Dear 5A,

Hi,

You may use the given fact sheets to generate some ideas....

Ng Jun Wei Clement said...

I think everybody can do their part for total defence even us children. We can help in total defence by knowing what to do in the case of an emergency because if we do not know what to do during an emergency we would be lost. In other words there will be a very high chance of death, a life and death matter. Also we can help in total defence by learning what happened in the past and making sure it never happens again. Since this is all in the social studies textbook, we just need to read the textbook and understand it well to help in total defence. ITS EASY!

Total Defence does not only invovles adults,but children and senior citizens must play their part too!
If we are in an emergency, we must learn how to use fire equipments properly.An example is the fire extinguisher. If we do not know how to use fire extingishers properly, we have a high possibility to lose our life! We must beware of terrorists and strangers because they might be people who wants to invade a country!
I agree with Clement, we must also read our Social Studies Textbook and learn about the past!

I totally agree that we should support the Total defence group. We children will be in deep trouble if we did not support the Total defence.Example:Chidren playing with fire in the void deck,it may cause lots of live to be lost if there is a crowd there.Total defence help us alot as it can help us to extinguish the fire and if there is some country coming to invade Singapore the total defence will help us to lead the way to the underground shelter!Our textbook will help us to know more about Singapore.It is our resposibility to help Singapore to become a better place.If you read the textbook you may also find some other interesting information about Raffles the founder of singapore.Reading the texbook is easy it is only a few minutes!Try it!

I think we can help in total defence too.we can help put out fires and learn the different locations of the bomb shelters so that in an emergency we will know where to go without help,we can also be able to show people the way to the nearest bomb shelters.we can help look out for suspicious looking people as they may be dangerous people.We must learn how to use fire extinguishers properly so we can help put out fires,we must also learn what to do in different emergencys,for example,we will immediatly go the the nearest bomb shelters when we hear the siren.Also,we have to learn the history of singapore by reading our social studies textbook so as to understand what things that past singaporeans had to go through and not take things for granted.

squid said...

Yes.I agree we must play our part by getting fit,learning more about other peoples cultre and not starting up a fight.We can't just depend on the police,firemans and militery defence to save us cause we ourself must put in effort and do our part even though we are still kids we can still help.Senior citizens and adult can also help bynot fighting.I think that even if we are small or big we can still play our part to help during total defence.

Sarah... said...

I agree that all of us should be a part of Total Defence as it teaches us how to defend ourselves and our country.We will know what to do in an emergency if we read our Social Studies textbook.I think that Total Defence is VERY important to all of us in Singapore and the other countries.
We can help with Total Defence by practicing it not only on Total Defence Day.Read the Social Studies textbook and you will find out a lot more...

I remembered clearly about sweet potato was given out during the last Total Defence Day in 2007.Oh No!!!....the sweet potato was horrible to eat!! Do you all agree? Maybe I was the only one who disliked the sweet potato. Can you imagine during the War World 2, people only had this for their 3 meals?? I really don't want this cruel event to happen on us! Therefore, WORLD PEACE is important as it will bring the whole world united and everyone will be able to live in this peaceful & beautiful world. Let's do our part to make this world a better place for all.

I agree that all adults, children and senior citizens should play a part in Total Defence as we cannot depend on heroes like firemen, policemen, and soldiers and many more. We should do our part by providing the necessary information to the proper uniform personnel in order for them to assist during times of emergency.Personally, I consider firemen as my real hero. Why! Because whenever a building is on fire or about to collapse, everyone runs out of the building but they went in despite of the danger posed. Although it is their duty, I still consider such act of courage as heroic. The policemen maintain law and order during crisis while the army provide us a sense of security and peace of mind against alien forces while we work and play and get on with our daily lives. I have learned some of these during our social studies classes and also partly from television advertisement.Who knows that one day we may have to do our part taking on their responsibilities.

I think it is important for children to senior citizens to know that 15 Feb is total denfence day!It is important that the defences help us when something really happened.So, on this day we are going into food rationing(biscuit and water)in school.But I think that we should eat sweet potatoes to have the 'feeling' of the people at war.If you dont understand about the WAR WORLD 2 you can always look in the Social Studies(ss).

Total defence day is a day that we need to pratice because if an intruder attack us,we must quickly run to a bomb shelter to protect ourshelves.If we get attack by an intruder,a lot of us will not survive when that thing took place in our home ,in school or office.So we must get prepare.

Sheryl Foo said...

I think children, adult or elder in different races should take part and know about total defend day. We can help by knowing the location of the bomb shelter when emergency. Look out for suspicious thing at shopping centre food court etc as it may be a bomb!
We must put in our part to help the total defend .we can also help by not quarrelling or fighting and not make each other hurt.
We make be prepared to protect Singapore in case other country attack Singapore (I hope it would not happen)
You can go to the library to find out more about what happen in the past.

Everyone has a part to play in total defence, even children. We can study hard and be independent so that in the future we will able to defend ourselves other than depending on others. We can also read about the past and know what to do when there is an emergency and where are the bomb shelters.
We should not play with fire as it is very dangerous and it may lead to death. All of us should learn how to use fire extinguishers or other fire equipment incase of a fire. I hope everyone will be able to do their part in total defence!

i agree that not only children can help with total defence day. Even adults and senoir citizens can help with total defence day. We can help with total defence day by being calm when emergency arrives. We must know what to do and not to run about without knowing what to do. Example, when suddenly a fire is burning in the classroom or somewhere around in singapore that may affect most of the citizens, we should know how to use the fire extinguisher, or other ways to put out the fire. If 1 or more people do not know what to do, it may cause death to us. So, it is very important to help with total defence day. I hope everyone would participate in every emergency and save people from death.

