Term 3 Week 3 Reflections

Dear Cyber Kids,

Have you ever feel uncomfortable, weird, scared, confused or guilty about the content you see online?

Here’s my story…Many years ago, when I was surfing the Internet for information on my project, I chanced upon a website with the following caption. - “LOSE WEIGHT FAST- 10 KILOGRAMS in 3 DAYS.” The website provided 10 easy steps for ladies like me to lose weight. Though I found it a little unbelievable, I was tempted to give it a try. Just when I was engrossed in reading and understanding how to go around losing weight in the fastest way, my mother came into my room. She saw the content on the website and asked, “You are not going to follow the steps, aren’t you? How can you go without food for so many days? Is that the right way to lose weight?” I came to realize that I might even cause harm to myself. I have learnt that in order to lose weight, it is important to have a balanced diet and exercise regularly. What about you?

1) Have you ever seen anything online that made you afraid, uncomfortable or feel excited and yet guilty because you sensed that it was wrong?

2) How would you discern if the content on the Internet is inappropriate?

3) What should you do when the content on the Internet is inappropriate?

I hope to read your responses soon.

Hi Everyone,

The Singapore Kindness Movement has designated April as the month of kindness. Well, we are coming to the end of April. What acts of kindness have you done? For this week, I would like you to reflect on 'kindness'. To get some ideas, you might want to visit the website of the Singapore Kindness Movement at :http://kindness.sg/

Here are some questions to help you get your journal writing going:

1. Is it important for people to be kind? Why?

2. How can people show their kindness?

3. Could you describe an act of kindness which you have done?

4. How did you feel after doing that act of kindness?

5. What other act/s of kindness would you like to do either in school, at home or in the community?

I look forward to your entries!
