The sky was overwhelmed by crimson and amber tinted clouds. Amabel and her friends, Christina and Julia, went to their favourite restaurant, Sweet restaurant, to have their lunch. When they reached there, it was very crowded. They waited for ten minutes for a table.
But, their happiness was not for long. Not long, three masked robbers armed with knifes, rushed into the restaurant. Terror seized them all. They were very brawly. One of the robbers went to the counter and forced the pale-stricken cashier to fill the cloth bag with money. In the meantime, the other robber checked to see there were any policemen. Another robber grabbed Julia with a great force and used her as a hostage. He signaled us not to make any noise and as well as not to move. A child was so frightened that he burst into tears. Seeing that, the robber stabbed Julia.
After a few minutes, the robbers decided to leave the scene. The robbers pointed the knives at the pedestrians. They then fled into a getaway car. Amabel quickly took out her hand phone and the ambulance. Then, she told Christina to look after Julia. Together with a diner, Mr. Ho, they got in their car and gave chase. In the twinkling of an eye, the police arrived. Seeing that, the robbers had no way to escape, they decided to surrender. The police brought them to the police station. Everything returned to normal after that.
After that, Amabel rushed to the hospital. Luckily, Julia was not seriously injured. Amabel wished this would not happen again.

Racial Harmony Day!
July 20, 2007 is Racial Harmony Day Eve! July 20, 2007 is also the celbration for Racial Harmony Day!!! We must dress in traditional costumes. =P We will have to make five stones! Each person must make a stone. Playing Five Stones was fun even though I did not play well in the game. I also did not know much how to play! There was lots of laughter in the class too! We were split into different groups to play the game, Five Stone. Some of the boys were at the back of the classroom had their “Five Stone Battle” there.
By playing this game, it will let us know about other culture such as Malays and Indians. Our participation engaged us with our HEAD, HEART and HANDS. This game also provided us with valuable National Education lessons.
Racial Harmony Day is held on 21st July every year to mark the day in 1964 when race riots broke out in Singapore. It reminds us of the importance of racial harmony and not to take it for granted.
Although the different racial communities in Singapore live in harmony with one and another, we must never take this as granted. To live in harmony, everyone will need to put in some efforts. In any community, there are deep feelings of race, language or religion. The race riots that occurred in the past as well as the racial conflicts in many other countries are good lessons for us. We need value and appreciate that each race has its own culture and traditions. The many races living in harmony in Singapore can be our source of strength and creativity.
The main thing of the racial harmony is that we could be living together in a small country, Singapore, even though we had different races and cultures. From this Racial Harmony Day, we must learn to respect each other races and cultures. If we did not, there will be race riots again which happened in the past.
There is a website where there is games on racial harmony for you all to play!

Hey, Oral is coming! I had just type some fun poems for you all to read! Hope you're like it! Recite this fun poem
Recite this fun pomes amount the parts of speech below.Does it help you understand what the parts of speech are in grammar?
All nouns are name of things
As Mary, Rome and King.
Pronouns take the place of nouns,
You know, she works, and he frowns.
To read, count, sing, laugh or run.
When what kind you wish to state,
Use adjectives as small or great.
But if manner you would tell
Use adverbs, slowly, well.
Conjunctions join the words together,
As men and women, wind or weather.
The preposition stands before
A noun, as in or through a door.
Interjection show surprise,
As oh! how pretty! ah! how wise.
The world are called eight parts of speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach
Rain, reign, and rein,
English is a pain
Although the words
Sound just alike
the spelling's not the same!
Bee, be, B,
I'd rather climb a tree
Than learn to spell the same old word,
Not just one way but three!
Sight, site, cite,
I try with all my might.
No matter which I choose,
It's not the one that's right!
