Blow Wind Blow". I learnt how to mix around with "strangers", I chose SST as my um... parents sort of Blackmailed me I repeat SORT OF and also part of my interest in technology and a new way of learning. I hope from my time in SST I will play my part and contribute as much as possible to the School.
