WEEKLY PRACTICUM JOURNAL

  HELLO! HELLO! Welcome to my 4 th week at SK Taman Maluri for my practicum. Last week was very packed and hectic. This week, everything was back to normal. Due to the Sports Day event last week, we got a day off on Monday, 25 th September 2023. It felt so good lying on the bed after a very busy week. My legs got cramped multiple times after the Sports Day. Next, on Tuesday 26 th September 2023, nothing special happened on that day. On that day, learning in class went on like usual. I got to enter one class which is 2 Alfa for Art subject. I gave them a piece of drawing paper and they needed to colour it by using the rubbing technique. They were allowed to be around the classroom and at the stairs to complete the colouring. Those kids have so many things to talk about. One hour of class was not enough for them to finish the colouring. Some of them just scratched the whole paper and some did really great! I remembered this one kid who coloured everything with only blue colour...

  HELLO! HELLO! Welcome to my third week of practicum! Huh, almost a month just in the blink of an eye. Many things happened in week 3. Very hectic and busy week for teachers and pupils. Let’s start with 18 th September. On this day, we had a closing ceremony for Independence Month. All of us teachers and pupils need to wear traditional clothes that weren’t our culture. As for me, I wore Kurti, an Indian traditional clothing. It was my first time wearing it and I think that I would wear Kurti again on any other day. Mine was so pretty at an affordable price. I bought it online since the physical store seems to be a lot more expensive and pricey. On that day, I saw a lot of kids wearing many types of traditional clothes. When I was a kid, I never had a chance to wear like this, so it was exciting to see those cute faces wearing various types of traditional clothes. Some wore sarees from Indian cuisine, cheongsam from Chinese, Iban, and even hanbok from Korea. It was exciting to s...

  HELLO! HELLO! Hello! Welcome back to Week 2 of my practicum journey at Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Maluri. As usual, for the first few weeks, I had nothing to do except sit and do nothing. While I was doing nothing, my mentor came to me, and guess what? I finally got my own timetable. My very first official class starts on 12 th September. I was excited and knew what to expect when I got into the class. I was prepared mentally and physically to lose my voice again the next day. The next day has come and here I am walking to the class. It was my minor subject class which is Art subject. When I entered the classroom, I was shocked and smiled. The kids are doing their homework! Silently! From that moment, I know that I will like this class so much. I let them do their work for 10 minutes. Then, I gave each of them a piece of sketch paper. I told them to draw anything on the paper. They did the work silently. 10 minutes before the class came to an end, a few pupils came to me and gave ...

 HELLO! HELLO! Assalamualaikum and hi everyone! My name is Balqis binti Zaiedi and this is my first entry of my practicum experience. After waiting so long for this day, the wait is finally has come to an end. I am supposed to start my practicum in August but due to some circumstances, my practicum has been delayed to 4 th September 2023. The first step is always the hardest. I was very nervous on the first day since I was not going to do my practicum with any of my friends or classmates. I walked into the office alone that morning feeling nervous and anxious. Since this is my first time going to a real school and teaching real kids, I have a lot of things going on in my mind. A lot of questions keep lingering inside my head and I don’t know what to expect. In my first week, I did nothing but greet the teachers and make new friends. I walked around the school to see the classes, toilets, fields, etc. On 7 th September 2023, I finally entered my first class! I have mixed feeling...
