~Clever nature~
Eggplants are purple,
Tomatoes are red,
Lettuce is green
With a big, lefy head.
Carrots are orange,
Potatoes are brown.
(To find them you have to dig down in the ground.)
Pumpkins are yellow.
Celery is white.
(It crunches and scrunches with each little bite.)
Nature, I think,
Must really be smart
To give us such colourful
Vegetable art!

Racial Harmony Commemoration in HWS on 20th July 2009
Racial Harmony Day serves to remind our pupils that social division costs us dearly and that race and religion are potential fault-lines in Singapore society. It is a day for schools to reflect on, and celebrate our success as a harmonious nation and society built on a rich diversity of cultures and heritages.
Singapore is a nation built by people from many races and cultures. Living in harmony is therefore important and relevant to all Singaporeans as it will ensure the continued peace and prosperity that we have enjoyed for many years.
Hong Wen School commemorated Racial Harmony Day on 20th July.

Our Pledge
Overview
The National Pledge embodies the ideals for building a united Singapore. It was written in August 1966 by Mr S. Rajaratnam, the then Minister for Foreign Affairs, shortly after Singapore's independence . He believed that language, race and religion were divisive factors, but the Pledge emphasises that these differences can be overcome if Singaporeans cared enough about their country. The draft text was handed to the then Prime Mini Mr Lee Kuan Yew, who refined it before submitting it to the Cabinet for approval.
History
The National Pledge was written in the mid-1960s in the aftermath of the racial riots that had affected communal harmony in Malaysia and Singapore. Rajaratnam believed that race, language and religion were the main factors contributing to the division of the people. In wording the Pledge he sought to bring across the message that these differences can be overcome if Singaporeans were committed to and caring enough for their country. The dream for Singapore is spelt out inthe ideals of the Pledge. It calls for a sense of nationhood to be fostered despite differences, and encourages all to bring reality to the dream of building a country which all Singaporeans could be proud of.
On 25 August 1966, about 500,000 students from 529 government and aided schools recited the National Pledge, the first time the Pledge was recited in schools. Led by teachers, the recital was done at the instruction of the Ministry of Education (MOE) which then said that pupils were to observe this ceremony with solemnity and respect, and to face the National Flag with their right hands raised.
From 27 June 1988 however, students have been reciting the Pledge with their right fists clenched to their chests, a change which according to MOE was to better reflect the emotional aspect of saying the Pledge. The Pledge has since been recited on occasions of national importance such as the National Day Parade.

Our PLEDGE Moment at 8.22pm on 9 August 2009
National Day is not just about the Parade. It is an occasion for Singaporeans to reflect upon the journey we have taken – our nationhood and collective aspirations. Our Pledge encapsulates these ideas.
As children, we recited our pledge in school assemblies, as do the children today. The wisdom captured in Our Pledge has a timeless quality that has stood the test of time as Singapore transformed over the years.
On this year's National Day, we want Singaporeans to reacquaint themselves with Our Pledge. In line with that, the NDP 09 theme, show and celebration activities are all anchored on the pledge.
PLEDGE MOMENT @ 8:22 PM.
At 8:22 pm on National Day, Singaporeans are invited to Come Together for the Pledge Moment.
You can choose to shout out the Pledge as you take it, hand on chest, or you can take the pledge silently while reflecting on the deep meaning behind it. We invite all Singaporeans to take 30 seconds of their time on 8:22 pm to recite Our Pledge together.
To achieve this, we have worked with our partners to send out the signal for the Pledge Moment. If you are already tuned in to the NDP Live Broadcast on Channel 5 or 8, on Channel NewsAsia International across the region, or if you are celebrating with your local community, the sights and sounds of the NDP would build up to the pledge. If you are listening to the radio, the DJs would invite you to take the pledge. If you are dining or shopping, selected restaurants and malls would also invite you to take the pledge. If you are taking an after dinner stroll in the park or playing street soccer, the SCDF chime would sound on our public warning system to signal this moment.
Whether you are with your friends or family, or just having a quiet moment alone, wherever you are, we invite you to take our pledge together at 8:22 pm.
This is our Pledge Moment.

