hello.

Welcome to our blog:D

Welcome to our group blog, elmo and cookiemonster. The URL is set according to our group name. We have chosen this name because all of us like elmo and cookiemonster and so that we can become good friends like elmo and cookiemonster. Oopps…I have forgotten to introduce you to our group members. Firstly the leader, Loo Lyekit(14), followed by Kohqing(7), Audrey Koo(8), Brenda Lee(9),Vanessa Quek(15) and lastly Orica Tan(17). All of us voted Lyekit to be the leader as we think that she is responsible. She also takes the initiative to organize a meeting and comes up with good ideas everytime.
Actually, there are also reasons for choosing this blogskin. There are 4 trees on top of the blog which represents the 4 seasons - spring, summer, autumn and winter. The green colour of the trees also reminds us to go green by preventing deforestation and pollution to the atmosphere. After reading this blog, we hope you will play a part in saving the Earth too.
Thank you for viewing our blog!

The difficulties I faced in this project are, nervousness, lack of confidence and perseverance. Most of the times our group has to go up to the front of the class to present something, fila chart, brochure, etc. We also need to think about lots of ideas and how we are going to express it. Sometimes, the teachers will ask us to redo our projects and it costs a lot of time and effort to do it again. So, some of our group members may feel like all their efforts will be wasted but then the encourager in our group will comfort and encourage us to do our best. So far, we have completed most of our work except the fila chart.

Difficulties during the process

2008-08-06T05:28:00.000-07:00

I had encountered several difficulties during the process of project work such as nervousness, lack of ideas and patience. I was nervous when I was asked by my group members to be the speaker of the clips.
I made silly mistakes in the wording and it took a while for me to speak to perfection. I thank my project work members for being so kind and understanding. They empathised with me and encouraged me to be calm and patient. Not only that, they did not snap at me with annoyance but praised me when I had, at last, not stuttered or twisted the wording.
When we were thinking of ideas on how to save energy and water bills, I could only come out with some while the others had written out several ideas that I had not thought of before. I was amazed at their thinking and silently idolized them as great thinkers and wanted to have a wider variety of ideas like them.
Impatience was what I had experienced greatly during the process. I was very much impatient at myself for being so nervous about the clip and stuttering, twisting the meaning of the clip. I had thought of myself as someone who was slowing down the process of our project work and wasting the precious time of others.
My group members were sympathetic and helped me with my mistakes with patience. I realised that the process of project work was not as hard as I had initially thought and I had also learnt many things from my members. They taught me that haste makes waste, and we should spend more time on things than rushing through them and in the end, getting them all wrong.
The time spent on this project has not been wasted, but instead, I have learnt valuable lessons from the process which cannot be learnt in school.

summary
All in all, I had encountered several difficulties like nervousness, lack of ideas and patience. My group members and I overcomed them easily when we co-operated with one another and listened to each others' ideas. I am grateful to them for being so patient and understanding with me. I have also learnt the real meaning of teamwork with them.

What happens if we do not save the Earth now?

2008-07-06T22:02:00.000-07:00

This project is all about Earth, and the 3 Rs -Reuse, Reduce, Recycle.
If we do not practice the 3 Rs, there will be global warming and green house effect.
When this project was first introduced to us, we thought that it would be very dull and boring, but on second thoughts, we would be doing something for Mother Nature.
As nature is our beginnings, we should strive to keep nature the way it was before and let our descendants experience the beauty of nature.
Saving water and energy can help to prevent wastage to the environment.
If we do not do something to help the Earth now,
global temperature will cause sea level to rise and change local climate conditions,
affecting forest, crop yields, and water supplies.
If the sea level rises, floods may occurs and the countries will face food shortage since the crops will die and their properties will be destroyed, causing many people to be homeless.
If the floods are too serious, it will cause casualties and area of land will decrease.
It may also affect human and animals' health and many type of ecosystems.
Deserts may expand and some of our countryside may be permanently changed.
The lands will not be the same and people will find it hard to adapt to the new enviroment thus, causing inconvenience to people.
Animals may also die due to the change in surroundings as they cannot find enough food to sustain themselves.
