设施的变化：
因为学校装修，培群搬到了临时校舍。我们访问了几位老师，想了解他们对新学校的看法。
有的老师认为学校有些投影机不清楚；有的老师认为如果课室里有冷气机会非常舒服，但是这样会浪费电；我们班的张楠老师认为图书馆应该放一些小学生比较容易读的书，因为某些书对同学们来说太难。
食堂:
张楠老师认为同学们会想要更多的摊位，这样大家就能品尝到更多的美食。但是有的老师担心这样会让同学们花更多钱买食物。

在我们认真的访问下，我们得到了几个老师的不同回答。
张老师表示：“保护环境是每一个人的责任。作为小学生，虽然我们的能力有限，但我们也可以做一些力所能及的事。比如，我们要记得把水龙头关紧。如果发现坏掉的水龙头，我们要及时报告。我们还可以在课室收集用过的纸张。我们也可以在洗碗时把水关小一点，避免浪费。”
我们觉得最好笑的答案是苏老师说的：“要减少水的用量就要少去厕所！”
老师们都觉得要有保护环境的活动，那样学生会多保护环境。我们也觉得学生们可以保护周围的环境。

今天，小记者沈文渊和李佳颖采访了张楠老师，内容是关于新学校的交通状况。
佳颖：张楠老师，请问您觉得早上来新学校是不是更加方便？
张楠老师：我觉得新学校的交通有点不方便，因为路口每天早上停了很多车。
文渊：您是怎么来学校的？
张楠老师：我有时候搭公共巴士，有时候搭德士。
佳颖：您是不是住在离学校很远的地方？
张楠老师：挺远的。我住在义顺。
文渊：请问您平时是几点来到学校？
张楠老师：我差不多七点来到学校。
佳颖和文渊:谢谢您！
张楠老师：不用客气！
您的新闻，
我们的事业。
旧和新的校舍
刘簪维 (5E)
2017年，我们来到了临时校舍。我觉得新学校比较好。因为新学校的白板比较干净，而旧学校的白板比较肮脏。新学校有操场，可是旧学校没有。新学校还有电梯呢！而旧学校没有，还要爬楼梯，真麻烦! 可惜，只有老师可以用电梯，我们不可以，还是得爬楼梯。新学校有五层楼，旧学校有四层楼。新学校的课室比较大，旧学校的课室比较小。新学校的地板比较干净，旧学校的地板很肮脏，有时候还有蟑螂和壁虎在白板上爬着，真可怕。
新学校的风扇比较快，旧学校的风扇很慢，总是热得我满头大汗。新学校的窗外风景很美，所以我觉得新学校比较好。
校园的课室
王姿丽 (5E)
新的一年，我们搬到了新学校。新学校里有新的图书馆、新的牙医室、新的食堂、新的课室等······
来到了我们5E班的课室，有灰尘的味道。课室里面没有了水龙头、课室的顶部是黑和白的图案、课室的地上是用水泥做的。
这所新学校有很多课室，这是为什么呢？因为这所新学校以前是一所中学。这所新学校很宽阔。
这个新的课室很宽大，我可以很专注地听老师在说什么。
图书馆的变化

图书馆
现在的图书馆很大，有更多的书可以选择，而旧学校的图书会比较少。同学们常常去图书馆，去学习更多的知识。

图书馆的变化
As the school is undergoing renovation, Pei Chun has to move to a holding school. After interviewing some teachers, they agreed that some things need to be improved on.
The Facilities:
Mr Zhang Nan thinks that the library should have books which are easier to read as some students find the books quite difficult for them.
He also thinks that if classrooms had air-conditioning, it would be great for all but or course, it will be quite expensive and a waste of electricity.
Canteen:
Teachers also think that students would like more stalls to sell more varieties of food. They also trust that their teachers would support it. However, some teachers disagree as these items might cost more.

