Disney on Ice - Finding Nemo

Last Thursday, 15th March, the school brought pupils out to Disney on Ice at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. 4A had 22 pupils attending the event. I wish to praise these pupils who went to Disney on Ice as they were very well behaved both on the bus and at the stadium itself. I am proud of all of you, boys and girls. Even if the pupils wanted to play or chit chat, I observed that they were whispering softly. Well done! Keep it up.
Merchandise sold at the show were quite costly. Imagine a tub of pop corn selling at $15 and some candy floss selling at $12. I wonder why some families bear to spend on it. Perhaps, it is for the fun of the event together with their families. But our school pupils were also rich and spent on it. All of you are indeed fortunate. But do remember to think through before you spend as these are your parents' hard-earned money.
I hope the pupils enjoyed the show. It was very massive production which involved lots of man power and I saluted and admired the amazing skating skills of the performers. Good job to the team of Disney on Ice performers. For those who may wish to take a look at the website, here you go! http://www.disneyonice-asia.com/nemo/nemo.html
This is also the first time I have been to Disney on Ice. It was a good experience.

A Terrific or Terrible Tuesday

It's the second day of the March holidays. Today I conducted remedial lessons with my class. As some pupils had MT remedial earlier on in the morning, I had to schedule my lesson to a later time. It was supposed to be from 10 am to 1 pm. At first, I expected the turnout to be low as some pupils may be taking holiday break with their family. But I was happy to see 34 of the pupils present. The absent ones include: Brenda, Petrus, Emily, Nitesh, Siti and Bing Fu. I wonder why these pupils were absent. Hope they were absent for a valid reason.
As for the rest of the class, we did quite a lot of work today. I gave the class revision papers to attempt. We started off with English, followed by Science and finally Mathematics. The class was quite prompt with English and Science but they couldn't finish the Math paper. I really hope the pupils would strive to improve and work hard so that they can do better for the mid year exam.
As for myself, I was not feeling well this morning. I believe the breakfast I ate was contaminated. If my pupils were observant, some would have seen me rushing out of the classroom at least twice this morning. I went to vomit in the toilet. It was a terrible experience. In fact, I still have diarrhoea and stomach pain till now. Not to worry, I have taken some pills. I just hope and pray that I will be fine as I do not want to fall ill, especially not to suffer a relapse of my stomach flu which I caught in January. :(

My March Holidays

Time indeed flies! To think that the March holidays are already here. I was typing an entry last Wednesday but the network had some problems and I lost the entry. *Sob sob* Let me try to recall the content and re-type it here then.
The termly review is finally over. My babies from 4A did not do very well. I hope all of them will not give up hope, but instead, use the March holidays wisely and pull up their socks. Work harder on their weak subjects and seek for better improvement. We must never give up hope until we really try. We can never know the amount of results we can achieve.
This coming week of holiday doesn't seem to be much of a rest for me. Though there is not formal classroom lessons with the pupils, I have something on almost everyday of the week. I have to attend my Math course at NIE on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday, I have arranged for extra lesson with my class from 10 am to 1 pm. On Thursday, the P3 and P4 form teachers and some others have to bring the pupils to Disney On Ice. What a hectic week. But I shall perservere! When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. I hope to have a smooth and blessed week!
