International Peace Day

Hi 4 Charity,

I enjoyed the discussion we had on moral dilemmas. Life's decisions may not be easy and there are many times when we disgree with one another on issues that are close to our hearts. Though we may be different, we can and still need to respect one another's differences and decisions. Below are the website and video I showed you in class earlier.

Read, read, read!

Hi 4 Charity,

Your Oral Exam is on coming Wednesday and Thursday. Do practice your reading at home. Just pick up any newspaper article, storybook, textbook etc and "read away" :-)

Remember to take note of the following while reading:
(1) pronounce the end consonants such as "d", "t", "s" and "k"
(2) pause at commas and full-stops
(3) vary your tone i.e. read in such a manner that the person listening to your reading will not fall asleep

We'll continue with recording your reading and picture discussion next week. Have a good weekend!

Rainbow Connection

Hi 4 Charity,

Someone shared with me this song many years ago and I find it meaningful. Listen to the song and post a comment on the following:
(1) Do you think it's a sad or a happy song? Why?
(2) What do you think "Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide" mean?

If you need help in finding the meaning to the difficult words, you can make use of www.dictionary.com to help you.






Lyrics to "Rainbow Connection"

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Hi 4 Charity,
