Communication

1 Why is communication important?
Communication is important in our lives because it helps us to understand what other people is thinking about and what others want to tell others about. Without communication, we cannot warn others about danger, cannot do things together as a team, inform others about something etc.

2 What is/are your favourite form/s of communication? Why?
My favourite form of communication is speech and tele-communication.

3 How do you decide which form of communication to use in a situation?
I decide the form of communication depending on the situation. For example, if I have an urgent message to tell someone, I would call them rather than to send messages to them. This way, they would receive the message immediately because he was there to pick up the call. If I send a message, he might not read it immediately.

4 What difficulties do you face in communicating with others?
Sometimes, when communicating with others, we might tell someone else the wrong information, which was passed on to you earlier.

What are the three main points (or more) that you had learnt from all the activities?
I had learnt that we must have teamwork for us to achieve our goals; communication is important between the team members and the leader so that we can have things done in the right order; knowing the main goal is important so that we would know what that we need to achieve.

How can this pointers be of help to you?
It helps me to understand the needs of a team for the team to achieve their goals.

If you were to have another chance to try the activities, which one will you chose? Why?
If I would have anther chance to try all the activites, I would chose the telematch. The telematch is a fun and interesting game where the team needs alot of teamwork and communication. I hope that with the influence of this game, we would learn to cooperate with one another for future activities.

If there is one thing that you would like to change about yourself, what would it be?
I would like to be a better follower of the leaders so that the leader would have a easier job of leading the class towards its goals.

What do you understand about the school value "Expanding Our Learning Networks"?

I understand that we should not only learn in the school, but we should go beyond our boundaries, and learn from almost everywhere around the globe.

Why is this value important and how will it help you in your learning experience in SST?


It convince me that learning does not only happen in the school, but it can happen any where, in any situations and with a device rather than a printed book.

Building Bridge-Personal Reflection

How do you feel about working in a team on the bridge-building project?
I felt that it was that it was a good opportunity for us to make new friends on the first day of school.

What do you think about your interactions with the members in your team?
I thought that we interacted really well and we were patient to consider each of our teammates' idea.

What have you learnt about yourself in the course of the activity and what will you do differently in future team activities?
I have learnt that I could be slaggy when I am doing work. I will try my best to manage the time given to me wisely to complete the task.

Did you experience any fear, discomfort, or apprehension working with this team? Why?
I did experience some fear and discomfort. I did not know the other team members at all. It was hard to try to communicate with people who I do not know. I was afraid because of the lack of communication, the task would not be completed.

How did you overcome it?
I tried my very best to be friendly and tried to communicate with them.