Sincerely ,
Perlyn Ho Pei Yi

ummm....this is hard!!!
Civil Defence,we help by being vigilant and alert at all times and knowing what to do during emergencies.Economic Defence,we can help by staying relevant and competitive through rapid change and development.Social Defence, singaporeans of all races and religions living and working together in harmony and Helping fellow Singaporeans.Psychological Defence,we must have pride in, and being loyal and committed to our country and the will, resolve and resilience to overcome challenges.
The End!!!
Thank You!!!

um...the first thing i wanna say is....all of the other pupils wrote such a long comment!!!..ok..here goes..I think that everybody must play their part in Total Defence otherwise we will end up unprepared during a real emergency and i dont want singapore to end up like in the 1940s so total defence day is a very important day for me!

nobody understands said...

I think everybody have to take part in Total Defence as it is our country and we have to protect it in any way we can.Even for kids as young as us can do our part to defend Singapore.We can take part in the IPP(in-place protection)at schools.We should always make friends with people even from other races so if people are in trouble we can help them.That is all i have to say about Total Defence...

Everyone even kids like us has a part to do in Total Defence.For example, we have food rationing in our school every Total Defence day.We can experience how was it like in the world war.This activity also teaches us that now,we singaporeans are very lucky.Now,we should learn about what should we do when there is an emergency.I hope all of us will be protected and ready when anything happens.

I think everyone has to play a part not just only ourselves and for the boys when we grow at the age of 18,we need to go for NS and we will be away for a long time without our parents.I hope that going NS is good because my father told me that we can learn some survival skills over there.For the girls,they need to learn some housework and some cookings from their parents.That is also a part of Total Defence because when they know how to cook and turn on the gas.Total Defence is everyone's responsibility.

I think Total Defence Day is a shared responsibility.Students can help by working hard and helping the 5 defences when we grow up.We should NOT sit in class and daydream but we should instead read some history books so history will not repeat itself!!JUST READ!!

Ham 'n' chesse said...

i feel everyone should do their part for total defence.chilren and adults should take part as they would all know what to do during an emergency.we children can also help in total defence as we can learn life saving skills like CPR,first aid,how to use a fire-extinguisher etc.

so lame said...

I think everybody should do their part in Total Defence even children

prince macoy alias Caleb said...

I think that people of all ages should take part in total defence if diasaster comes,everyone would know what to do.we can learn skills like CPR,first aid etc. we should also have an emergency kit with us at home. when the alarm sounds,we all know how to react.

Unknown said...

Everybody should take part in total defence.We should keep Singapore safe and secure.We should turn on the radio if we hear the siren and follow instructions.Every people have a part to play.We should read more history books to learn more about the past.

I think that everybody can do their part in Total Defence Day.Even the childrens,adults and senior citizen can take part too!During an emergency we can help by showing the way to the bomb shelter and telling them what to do.

Benjamin said...

I think that everyone can do their part in Total Defence Day.Even children,adults and senior citizens can take part to not only the defences can take part.We can help and save ourselves by leading everyone to the bomb shelter when there is a air raid

sianghuishaun said...

I like Total Defence Day as I will be able to eat something else other than canteen food!

meredith said...

I think that everybody should do our part to protect Singapore in case of a terriorist attack or a fire.If there is a real terriorrist attack everybody should get ready a radio and be alert.Of course don't panic too.If there is a fire, we should all move accordingly to instructions.

Norman Tan Jun Hao said...

i think that total defence is everyone's respondsibility.it does not only concern about audults,it concerns about children too!for example know what to do in case of imergency is very important like using the fire extinguisher,saving lives skills using CPR.we can also gain imformation at the social studies textbook

Asy-Syariq Bin Mohamad Khalid said...

i think that everyone should take part in total defence day as it is our responsibility to protect our own country which is singapore. it is a shame for us to not love our own country.

Unknown said...

I think that total defence day is a very special event.We can also help out to hide in shelter and putting of fire.Everybody should also be a part of total defence day.

Amrita said...

I think every singaporean can take part in total defence day.Even the pri 1 can take part too.If there is a real siren i hope we could respond to it well
I hope history would not repeat itself.

warnerkoh said...

i think that everyone should take part in total defence because we should be prepared for surprise attack from any countries

Cleon said...

i think everyone should take part in Total Defence Day too.Last year, i tried out the sweet potato but it tasted awful.But i think it is still better than nothing.We can help by locating the nearest bomb shelter if there is an emergency.

Lee Wan Xin said...

I strongly agree that everyone should play a part during Total Defence Day regardless of what age.There are Civil Defence, Economics Defence, Military Defence, Pyscological Defence and Social Defence. Every Total Defence Day, we hear the siren ring. In real emergency, we must quickly turn on the radio to hear what is happening. For example , if there is a bomb, we must immediately look for a shelter. I hope everyone will understand why we celebrate Total Defence Day.

Wannee said...

Everybody should take part in the total defence day.It is everybody responsibility.We can't depend on the policemens and firemens.We must be prepared because if there an emergency we know where to go and what to do.So everyone should play their parts.