Our class play - Lost At The Beach
One day, a little girl was lost at the beach. She shouted, “Mummy, Mummy! Where are you?”
She walked up and down the beach looking for her mum. She said, “I want my mum!”
Then, she saw a group of children building sandcastles. She thought her mum was there. She walked towards the children, looking right and left for her mum. She could not find her mum. She yelled, "Mummy, where did you go?”
Finally, she went to a group of children playing beach ball. She sobbed, “Have you seen my Mummy?” The children pointed to a lady sitting under an umbrella. The lost girl looked and saw her mum. She was very happy. She promised that she would not wander off on her own again.

National Day Celebrations - Class Activity
The next event coming up VERY soon is National Day Celebrations & we will be starting our first National Day Celebrations activity – My Dream for Singapore Project, today. The objective of this activity is to remind our pupils that even in tough times, we have the confidence as a people to reach up towards our dreams, and build a better Singapore. (ties in with the NE Message – We have confidence in our future.)
We believe that there is much to be proud of when we celebrate our nation’s independence. We hope that National Day 2009 will present us all with an opportunity to Come Together as one people, to Reach Out and support our fellow Singaporeans, and to continue to Reach Up towards our beliefs and aspirations.
Our theme for NDP 09, “Come Together – Reaching Out, Reaching Up” draws inspiration from our Pledge. It is about our coming together as ‘one united people’, to Reach Out to all Singaporeans regardless of ‘race, language or religion’, and to Reach Up towards our hopes and aspirations articulated when we pledge to ‘achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation.’ When times are tough, we know that Singaporeans will rally together, support each other and believe that things will work out fine.
We believe that there is much to be proud of when we celebrate our nation’s independence. We hope that National Day 2009 will present us all with an opportunity to Come Together as one people, to Reach Out and support our fellow Singaporeans, and to continue to Reach Up towards our beliefs and aspirations.
You are to write about your personal dream for Singapore on the cards and return them to me by tomorrow, Fri 24 July.

Pets by Ker Xin
Mr Lim loves animals. He has three dogs and two cats at home.
One day, he was on his way to the park. He heard a weak and soft mewing coming from a drain nearby. He was curious and he went to have a closer look. He was surprised to see a small kitten trapped in the drain.
He quickly jumped into the drain and rescued the kitten. It looked weak and was shivering. Mr Lim decided to bring it home.
"Now, I have three dogs and cats," Mr Lim said to himself.

Linda's Birthday by Yan Jun
Linda celebrated her birthday last week. She invited many friends to her house. Linda's mother invited a magician to perform at the party.
The children were excited when he arrived. He was wearing a black hat and a long black coat. He looked just like the magicians they had seen on television. The magician did many interesting tricks. "Wow!!!" said the children when he pulled a rabbit out of his hat.
"Terrific!!!" they shouted when he performed another trick. The magician performed one trick after another. Everyone had a great time. They were disappointed when the magic show ended.
The Honest Ghost by Charles
Peeky the ghost is very naughty but honest. There was once when Peeky saw somebody in a kitchen. Peeky’s white coat shimmered in the moonlight. He crept behind the person, took out his yellow-green coloured torchlight, pointed it at the wall and switched it on.
The person screamed in fright. Peeky, the ghost guffawed mischievously but nothing in the house, not even the cat standing in the garden heard or saw him.
The next day, Peeky saw a factory wall and there was a hole in the middle of it. Suddenly, a small red thing dropped out of the hole. First, Peeky went to the front of the factory and he saw the name of the factory “Mr. Maker – an MP3 making factory”. Then he went back to where he saw the hole, picked up that thing, went into the factory and saw a conveyor belt that held all the things that Peeky had in his hand. He put it back on the conveyor belt and instantly after he put it back, a worker standing nearby said “Thank you” to him. He was very happy on that day because it was the first time he had shown his honesty.
Peeky is still honest till today but sometimes he may be naughty. So watch out … he may be behind you NOW!
Dear Charles,
Thank you for your submission. It is indeed an interesting story.

