Beijing Olympic Buildings

I guess by now you would know which are the 2 most prominent and well-known buildings in the Beijing Olympic Games. That would be the Beijing Olympic Stadium also known as the "Bird's Nest" as well as the "Water Cube" which house the National Swim Centre.

I'm awed by both structures. The design that goes into the Bird's Nest. I wonder if the engineers went crossed eyes with all those beams and columns that weave in and out in all sorts of directions. Also, the Water Cube being able to change colours. Do you know that the changing lights are actually LED lights?

Here are 2 videos to share. One shows the changing lights of the Water Cube and the other shows the day of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. I really wished I was there to see these 2 magnificent buildings!

Olympic Fever

Judging from the chatbox, I think many of us are suffering from the "Olympic Fever". The opening ceremony was still very fresh in my mind, even until now. It was really spectacular and I was amazed at the number of people that were involved. I wished I was there myself to admire the fireworks. With that amount of fireworks, I think it can light up the whole Singapore night sky.

It was just a day after that that we had our national parade. Yes, I'm sure many of us think that it was not as exciting as the Olympic opening ceremony but the Olympics in China took 7+ years to prepare while ours only took less than a year. So, we should be proud of ourselves too! =)

I love watching the diving, swimming, volleyball and gymnastics.

So, besides preparing for your CA2, can relax by watching some of your favourite sports in the Olympic games! =)

National Day Celebrations (part 2)

I hope all of you had fun during our National Day celebrations. It sure was fun cheering for Bing Hong for the BYD competition. Again I must say it's a class effort, with a few contributing props while the rest chip in by cheering =)

Here are some photos to bring back the good memories. I may not have captured everyone of you since some of you were involved in performances, especially the scouts and choir members.

National Day Celebrations

I'm sure all of you are looking forward to the long weekend. Please remember to not only enjoy yourselves but also revise your work for CA2. I'm sure you don't need me nagging at you since you will have your parents doing that =)

Tomorrow will be quite an exciting day as we have a concert to enjoy and also there's the Be Yourself Day Competition where our Bing Hong will be appearing as an architect! Let's cheer for him tomorrow!

Meantime, do remember to complete the homework I've given out today.
1) English Comprehension Worksheet 4
2) Energy and Interactions process skill booklets

It's the time of the term again

It's time again to prepare ourselves for the upcoming examination, beginning with English and Chinese composition writing next week.

I hope you will all focus and motivate yourselves to work towards your goals. =)

Happy studying!