Changes in the New Site
Moving to the holding site this year meant there have been a lot of changes to our study environment.
One of the few changes that is very obviously different is the Library. Now, instead of just a reading area and the usual shelves of books, we have a larger area for reading and there is even a place within the Library called ‘The Sanctuary’ which is like a study area for us to use after school.
Thanks to this new study room, we get to use an air-conditioned room for our own self-directed learning. We can do our revision, homework and other school related things without the worry of not having enough space when another class is in the Library.
We also have a lot of other rooms within the Library. One such room is the theater performance room which has a raised platform in it that acts like a stage. The theater room was one room which fascinated a lot of people during the tour of the holding site.
Outside the library, we have some benches for some people who do really like the cold to do their work and relax.
We have more space outside to put our bags and as a result, we can have more space in the library.

Changes in the New Site
Our school shifted to the holding site this year as part of the PERI upgrading programme. There are many changes in the new school, such as the field, the canteen and the library. The school canteen is one area where many pupils spend a good part of their time. Let us take a look at what the Uncle at store Number Two has to say.
“There is not much change in business, and the canteen is definitely smaller”, he said.
“I hope my business will not be worse and I hope pupils won’t get into falls and sustain other injuries due to the overcrowding,” he added.
Walking around the canteen, everyone would definitely notice a big difference – the Popular Bookshop. In the old school, people could walk into the bookshop to choose the things they wanted to buy. However, in the new school, people queue up and ‘order’ the things they want from a hatch. After that, they will have to queue up in a different line to pay and collect the items. There is a disadvantage in this arrangement – there now has to be at least two people manning the bookshop – one will be the cashier, and the other will be the person who will pass the things ‘ordered’ to the buyers. This has led to long queues. Let’s hope we get a bit more efficient in organising this.
I do find that there is an increase in the variety of food sold this year. Some are so scrumptious that many people eat them every day. Stall 8 has new items such as pancakes and pao /大包子. The tasty food served deserves a thumbs up.
On the flip side, I find that the canteen tables are dirty and some tables even have words carved on them. The new school also has are more stairs, and that is a big problem for the people in wheelchairs or casts as they cannot move about easily. Fortunately, there are lifts to be used.
A suggestion scheme was recently introduced to pupils. I hope we will continue to improve on the environment here so as to make our school experience a happy and memorable one.

Lee Jia Ying and Marius Sim from 5A interviewed Mr Zhang Nan about the traffic situation at our holding site.
Jia Ying: Mr Zhang, do you think it is more convenient to come to school in the mornings now that we are at our holding site?
Mr Zhang Nan: I think the traffic at the holding site is a bit heavy because there are lots of cars at the junction every morning.
Marius: How do you come to school?
Mr Zhang Nan: Sometimes, I take the public bus and sometimes I take a taxi to school.
Jia Ying: Are you living far away from school?
Mr Zhang Nan: Yes, quite far. I live in Yishun.
Marius: What time do you usually come to school?
Mr Zhang Nan: I come to school at about 7am.
Jia Ying and Marius: Thank You!
Mr Zhang Nan: You're welcome!
*After two years, in 2019, we will move back to the current site.

We interviewed some of our teachers and got different answers from them.
Mr Zhang says, “Protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility. Being a student, even though our ability to do so is quite limited, we can still do our part. For example, we can remember to always turn off the taps tightly. If we notice a broken tap, we should report it immediately. We can collect used papers in the classroom. We can also minimize the amount of water flowing from the tap when washing the dishes to prevent wasting water.”
We all agreed that the most humorous answer came from our Art teacher, Mr Jonathan Soo,
“We can minimize the water used by going to the toilet fewer times each day!”
All our teachers think that we should promote events about protecting the environment. That way, students can learn more about what they can do.

*另记：再过两年后，在2019年时，我们就会搬回旧学校。

现在的图书馆比以前更宽大！现在的图书馆有多余的房间，比如：书房。我比较喜欢现在的图书馆，因为里面的书排得比较整齐。
现在的图书馆很靠近我们的课室，图书馆有举办“我爱阅读”的比赛，因为学校希望能够鼓励学生多读书来增长知识。
