It is only days till 2011.
I hope everybody is ready for the new school session commencing on the 3rd January.
Year 6G and 6U will be on my portfolio once again. The Return of the Nightmares, I mean for me.
Teaching the exam classes has never come easy for me but challenges are anticipated and I must embrace it.
I hope the pupils are as enthusiastic as the teacher.

Here are some kits that I expected for my year 6 to have by the first week.
1. An A4 Ring File wrapped in Yellow for 6G and Orange for 6U.
2. A4 Foolscap paper.
3. Stationery.
4. 5 Coloured Papers of different colours.

With school holidays nearly coming to an end, I did put some effort in my reading...I mean its a waste if I don't do any leisure reading during this time.

Paper 2 Question 2a 

 








Paper 2 Question 2b Sample answer: I would choose Jiro Hiroshi because I like him very much. He is thirteen years old and is about the same age as me. He lives in Japan. I like Japanese people. He likes playing computer games and reading. Through the internet, we can play games together or suggest books for reading. I think I have made a good choice.

 



Paper 2 Question 3 Sample answer: This is Ahmad. Ahmad is a good boy. One day, he was ill. He looked as pale as a ghost. His mother, Puan Ros told him not to go to school. Puan Rosnah took Ahmad to a clinic. There were many sick people waiting for their turn. Having waited for 30 minutes, the nurse called Ahmad in for examination. The doctor examined Ahmad thoroughly. He advised Ahmad to take his medicine and drink a lot of water when he is home. Later, Puan Rosnah helped to take care of Ahmad. She prepared porridge and monitor Ahmad medicine intake. After some rest, Ahmad was feeling better. He is now in the perfect bill of health!

He showcased some of his work at the seminar and I took photographs of some.









Another presentation was by Prof. Madya Dr. Mustapa Kassim from CAS, UUM. The title of the presentation: Crafting the future and making a difference.
He emphasized on the three components of the human being which are:
1) The Mind
2) The Soul
3) The Desire

Basically he asserted on this point:
"Education must focus on building the thinking capacity of a person."

The presentation central around this topic and he highlighted quotable quotes from prominent people of our times.

The seminar indeed helpful for teachers who aspire to do their best and the correct way to do things concerning their day-to-day activities. I believe documentation of the teaching and learning activities must be practice by all to develop good habits and instilling pride in work and increasing accountablity.

Feel free to browse through on some materials I've uploaded to Slide Share. Forgive me for the quality of the file because I'm new in managing PDF's.
Have fun browsing! Cheers!

Currently I'm reading a book written by Jodi Piccoult (2001) entitled: Salem Falls. It's been a while since I last read a fiction. :)





I wish to share some of the phrases and sentences that I found interesting
and it is the expression we seldom use (I mean those who use English as a second language). Furthermore, I find the expressions related to the culture and that is another reason why it is interesting to note.

1. "Delilah, who died and left you king?"
2. "Bubbles rose inside him, the carbonation of happiness."
3. "People change, but only if you give them room to do it."
4. "The ones with Y chromosomes."
5. "....small sursurrations of surprise swept through the rows."

The second part of the revision is writing based on the picture of "My Hometown".
Students were ask to write 5 sentences based on the situation in the picture.



The subjects are:
1. A boy
2. A cat
3. A hen and two chicks
4. A wooden house
5. Two coconut trees
6. A bicycle

No verb is required for this exercise. Description is the major emphasis.

I've found an interesting website meant for creating quizzes online. Great tool to utilize in the classroom!

Looking forward to put it into good use during the school holiday season...

As exam is approaching in two weeks time, I decided to do some revision. The session kick-off with writing.

Pupils were asked to write 5 sentences based on a picture of children at a park.Sentence construction focused on simple continuous tense.

It has been a week since I first set up this blog. I've been contemplating on what to write in my first entry. It's not easy to do this, since I am an English teacher with little flair for writing... ;)

Well, here goes...

Being a teacher opens my eyes to something different. It's like seeing one thing in many perspectives. The decision a teacher made affect eternity...like the wise Henry Adams put it...

"A TEACHER AFFECTS ETERNITY, HE CAN NEVER TELL WHERE HIS INFLUENCE STOPS"

I set up this blog to help me enrich my teaching and learning activities as well as motivating myself to develop myself further. I also hope my pupils will give me a visit anytime soon, browsing through the sites I've suggested.

This is how I hope to plant my footsteps for the next decade. I pray for God to give me strength and guidance in my years to come as an educator. Insya Allah...
