Term 2 Updates

Term 2 is over!

RSVP is glad to announce that the winners this term for recycling newspapers are the Primary 3 and 5. Together they recycled a total of 179kg of paper while the Primary 4 and 6 recycled 149kg of paper.

Also Bukit Timah Primary pupils were diligent about recycling the drink cartons - we are pleased that they followed our instructions and almost every Friday, our 2 bins for Tetra Paks are full! Imagine that before this term, these cartons added to our landfills!

Next term, we will have 2 additional bins for plastic bottles and aluminium cans! We cherish every effort from all of you as you help keep our beloved school clean and save resources!

A RSVP leader's experience...

First, I would like to thank all of those who helped out at the booth on Earth Day, and many apologies for posting this late reflection!

When Mrs Chien first annouced that I would be working with HuiHao for the quiz booth, I had a mixture of excitment, joy and shock shooting directly at my brain.

What we had to do was prepare some powerpoint slides with questions relating to Earth. Later, we had to transfer the questions into this mind-boggling system. HuiHao and I had to edit the questions over and over again to make sure that there were no mistakes in the questions.

Finally it was Earth Day. We had to rush to the library at 8:30am and prepare the makeshift borders out of chairs and prepare the tables. At 9:30am, a few pupils stuck their heads in to see what was happening. But the best thing was that the response was crazy! Soon, the libary was a sea of bobbing black dots and was filled with mindless chatter!

After this, we all felt extremely good with ourselves as we had met with our expectations. And most of all, I would like to thank Mrs Chien and Miss Chitra for their patience and for those green, cute frogs!

I Am One of The RSVP Members

At the time when Mrs Chien said that RSVP existed, I was already excited about it.

Many people in different clusters worked very hard for the BIG DAY !! I was in the quiz booth with Guan Jie.We learnt how to activate the remote controllers and decorated the library a bit. We spent a few hours choosing and putting the quiz questions on Power Point slides.

Then we edited over and over again.

When the big day come, we were actually not really well prepared as we JUST learned how the controllers are activated. When it was recess time, I got really EXCITED !!

Results were OVERWHELMING.. Many people participated.. ( until there were too many people). I was so tired but I could really feel the sense of achievement that we HAD made it for 2 days !!

For me... I think that we did not do it for the reward - it is for the sense of great satisfaction. I did it for the smiles and the excitement that many of our schoolmates had when they came for our quiz.

I hope that BTPS has more of this kind of fun activities for us. And, without those helpful team-mates, I would not have been successful in this quiz.. If not for the team work and efforts we put in, we would not have succeeded !!

Thanks a lot to our team, Ms Chitra... and... Mrs Chien for this RSVP club and the cute froggies !
