Sports day

We had sports day on the 6th of March 2009. It was held at Yio Chu Kang Stadium. My mother drove me and my big sister there. We reached there at 7:15 . When we entered the stadium, we saw many people. Then, we settled down. After that, the teacher announced to the students to go to their houses. We settled down to our house at the grandstand, Ruby. I was sitting next to my big sister. The first event was Athletics. We cheered for Ruby. One of my classmates, Amanda, from sapphire, participated in the race. Later, there were students giving us food and drinks. We were also playing a game on the grandstand. My classmates, from the Green Club were collecting empty plastic bottles and food wrappers. In the end, we sang the National Anthem and we took the bus to school. I felt hot, sweaty , tired and I enjoyed a little on sports day.

Fire Safety

3. Turn gas mains off and call for help

• Turn off the gas mains if you can reach it and dial 995.

If You Are Trapped In A Fire

Don't panic, stay calm and follow these steps:

1. Move to a safe room

2. Seal door opening

5. Don't panic, help is on the way

• Do not attempt to jump out of the building. Help will be on the way soon.

Reading is good and fun

1) The school gets the pupils to read every morning so that we can improve their knowledge and languages.
2) I like it because I do not have much time to read story books and magazines after school.
3) I like reading because I can learn interesting things and read humorous stories from books.
4) My favourite type of books are story books that contain lots of humour. My favourite magazine is the "Young Scientist".
5) Reading helps me to learn faster in my languages and in my Science.
6) Our teacher can bring us to the library to borrow more interesting books to read.
7) My favourite book is "The Enormous Crocodile" by Roald Dahl. The characters in this book are very lively and sometimes comical.

History of Singapore's Currency

Orchid series notes

In 1679, the Singapore Government issued its first series of notes - the Orchid Series. The orchids pictured on the orchid notes were chosen from their beauty and to show our country youthful freshness as a new nation. Prominent landmarks like the Istana, Empress Place and Singapore's public housing were featured on the back of the orchid notes.

Bird Series notes

In 1974, Singapore issued a new Bird series of currency notes. The Bird notes contained more security features to discourage the counterfeiters. Singapore's cultural, commercial and industrial activities were featured on the back of the Bird notes.

Ship Series Notes

Singapore issued its third series of currency notes in 1984. The series paid tribute to the merchant ships which made Singapore one of the world busiest ports. The Ship series portrayed the various vessels which had been plying the waters of Singapore from historic times till then. It started with the humble trading vessels of the early days and ended with the modern bulk carries. On the back of the notes were scenes showing Singapore's achievements in communication, housing, defence and port management.

Themes of portrait series

To honour the late President Yusof bin Ishak, the new series of currency notes featured his portrait as the main theme. Hence, the new notes are known as the portrait series. The design on each denomination also carries a different secondary theme linked to Yusof bin Ishak's life.
