Editor's Note Hi boys and girls! Welcome back to school! This year has been very special. We had to stay home to learn and could seldom return to school. It changed the way we see studying! Now we can learn anywhere and meet our friends and teachers at any time! We're all in this together to support each other! I'm also glad to tell you this year we have two new editors! Welcome them!

The Naughty Triceratops Baby Written by
Lee E O (4C) Millions of years ago, a triceratops mum was walking in the forest with her baby. Triceratops had three horns and a bony frill on their heads. The Triceratops baby was naughty! He saw some
dragonflies
and walked away from his mum. After a while, he
suddenly realised that he was alone. He shouted, "Mum! Where are you?" He felt scared. His screaming
attracted
a scary T-
Rex's attention.
T-Rex had hundreds of teeth. Each tooth was as big as a banana. T-Rex had a very powerful bite. T-Rex found the baby! T-Rex wanted to eat him! The baby was frozen with fear when he saw T-Rex. The baby was so scared, it lost
consciousness.
Luckily, the baby's mum was on her way! She rushed at the T-rex and used her horns to attack T-Rex. She hurt his leg badly so he escaped in a rush. The baby woke up and
apologized
his mum for being naughty.

A Relaxing Trip to Koh Samui Written by by Mac MAK (5C)
L
ast summer holiday, my parents and I went to Koh Samui. Do you know
where Koh Samui is? It is a wonderful island in Thailand. We ate delicious seafood and did thrilling water activities there!
When you visit Koh Samui, you can go to a unique seafood restaurant and sit outside along the beach. There are many different kinds of seafood like fresh jumbo lobsters, spicy crabs and king-sized prawns. It is very tasty and juicy! The fantastic scenery and beautiful sunsets are very impressive. Also, the local musicians play the ukulele in the streets.
Do not miss the sun and beach activities there. For example, you can join the windsurfing club to enjoy water fun with your own personal coach. You can even sunbathe on a white sandy beach.
On the whole, Koh Samui is an amazing place for a memorable journey. If you are looking for a relaxing trip, Koh Samui is the best choice for you!

P.7 P.7 Opinions W Teen's
hat do you think about space exploration? Should we
explore the outer space which we know very little about? Does it cost too much? Are you afraid of what we might find out there? Here are some opinions from our P6 students.
CH U
YA N 6C YAU
Climate change continuously causes threats and the Earth may soon run out of space for us to live. So, I think space exploration is definitely important. There are eight planets in our solar system. Out of these planets there’s only Mars that may be suitable for us to live on, but it is only a 50% chance. There may be some more liveable planets that we haven’t found yet. We need to keep exploring so that we can find more space to live.
While we explore the universe,we will find new organisms or even aliens that may be useful and helpful to us. It is exciting to find new living things! Even though space exploration is seen as dangerous technology is developing rapidly. Space equipment is getting safer and safer. So I think we need to keep exploring space to find out if we really are alone in the universe!.
G N O L E U H C G N U E H 6C
I don’t think exploring space is important because space exploration is a waste of resources. Going to the moon, we need to make rockets first. Many experiments are done and many resources are used. Sometimes it fails. Therefore, a lot of money, rare resources and energy are wasted as a result. A lot of rubbish is produced too which causes air
pollution
and water pollution. Second, exploring space is
dangerous because every year, some astronauts die when they are exploring space. This is very troublesome.
Many people think that exploring space is important, so that they can make more scientific
discoveries.
But I don’t think so, because
although we explore space, we will only know more about space. It won’t bring many benefits to our daily life. It won’t improve our living quality and it will not make us wealthy.
In conclusion, exploring space can only benefit us on a small scale and it is too dangerous. The risks outweigh the benefits.

P.8 Opinions
fter all these zoom lessons and self-learning days, do
you think we can replace teachers with computers in the future? We discussed with our P6 students and also asked them what they think about learning from home Let's have a look at their opinions!
Many students are using e-books to learn new knowledge because they

interesting, which can increase student’s interest in learning. Also, E-books contain
more
relevant
information.
Computers,
as
the
main
source
of
information, will help us to reduce the number of teachers.
You may think that teachers can answer questions informatively, but with a computer, you can find almost everything in less than a minute with high accuracy. Using computers to learn new knowledge can also save
resources because we won’t need wood for so much paper.
In conclusion, nowadays an increasing number of students rely on computers for research. Others have decided to leave the traditional way of learning and prefer online schools. So, I think that we can easily replace some teachers with computers.
LEE YIN W O 6C
COVID-19 has forced us to teach and learn online, leading to the question if we can replace teachers with computers. Some say that we can but I don't agree with this statement.
I have experienced online teaching through zoom and I think that I am less motivated to learn. Computers are machines and because they cannot interact with students, we get bored and demotivated easily. Computers can't understand a student’s study progress. It just teaches you what you should learn and although it is more you
may
not
even
understand
the
efficient,
sometimes
clearly.
Nowadays,
knowledge
technology is more advanced and useful. We always need to do revision and search for information online, but if the electricity does not work or the internet connection is too slow, it will
disrupt learning.
I think face-to-face learning is more fun and interesting. We can learn easily and clearly. I prefer face-to-face learning and therefore I don’t agree that we can replace teachers with computers in the future.
