Separation 2014

              It's almost the end of the year 2014... Time past really fast. It feels like when you just blinked your eyes, you're already in grade 8. Then, moving forward to high school, college and university. It feels really unusual as you want to have fun not growing up so fast. The most important thing is cherish your childhood.

             The question is what I liked about my year. Well, the first day of school in SIS, was amazing as I got to know my new friends. They were amazing and polite. I met awesome teachers too! The teachers were really energetic, making the class more awake. As time past, we had class parties, celebrations and game times. At the end if school, my classmates and I will always have extra curricular activities. We will play around and joke around, which was really hilarious! 

             I think I'll miss my teachers teaching my classmates and I because she'll make the class fun not boring XD I will also miss attending PE class as my teachers, Miss Jessica and Mr Frank made us tired :P I will miss being in the same class as my friends as they made the class crazy!

             My favourite memory in SIS was the school trip to Nomad, Perak. It was exciting as we got to play white water rafting, which was also my first time doing that :) We got to jump from a high height, which was terrifying! It was a fun time as we slept in a dorm where we can chat with each other and play. It felt like a holiday to us actually XD

            Well, I am scared of graduating to grade 8 as there will be harder things to learn and understand. There will be lots of tests and homework which frightens me! The exciting thing is that there will be new students, which is going to be awesome.

            I am looking forward to cherish the school trip that will be held in Singapore in December. That would be our last and final grade 7 fun time that we will spend together! 




Separation

A year ago i never picture my self like the way it's now . When I came to grade 8 , I was scared of new student , teacher . After 1 month I fell that I am more ok in class becouse I found that I am in best class with best teacher [ miss Yates ] I think I will miss all. My friend and teacher and the moment we have in PE . Best memory of sis was when I dress as Cupid and I took a lot of picture with all my friends. I am scared of going to grade 9because I am going to found new teacher and no core teacher.i look forward to get best mark in grade 9 and I go Canada faster
1)  I've researched about what is Rememberance Day. Rememberance Day AKA Armistice Day , its mean to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty since the end of World War 1 .  Its always celebrate in  11 November to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Most people celebrates the Rememberance day are people who will give up a fraction of their day to remember those who gave their lives so that we may live in freedom.  Poem that i found online : 

                      In Flanders fields the poppies blow
                   Between the crosses, row on row,
                   That mark our place; and in the sky
                   The larks, still bravely singing, fly
                   Scarce heard amid the guns below.
                   We are the Dead. Short days ago
                   We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
                   Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
                   In Flanders Fields.
                   Take up our quarrel with the foe:
                   To you from failing hands we throw
                   The torch; be yours to hold it high.
                   If ye break faith with us who die
                   We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
                    In Flanders Fields.
       By Dr John McCrae, 1915


2)    What i liked about this year 2014 is basically very less…. Because a lot bad things happen. For example , two MAS Airline had gone and died in the same year and other bad things had happen in other countries too . I 70% disliked this year and 30% liked this year. The percentage of I liked about my year is only 30% …. so the 30% that i liked about this year is i've met a lot new friends when started to come SIS . 
       This year are going to end which means next year i'm moving up to Grade 8 . Obviously i'll miss all of my Grade 7 friends especially my friends in my class. Other than that , i'll also miss all grade 7 teachers especially my core teacher - MR. NATHAN . When i first came in 7B , i thought Mr. Nathan is a very fierce teacher because he often smile . But after day pass by , i finally know that Mr Nathan is a good teacher , he likes to laugh at us and say some funny things. 
       My favorite memory at SIS so far is with my friends or best friends . And theme day that are very interesting. Further more, and all my Grade 8 friends, they are like my senior . But i got bad memory and good memory . Bad memory is when i argued with most of the grade 7 girls cause some stuff had happened, and now we 're back to be best friends.
      What I'm scare of next year  in grade 8 probably the teachers , friends and subjects.. Next year everything will be different , teachers , friends and move to difficult subjects . Most of the grade 8 teachers are gonna move to high school to teach :( I'm very sad cause i thought i can be in Ms.Yates class , but she 's gonna teach high school students year with Mr.Eves . and all grade 7 class are gonna move to all different grade 8 class . I wish all my best friends will be in the sane class with me .
     What I'm looking forward next year is Improve my grades more and grade 8 might be more difficult than grade 7 . Thats all i want next year :D 
      

seperation

I like my teacher and friend alot my teachers are so kind to me .i think i will miss all my friend and teachers . I favorite memory in SIS was playing dots ball with friend in PE i scared of the teacher was teaching me in next year.
Rememberance Day 

