WEEK 2 (11TH SEPTEMBER - 15TH SEPTEMBER 2023)

 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 12th 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 their drawings. They drew me! I was touched and so happy. They told me to not lose the paper. Yes! I won’t and I promise. But, you know that every happy thing also comes to an end. I don’t teach the class anymore. My timetable was changed because it was too dense. 4 Gamma, I am going to miss all of you!

On 13th September, the school had a sports day rehearsal. I joined the kids at the field. I was on the Temenggung (green) team. I watched them marching and running across the field under the sun. It was bloody hot but the kids’ determination in sports can’t be stopped. They are as strong as ever when it comes to sports. They are unstoppable!

On the next day, the school conducted a farewell event for two teachers who were going to leave SK Taman Maluri and got change to another school. Though I was new and still getting to know each teacher in the room, I knew that these two teachers were great teachers. Some of the pupils even cried on that day. Many presents and gifts were given as something to be remembered by the teachers. This showed how precious and great teachers are to the pupils.

On the last day of my third week, I wore ‘baju kurung’ feeling girly and pretty. Little did I know, there was still sports day rehearsal on that day. I was assigned to be at the running lapse to find a winner. I was sweating a lot. Just imagine, wearing ‘baju kurung’ in very hot weather. I wish that I didn’t wear ‘baju kurung’ on that day!

 

Just like that, my second week of practicum ended.


My first official class! Art class with 4 Gamma! Very well-behaved kids <3

  HELLO! HELLO! Welcome to my week 13! Which means I still have another week to survive from practicum! I am so excited to finish practicum but also sad at the same time because I need to leave these precious kids. I didn’t expect to have such a great time with them! they treated me with love and the class was so fun. I also got a few small gifts from them. I will keep it with me forever. On 27 th November 2023, I entered 3 Gamma and got a biscuit, jelly and keychains. I asked them why they gave me these. They said because they just wanted to with very cute faces. I received their gifts with open heart. Next, on 28 th November 2023, Massimo came to our school. Everyone got 3 bread each including teachers and pupils. But, I got 7 breads on that day. Why? I received 4 breads from my pupils. I refused to take it from them but they insisted. I can’t do anything but to receive them because I was in the middle of class. I also got to monitor 6 Alfa class since they were on examinat...

 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...

WEEK 3 (18TH SEPTEMBER - 23RD SEPTEMBER)

  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...
