Thank you and God Bless you
21april - a new experience
The day began with me trying to find my directions to XXX Primary School. It was a 15min walk from the MRT station. It wasn’t hard to find my way there, because i basically just followed behind the students. It was a short wait at the General Office before some teacher came to brief me. It wasn’t a detailed briefing, since assembly was starting soon. It’s been a rather long time since I sang the National Anthem and recited the Pledge. Haha and it just reminds me of my primary school days.
Lesson started immediately. P5 Eng, and I was just given a handout last minute. I merely asked them to copy some points down and they complained. Pampered kids! Everything must photostat! And they insisted that they bring their work back home to do! Then I had to take some music lessons for P1 and P2 classes. Oh well, some classes are more well-behaved than others. It’s nice hearing a group of P1 P2 girls singing songs aloud, it’s enjoyable. Amidst the lessons were funny incidents like helping some girls find their shoes, their locker keys, their wallets.
The teachers there are really helpful. Perhaps they are used to seeing relief teachers around. It’s tough being a primary school teacher. Experienced ones know how to control their students. Given a choice, I would prefer to relief teach at higher levels. However, it was still an enjoyable first hand experience.
"Thank you and God Bless you."