                   Rememberance Day is a memorial day observed in some countries to  remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. The countries that are celebrate Remembrance Day are Canada, New Zealand, American. It is observed on November 11th every year. People who celebrated usually bring first ever flower  because the color Red represent the blood of the armies who lost their lives. American celebrate it , but they call it as " Veteran Day".  

"They shall grow not old

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them." -
Laurence Binyon.

This is a poem about Remeberance Day :) 


Separation :'(

          It is nearly the end of the year and soon, we will be separated from our classmates and teachers. Some people will go to Grade 8, some Grade 9. I will be going to Grade 8 next year.

What did I like about the year?
 I liked the activities, and friends and almost everything about the year including physical education and theme days. Yes, I said ALMOST. I did not like writing assignments or homework.

What I think I'll miss?
I think I will miss the games and fun activities during classes because when I get to Grade 8, it may not be very fun anymore. I will also of course miss my teachers and friends.

Favourite memory at SIS so far?
My favourite memory was the parties that my class threw throughout the years. I also loved it when we (my class and I) worked together. I also loved the theme days because its the day when you can dress however you want. I also loved drama for The Arts in class.

What am I scared of?
I'm scared of what class am I going to be, are my friends going to go to the same class as me, what teacher is going to teach me. I am also scared of the level of education since it is going to be harder (obviously).

What do I look forward to?
I look forward to meet new friends and can finally be the 'older' ones in middle school. I want to make a lot of Grade 7 friends but I don't know if it's going to be easy xD. I also look forward to a new education.

          I really hope that I can be in a class where some of my classmates are in. That way, I don't have to rush to make friends the first day of school. I wish my friends the best in the new year.

Separation:
There are many things i liked about my year in grade 8. Most of them are being with my friends at school. others are the assignments that we do together. I mostly liked spending time with my friends.I also like to go on field trips like the one we did going to Broga. we get to experience a lot of things. We went flying fox playing challenging games and also built a raft to test it in the pond nearby. I think i would miss being with some of my friends.My favorite memory so far it getting to play computer games everyday during summer. I think i am sacred of being separated from my friends and not having to talk to them again. The things i look forward to is to make new friends and make a bigger connection with the students in the whole school so i can have friends anywhere i see.



Rememberance day

R8ememberance Day was celebrate in November 11 and celebrates every year .That was a day to remember the people that died for theor country and on that day the people will wear a poppy on there shirt.



Long ago and far away
across the ocean
wild and wide,
the young men stormed
an alien shore
where many of them died.
Here and now
old men remember
the valor and the gore,
and the boyish faces
of their youth
that are young for ever more

Rememberance Day Facts

"Remembrance Day was first observed in 1919 throughout the British Commonwealth. It was originally called “Armistice Day” to commemorate armistice agreement that ended the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m.—on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month."

"The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. 
Some of the 54 Commonwealth member states, such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Other nations observe a solemn day but at different dates. For example, ANZAC Day is observed in New Zealand on April 25. In South Africa, Poppy Day is marked on the Sunday that falls closest to November 11"
We should learn to appreciate what we have before it's gone.
Rest in peace warriors ):


SEPERATION - GRADUATION 27.11.14 ):

