MY 5 YEARS IN BUKIT TIMAH PRMARY SCHOOL
My 5 years in Bukit Timah Primary School were great! I had a lot of fun these 5 years, meeting new classmates and making new friends each year. I met lots of friends, but sometimes, you don't know if those friends are really your friends and don't do bad things or ignore you. Since Kindergarten 2, I've known Timothy for at least or almost 7 years. He's a true friend, but sometimes he is annoying and thinks he always right. Another one is Tim Yap from 6 Charity, he's also a good friend and I've known him since Primary 1. There are some friends which I only met last year, they are Chen Zung, Si Jia and Jing Jie. (Jing Jie's from 6 Charity but go 6 Faith for chinese) They sometimes call names even though you're their friend. I still play with them but all of them can catch me. I really don't know if there're my real friends. They won't even tell me that Lee You (from 6 Faith) has caught chicken pox and cannot come to school intil Mr Khoo ask Chen Zung todayand I heard it! I was really angry with him! All I need is both of my real friends.

WHAT I EXPECT OF 6 GRACE
What I expect for 6 Grace is for the people to be kind and understanding. Also for everybody not to call names at each other.

Reflection on Hatchet Debate

Within 1 hour, 39 pupils spoke out and shared some of their thoughts on a given topic and in so doing allowed others to have insight of their own beliefs and values - think of the 'Perfect Home' discussion.

I would like to applaud the 39 individuals for bringing such a professional quality to the debate - all contributed to its success and the 'energy' that resulted from this concerted effort will be converted into greater motivation for 6 Grace.

Please take time to reflect and share your thoughts on the following:

How did this debate affect my perceptions of myself?
In what ways did the debate fit my learning style?
Has it influenced the way I perceive English and Literature?
What did the debate show us about the 'tricks' authors use to captivate the heart and mind of the reader?

I had such pleasure hosting the debate and I felt the true magic of 6 Grace.

Please post your thoughts. Thank you.
