Wk 6; Reflection :D

This week lesson was on survey question. My duty was to write out the questions and I've already did it however, Miss Tan told me to group the questions. Also, I could also have some multiple choice questions as majority of the people out there would choose multiple choice to open ended questions. Although multiple choice are easier, but, there is still a need for open-ended questions as we need to know the people's opinion and thoughts.

We are also suppose to ask Mr Kwok and the school cleaners about some questions! It is absolutely tough! What if they scold us? What if we cannot find them? Ha, am I being too paranoid? :p

Ms Tan gave us some advice too though. She told us that there is a different school cleaner on every different levels of the school. Hope we can find them asap! :D

Anyways, I think everything would be done in around a month. Hope everything works out successfully. Hope everyone would take their time and effort to do their survey. (:

Week 6 reflection

This week we had our 6th GRACE lesson. Ms Tan just gave us even more advise on how to do the project. We have decided that our survey questions will al be multiple choice questions. We chose it to be multiple choice as people prefer to choose answers than think of answers. To get the full effect of the survey, we decided to make the students life easier. Wei yi and i will help to brainstorm about the notice board that we decided to make. Jun Jie have taken the picture of the canteen rubbish before school and during recess, but he will be taking even more pictures after and before school.

Reflection 6

Today we have done what we are suppose to do for the previous weeks, and out teacher had seen our progress as well as give us some tips on our work. We are suppose to improve our works for the next few weeks as well as interview peoples about our school problems. My job for the time being is to take pictures after the school in the canteen to see the school littering problems. I will take pictures before school, after recess, after school and also at about 3pm in the afternoon to compare the litter problems. I also need to take pictures in the rubbish bins to see how we can separate the litters in the bins to help the school litter problems.

Week 4 reflection

This week we have finished our proposal for our plan. We intend to interview some of the staff to find out some things such as how many garbage bags the school uses each day, and how many dustbins there are in the whole school. We also need to find ideas of hwo to design posters to encourage the students to use the dustbins instead of just throwing it on the floor. I hope that this situation can be resolved soon.

For this week's lesson, Ms Tan told us many informations about recycling again. She also told us to research on many countries regarding recycling. Our group leader, Sherwin also made up a group proposal for us. I think the group proposal helps alot as it make our work more organised.

I researched on the topic of recycling and found out that Taiwan starts teaching children recycling since young. It's great seeing students getting involved in recycling at such an early age. It's even better seeing that their country's government is taking the lead and providing them with a system that allows and encourages them to recycle everything. It is even better seeing them being so enthusiastic and taking pride in their work. I think that we should also provide opportunities for all our students in Maris Stella and even island-wide, in Singapore to teach students about recycling and environmental issues. We should get everyone to start doing this greenjobs and make Singapore a clean and green country.

I've also researched world-wide famous for recycling country, Japan. They uses different signs to differentiate the material of the object to recycle and I think that this would make life easier for all of us. Maybe, we could also make bottles with different signs imprinted on them to make life easier for all of us and make us think that recycling is not a chore. Maybe, we could even make it a hobby for everyone!

Our group are still finding time to interview the school admin-workers as our schedule clash and we find it hard to find the school admin-workers as many of them are scattered all around the school. Also, some of them speaks different language from us and it is difficult to communicate with them. However, this would be settled soon :D

Reflection 4

Lin Jun Jie(25) 2B

This week we had finished our proposal for our plan and we plan out some question that will both help us improve our work as well as to see of our plan will work. We must do some interviews as well as some searchings in order to find them out but the timings is very difficult to plan because everyone has their tuitions as well as life-science and some outdoor learnings so the planning for the interview might be postponed to the next week in order to carry out. We also need to think out of various ways to encourage students to throw their rubbish into the bins and some might not work so this is quiet a problem but others are doing quiet fine.

Week 4 reflection

Week 3 Reflection

Ong Weiyi(27)

This week lesson was rather interesting as Ms. Tan helped us in our project. As a result, we managed to do quite alot.

To improve Maris Stella's littering problem, I believe we should publicise about it such as We putting posters around the school or announcing about littering problems during assembly to decrease the workload of the cleaners.

I hope that this project will be a succcess as that would make Maris Stella cleaner and thus a more conducive environment to work in.