I liked making new friends! (: I also liked learning new things! (:
Yes, it was hard, a lot has happened this year, but we need to know that life never gives you what you want to precieve so we should just stop looking back and start moving foward. (:
I'll miss being the in the oldest grade XD ahaha no. I don't know, I'll miss being a year younger, cause the older I get the harder life's become. I'm scared because I think I'm not ready, it was hard enough skipping a grade to get here, but for all the work and stres. ): I'll learn to deal with it though, I always do.. (:
I'm scared of highschool, it's like we've to struggle to fit in again, and exams as well. The thought of failing scares me. Everything scares me to be honest, I just misgregard them and move along, what else should I do? Ahah. (:
My favourite memory at SIS has been meeting the amazing people I call my friends today! (': <3
I'm looking foward to finding a part of myself in highschool. (:
Life goals: To stay strong (:




Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is the memory of those who died in WorldWars I and II, similar to Veterans Day in the U.S.The federal government recognizes Remembrance Day in the Holidays Act as a national holiday, but not all provinces treat it as a paid statutory holiday. Its status varies by province.
 
The other common name for this day is Armistice Day which marks the date and time when armies stopped fighting on November 11th at 11am in 1918 (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month) marks the end of the first world war in the UK - this date and time was made into Remembrence Day in commonwealth countries.

Remembrance Day

Hello everyone!

          Today were going to talk about Remembrance Day :) Well, basically Rememberance Day takes place every year on November 11. It is a day to remember for the countries of Commonwealth of the army that fought in World War 1, who also lost their lives.

          Countries like Jamaica, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, America and few other countries do celebrate Remembrance Day too. An interesting fact is people who celebrates it, do wear poppies. By reason why is because it was the first ever flower to bloom during the war. The flower is red, so it represents the blood of the armies who lost their lives. It is also counted as respecting them. Remembrance Day is also known as Poppy Day as poppy are worn on clothing on Remembrance Day.

          The war came to an end at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. It is observed and remembered since 1918 till today. The first Remembrance Day was in 1919, just a year after the war. Every November 11th, there's always a 2 minute silence at 11am to remember the armies.

Remembrance Day :)))

Hello,

          Today, I have to talk about Remembrance Day that is happening on November 11th. People celebrate Remembrance Day to remember the soldiers who protect their homeland. The soldiers who fought at the World War I. Countries like Jamaica and the host of other Caribbean Islands celebrate them.

        You would think that the only countries that celebrate Remembrance Day are Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. America also celebrates it but they call it 'Veteran Day'. The poppy flower is a sign of remembrance day. People would draw them, wear them etc.

         In Canada, citizens were not allowed to have a holiday on Remembrance Day. They prefer everyone gathering together and have some silent moments. It should not be a day when you can sleep in, or watch tv etc.
  
         Here is a picture that represents Remembrance Day. Every Remembrance Day poster or image will have a poppy flower

Scenario 2014

              I can’t believe that I forgot my math textbook at school when I have a test on Monday. My driver had to drop me off to get it. As I walked up the front steps of SIS, I realized that all of the lights were off, and I couldn't see anyone around. The front door creaked open, and small bugs were running around the floor. Something felt strange. I finally reached the front desk and I felt something went pass in front of me. Wind was blown across my face. 

             I thought it was my imagination so I ignored it and went straight to my classroom. Suddenly, I heard echoes saying, "You..." I gulped and turned back slowly... There was nothing at all. It freaked me out when I heard echoes when actually it's not. I then went to my locker and took out my locker key. However, it slipped off my hands. I wanted to take it on the ground, but it moved. My eyes were wide opened. I just couldn't believe what I just saw. 

            I slowly bent down to take it. Fortunately, I managed to take it. I took a deep breath. When I inserted my locker key into the key hole, I couldn't open it at all. It was terrifying. Imagining someone touching me from behind. I turned it clockwise and anti-clockwise but it wouldn't work at all. I was panicking! "Don't even dare..." A sound just voiced out. "I'm sorry if I did anything wrong to you. I just want to open my locker to take my textbook and straightaway go back home. I promise that I won't disturb you," I said calmly. 

