Entry 16:Influenza A H1N1

Influenza A H1N1 is a subtype of influenza A virus and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. It spreads the same way seasonal flu does: from person-to-person. It spreads mainly by coughing and sneezing by infected people and the touching of infected objects, then touching your nose or mouth. Argentina, Australia, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States of America are just some of the infected countries in Asia. For example, the Singapore government makes it compulsory for the students to take their temperature daily. Yes. We can check if our temperature has gone into the H1N1 zone. They made sure that clinics are H1N1 ready. I make sure that I cover my mouth and nose when I sneeze and cough.

Entry 17: Classroom Cleanliness

I do not think that our classroom is clean.When I sit on the floor,I notice that the gaps on the floor are clotted with dirt. It is to ensure that students will not slip if they step on rubbish on the floor. Our classroom has a roster system that ensures that everyone plays a part in keeping the classroom clean. I sweep the floor, clean the whiteboard and arrange the tables and chairs on Wednesday along with my other group members. I have learnt that everyone has to be socially responsible to ensure that the school has to be kept dirt-free. I have learnt self-discipline and a mindset for excellence.

Entry 21:Cyberwellness-Handling Inappropriate Content

I have not seen anything online that made me feel afraid,uncomfortable or feel excited yet guilty. My computer has a safety software called 'SafeSearch' that prevents any inappropriate contents to be revealed. If the content on the webpage is inappropriate,I will close the webpage.

Entry 20: Cyberwelless - Cyber Addiction

My favourite game is 'Boxhead'. I play computer games for half an hour. It does not affect my daily routine. We can develope a new sort of interest (eg. sports, board games, books etc.). I would ask him to create a time table which allocates a certain amount of time to games and study.

Entry 19: Effects of Preventive Measures on Pupils

I think that the school is very caring about our health otherwise they would not ask us to take our temperature twice a day. The activities that affected me is the cancellation of the CCA. It affected me because I wouldn't be able to learn new things. I do not think that school is less interesting now that the activities have resumed. My relationship with my friends have slightly weakened as they know that someone in my class has a confirmed case of H1N1 so they try to keep as far away from me as possible in case I was the person who had H1N1. I read storybooks when I have extra time. My activities outside school are not affected.
