SINGAPORE AMERICAN SCHOOL
Singapore American School is a amazing school it is full of kind teachers it was first built on kings road and then it changed to ulu pandan now it is at woodlands! First there was only less than 20 students now it’s over 2000 students! The 3 main languages are english, spanish, and chinese!
Some of my favorite things about SAS are the playgrounds because they are very big, space to play tag and games with lots of friends. I am excited to try the slide in the new building to go from one floor to the next.
There are lots of kind teachers and students. The teachers sometimes do fun games with us that helps us learn. They are not too strict. My friends in my class help me because they know me. We get to do STEAM we get to make models, coding to make a robot that takes a rock and moves it. I can’t wait to see where the STEAM, Library and Art are near each other. It will be easy to walk!!
How to figure out is it a boeing or airbus GEORGE
When it comes to speed, the Airbus A380 zooms ahead of the Boeing 747. The A380 flies at about 1185 kilometers per hour, making it super fast. But don't count out the Boeing 747. It's not as speedy as the A380, but still zips along at around 1060 KMH (you can’t really see a airbus and boeing race)
What is the main difference between Boeing and Airbus?
A Boeing has the conventional control column that sits in front of each pilot, while an Airbus has a side stick system, which sits to the side of each pilot. (you can’t really s ee that.) Pilots tend to train in light aircraft with conventional control columns so the side stick takes a bit of getting used to.
The cockpit window is another important clue. Airbus aircraft, cockpit windows are more square in shape, while on Boeing aircraft they tend to be more elongated. The airbus Has “lines” on the engine rounding The spiral line, the boeing does’nt.

Check Out The App Canva!
The App Canva helps you write presentations and also helps you send birthday invites! Canva has many different tools you can use for either birthday invitations or your presentations. If you are a student and going to a local school canva helps you a lot, or if do not go to a local school then you might use it a little less than local school. Canava can have many options of creating what you look forward to creating, and sometimes you might even need to pay but at least you don’t need to pay for everything. Usually you will only have to pay when the emoji or anime is very good and has been used a long time. And that is why I really think Canva is a great app, to use anime design and birthday invites. Why don’t you go and have a free trial on canva!

Why to Go to China in Winter
This is a lego daytona I’m building right now. It’s a Ferrari Car model and it's designed for 18 years old and above. I’m only 10 years old but my Mom says I’m so good at Lego that she and my brother want to challenge me to complete this lego. If I don't finish it, she will never get me Lego again.
China is a great place to go in the winter because China is not that cold in the summer except in Beijing and Shanghai the 2 biggest cities in China and you can go snowboarding in Beijing mountain and if you are great at skateboarding then you will also be great at snowboarding because snowboarding is just like skateboarding.

Book Summary for Keepers of the Lot Cities
KOTLC(Keepers Of The Lost Cities)is a really good book to me because it is long,big,and it is fantasy,which is my favorite genre of book. KOTLC is about a girl named Sophie who is living with humans and has a photographic memory. When she is 12,someone named Fitz comes to the human world and he has come to bring Sophie to the elve’s world. When she is there she finds out that she has telepathy. She has to say goodbye to her human family. She learns that people(the Black Swan)have created her. She lives with the elves for a very,very,very long time,and for a good reason;to learn more about her telepathy and her 2 other powers that she has.
The Best Sauce EVER!! (its homemade)
First,take half a teaspoon of ginger paste and add it to the small bowl. Then add 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce to the bowl. Next,add 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce to the bowl. Stir the awesome mixture thoroughly without spilling any(it’s okay if you do,but it’s best if you don’t). Lastly,add 1 teaspoon of water to the bowl and mix it again,not as thoroughly this time. Your mixture is now complete. It goes well with dumplings,rice,and noodles(not pasta).
My favorite animals are cats and lemurs.
