PSLE - ORAL

Here comes DOOMS DAY!

Good luck to all p6s taking oral this coming thursday and friday. Remember to come to school. :D

CONFIDENCE is the KEY to SUCCESS

Exams Stress!

It's the prelims. Can you believe it? 58 more days to PSLE.

My expectations of my pupils are getting higher and higher. I so desperately want them to do well. 70 marks are no longer my target, now I am aiming for 80 marks. However, it seems that I am the only person who wants them to do well. The pupils are not working as hard as I expected.

1. They have to be forced to read the Ultimate Science Guide and learn their spelling.
2. They are as careless as before in their work, especially calculations.
3. They give up easily when encounter with a difficult problem.
4. They engage in little and insignificant quarrels and fights.
5. They spent their break time running under the hot sun.
6. They get all sweaty and smelly on the day of the exams (even though PE and TAF were suspended hoping that they can concentrate better)
7. They are more interested in other things than studies.
8. They are not serious in their work, no effort.
9. They are forgetful.
10. They find all kinds of excuses.

Are these the actions and attitudes of a graduating class? I doubt so. What went wrong? Perhaps I should just let go and acknowledge that KIDS WILL BE KIDS. They are still quite childish and cannot think for their future. Should I close one eye, and let them be? I am so tired. I have been working till late at night to prepare them for the prelims and mark their work. I even gave each of them a little gift (hand written) hoping to motivate them. Where's the appreciation? What do I get in the end? Disappointment and more disappointment.

Disclaimer: The above is only directed to certain pupils, not the whole class. There are pupils who having been working hard and showing good progress. I am really happy and contented to know such students exist. I sincerely pray to God for more such students. They are my inspiration and motivation to carry on this calling of mine.

Mock Exams

SIGH... mock exams... STRESSED

After marking your English papers, I also stressed!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have taught what I need to teach, yet my pupils cannot remember! They make the same mistakes again and again. Why is that so? I am really disappointed and sadden by their results. At the same time, I am also worried. Will they do well for their prelims and PSLE? What if they do badly?

Time and time again, you have broken my heart. I wonder if I can pick up the broken pieces and continue with this journey.

DISHEARTENED!

Congratulations

Congratulations to Tony for getting the 1st runner-up (2nd prize) in the P6 Toastmasters Competition. Well done, Tony.

So 6 Hope, if you believe in it, put your mind to it and strive towards your goals, I am very sure you will achieve your targets.

NEVER SAY DIE!

Just for laugh~

Lone Ranger and Tonto are camping in the desert, set up their tent and are
asleep.

Some hours later, The Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend, "Tonto, look up
at the sky and tell me what you see."

Tonto replies, "Me see millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?" ask The Lone Ranger.

Tonto ponders for a minute.

"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies
and potentially billions of planets.

Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.

Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.

Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and
insignificant.

Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

What does it tell you, Kemo Sabi?"

The Lone Ranger is silent for a moment, then speaks:-

"Tonto, you Dumb Ass, someone has stolen our tent."
