Following last week's topic on 'target setting, we will reflect on passion for learning this week. 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 assist you in writing your reflection, I have listed some questions for you to ponder:
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?
Hope you will start writing soon.
Regards,
Mr Ng

A brief introduction of myself
Dear Class,
To kick start our own blog, I would like you to share a bit more about myself. I love to go jogging in the nearby Bishan Park and Mac-ritchie reserviours. I love to watch movies as well as collect good movie DVDs. Sometimes I play some computer games as well. I am a lover of steaks, especially when they are cooked 'medium rare'. I am also a sashimi lover. I would like to go to New Zealand or Austrialia during the holidays.
Now that I have shared about myself, it is good to hear from you too! Please let me know what your hobbies are, your favourite foods and places that you like to visit. Is there also any interesting things about yourself, which you would like your classmates to know?
