Latest on H1N1
Dear Students,
I hope you are all well. Have you been following the H1N1 situation?
By now, your parents should have received an email from school. As required by MOE, your parents have to update the school of your travel activities. Even if you have not travelled anywhere, you also have to update the school. Please ask your parents to read their email and check the school website and do the necessary action as required.
This is pretty urgent. Please help me to pass the word around.
Thank you. Keep healthy.

Discussion on Presentations on Ancient Greece
Hi Everybody,
Now that we have gone through all the presentations on ancient Greece, I would like us to discuss some issues on our blog. Please read the following carefully and answer accordingly.
Reflection 1
Tell me ONE thing you have learnt through the presentations or through your own research.
Reflection 2
Ancient Greece was a very patriarchal society.
Having learnt more about the ancient Greeks, do you think this was acceptable at THAT time or do you think the Greeks could have done more to elevate the status of women?
Do reflect and consider your words carefully before writing them down.
Do not write any sexist remarks if you do not have the facts to back your points.

Response to 1st Posting
Dear 2009 Pupils (& 1 ex-pupil),
Thank you for your responses. They are mostly accurate. However, in future, I need you to respond faster and not after I have discussed the topic in class.
I have removed one particular response as I felt that it may lead to misunderstanding. We must be clear about the fact that myths are stories that have been passed from generation to generation. They are stories that help the people of that time to understand natural phenomenon or perhaps to explain things that they may not have had a clear understanding about.
Myths also help us to discover more about the culture and life of the people in the countries from which the stories originate. It may also reveal to us their beliefs. However, it is not to be confused with any religion. To do so would be confusing to believers and may result in misunderstanding. Please be very careful about that.
Our school does not encourage our pupils to read anything that is damaging to a religion or is not teaching the right values and thus I urge pupils to be more selective with the books they read.
I end on that note. Please spend more time and thought before writing your comments in future. Remember the world is reading what you are writing. There MUST be greater responsibility on your part!
Mrs Simon
P/S Look out for 2nd Posting which is coming soon!

MYTHS AND MYTHOLOGY
Dear 2009 Pupils,
I am reviving my blog for us to have more out-of-class interactions on the above topic. I thought this would be a good platform for me to share materials with you if I cannot do so within curriculum time.
You can post if you have anything you think is relevant to the current discussion or topic.
Dear Ex-Pupils,
If you are reading this, you are free to join our discussions or to add anything you think is of relevance. Same rules apply concerning postings - proper English and no vulgarities or the like. I trust you.
Love,
Mrs Simon
