Alex M on Market Day

In school everybody has been working with their group and preparing for market place.  In my group are Suyong and Lucas.  Over the weekend they both came over to my house to make the items we needed to make it happen.  My group is doing a service where people throw wet sponges at my face and teacher’s faces.  Some of the teachers that will be there are Ms.Nisa, Mr. Myers, Mr. Nathan and maybe even Ms. Alden!  A throw at me is 20 cents, a throw at a teacher is 40 cents, and a throw at Ms. Alden is $1. All the money we raise will go to a microfinance organisation called KIVA.  I think that we will raise a lot of money because it will be very popular!

Business Field Trip

Here are some photos from the "Business Trip" that 5SB and 5DC went on, on Wednesday. From a teacher's perspective, the students have been making great progress in their learning of the way people trade goods and services. Students went out to the Holland Village wet market, the Holland Village independent shops above Cold Storage and experienced a Q&A session with Suriya, a very patient store manager at Jelita Cold Storgage.

On Thursday

Today we got our jobs. I was so worried that I would not be the Police Officer but then a spark of joy came and I found out that I was a Police Officer.The whole classroom was noisy in excitement and sadness. I felt unhappy for the people who did not get there 1st choice.

ISS Economy time

In this unit we are doing something called ISS economy where Mr Chan is the mayor of the class room and we all have jobs my job is homework monitor! In this we all get paid different amounts of money. I get $800 chan per week. Some good aspects about this are we get to learn about what it is like in real life, we get to receive LOTS of money and it's fun! Some bad aspects are that we have to pay $500 each week for our desks  which is a lot and we have to pay tax!

Class jobs

Today, we got our class jobs, that we will earn a class salary.

When I opened the envelope, at first, I was sad that I couldn’t get the job I wanted to be. But on second thought, I thought that I was lucky, because my job was one of the top 3 jobs I wanted to be. Then, I heard that we will change our jobs in a few weeks, so I was very happy.

Also, Mr.Chan said that we can earn a bonus, so that means, that I can earn more money than a banker, that earns the most salary in all jobs, if I work extra hard.

What I learned through this activity, is that it is very hard to be employed by a company, because people have to do interviews, and express why they want to be in the company. Even after employed, an employer must write a paragraph, expressing their enthusiasm for doing the project, and why they are good for doing the job.

It was a pity, that I couldn’t get the job I wanted to be, but I’ll do my best.
