Back to School

Am kinda glad that we had the March holidays and that we are now back at school. Cos we have to get started again somewhat and this marks the beginning of the next 7 more weeks we have for our practicuum. Didnt really hit me that we have to do Napfa testing too, and that directly throws off my schdule of the games I had planned. I hope I can sneak in 1 lesson of dance....I really want to try it out.

First finishing line in PESS. One more to go next year

I left Boon Lay with mixed feelings, but it was more of a release. I felt that I can for now go back to the unreal world of PESS where all is possible and fun and play and rosy and to do what I need to do to prepare for other stuff during this time before I get posted out to school.

Went to help out with the FOC, and it was fun. The cohort was significantly smaller, and we laughed our heads off at some of the presentations of the totem heads and presentations. We are the seniors now, and I was reminded of how it like last year when I was considered a freshie. Boy was it fun.
Doing touch for the sport pick-up session tmr and there seem to be quite a number with rugby background. Should be ok I think.

Teenage years can sure be turbulent

It went well and I didnt encounter any problems. Whoo hoo!

The lady from Canteen stall 3 asked me today what I would like to have tmr so that they can cook for me. I was so pai say! I simply told them whatever they cook I'll eat (for the simple reason their food is good. The standard is still there Qingling!) Hahahah! And so tmr my last day at BLSS after 5 weeks, and truth be told, the PE department here is strong and close. It would be nice to work here but I guess it won't happen. Such is life.

Last stretch

I'm so glad the observation was over.4 more days to go.

And I couldn't make up my mind if I wanna go for the Aussie State Cup so I guess I'll pass.

A long and seemingly never ending week

This week seemed really long and difficult to pass. Changes were also made to my teaching lesson plans. Thank goodness I'm ending badminton next week,I really don't think the students are that interested in that anymore. And I had a change to start teaching floorball! Its so going to be fun!
Yet another change came from the Sec 3s lessons. The weather hasnt been kind to them and thus their softball lessons are disrupted, and they are still to be assessed next week( week 4), after which Daniel and I have to come up with 2 lessons on volleyball. Seriously I'm happy that I get to try and teach so many variety of games,but lesson plans are such a chore. School is such that things change constantly and most of the time we have to adjust accordingly. Oh and did I mention that I will be conducting a lesson for the Band A Sec 2 express class next next Tues? I am nervous about it cos I'm supposed to touch on quadratic equations.Blah. I need to touch my maths again.
I got kinda sian when my CT told me (nicely) that there was a badminton racket left in the hall, and I was the last to use the hall with badminton lessons.I was so sian,I assumed that the students would keep everything but, oh well I'm going to more mindful next time.

When we are at that age

The thing about teaching is that there will never be the same 2 days. It can go well with the classes one day and they suddenly decide they ain't going to be as participative as before. They sure do keep me on my toes.

Start of 5 weeks

Its the first day of practicuum,and I don't know what to make of it. Met 7 more NIE trainees,2 on ESE. Company was pretty good.
The next few days for this week will see me going to observe and learn from the other teachers, with next week being very busy cos of their Jubilee Week, which requires us to attend their Sports carnival on Sat as well. Good chance to learn new things, think will be tired though. Next week have to teach liao.
