Week 3 reflection

Sherwin Chan (28)

This week my group has decided that we help the school to reduce the problem of littering in the canteen. We have also decided that we increase the recycling for the school. I have also uploaded questions in the group blog for my group mates to answer. These guiding question can help them think more ideas.

These are my answers for the guiding question.

1) We can help maris stella about the littering problem by putting rubbish bins around the school corridor.

2) We decided that our end product will be different bins for rubbish and designs in the rubbish so that we can attract more students to throw their rubbish in the correct place and not liiter the school.

3) We can tell the students about recycling by putting posters in the corridor and tell them about the facts of recycling, the facts about the earth's global warming. We can also encourage the student by giving some money for a certain number cans recycled. We can also make class visit and tell them about the facts about global warming or we can make some activities for them to participate.

Week 3; Reflection

This week lesson was quite interesting as Ms. Tan helped us very much in our project. She told us about many interesting facts like the recycling machine at the botanical gardens and how we could place it. We found out that the positions of the recycling bin are very important as it affects the number of rubbish we would have collected and would affect the amount of items recycled.

To improve Maris Stella's littering problem, I believe that students would be more aware about it if we publicise about it. We could have posters around the school. If possible, we may even announce about littering problems during assembly and tell students to be aware about the surrounding cleanliness. In this case, littering and rubish would decrease and this would save the effort and time for the school cleaners. (:

I would actually want the end product for the project to be litter-free in school. By which, we have to have posters. I would actually suggest making some recycling bin as it could help recycling problems in our school. In my opinion, our school is deprived of an important stuff, recycling. Recycling could help save the earth and the idea of teaching students about recycling starts when they are young. Although, now, we are not young already. But, I still think that the idea would still work.

Reflection 3

Lin Jun Jie (25) 2B

This week my group has decided on which topic we are doing on, we decided to help the school with the litter problem, our teacher Ms Tan told us that the positions of the rubbish bins in school is important and we must also do something to encourage the other pupils in throwing their rubbish into the rubbish bins.

I feels that the placing of the rubbish bins is very important, like we could put rubbish bins near the tk low hall as their is no rubbish bins at all and we could also put some outside the toilets so that when pupils finish using their tissue for business they could throw the wrapper into the bins.

I wanted the end product to be something creative that will attract people to use them. The product must also have different spaces for different rubbish, like one space for plastics and the other for papers something like this.

We could also draw posters to tell others the good points of recycling and keeping the school clean and we could reward any student who throws rubbish inside the bin, like 100 gram of rubbish will be rewarded with 10 cents or something like this to encourage pupils to throw their rubbish into the bins instead of on the floor.

Guiding Questions

Sherwin

Jun Jie, Wei Xuan and Weiyi. I will be be posting some questions and pls answer them while you are doing your reflection.

1) How can we help to improve the littering problem of Maris Stella?

2) What do you want the end product of the project to be?

3) How do you tell the students about recycling?

Week 2 Reflection

After the discussion from week 1's lesson, we came to a product, Solar Energy and wanted to research further on it. However, Ms Tan Ching Sing gave us some advice and told us that it would be hard to get materials and if we could get the materials, it would costly.

Therefore, we discussed again and came up with a new topic, Recycling in School. We found out that the school's recycling system is not really well-organised. Therefore, we wish to recycle the thrash that we can find commonly in the rubbish bins around us. We decided that we could make use of them and create wonderful products easily without wasting the natural resources around us.

I feel that the group is finally well co-ordinated now and can work together greatly and come up with a new relevant topic easily, though sometimes with positive arguments regarding the topic.
This project is going to be sticking with us till almost the end of Secondary 2 so I really hope my group can do well and come up with a wonderful product that could amuse everyone.

Week 1 Reflection

On that day, everything was very messy and I didn't really get to understand what we were suppose to do for the lesson. However, after many guidance from our teacher-in-charge, Ms Tan Ching Sing, I finally got to understand the objective of that lesson and the aim of the project. We chose our group leader at the lesson and shared with each other our ideas and thoughts. It was fun and it was an eye-opener as my teammates gave many interesting ideas that I would never have thought of.

Week 2 reflection

We had our second GRACE lesson with Ms Tan Ching Song and we discussed our topic to be how to help Maris Stella's school canteen the problem of littering and recycling. We Marist Earth Warriors know that the school canteen has a very serious problem. Which is why we want to help the school canteen. The end product of our group is still in discussion.

Week 2 Reflection

This week, my group has been discussing on what topic we should do for the GRACE. However, we still have not picked a topic yet. Ms Tan Ching Sing gave us some brief ideas on what we could do on our project, so now we have an idea of what to do.

Week 1 reflecction

Weiyi (27)

I feel that there is not enough time to do what was required this lesson as it took time to go to the place and for the teacher to explain the lesson to us and by that time there was only about 10mins to discuss the roles of the group members

Reflection 2

My group has been trying to figure out on what topic we must do for the GRACE and our answers are always very vague. Some of them is vague to the point that we, ourselves does not understand what we are doing. This causes our ideas to go out of point and very messy. When we are out of track our teacher, Ms Tan Ching Sing will give us some brief ideas on what we could do on our project, but of course we cannot use what she had already said but that help us to get on the right track instead of saying wild ideas that will never success. As for now we are still thinking on the topic.

Reflection 1

This week my group has decided on the leader, and the group member who is in charge of the blog.We had decided on that Sherwin is the leader and Wei Xuan as the one who is in charge of the blog,when deciding on the roles, we had some quarrel as no one wants to be the leader because we are not confident enough to take care of the group, but in the end we decided on Sherwin as he is the most hardworking one in the group. We decided Wei Xuan as the blogger because he is the only one that knows most about blogging.

Reminder

Just a reminder. Jun Jie, Wei Xuan and Wei Yi. Pls update the blog by putting your reflection
