STS-127 Answers Room 8's question from Space

Mrs Raman is so proud of you'll Joseph, Shar, Te Kawehau and Taylah for taking our name into SPACE.

What an achievement for Room 8, Kelvin Road School and Mrs Raman.

It is wonderful to see that all our hard work has paid off.

I hope that  you all will grow from strength to strength in your 'endeavours' - just like the name of the sts-127 space-shuttle.

Well done my Coolkids!

Proud teacher,

Mrs Kree Raman

Kree witnesses a gorgeous morning Sky - 20 July 2009

At 7am, I opened my front-door to give salutations to the Sun but I saw the Moon instead, breath-taking! How strange - the Sun and Moon so close to each other? Is this normal?

Then as I was leaving home for school at 7:45am (running late today) I saw a gorgeous rainbow from my garage-door. What a lovely way to start Term 3 after a wonderful 2 week break?

Reach for the STARS!

Coolkids showing off their E-pal letters which arrived all the way from Navrachana School, Gujarat, India.

We are looking forward to emailing our friends in India and working on projects together.

Thank you Navrachana School and Mrs Krishnammal for the beautiful letters we received in the post today.

Every task should be for the good of many...

"I plead with them with all my might. But they would not leave their accustomed ways of darkness and of shadow, the enemies of life. Oh unhappy fate that leads the weary travellers from light to dark.

There is not a moment in your life when you cannot render service and set an example. Every one of us can bring something to this world everyday. We can sound a note that will resound rhythm and harmony. When we cultivate our inner sense of values, we cease to be fretful, we cease to complain and we always have something to give. If we give with wholeness of heart, we shall be able to remove mountains of obstacles and difficulties; and all our struggles which arise from our imperfections and which make our life so full of suffering, will vanish as night before the day. That is the higher ideal of life - oneness in faith, oneness in hope and oneness in cheer.

May the Infinite Being protect me from selfishness and narrowness of vision. May He enlarge my heart and expand my love until it embraces all His children. May I never be impatient or weary in his service, But may I feel at peace in my own heart and bring peace to other hearts."
