We are so excited to be at the MOE Excel Fest 2012. We will be here from 30 to 31 March at Suntec City Convention Hall 401, Booth B71. We are sharing with visitors how we use newspaper in class to learn more about Singapore and the world. When we discuss the articles in class with our classmates and teachers, we also learn the right values. We also have to share our thoughts on the issues discussed with our teachers through our reflections.

While we may feel tired, we are heartened that many visitors like how we use newspaper in class.

Do you like the way we use newspaper in education? Do you have a suggestion for us? We appreciate your comments and feedback.

If You Are Caught... (6 Faith)

Issue: 6 March 2012
Title of article: If you are caught...


Beside the fact that drugs mess with one's mind (LRD Issue on 21 Feb 2012, page 3), there are also dire consequences when one gets involved in drugs.


The type of punishment meted out to such offenders ranges from a stint in a rehabilitation centre to jail time and caning. As stated in the article, it's the responsibility of the person charged with trafficking drugs, such as heroin and methamphetamine, to prove his innocence and not the authorities.


Take a look at the following video to find out more about the negative effects on one's mind and body when one takes drugs.





Extension activity: Write a letter to tell your best friend about the consequences of taking drugs and the legal actions that might be taken against the person who's caught taking/trafficking it. [Post it as a comment to this blog entry.]
