This is how a Rafflesia looks like. This picture was taken while I was shopping in Genting Highlands during the holiday. The rafflesia in the picture is not a real one. It was there in the display for decorative purposes.

Composition - Chinese New Year Dinner (P2)
Today is eve of Chinese New Year. I am so excited to celebrate Chinese New Year with my family. I helped my mother to decorate the house and even went to the florist to buy some new plants to beautify the place.
While waiting for my relatives and friends to arrive, I helped my father to arrange the utensils and cutlery on the table. I was serving the dishes when I heard someone knocking on the door. I am so excited. I quickly ran to the door and help Grandma and Grandpa take the food that they had volunteered to bring and placed them on the table. I called my family members to the table quickly.
Soon, we were having our dinner. We had a happy renioun dinner.

Composition - A Fire at the Shopping Centre (P5)
The building was blazing. Thick volume of smoke could be seen raising towards the sky. The temperature was high and people around were hot and sweating with cold fear. Many people were running out of the building hastily. They were pale looking, some had tears on their faces. Nobody knew how the fire had started.
Firefighers and the police soon arrived at the scene. The policeman quickly cordoned off the entrance of the building and evacuated the people They also prevented the passers-by from getting near it. They also assisted the people who had escaped to get help from the paramedics. The firefighters, dressed in their well-geared uniform, entered the building to help the people who were trapped inside.
"My baby is still inside. Please help me get him. He is in the lady's toilet on the second floor," a mother was sobbing uncontrollably.
While one of the paramedics consoled her, the brave firefighters went into the building to search for her missing son. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion. Glass from the windows shattered and injured many more people. Everyone who was outside the building was shocked and worried. Silence was thick in the air. However, this did not stop the police and paramedics from carrying out their tasks efficiently. Soon, the cries of a baby could be heard. The firefighters had rescued the baby. He was safe and sound. The mother was happy beyond words. She thanked the firefighters profusely. Everyone clapped and cheered for the firefighters.
Finally, the fire was put out. There were many casualties, but none of them were seriously hurt. No one was killed in the incident due to the quick response from the police and the firefighters. The cause of the fire was the result of the carelessness of the kitchen staff in one of the resturants. The staff was sorry for the incident and promised to be more careful in the future.

Living and Non-Living Things (2008)
Things can be easily grouped into living things and non-living things.
To decide whether something is living or non-living, we observe its characteristics.
1. Living things need air, water and food to survive. Without air, food and water, living things will die.
2. Living things can grow. As a living thing grows, it may increase in height (grow taller), increase in size (grow fatter) and change in appearance (seedling becomes a tree).
3. Living things can move by themselves. They move to look for water, food, shelter and mate. They also move to escape from danger.
4. Living things respond to changes. (Mimosa plants will close their leaves when touched. Children fan themselves when they are hot.)
5. Living things reproduce to ensure that their own kind exist.

Classifying Things (2008)
Classification is putting things into groups.
We classify things so that things are in order.
We can classify things based on their characteristic (Shape, size, colour and use are some examples) and purpose. (Remember we went to the field and we group ourselves in different ways, males and females, wear glasses, month of birth, etc)
When we classify things, we look at the similarities and differences in their characteristics.
Tables and diagrams can be used to show classification.
Can you guess how I classify the following things?
A. Group 1: chili, carrot, tomato Group 2: cucumber, spinach, cai xin
B. Group 1: Yong Xin, Jun Yu, Marcus Group 2: Sherrie, Tong Tong, Eliane
C. Group 1: table, chair, whiteboard Group 2: flowers, lampost, grass
D. Group 1: chicken, pork, mutton Group 2: apple, grapes, watermelon
E. Group 1: plants, animals Group 2: vehicles, stationery