           It was total silence... I could just hear my heartbeat beating and myself breathing. I looked left and right but nothing was there. I just immediately tried to open my locker and it worked. I quickly took my textbook and closed my locker. I then took out my cellphone and checked it. There wasn't internet connection at all. I felt strange and curious. I ran towards the door of SIS, but it was locked. I kept on pulling the door or but then I won't open. I was inhaling and exhaling really fast. 

          Suddenly, I saw a blinking light somewhere at the front desk. I blinked and opened my eyes. It was still blinking. I walked slowly towards it... But, it stopped blinking. "Come here..." An echo suddenly appeared from nowhere. I was shaking and feeling tensed. I was saying to myself, "Calm down, calm down, don't be afraid." I kept on walking towards the front desk. 

         I felt someone's hand on my back. I immediately turned around and saw a friend of mine dressed up in a scary costume. I screamed so loudly as I was frightened. All the lights were then opened brightly and clearly until I just realized that I was pranked by my classmates and teachers. It gave me a nightmare as I was thought something bad was going to happen which made me terrified. They greeted to me  "Happy Halloween!" I was laughing so badly because I seriously thought that there was a ghost in SIS.

School Scenario (spooky)

            I can’t believe that I forgot my math textbook at school when I have a test on Monday. My driver had to drop me off to get it. As I walked up the front steps of SIS, I realized that all of the lights were off, and  I  couldn't see anyone around. The front door creaked open, and small bugs were running around the floor. Something felt strange. I finally reached the front desk and I saw no one at the front desk. 
           
           I just decided to walk to my class room.When I walked pass the staircase, the first floor was completely pitched black. This was just starting to creep me out. It is just 5.30 pm and the place was pitched black. I didn't want to stay too long so I started running towards my class to get my textbook. When I opened the door, I saw a girl I didn't know sitting on one of my friend's seat. I was super scared.

         "Umm, don't mind me, I will just be taking my math textbook," I said worriedly. She didn't move. She had long hair and white skin, she was wearing a white dress. Her head was looking at the ground. I quickly ran to my seat to get my book. Suddenly, she stood up from her seat and walked towards the door. I had a thought to follow her or not.

        Should I? It is very scary but I was really curious. I had no idea but the last thing I remember is just following her. She walked up the gloomy stairs. I followed. When I reached the first floor, I saw nothing. Then, suddenly, she stopped walking. She turned around and I could see her terrifying face. Her face was so scary I can't even explain it. It looked as if she fell from a hundred floors with her face mashed up. "Why are you following me?!" She screamed so loud the glass of the classrooms shattered into pieces.

      I couldn't think, I had to run for my life as she was chasing me. I ran out the door and the front gate was closing. I thought I couldn't make it. I didn't. My back was pushing towards the door as the girl in white was getting closer. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't run and no one was in school. I thought my life was over.

      I closed my eyes to wish all of this would go away. Suddenly, I heard a female voice say:"You dropped this," I opened my eyes and saw the girl holding my cellphone. "I thought you were gonna kill me," I was so tired and surprised. "No, you dropped your....thing..." She said like she had no soul.
   
      "It's called a cell phone....thanks....."

      "You are welcome" She then waved her hand and the door flew open. I was free. I walked slowly outside and when I turn back towards the door, the girl was gone. Till this day I can't forget what I experienced. I didn't understand her kindness and her being in the school. What I know is that I never saw her again....but when I wrote a letter to her and left it in the school......she always replied 'It's lonely', and never said why....

1.) Why is Halloween celebrated and how did it originate?


Evolving from the ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain, modern Halloween has become less about literal ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The Celts used the day to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, and also believed that this transition between the seasons was a bridge to the world of the dead.  Over the millennia the holiday transitioned from a somber pagan ritual to a day of merriment, costumes, parades and sweet treats for children and adults.

