school term coming to an end :)

and the last week of the school term 2011 is finally here. just when i was still thinking how i can cope with the long school term of 10 weeks when i don't have my rongrong around in singapore with me, these weeks just zoomed past amazingly fast. i could feel the tiredness, accumulative day after day with the endless markings and non-stop admin work to complete. but yes, i've conquered the action-packed ten weeks and the start of tml marks the start of the last week of school term already! :) without realising, i've been a full-fledged teacher for half a year already. Lots of events,occasions,issues that had risen over these few weeks and subsequently resolved. the SA2 examinations and all the mad rush to complete the admin work - to key in results and all their remarks and qualities - i'm so proud of myself to have accomplished the scary load of work.

and with all the hard work coming to an end, it is time to bid farewell to my primary 5 form class. my RO asked me over our discussion, whether i want to follow them up to p6. it is the best class leh, i told her i do not want to risk their results due to my inexperience, will be safer if i could stay in the p5 level for a year more to steady myself before i follow the class up. and upon saying this, of cuz i know i wont be able to teach my current p5 class for next year, i do feel a little nostalgic of not being able to be their form teacher cuz i really enjoy teaching them alot. i have to argue with them sometimes cuz they are really those vocal type, i have to scream at them to get their attention when they get overly excited during my lesson (im too arousing eh? :P), i have to negotiate with them when i have to take away their pe lessons (so far only 5periods) when i need to rush to go through finish some of their worksheets, i have to shout at them when they get a little mischievious. but, i will miss doing all these with them. think cuz this is my very first form class as a full-fledged teacher, will get a little sentimental when i say goodbye. somemore when i relate to them some of the stuff that their p6 teachers will teach them, they even ask me to continue to teach them next year too :') they said they will miss my fun lessons! and when this came from a child whom was being scolded by me most often, who was the most vocal and forthcoming child in class, all the more i know i will miss them all. hahaha...but of cuz, will still see them in school, just that they are no longer my form class :)

and this time for their SA2, all of them did really well and the class improved as a whole. however there are a few of them whom i really tried my best to help them promote up to the best class 6.1 next year, but they still fell through and was dropped to the other classes. i felt really upset that i do not have the full class going up to the first class next year. especially so when i saw them improved, i do not have the heart to see them fall through. not that the better pupils from other classes do not deserve to be promoted to the first class, im not sure if my pupils are able to cope in the other classes :( i can only wish them all the best in their primary 6 next year and will not hesitate to help them as much as i can too! :)

i will remember the good and fun times we had together! the pe lessons that they are ever so enthusiastic about, the children's day celebrations when i treated the whole class to pizza, the teacher's day celebrations when they flooded me with many many gifts once i stepped into the class and all the other rest of the days when they never fail to give me surprises and bring a smile to my face. jiayou my dear 5.1 class, you guys are the best! :')
