Hi Everyone!
The holidays are over and now it is back to school again. Hope you had a restful time. For this week's journal writing, I would like you to reflect on a coming global event : Earth Hour. This year, Singapore is participating in this global effort. To learn more about this event, you can visit these websites:

To help you with the reflection, I have listed some questions below:
1. What is Earth Hour?
2. When is it held this year?
3. Why do you think people are organising this event?
4. What will everyone be doing during Earth Hour?
5. What other activities can you organise with your family and friends during Earth Hour?

7. Could you propose some solutions to ONE of the problems which you have highlighted?Wishing you a pleasant reflection.
My answers:

2)This year's Earth Hour is on 28th March.
3)They want us to save energy for global warming.
