ELECTRONIC LANTERN 2011

Electronic Lantern Competition
Reported By: Fayiza

I personally feel that this competition offers students the opportunity to encourage students to explore their skills, not only that it also encourages student to engage with issues which are important to them.

While looking at other lanterns:
While looking at other lanterns, I had a feeling that most of the schools had beautiful lanterns too. And of course, we were scared that the other school will beat us because of their nice lanterns.

While waiting to announce the results:
I think the judges had hard time to decide on the winners as the standard of all the lanterns were high. All of them had fears from time to time. That's true no matter how big we are or brave we can be. There was a sticky feeling within me and there were butterflies in my stomach.

After the results:
Receiving a prize, means that you have achieved some outstanding accomplishment or had made significant progress in personal endeavours. But unfortunately, my group didn’t win any prize but my other friends’ teams’ hardwork paid off, they won. They shared their happiness with us to encourage us. I feel pleased and proud of about their achievement. I was very happy because my friends’ teams won and not only that, Henderson has been winning 1st prize consistently.

Our thanks:
Obviously, my thanks go to lots of people, my school, Henderson Secondary school, my teachers, my other fellow friends. But my special thanks go to a very important person, who motivated us and guide us along the competition. It’s no other than my teacher, Mr.Ong.

This is lantern number 09. Mini version of Alice In The Wonderland, with fantasy castels, farries wheel and a cute fairy couples.

This is lantern number 10. Maybe it may just look circular in shape but there very bright and beautiful when we switch off the light.



This lantern number 11. Maybe it may looks plain but the magic only starts when we switch off the light.

Solar Racer 2011 @ Ngee Ann Polytechinic

Solar Racer team: Teh Wen Khiey. Jefanie Teo Shu Ting, Truong Nguyen Quynh Anh and Dennis Ferbian Kirana
Teacher in-charge : Mr Chui Kiam Ming

This year, we entered Solar Racer @ Ngee Ann Polytechnic in September. We attended a workshop during the Septembger holiday, 6th and 7th. The workshop has taught us parts of a circuit board, how to solder the components on it and lasly to read the resistor by identifying the colours of the stripes on the resistor.

On the day of the competition, we were told to control the solar car with a radio controller. We volunteered our CCA mates, Wen Khiey and Dennis to control the car. It was an intense compeitions for the both of them as the other schools were very strong. We did our best and pushed through the rounds. Finally emerging as champions

With the knowledge and skills we have learnt from this competition, it will surely benefit us in the future.
