The new semester is already into it's 2nd week. I got a shock when I was informed just before school reopens that I will not be teaching my P4 class anymore. Instead, I will be taking 6 other classes Art. Art?! To be honest, I have been quite good with Art since young and has always been interested in doing Art. But I have not gone through any Art teaching course! So it is with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty when I know I will be taking Art until the end of the year. If you ask me how's my Art lesson so far, I can say it has been FUN! The pupils have been doing ceramics under the guidance of this group of artists hired by the school. I did mugs and shoes with the pupils. The only headache is my P5 EM3. Aiyoh, they all don't mingle with each other peacefully and after they finished scupturing their clays, they will make a mess out of the toilet! They love to disturb their classmates and always get into arguement with each other. Don't know why they must treat each other like enemies! Really cannot tahan them!
I did a powerpoint on how to make poster too. This I find doing it quite interesting because when I was in school, my teacher never really teach us the correct way to design a poster. Teachers always tell us : "Just draw whatever that is relevant and remember to write a BIG headline a the center of the poster!" My theme for my first poster making is - Dengue Fever. I told the kid I want creative poster, not one that you can always see around our community, you don't have to necessarily draw a Aedes mosquito on your poster, you can put you favourite idol on the poster (say...Christina Aguilera!) and add a headline - "If you let them breed, you may not see her anymore!" The pupils were quite excited when I told them they can put anything on their poster. Kids... I guess they love the extraordinary thing... hope next week they can come up with exciting and creative headline and contents for their posters...fingers'crossed!
As I'm only taking P5 & P2 class now, I have more time and energy to......PUNISH & SCOLD them! Haha...evil grin! Especially my P5 class. In class, everytime 1 fellow talks, I will stop. I think last time I can tolerate pupils talking but NOT NOW! Haha! Because I only need to scold my P5 now! I have more energy now! Wahahaha.... On Tue, some pupils play truant by not attending my Supplementary class. I threatened to give them the BETA form unless they provide me a good explanation and a letter from their parents. Until now, only 1 still haven't given me the letter. No more am I going to give them chance! On Tue too, I made 2 P5 pupils follow me to my P2 class after their Supp. They were secretly doing their Zuo Ye while I was teaching so when I finished my class, they handed up their Zuo Ye to me. So I told them it is useless, follow me to my P2 class! Ok, you may think I am a sadist, but to be honest, this P5 class really need to buck up. Only 7 passes during SA1 you know. I really need to help them pass their Chinese. That's why I need to be very strict with them from now on!
Phew, so much updates in one go! Tired now, update my life asap! Ciao!