Cooking by Ker Xin
Farizah's mother loved to bake. Since Hari Raya Puasa was approaching, her mother decided to bake a cake. Farizah loved to help her mother.
They went into the kitchen. First, her mother beat some eggs in a large bowl. She then added the flour, butter and sugar. They turned into a smooth mixture. Farizah stood on a stool watching her mother. Her mother asked,"Do you want to help?" Farizah replied, "Yes. But what can I do?" Her mother asked Farizah to help to pour some milk into a small bowl. She said,"I will need the milk for the cake mixture later."
Farizah was glad that she was able to help her mother.

A helpful classmate by Ker Xin
It was raining very heavily. Linda was on her way to school. She was wearing her raincoat and carrying an umbrella. Along the way, she saw Brenda using her school bag to shelter herself from the heavy rain. Brenda did not have an umbrella and she was getting wet. Linda shouted, ''Brenda, wait! I can share my umbrella with you.''
Brenda was very grateful to Linda for sharing her umbrella. When they arrived in school, Brenda went to the general office to change into a set of dry uniform. Brenda and Linda became best friends.

Latest Updates on Global Influenza A(H1N1-2009) as of 27th June 2009
Dear pupils,
I will be calling your parents to ask about your Travel history during the June holidays.
If your parents have not received the Travel Declaration Form and a letter sent by the school by tomorrow evening, please ask your parents to call me ASAP. (The soft copy is available at the school website at http://www.hongwen.moe.edu.sg/)
Some information that I need to gather from those who have travelled during the June holidays.
1) Which country did you visit?
2) When did you travel?
3) When did you arrive back in Singapore?
If you are unwell (if you have fever, sore throat,cough, runny nose, headache, etc) and has travelled to an affected country ( Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Dominican Republic, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States of America) and is not feeling well, “Please ask your parents to call 993 for medical assistance. You should also stay at home until you are fully recovered. Please do not go out e.g. shopping, for meals, take the MRT or socialize with others until the doctor tells you that you are well.”
If you have travelled to affected countries and arrived in Singapore on or after 22 Jun 09, you will be issued with an LOA (Leave of Absence) for the next 7 days from the date of return to Singapore. During this period, you will stay at home, and the school will make arrangement for you to catch up on your school work. You will monitor your health and update the school on a daily basis. Your parents may have to arrange for the Travel Declaration Form to be returned to the school, or bring it back after the LOA period.
Reminders:
(1) Parents / pupils who have not travelled to affected countries are to submit the Travel Declaration Form on the first day of school.
(2) You are to bring a working thermometer to school every day.
(3) You are to bring their Di Zi Gui for Pre-morning Assembly.

A tribute to all daddies...
Dear pupils,
It is Father's Day this Sunday, 21st June 2009. As Father's Day is around the corner, do take some time to reflect what your dad has done for you. Do take some time to leave some comments and tell me about your wonderful dad. I would love to know more about him. However, do remember that you should not be nice to your dad only on Father's Day. Always tell your dad how much you love him and thank him for all the love, care and concern. To all the daddies of the pupils in 1 Kindness, I wish you a very happy Father's Day.

Our P1 Activity Day 2009
Listening attentively to instructions =)
"Hmmmmm.....which one to choose?"
Good team effort!
"Are you reading the magazine instead of helping us to do the collage?"
On Thursday, 28th May 2009, we had our first P1 Activity Day. We were very excited as there will be no lessons but interesting games and activities for us. After the story-telling competition in the hall, we went back to class. Mdm Irni briefed us and reminded us to put on our best behaviour. She also told us to have fun. A parent volunteer, Aunty Germaine brought us to our stations as Mdm Irni was a station facilitator at Station 4.
First, we went to 1P classroom for 'Fishing time'! We had a lot of fun as we had to answer the Math questions and 'fished out' the correct answers. Then, we had a fantastic time playing at the multi purpose hall (MPH). After recess, the activities continued and we went to 1C classroom for a 'Nosey time'! We had to smell and guess. Following that, we went on to 1H classroom for an activity on ordinal numbers. Last but not least, we went back to 1K classroom for the last activity which was to do a collage on the map of Singapore.
During the last period, Mdm Irni gave us our homework for the June holidays and reminded us to read as often as we can and to remember to visit this blog too. We had a wonderful and enjoyable time.
