Release of PSLE Results (2)

Finally...the time has arrived to announce the results. Both parents and pupils were anxious to get the results from the respective form teachers. Before the pupils received thair results, my principal gave a short briefing to all parents with regards to all the important dates that they should remember pertaining their children's choosing of secondary school and postings.

When the time finally came for the results, all pupils and parents were eager and excited, not forgetting nervous. Some parents kept their calm while others....it was very obvious that they were more nervous than their children.

Of course....there were pupils who did exceptionally well, some who fairly made it through and a handful who have to repeat their Primary 6 course next year. Well, for those who are repeating, they should spend this holiday starting to prepapre themselves for the next academic year. On the other hand, for those who are moving on to the secondary school, my best wishes to them for a whole new journey towards achieving greater success in a new environment.

Hence, I should say it was a time or joy and for some, it was a time to let off their disappointment and sadness. It's alright to cry it out but at the same time, should learn from their mistakes and move to do their very best next year.

Now...what's important is for you to ask yourself....have you done your very best this year? If you have and should you have not done well, try harder next year. If you have and should you have done well, you deserve the great results and the progress to move on to a secondary school of your choice.

Whatever it is, my best wishes to one and all!

Till then, God bless...

Update...

I will be teaching Primary 4E next year...Alamdulillah....my wish to be in the morning session is granted....I am jubilant!

Release of PSLE Results (1)

Today is the day that all P6 pupils will go through either with pride, dignity or total disappointment. Why? It's because the PSLE results will be released at 12 noon today. Right now, all the P6 teachers and Key Personnels are gathered at the meeting room to have the first glimpse of the results that have been received earlier in the morning. They will be the first people in the school to know of the results...the rest of us are waiting patiently to hear the good news (hahaha...hopefully, it's really good news for all of us!).

To all those who have done well in the PSLE, Congratulations to you people. For those who have failed and need to be retained next year, my advice....pull up your socks and better start preparing for next year from now!

Whatever it is, I am still waiting to know the results of the pupils in this school. Till we get the news at 12 noon....Stay tuned...

It's That Time of The Year...

It's that time of the year....when the level that we are teaching next year will be announced. Well, according to some of my colleagues, the Head will announce our level later after lunch. All of us had received an announcement just now during lunch that all staff are to be in Raffles Room at 1.30p.m. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is eager to know my class for next year.

Of course we welcome this change (announcement of level to be taught for the following year at the beginning of the holidays). It's better for us to know earlier so that we can do the necessary preparations during the holidays. What's more, I heard quite a number of my colleagues aren't travelling out of Singapore this December holidays. So, obviously, they will be glad to know their classes for next year in advance.

On top of that, besides knowing the level you are teaching next year, what teachers are also concerned is whether they are being given the session that they had requested for. I heard alot of my colleagues had asked to be in the morning session. I guess, it's almost the same everywhere else. The morning session is the more popular choice between the 2. Well, I asked to be in the morning too and hope that my wish will be granted. I have been in the afternoon session for the past 3 years. It's time for me to have a change of experience and environment by teaching in the morning.

Whatever it is, let's wait and see what the Head has in store for us at 1.30p.m. For now, I think I'd better log off and continue with my administrative duties before all of us leave the school this Friday for a looooooong holiday.

Till then, God bless...


P/s: Will update you peepz regarding the level I will be teaching next year soon.....

Good, Happy News for Hubby and Me

Hi...it's been a while since I wrote in here...almost 2 weeks I guess. Well, have been rather busy with school work....you know, the end of the year....busy with keying in results and preparing the report books for the pupils.

Anyway...however busy I am, however tired I am, I should say that I am in cloud nine lately...to be precise, since last Saturday when my gynae, Dr Lawrence Ang, confirmed my pregnancy. How far along am I? At the present moment that I am writing I am 7 to 8 weeks along. Well, of course it's still early to announce my pregnancy...but I am too happy as I have been trying to conceive for the second one since eary this year.

But I should say that this second pregnancy is way, way different from the first one. When I was carrying Hana in me for 10 months, I had no problems at all. On the other hand, this pregnancy has seen me falling sick a couple of times, with terrible stomach cramps. I will feel super-tired by late afternoon and what I will normally do is just sleep from about 4pm to about 6pm almost everyday! Can you believe it? It's that tiring! However, I am praying that it is only for the first trimester.

Having said that, I am delighted to have been able to write in here to announce my pregnancy to the whole world...ahahaha....

Till then, God bless...

Marking Day

It's marking day today. So much work had to be completed within 5 hours. Firstly, what I did was to compute the pupils' attendance for the whole year. Then, keyed in pupils' marks in the Cockpit system. The only results that I have not received yet is the Chinese Language Paper. Looks like the CL teacher will only pass the results to me tomorrow. Oh dear...what a rush. If only I could get it by today...then I can already calculate the results to find the top 3 pupils in the class to be prize winners for the Prize Giving Ceremony on 15th November 2007.

Now...I still have another task...that is to complete the class' remarks by tomorrow so that Mdm Z will have ample time to check my remarks before we start printing the result slips to be put in the pupils' report books.

I am so tired....But, looking forward to 1pm...that's when I will be able to knock off from school, head back home and jump onto the bed for a good rest!

Till then, God bless...
