The First Semester in SST: Reflections

Learning in SST has been really very special and interesting. I have learnt more about the use of ICT and the influence it holds. ICT is awesome for learning :D There are many types of software, applications and even programs to stimulate our learning and our thirst for more knowledge. Life in SST has been good, as most of the Teachers are really nice and my schoolmates are soooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!After all these months in SST, I have set some goals for myself for the Next Term. One of my goals for this term is to get a seat in the Exco in Class, or in my CCA or run for being a PSL.My other goal is to resolve some issues with some of my schoolmates.I also want to do better for my Science and Maths because I feel that it isn't good enough to meet my expectations as I felt that the Paper was fairly easy for Maths especially. I could have got like 5 more marks if it wasn't for careless mistakes!!!I had to do really well in Secondary One since Sec 1 work could be the easiest already =='' I also want to do MUCH better for my Chinese Composition because I felt that it would be a waste if scored quite well for my Paper 2 but my Composition pulls everything down...For my History and English, I.have.no.thing.to.say... As for my Geography...it really feels very indignant to not get full marks just because of ONE careless mistake again. My History and Geography marks are really...kind of ridiculous but luckily its a combined subject *phew*

But most importantly,I'll just have fun while I'm still a Sec 1 ^^

Sec 1 Maths Perf Task Reflection

Statistics is being used from case to case in daily life. Statistics always come from Mass amounts of Data, and can be represented in many forms. Statistics displayed in different forms, may show hidden patterns and trends which may be of use to the reader/analyser that aren't shown when in raw data form. Statistics basically summarise the table of contents and data, so everything can be digested at one glance by the reader.

Statistics can help us greatly, and benefit different people of different walks of life.For example, Sports recruiters check out potential athletes.They track their progress,compare them with other athletes and choose the best of the best. All this could only be available because of the presence of Statistics,which help show comparison easily with just a glance.However,these data maybe represented differently for different purposes.

Before we go on to the different ways a set of data can be represented, let's circle around what a specific set of data to be should consist of,or even what can it be made of.

Data is anything that involves information. There are two types of data, "hard" data and "soft" data. Hard data are data that have fixed values,and would be universal. Soft data is the opposite of Hard data, as it may vary from one person to another who collects the data, as it may be affected by bias. The accuracy of the Data may also be affected by the person collecting it, and of course other circumstances and factors like:
>Human Errors in Transferring/Digitizing of Data
>Wrong Classification of Numbers
>Person collecting Data is Unorganized and mix up Data collected
>The Method used to collect the Data

Data can be represented into different forms, for example:
>Line Graphs (Mostly used to show Progress of a company/being, also used to show hidden Trends and Patterns)
>Bar Graphs (Used to show Comparison between data sets)
>Histograms (Usually makes use of Continuous Data and bars arranged in Continuous order)
>Frequency Table (Can hold smaller sets of data but keeping it exact.)
>Stem & Leaf (Can hold large sets of data while keeping its original numbers and Require a Key/Legend like 1|10)
>Dot Diagrams (Horizontal Axis's Labels are Continuous and Require a Key/Legend)

Personal Reflection:
We have came up with a new method of representing the data into a easy to compare Bar Graph. So that even if people who read out statistical Poster feel that our Conclusions has some mistakes, they can see from the Bar Graphes itself and come up with their own conclusion. Although most likely it would be the same one as ours. The group volunteers to take on different roles, and would finish the work asked to complete by the dateline the group gives. This saves us a lot of time, as some work cannot be started without the others being completed. All the members in my group have this sense of urgency, as we in fact have really little time to do this Maths Performance Task. I helped Sandy with coming up with Bar Charts in our format and fill in the Table in Google Spreadsheet. If there is a similar Project in the Future, I would like to collect the Data together with my group as the Data is not completely accurate.

Reflections for CE Period:Diversity

3 things I've learnt:
-The other meaning of Diversity(either than Science).
-That Diversity means being able to accept people and be open to personalities.
-Everybody is different,special and unique.
2 things I enjoyed during the lesson:
-The birthdate arranging session!!!But I only remember birthdays up to May...(I didn't realise there's a rule that you can't help your classmates until i sat back in my desk and read the Keynote...LOLS)
-The hand circling part,as I had problems trying to kick in my seat...

CNY Hamper Reflection

We are actually doing a good deed by giving this Hamper to the elderly.Most elderly are very lonely so when they see us giving them such a Hamper which we put in so much effort in they would be touched by our efforts in preparing it and not the monetary value of the items included in the Hamper.They will feel cared for during this CNY and remember that they are not alone during this holiday of gathering.I would really want to have a home visit to their homes and show them that our care for them doesn't just end with a Hamper.I would like to care for them through actions and not just a Hamper.

Maths and Numbers

I agree.I think what the mathematician means is what is now known as Index Notation.Index Notation is a form of expressing big numbers as a product of multiplying its prime numbers found from using prime factorisation.

Post Orientation Reflection

The highlights of the orientation was the First day of school,which we first met our classmates,form teacher and PSLs.Next is the orientation camp and then the badge ceremony.
The lower moments were the subject orientations.(Maths,Physics science and sports and wellness)My greatest takeaways was the courage to try out new things,my new friends and the new sense of belonging in SST.I learnt that i am actually stronger than what i thought.I am looking forward to helping out in the Open House and other DSA stuff this year!And of course not forgetting the new campus :)!!!!!!

2.(Looks away from him),"Gee,I'd rather not talk about it.(Looks away),(silence),(ignores Jim)
3.She tried to avoid the topic and all her responses were really short.She could have told Jim that she really didn't like what he was saying directly so that Jim will understand.

4.Jim should have been more aware of Ann's body language so that he will know that An actually doesn't feel good about his questions to her.

English Homework: Communications!

Communication is important so that humans can share knowledge and information with other people and also gain some too.My favourite forms of communication is a face to face talk.Not only can hear what the toher party has to say, we can also see him or her use actions to express himself/herself.When somebody can't understand whatever knowledge you are trying to send to the receiver,you will use another method to see if he or she can understand better.I tend to use both Chinese and English at the same time so some of my friends find it hard to understand what i am saying.

Day 2:Tower Building


Day 1 Mac Attack 1 - Activity 4: End-of-Day Reflection

Actually most of the day was listening.Listening to instructions,learning about the device and the golden 3Rs of SST(you know, two ears one mouth???)well one thing i really learnt today is the difference between secondary and primary school.to be truthful, a main reason i chose SST was because of its new campus and not forgetting the applied learning involved in fact, i don't really know what applied learning is but all i know that is A WHOLE NEW WAY OF LEARNING.i became SO interested in the school since i recieved the pamphlet on the school's open house.i want to contribute in bringing up the name of SST.Whether it is by taking part in competitions or maintaining good conduct in and outside school, i will do my best!i wanted to be a part of it.

apparently,i cant seem to access any of my class' photos so i can only make do with describing.
we actually did do an activity for us to discuss ad write down our feelings about the 3Rs in small groups.we then had a gallery walk which i found very meaningful.the gallery walk let me see the other types of roles,responsibilities,and rights and i was thinking: why didn't i think of that???
