T1 W7 & 8 Journal Writing : Fruittie Veggie Programme

Hi Everyone,
We know that eating fruit and vegetables is good for our body. In fact, there are some people who are vegetarians i.e they only eat vegetables and fruit. Doctors have always advocated the eating of fruit and vegetables for their patients and the general public. However, some pupils do not like to eat them. There are many reasons for their dislike.

For this journal writing, I would like you to reflect on the Fruittie Veggie Programme that was launched in our school recently. To help you with your reflection, I have listed some questions below:
1. Did you bring fruit to school on Fruittie days? If 'yes', what fruit did you bring? If 'no', why are you not bringing it?
2. Do you like to eat fruit and vegetables? Why?
3. Why is it important to eat fruit and vegetables?
4. Can you find out from the internet or books ONE fruit or vegetable that you like to eat. Tell us how important it is for our health.
5. How can we encourage more children to eat fruit and vegetables?

I hope you will start writing immediately. I am eagerly looking forward to reading your reflection.

Hi Everyone,
We know that fire is very useful to man. It keeps us warm and helps us cook our food. However, when we lose control of fire, it will destroy humans, houses and everything that is in its way.

To help you, I have listed some questions below:
1. What do some children do when they play with fire?
2. Where do they often play with fire?
3. Why do they play with fire?
4. What would you do if you see a fire in your house or outside?
5. How can you prevent fire from starting in your house or outside?
6. Do you think your house is protected from fire? If 'Yes', what are the safety features you have in your house. If 'No', what can you and your family do to protect yourselves from fire?