1.) Why is Halloween celebrated and how did it originate?
                Halloween isa yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31st October.Modern day Halloween, far from being a festival focused on the negative side of death or souls in purgatory is now embracing a fun side which is reveled in throughout various countries worldwide.Typical festive Halloween activities include Trick Or Treating, attending costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted house attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. Halloween costumes are traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as vampires, monsters, ghost, skeletons, witches, and devils. There are several games traditionally associated with Halloween parties.
Happy Halloween ! :) 


HALLOWEEN

It is said that Halloween is celebrated to disguise themselves from the ghost, goblins,demons,etc.People disguise themselves as ghost,goblins demons,or any other types of monsters so that when they walk amongst the living they would not recognize them and would even run away . This is because that the ghost, demons, or goblins could not see their own reflection and if someone looks like them it would be weird. The people would put food at the front of their houses to please the ghost,goblins demons and others so they would not trick them into casting a spell. Hence the word "Trick or Treat" Halloween originated from the Celtic tribes in 500B.C. The people in the British, Irish and Scottish  were believed to be the descendent's of the Celtic tribe and that they believed in Samhain the lord of death . in the end of summer lord of death, Samhain would let the dead visit the living.

I finally made it to the front desk and saw a piece of paper floating down the stairs and i went to grab it the paper. There was red words on the paper saying " HELP ME". i kept the paper in a folder inside my bag.
i went upstairs to look where the paper originated from. I look at my surrounding but i couldn't see much because it was dark , luckily i dressed up for theme day at school and was a guy with a flash light. i looked around and found another piece of paper located in front of a door leading to the MPH. There was a writing on the piece of paper and it said "I AM IN THE MPH SOMEONE HELP ME". i went up the flight of stairs and saw red liquid on the floor. immediately i thought of blood but it dried out hours ago and i found out it was just paint. i went into the MPH there was many pieces of paper on the floor and all of them have footprints leading behind the stage. I went on the stage the cover was covering the stage when i went under the cover the lights were on and everyone i school jumped out and sacred me. I did not flinch but in fact i knew that this was going to happen and pretend to be frighten after that we went back to our classrooms and we saw a ghost in there everybody ran out . I said " Very funny guys this must be another prank"then i went there to take of the costume but i went through it . I was surprised and looked around there were no light anywhere knowing this i ran out of the school as fast as i can and gathered with my whole class outside. i asked them was that one of their pranks to scare me but they did not answer i could see on their expression that the ghost was not a prank and they were like traumatized. That day i found out that the school was haunted.

Halloween 2014

Hello everybody!

              It's Halloween! Yay!!! XD It is celebrated every year on October 31st. The word Halloween also means All Hallows' Eve. Its origins are from a Christian festival known as Samhain. The common activities that are for Halloween are costumes dressing, trick or treat, putting up haunted houses, creating Jack O Lanterns etc :D The main thing about Halloween is to remember and respect the deads.

              In the night of Halloween, kids or adults go to the neighborhood for treat or treating. The owner of the house are suppose to respond to them by giving them candies. It is stated that it happens between 5.30pm and 9.30pm.

              An interesting fact is that if people want to keep ghosts away from their house, they would but food in a bowl to let them eat rather than let them in their home. People would leave their homes after dark so that the ghosts will think that they're spirits and not humans.

             Happy Halloween!!! Have fun! :P

Halloween!!!

Good day!
                It's Halloween!!! I had to research about Halloween, Halloween is about to remember the souls of Christian people that had passed away. It is a day when the dead rise to see the living. They would walk around the land. People dress up so that they could confuse the dead or ghosts,
               
         Halloween was originated as Catholic vigil, also called as Hallow's Evening, or Allhalloween. Halloween is celebrated because by many people, they think it's the only season where people can be super spooked than any other day. Some, for spiritual reasons. 
       
       But of course, people also like trick or treat! Kids absolutely love them. There is trick or treating during Halloween is because it means it is offering food to other people but over the years, it became candy than food XD.

  HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Happy Halloween!!

Virtue Of The Month October 2014 : Empathy

Hello everyone!

            The virtue of the month is Empathy! :D I personally think empathy is a person understanding other person's feelings and experiences by sharing it with them. Empathy is a good way to be for a person because it can make others feel happy as you're an understanding person. You must treat others like the way you want to be treated as it will be fair and square. You must care for others as they have to right to be respected :) Everyone is the same. Would you rather teased others or treat them nicely? Of course treating them nicely is better as they have feelings too. It's not like there's one special person, who doesn't have an identity or belong to a community. So, I think empathy is really important to every single one of us in the world :)



        

We should care for each other feelings, not by blaming each other.

