Keep that Wisdom Spirit Burning

2007-01-07T15:08:00.000+08:00

When I first entered my secondary school, I felt that I had grown up. I was no longer the 12-year-old playing "catch" down the school corridors or that girl who puts everything and anything into her school bag. It was a new year, a new life and a new school. But the memories that I had from my primary school life stayed with me. Strongly. Those were years that shaped me and brought me to my secondary school. I made new friends and had new teachers, but never did I forget the friends and teachers I had in my primary school days. P5 camp, excursions to the Science Centre, the trip to the Singapore River as well as inter-class competitions stay strong in my memories till today.

And you, 6 Wisdom, gave me memories that I carry with me everyday. I share them with fellow colleagues, friends and family. It is always you that make me smile. I hope that the memories that you and I have built together will keep you smiling in times of trouble and crisis.

With that, I wish everyone of you a great life as a secondary school student. Keep that Wisdom spirit burning.

How is your secondary school life so far? Share your experience with me today.

Dance-A-Thon 2006

2006-03-09T01:08:00.000+08:00

8th of March 2006 - the day we had our very first Dance-A-Thon to raise funds for our school's Performing Arts Centre.

There were lots of fun-filled activities that day, not forgetting all that were done weeks before the event. We trained for the three dances during PE periods. We participated in Dance Idol 2006 and spent at least a week designing the dance steps and practising them. We made banners to cheer for the finalists from our class.

When our friends were on the stage, we could not control our emotions and screamed our hearts and lungs out for our friends. We even stood up and danced with them!

When we heard that our class clinched the top two prizes, we were even more excited!

"Hip, hip, hurray!" we said the cheer thrice loudly and clearly.

We ended the day with lots of photo-taking.

Congratulations to all the finalists. You did a fabulous job. Congratulations to those of you who cheered for your friends. You make really good cheerleaders! And an additional round of applause goes to those who held the banners high up in the air. Without you, we would not have been spotted!

Thank you once agan for all that fun and laughter. It is a day we will not forget.

Where Do Zoo Animals Go When They Die?

2006-02-12T06:46:00.000+08:00

To the lab, the museum, and the education department.
By Daniel EngberPosted Friday, Jan. 27, 2006, at 6:02 PM ET

Veterinarians at the National Zoo put down two animals this week: an arthritic, 40-year-old elephant named Toni and a 13-year-old cheetah with kidney problems named Wandu. What happens to zoo animals when they die?

First, a necropsy is performed, and then the remains are cremated. The carcasses of all animals that die at the National Zoo—including those that wander into the park from outside—are brought to an on-site pathology lab for thorough examination. Zoo staffers identify the cause of death (if it isn't already known) and preserve tissue samples that might be important for research or education. (The zoo maintains an archive of formalin-soaked specimens from every animal that's died there since the 1970s; the Bronx Zoo has tissue samples dating back to 1920.) After the necropsy, Toni's carcass—which weighs thousands of pounds—was shipped to a lab in College Park, Md., where it will be incinerated starting Friday. The process should take about 24 hours.

Toni, like other elephants, is part of a national conservation program that has its own protocol for necropsies, as well as an updated list of which body parts should be saved. Instructions for elephant necropsies, for example, suggest a "chain saw, axe, or reciprocating saw to cut through the cranium" and "carts on rollers to move heavy parts." (Click here for a document that describes the procedure.) The elephant parts now in demand for research purposes include intact brains, eyes, and "two whole large thoracic ribs."

Not all species are part of a national program, and not all zoos keep tissue samples from every single animal. Most of the time, parts are donated as needed. Scientists who study exotic species can ask a zoo ahead of time to save a certain body part or blood sample. The zoo's education department might also receive some excised parts. Docents could use a tortoiseshell or a patch of cheetah skin, for example, as a part of educational presentations. Natural-history museums often have a need for skulls and other bones; the Smithsonian (which runs the National Zoo) sometimes requests carcasses for their displays of taxidermic critters.

Laws on the final disposal of a dead animal vary from place to place, but incineration seems to be the most popular method. The first elephant at the Baltimore Zoo, Mary Ann, received an official burial in a Maryland graveyard when she died in 1941.

Explainer thanks Jane Ballentine of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association, Linda Corcoran of the Wildlife Conservation Society, Mike Keele of the Oregon Zoo, and Peper Long of the National Zoo.
