Communication

Questions:


1. Why is communication important?

2. What is/are your favourite forms of communication? Why?

3. How do you decide which form of communication to use in a situation?

4. What difficulties do you face in communicating with others?


Answers:

1. If we do not communicate, may loose out on our business or work. Communication may also warn us about dangerous stuff for example, the traffic lights tells us when to stop, go and slow down.
2. I prefer talking to other kind of communication. Most of the people in the world now understands English, a language that I speak most. So if I were to do business, I would rather talk English as most will understand me.
3. For example, if we do not want anyone to hear us we would usually use sign language or whisper to one another. So we always choose which suits the scenario best.
4. I Find that when I talk to someone mute and deaf, it would be a challenge because I am not used ti sign language, so it might be a great challenge. I've also experience talking to some children in Cambodia, when I went for my ICIP Programme, and I found that it was super challenging.

Day 2: Tower Building

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

Reflection Questions

1.
What have you done today?
2.What have you learnt today?
3.Why did you choose to come to SST?
4.What are your aspirations as a member of the SST family?
5.How have you grown from the activities conducted today? Use one of the pictures from the PICASA album which best illustrates your growth (especially in relation to the 3Rs).

Reflection Answers

1. I did the 3 SST cheers, did some activities on the learning devices and did some icebreakers to know more about my friends.
2. I learnt the 3 SST cheers from the seniors, learnt how to access the school's network, how to post on my class's blog and learnt a very important aspect in SST, the 3Rs of SST.
3. I am very interested in SST because I love Science even though I am not very good in it. I also love robots and IT stuff. I also didn't choose other good school because I will only be part of history but if I attend SST I will be the one creating history for SST.
4. I would want to make history for SST so it would become a known school for years to come.
5. I have made more friends and became more brave in my new school. One example is daring to cheer in front of the Secondary One Students. Now I should be responsible for what I have now.

This is how to get to SST from my home.
GoggleMaps is very efficient because they will tell us if we have to pay gantries and give us a lot of routes to choose from so we can plan our route in advance. The information given by GoogleMaps are very useful and efficient for it even tell us traffic conditions and duration to arrive at our destination. So we know approximately when I have to leave home in order not to be late for school.
