Amazing Animals

All the amazing animals I am going to introduce can be found in Asia.

1. Bactrian Camels

These camels can only be found in Mongolia now. They are capable to cope with extreme climates. In Summer, they are found in small groups by dry valleys or nearby hills. In Winter, they are found by dried up creeks or stream beds. They usually live around 50 years.

2. Caracal

They belong to the cat family and can be found on dry terrain from India to Africa. In the day, they rest among rocks and holes. In the dark, they hunt for preys over wide areas. They are faster than most cats and can climb trees rapidly. They main feed on birds, monkeys and other smaller animals.

3. Siamang Gibbon

Guest who they are. Right, they are Primates which live high up in rainforests of Malaysia and Sumatra. They travel very fast through trees using their powerful arms. Currently, the number of Gibbons are dropping due to rainforest destruction. We must not endanger these rare animals.

4. Tarsier

These small animals have BIG ROUND eyes. Their hind legs are 2 times longer than their bodies which enable them to leap from tree to tree very easily. They usually live in pairs or very small groups. Tarsiers feed on bats, lizards, snakes and birds. So, who says small animals do not eat interestingly.

5. Komodo Dragon

They look like monitor lizards that can be found in Singapore. The Komodo Dragons live in Indonesia, in hilly or lowland areas. They are cold-blooded and sleep during night in tree roots and rocks. They are very good swimmers, better than some fishes, because of their strong tails. Guest what they eat. Yes, they feed on small Komodo Dragons. In addition, they eat pigs, deers and monkeys too.

posting 2

Hi people, my name is KAIYI. I am born in the year 1996. I was born in the Gleneagles Hospital. When I was born, I could see many wonderful things. At the same time, I could see many people staring at me.


As time pass, I was carried out of the hospital by a pair of warm and caring hands. When I was brought into a strange house, I realised that it was my home, and those people that sent me home were actually my family members.


In the year 1997 , I learnt how to walk. The following year, I learnt how to talk. I went overseas the first time when I was 4. I lost myself there once. I was around hoping I could find my parents, luckily they found me. I thought I would be lost forever. I cried very badly and they comforted me.

When I was 5, I went to kindergarten, I felt scared as I would be leaving my parents. After my first day at school, I no longer felt scared as I realised that the teachers in school were very kind towards the children. I enjoyed my kindergarten as there were little work and good food. As I graduated from kindergarten, I felt sad as I would be parting with my good friends. However, I knew that I would be making new friends in my new school.

I went to Henry Park Primary School in 2003. My first teacher gave me good impression about the school, I began to adapt to new friends and life. I also began to take up soccer. At Primary 2, I was asked to join the tennis team, after much consideration, I decided to pick it up. I had also made new friends in no time, however, we had to separate when we went to Primary 4.

From Primary 4, I began to represent school in tennis. I felt proud of myself.

In 2007, when I was in Primary 5, I had the opportunity to watch NDP live. The performance and march pass gave me a sense of belonging. I want to represent my country in future.

This year is very important to all of us in Primary 6 as the year end PSLE will decide where we will go. I want to perform extremely well in both my studies and sports and hope to go the school I have been dreaming to attend.

elizabeth choy

Elizabeth Choy was a great war heroine during World War 2. She was willing to sacrifice her life for our country. She was a teacher in two schools. She never gave up although she was tortured by the Japanese. She had a very strong fighting spirit. Although she was electrocuted by the Japanese, she carried on living. I think she is a role model for us to follow.
