WEEK 6 (9TH OCTOBER 2023 - 14TH OCTOBER 2023)

 

HELLO! HELLO!

Welcome to my week 6 of practicum at Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Maluri! Phew! Week 6 already? Time flies so fast. As for now, I feel comfortable walking into classes and interacting with kids and the teachers. It took me some time to feel this comfortable. So, this week, I think it is more challenging than the other weeks, why?

First and foremost, on Monday 9th and 10th October 2023, the place I lived in had no water supply. But, luckily I already prepared 2 buckets of water for preparation. I got to school clean and showered. Some people don’t get the notice and end up going to school without taking a bath.  On both of these days, I entered my class like usual and there was no special occasion happening.

Next, on 11th October 2023, the water supply is finally back. It was such a relief! Then, I entered 5 Sigma to start the learning. I asked them to write an email to their friends from another country. It was so difficult for them to brainstorm some ideas to create an email. I need to guide them from the start. They started to lose their focus in class. I need to remind them over and over to complete the essay. It was not a good experience.

On 12th October 2023, supposedly I got to enter 5 Sigma again but due to “Bahasa Melayu” Week, we did not have a class. Most of the pupils were in the foyer for the event. Some kids from my class also participated in the competition that was held by the school. There were poetry recitations, public speaking and many more. It was fun watching them in the foyer. We can see various types of pupils’ behaviours.

Next, on 13th October 2023, I participated in a camp as one of the facilitators. It was so much fun! There are a lot of fun activities that were prepared for the pupils. One of them is a traditional game that was played by Malaysians when we were still a kid.  It’s called “galah panjang”. I almost forgot how to play the game. Kids nowadays are not familiar with this game, so we need to explain to them how to play the game. They seemed to enjoy this game very much. We, the facilitators also enjoyed playing this game among us. On that day, all I do is laugh, laughing and laughing. There were a lot of funny incidents. I am still laughing whenever I think about it.

Lastly, on 14th October 2023, all schools in Malaysia celebrated Sports Day. This event started early at 8:00 AM until 12 in the noon. The school hired a few instructors from outside to conduct the aerobics session. After the aerobics session, we continued with the closing ceremony for “Kem Sahsiah Diri Anakku Sayang”. All the participants were happy and I hope they learned a thing or few from this camp.

 

Phew! Week 6 is finally done.

  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...

WEEK 1 (4TH SEPTEMBER - 9TH SEPTEMBER)

 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...
