UK Daylight Saving Time

Daylight saving time (DST; also summer time in British English; see Terminology) is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. Modern DST was first proposed in 1907 by William Willett. Many countries have used it since then; details vary by location and change occasionally.

The practice is controversial.Adding daylight to afternoons benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours,but causes problems for farming, entertainment and other occupations tied to the sun.Extra afternoon daylight reduces traffic fatalities; its effect on health and crime is less clear. Although an early goal of DST was to reduce evening usage of incandescent lighting, formerly a primary use of electricity,modern heating and cooling usage patterns can cause DST to increase electricity consumption.

DST's clock shifts can serve as fire safety reminders,[8] but they complicate timekeeping and can disrupt meetings, travel, billing, recordkeeping, medical devices, and heavy equipment.[9] Many computer-based systems can adjust their clocks automatically, but this can be limited and error-prone, particularly when DST rules change

Bowling Park Primary School Open Afternoon

Open Afternoon ni pertama kali diadakan utk ibu bapa / penjaga melihat persekitaran dan pembelajaran anak2 di sekolah bermula 2.15 ptg hingga 4.30 petang ...best gak gi menjenguk keadaan sekolah anak2...kalau nak citer perbezaan ngan sistem persekolahan di msia terlalu banyak bezanya...kat sini sekolah bermula pukul 8.45 pagi - 3.05 petang, so pagi2 memang tak kalut, budak2 gi sekolah pun rasa selamat sebab hari dah terang benderang, beg memang ringan, kerja sekolah jarang sekali dibawa pulang (selalunya diselesaikan di sekolah), bebudak tak stress dgn peperiksaan so nak jumpa pusat tuisyen kat sini utk bebudak sekolah memang takde...selalu diadakan aktiviti yg menyeronokkan seperti lawatan, hari berpakaian biasa, parti perayaan dsb...hari sukan dibuat biasa2 je, kdg2 tak jemput ibu bapa pun...aktiviti persatuan pun tak paksa murid sertai, nak join...join, tak join pun tak kisah...tengok cikgu kat sini pun tak stress sgt...kalau cuti sekolah, sekolah memang tutup terus...apa2 urusan ngan sekolah, tunggulah sekolah buka semula...lagi satu yg bestnya guru kelas mengajar kebanyakan subjek utk kelasnya, kdg2 sahaja dibantu 2 org guru lain, so perkembangan serta prestasi murid mmg guru kelas tahu dr A-Z...dan yg seronoknya takde yuran yg dikenakan, yg ada hanya bayaran utk minum susu dan buah2an, itupun kalau nak, tak nak tak payah bayar...hmmm, moga anak2 kita dapat menyesuaikan diri dgn sistem persekolahan di msia nanti setelah lama 'bermanja' di sini...(tengah berfikir beg trolley camna nak dibeli buat anak2 nanti?)