Virtue Of The Month : EMPATHY B)

Hello,
           This month's virtue is EMPATHY. I think empathy means putting yourself in other people's perspectives.It could be understanding other people's lives. I was meant to link empathy to a video, a picture, an article, a GIF. I thought it would be entertaining to link empathy with a video. Here is a QUITE touching video that I found. It is a 4 minute video and I hope that you enjoyed the video as much as how I enjoyed it :)
I think that this video linked to empathy perfectly well because it shows what if you actually knew what did all these people go through, would you look at them differently? I think people can be more empathetic towards others by understanding their conditions, and helping them with it. Maybe, he or she would feel better, and you could be doing a big and good part!

Thanksgiving :D

Thanksgiving in my opinion is a holiday that is a day where people thank God for what they are given. It is a holiday that is celebrated all around the world depending on what ethnicity you follow, though it is commonly a practised tradition in the United States,Canada and the United Kingdom (atleast as far as I know).

For this blogpost, I would like to talk about Canadian Thanksgiving
and you might be wondering why Canada? Well, because I was assigned to and also because I have developed a slight feeling of patriotism towards Canada! (:




Now you must be thinking that heh it's the same as America's Thanksgiving, well I'm here to tell you it's not! 

For one, Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving in October and not November and they also don't have to celebrate it because of religion, though most do.

The second point is that it's not as strongly associated to shopping, as we all know in America, Thanksgiving is before Black Friday, another holiday which we can talk about another time. So, back to my rant about Canada and Thanksgiving.

(My resources for how Canada's Thanksgiving differs from America:
How Thanksgiving in Canada is different (: )

I've done an adequete amount of research and learned that Thanksgiving is a really important holiday, not only spiritually but emotionally too, it is a holiday(for some) where they value the impotance of ethics and for all, it is a holiday where gratitude and love is shared. It brings people closer together, a time to celebrate all the joys in life and look upon the mistakes you've made so that in the future, you can improve. (:
It is a holiday that helps you grow (:

Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner. 

          Canadian Thanksgiving Dinner is an event that celebrates the blessing and thankful for what has done past year. They will have a large meal during Thanksgiving like Roasted Turkey, fish, corn, squash, carrots,Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream etc.They will also  crave a pumpkin to made the pumpkin more interesting. Thanksgiving dinner related to our Chinese New Year because of we can saw our long lost cousin or family members. We will also have reunion dinner just same and have a big meal. Thanksgiving dinner also related to Christmas that are on December 25th because of we also eat turkey and a very big meal on that day.Everyone on those event will also chatting, eating, and also sharing.The things that interest me is canadian also have some kind of reunion dinner that same as chinese. I'm thankful that I have enough food to eat. Because there are some countries that have no enough food to eat, then they die. And some of the countries were wasting those food by throwing a good quality food to dustbin.

Canadian Thanksgiving ^^

        After doing some research, I have learned that thanksgiving is about the harvesting season and being thankful for what you have for the past years as long as you are born. It is also a day where people get together with their friends and families :) They also eat all kinds of food like turkey, salad etc. Strawberries, pie, grapes are also served. Most importantly is the turkey and the pumpkin.

