For this week I would like to tell about all the events that happened throughout the week especially in the class. There were many exciting events happened in the class. For Economics lesson, this week my friends and I have done a presentation. Our presentation was that we want to invest RM2.5 million in Agricultural Industry. After almost five minutes presenting our project, at the end of the presentation, we were tortured with tonnes of unpredictable questions from our classmates. For example ‘do you think that this project is going to succeed?’. But the funniest part of all was when one of our group members tried to explain about ‘DESERT GOAT’. Besides that, we also learned about demand and supply graphs as well as substitute and complementary goods like apple and pear, petrol and car and also someone said CURRY AND POTATO………

For our Physics lesson, it was exciting as we did some experiments in the lab.This was the first time we entered the Physics lab and someone got lost when she was trying to find the lab. The first experiment we did in the lab is about measurement. We were given some apparatus like Vernier Calipers and Micrometer Screw Gauge to measure the diameters of a marble, a pendulum bob, a thin copper wire and a half-meter ruler. Even though it sounds very easy to do the experiment, it is harder than I expected because we have to repeat the same steps to get accurate measurements. The second experiment is about the properties of waves. Each group was given a Slinky spring to carry out the experiment.

Like our Physics lesson, our English lesson for this week was also exciting as we played a game called the ‘Selfish’ game. It was an interesting game because we have to think of a character in the novel ‘Boy Tales of Childhood’ and at the same time we were only given the characteristics of the character by our classmates and we had to guess the character who had those characteristics. By doing so, it helps us to memorize the characters in the novel. We also had a ‘Theatre Performance’ by our naturally-talented actors who acted like the characters in the chapter ‘Goat’s tobacco’ in the novel. It was very funny, as funny as ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ especially to watch the manly-lover screamed after he realized that he has been smoking goat’s tobacco made by Roald Dahl by putting goat’s droppings into the pipe.

For the Chemistry lesson, there is nothing much to write in this blog because we learned in the class as usual. This week our Chemistry teacher taught us about solutions and solubility. She taught us that ‘like dissolves like’ which means that polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents while non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. It is like an idiom ‘birds of a feather flock together’.And last but not least, for our Mathematics lesson, we were served with tonnes of questions on Matrices to improve our understanding on this chapter.

Therefore, in conclusion all the events that happened within this week were very interesting, challenging and exciting. Not to forget, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the Chinese a very happy and prosperous Chinese New Year. Thank you.
