Term 1/Week 8

Hi Sporty 3.6 pupils,

Every morning, we have silent reading. Pupils read a variety of books and magazines. Reading is a habit. The more you read, the more you want to read.
In this week's journal writing, I would like you to reflect on the importance of reading and its influence on you.

As usual, here are some questions to help you with the journal writing.
1. Do you read every morning? Do you like it? Why?
2. What kinds of books do you like to read?
3. Do you think reading will help you with your school work? Why?
4. How can the school encourage pupils to read?
5. Can you tell us about a book you have read?
Write the name of the author and tell us why you like to read his/her book?

I am looking forward eagerly to read your comments/ reflections.
Cheers,
Ms Lee

Term1/Week 7

Dear Sporty3.6ers,
Last week we blogged on 'target setting', this week we will reflect on passion for learning since this is the value for the month of February.
I hope this journal writing will enable you to give this value some thought.

To help you in writing your reflection, here are some questions for you to think about:
1. What do you understand by 'passion for learning' ?
2. Why do you think it is necessary for people to have a passion for learning?
3. Do you know of any family members, famous people, relatives or friends with a passion for learning?
4. How do they show their passion for learning?
5. Do you think you have a passion for learning now? If 'Yes', why? If 'No', why?
6. What can you do to develop your passion for learning?

Don't forget to put your name down after you have given your comments.
Have a good week ahead.

Cheers,
Miss Lee