Yusheng
       Just like Thanksgiving, families and friends also get together during Chinese New Year. But, Chinese New Year is celebrated in a week, and during that seven days, we visit almost everyone we know. We also have a dish called "Yusheng", it is a must in Chinese New Year, like how turkey is a must during Thanksgiving. During Thanksgiving, there is Thanksgiving dinner, and during Chinese New Year, we have a dinner which is called reunion dinner, its a dinner where we eat with our closest families,
tang yuan
     
       During the reunion dinner, we serve food like dumplings, tang yuan, fish, spring rolls, glutinous rice cake which is called "nian gao". If I celebrated Thanksgiving, I would of course serve turkey. I would also serve fruitcake and pie <3 Since I love mushroom soup, I would serve it. Fruit salad, mashed potato...I am getting hungry. :(

         I am thankful that I have the internet xD Because without it, I would't make it through school. I would also be bored everyday at home, because without the internet, I wouldn't have youtube. I am also thankful that I have limbs and I am normal with functioning eyes, nose, mouth and ears. :)

         To be honest, I have never celebrated Thanksgiving before, perhaps I can give it a try with my friends and family when I have the chance. :)

Canadian Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving dinner are made from foods native to the New World, as according to tradition the Pilgrims received these foods from the Native Americans.i will serve a turkey ,pie,baked potato,bread and mushroom soup.I learned that thanksgiving dinner have a lot of food and must have a turkey.I thankful that we have food to eat every day.  

I think to understand some feeling or share your feeling to your frind or your family that call empathy.

Canadian Thanksgiving 2014

Hello Miss Yates!

                An interesting fact about the Canadian Thanksgiving, is that it has a holiday on the second Monday of October! It's fascinating! The reason for the Canadian Thanksgiving is to get families to gather together to spend time with each other. Though on Thanksgiving, all shops, restaurants, work areas, etc are closed due to the festival. Canadians held this festival is because of thanking God that they appreciated what they had throughout the years.

                A holiday that Chinese celebrate is Chinese New Year. It's also known as Spring Festival. During this festival, we wear red clothes and put out firecrackers to let no evil spirits come near us or disturb us. Another thing is that we don't sweep the floor during the festival because it is said to be that were sweeping all the fortunes away. Children receives a red packet filled with money inside as it's related to Chinese. The number four, means death to Chinese. The colour can't be black during this festival as it is not respected.

               The great thing about this festival is food! During New Year's Eve, we normally eat it with our family as it is a reunion for us. For instance, we eat dumplings, glutinous rice, oranges and many other more. We usually do a mixing of ''yee sang" with chopsticks as you can say anything you want that will bring good luck to you. It is a mixture of raw fish salad. It contains salmon, vegetables and variety of sauces.

              The dish that I would serve at Thanksgiving dinner, will be roast turkey!!! I loveeee it a lot! Especially dipping it with the sauce... :P Well, I am thankful that I am in the best school that I've ever been to XD SIS is a very unique school as they have lots of activities! This school is like a dream come true <3 The teachers are just so amazing. Another thing that I am thankful for is... Having great parents! Being the only child is quite okay, however spending time with your family is so lovely :) And of course, thankful for Internet that I can look up at anything and chat with my friends when I am free :D I am also thankful for making all these friends in SIS who are awesome! I hope that time won't fly too fast as this year is flying like an airplane :(

I think that Canadian thanksgiving is an annual  holiday that Canadian celebrates the harvest of the past year. It is a  day that people celebrates and give thanks to their harvest in the year.In Malaysia we also celebrates thanksgiving but we gather with our family and relatives to have a feast.In thanksgiving dinner. I would serve a soup with balls of dough with some mashed peanuts in the dough of the soup. I think i would be thankful that i get to meet with my family altogether for once through out the whole year. I am also thankful that i have a big family and a family who cares about each other.


I think empathy is helping others when they are in need and also feeling how they feel so you can help them with what you have experience or how you overcome it.  This is a link i have that also explain what is empathy and how it can change the  world. This is the link to the video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU3QfyqvHk8 . The video is called "Empathy can change the world". This video helps us understand empathy
and gives ideas of how empathy can help people. This video also gives an example of how a chain reaction 
can start by having empathy on a person. I Think people cna help each other by being there for them when 
they needs us the most. By being there for them can help make them feel better knowing that someone cares 
about  them even if it is not their own family

Hi

SIS Video Challenge 2k14 (:

GO TEAM EXTREME!

I think that Team Extreme deserves to win, not only because their my friends, but because their the only middle school team that made it to the TOP 5. How amazing is that? :O

They have all the qualities for a well produced video.
- Good audio.
- Great footage.
- A great balance between being informative and entertaining.

