OUR PROJECT PROPOSAL FORM

Title of our Project:
Our Senior Citizens
Our Project Focus:
Our country has taken some steps to meet the needs of
senior citizens. We want to find out how else we might
address their needs without compromising on the
aspirations and needs of the young.

Our reasons for choosing this project:

Our society faces an increasingly aged population. While we need to tap the potential
of the younger members of our society and help them to reach greater heights, we
cannot neglect the aged who have contributed to our nation. From this project, we
hope to better understand the present situation and the future needs related to this
problem. We will also suggest actions that can be put in place that will meet the needs
of both the elderly and the young.

This Project is linked to: Topic: Subject:

• Family Relationships • Civics and Moral

• Community Spirit Education
• Our Nation, Our Heritage
• Challenges Ahead

• Statistics • Mathematics

Clarifying What I’ve Learnt

CLASS: 2D NAME: Revenge of the Nerds

Some questions that are still going

around in my head…
How to make people more aware of Global Warming?

If people aren’t aware of Global Warming, then how will we survive?

Why’s it that it’s so difficult to reduce the effect of global warming

immediately , and has it got to do with the people on earth?

Why are we doing this?

What should we do now?

3 things I learned…
-Global Warming affects not only us, but plants and animals as well.
-We need to meet up during the Holidays to discuss and do the worksheets
-We need to edit and finalize the project by the end of the Holidays.

-Completing the worksheets are not easy.

-Having 5 members to cope with can be quite hard.
-We must organize our time well.

-We have no idea what is our product.

-Global Warming is caused by us humans.
-We need to work together.

-The challenge to complete our worksheets are growing bgger.

-We have to focus to get our worksheets done.
-We have to meet up sometimes.

-We need team work to do thing right.
