So today's the first day that I interact with my pupils. I have to say that I kept on going up and down the stairs to my classroom which are situated quite far from each other. Being assigned to the second class of the year, it sure brings out the challenge in me.
Did my usual proficiency test for year 4 pupils that my friends and I made during our session in School Based Experience session and it comes as no surprise when all of the pupils did not manage to answer it correctly. The good thing for that test, seems to me that the pupils have problems in their handwriting and spelling. Good, at least I get to identify some of that. Even though their vocabulary are limited, they understand simple instructions better.
For year 2, I have to say that it is going to be tough, but it's okay. As long as they are able to identify the numbers in numeral and word form, it's fine. Though I managed to stumble upon the word two-ty and ten-ty (which in their opinion stood for one hundred). Need to do lots of drilling.
And the ever sweet year 1. I bet you remember our primary school time when we were taught to say "Please teacher, may I go out?" before going to the loo, hehe. Well that was what I taught them today, other than the proper greetings for teachers and alphabets. Sure brought out the smile out of the passer-by outside the class. But one thing that I feared most for the year 1 pupils that they kept on leaking like a faucet. I mean in an hour there were more than a handful of pupils who had to go to the loo with a strangled face trying to remember the request in English. I'm sure that none of the teachers would want to have a leaking tank or a trail of... junk during their class *shivers*
Tomorrow is just another day.