They put in a lot of hardwork into their video entry, spending lots of time editing and making the final cuts so that their video will turn out aweome, I think that it really did turn out really cool and their effort is quite evident! :)

I also think that since they made it into the TOP 5, it shows the highschool kids that even if we middle school kids are younger, we're still capable of producing work of the same quality, if not better! :D

So I say, #Vote4TeamExtreme and show them middle school power!
(You can vote by liking the video, muchly appreciated if you do)

SIS ROCK

  Hello MS YATES!
My name is Gexuan Shi
         
   I like the first video the most. Because it's meaningful. It starts with a people singing, and some of them are playing musical instrument.They also show that there is a good had a problem on her homework, then another classmate go and help her. This is also same as what we are doing all of the time.When we have problem on homework, we also can ask our elbow partner, maybe we an solve the problem together after that we probably can get a good answer.They use the idea of cutting SIS LOGO to many pieces. Different pieces of SIS LOGO were given by a lot of people. This is also mean that if we need to let the SIS to be more perfect, we all need to worked together. This video is just basically talking about what we doing at school.

SIS Video Challenge 2014

Hello Miss Yates!

I really like the #EverythingSIS by Basically YACOT for the top 5 SIS Video Challenge. The reason why is because they used the GOPRO camera, which was awesome! I like how they recorded some of the sports from SIS. It was appealing! The most attractive part was when some students were at the SUN-U Residence having a swimming club. The reason why is because they showed students diving into the water with a waterproof camera! It was cool and nice. Basically, it shows what SIS is all about :) They made the video really unique and special. There were also people smiling throughout thr video, which apparently made me happy! The video told me that in SIS, even though there were sad times and disagreement times, we will always be happy. Initially, I thought the video was only about sports, however it even showed the feelings of the students. In the end, it really made me touched by the form of the video. The video also showed how happy are the students in SIS like studying together, talking with each other, playing sports together and etc. My wish it to make them to be the winner of the video challenge.

SIS Video Challenge :)

Hello, Maxine here!

For the top 5 SIS video challenge, I personally like SIS Rocks by Poulets in Pajamas. This is because they really show what is so special about SIS. They stated the morning announcements, the kindness in the school, the happy times that we go through etc.

 The video made me feel very happy and thinking "so true" :P . Honesty is demonstrated everyday in this school, my friends do help me through hard times, and most importantly, we do celebrate our happiness together. Like my class, 7D, we are extreme party animals.

 We love to party a lot, but of course, we also focus on our study in the same time ^^. They also showed the banners of the monthly virtues which was respect, reminded me that students in SIS is lovely and amazing because they take action following the virtues. They showed that students forgive themselves when they got a bad mark or something bad happened.

 The video made me feel friends are always there when you need them, which is true, it just depends on whether you made the right choice or the wrong one.  Students here have Stewardship just like what the video said. Teachers and students cooperate very greatly here. :)

               In my opinion best video was perform by Team extreme because it has more effort. Extreme team put  more explaining SIS than others.  I think extreme team has put more effort on the videos  more than others . It has more speaking than others . i think it was good because it has better sound and music than the other . The extreme team has better camera and video typing . Extreme team put more fact , it ask some question from some teacher and student . overall i think extreme team should win because it has better effort
I like the video SIS rocks by team extreme because it is very detailed and has opinions from students in SIS. It catches attention of the people by putting a sort of cartoon entrance.The video is not just about talking but also shows pictures to help visualize the environment. For instance letting people know what the mph looks like. It also explains what type of sports are played in the Mph like badminton , cheer leading, futsal,
basket ball, etc. This video is helpful to students who are new to this school by showing the facilities of the school. People in this school adds in their opinion to let others know how each of them feels.The opinion of the students and teachers are used to help let others understand why they think it is good. When viewing the mph and other facilities ,there is a narrator to help guide them through. The narrator inform what is it what do we do there and how we help the students. this is why i think that this video is great.
