Bad weather and sad cases

Lately, the weather hasn't been very good. Rain has been pouring quite frequently and lots of puddles of water all over the island. But it is good as rain forms part of the WATER CYCLE! The P4 pupils will know what the WATER CYCLE is and why it is important to nature. Lots of unhappy cases of local pupils drowning in water bodies had been happening. I feel a sense of loss and sadness for the families and friends of the victims. That explains why I get very panicky and worried when parents call up or head to the General Office to ask about their kids who had not reached home after remedial lessons or other school commitments. I hope all my pupils will exercise caution and care when they are outside.

Mid Year English Oral Exam

The English mid year oral exams are finally over! I feel happy for my class. Most of them could speak though their main problems included the following: Some could not read clearly and loudly; Some were merely rushing through the reading passage like a bullet train; Some were reading too softly that even the ants could not hear them. As for the picture description, some pupils did not mention the general location of what was shown to them. But most did! Some pupils used, "I see this... I see that" which was not very approriate. Instead, they could have used, "In the top right hand corner, I can see a little boy crying helplessly." I was glad many pupils could give their own interpretations besides describing the picture. Well done, 4A! I shall post more in the days to come, so watch this space for further updates!

Apologies for Missing in Action

Sorry for not logging in to update my blogger for quite some time. Initially, it was some network problem from home. I typed my entry nicely but couldn't seem to log in. Sometimes, I am really very busy with work that I got no energy to touch this blog. Sorry to my avid readers and supporters! I shall be back more regularly.
Exams are around the corner, this week the English and Chinese oral exam shall kick off. Pray hard that my 4A babies can do well. I hope all of them can open their mouth and really talk! I shall keep all of you updated about their performance again! See ya!
