Task 1(Refined): Term 3 week 1: Shaun



Student-Teacher Relationship

            How important is the student teacher relationship in a school?  Children spend approximately 5 to 7 hours a day with a teacher for almost 10 months. All of us have gone through schooling, and if fortunate had a favourite teacher. A positive relationship between the student and the teacher may seem hard to establish for some of us, but it can be done. Once the relationship between the teacher and the students is good, the students’ learning experience would become more enjoyable and profitable at the same time. Both the teacher and student should have good communication and respect. The teacher also has to show interest in teaching while the student should have a good learning attitude in order to establish a positive relationship in the classroom. Therefore, we should try to establish good relationships with our teachers and do our part as a student. It will benefit our learning in school and help us to excel faster and better.

Task 1 (Refined): Term 3 Week 1; Grace Tan





SST is a very unique. It has a good reputation and this is quite reflective in the classroom in terms of discipline, and thus the class of 25 is usually managed very well. Students understand what is expected out of them in the classroom. We have a habit to greet every teacher with a small bow when we encounter one.  We are mostly well-behaved and are very respectful.


However there are times when the teachers leave the room, we become a little rowdy. Some teachers do find our class rather challenging.


To discourage bad behaviour, we have a Character Education (CE) Programme that aims to nurture the young ladies and gentlemen at SST into individuals who possess the moral courage to do the right things and make the right decisions in life.  The teachers also teaches us to have a right attitude and good behaviour, so not to tarnish the school reputation and this also allows us to bond with our classmates.


If there is any behaviour or discipline issues, most of our teachers would talk to the student after school and require the student to complete an incident report so to reflect upon what they have done. For severe or repeated cases, detention and even suspension may be employed to deter students from misbehaving.



In conclusion, the school and parents have certain degree of influence over us however it is us that have to make the final decision and effort to be AWESOME!


Thanks.
Grace.

Task 2: Term 3 Week 1; Kai Jie

Applied Research

It is a form of systematic inquiry involving the practical application of science. It accesses and uses some part of the research communities' accumulated theories, knowledge, methods, and techniques, and often applied in the real world.



How its important 


It is important as it expands our horizon, allowing us to be able to look further into the future. Hence, when we grow older, topics discussed during applied research can be used to solve real world issues.




Thank You.

Task 2: Term 3 Week 1: Shaun


Applied research - The practical application of something that you learn. You use knowledge, methods,  and techniques in the real world and see it for yourselves instead of just learning the theory.

How it is important to me as a student - It allows me to understand what I am learning better and learn how to tie what I learned together with the real world.
