Breakfast wz My Teachers

When I was checking my pictures folder, I realized that I have not posted a couple of pics. Here are the pics taken during Breakfast wz My Teachers.

Well, that session was pretty low-key and quiet. Everybody was having their breakfast quietly in their own little corners.

Since all of you will be separated in Sec 3, we'll have a more 'kababoom' breakfast end of the year alright!!! hehe

Enjoy the pics!

The sweet, shy gals..hehe

The noisy gang!

Captain's Ball

I think the girls played really well this afternoon...*applause*... We won two matches and the other one was a draw. I was told there's another round on Monday.

All the best girls! You can do it! Do 2e1 proud!

$$$$$

I was just informed of the amount of $$ each stall earned during the Charity Bazaar and guess what????? We earned the most!!!! $782!!!! Woohoo!! Most of the stalls earned $200-$400++ so we earned quite a sum!!!

And that figure is reflective of all your hard work and sweat! All of you worked really hard and I hope you feel proud of yourself. One thing for sure, I am proud of all of you!! What's more, like I said earlier, it's all for a good cause...

So 3 cheers for 2E1!! Hip Hip Hurray!!

Charity Bazaar

I know I have not posted anything for over a month now. Sorry ok, I have been really busy. I'm supposed to give Diyana the password so that she can post entries. Diyana, please remind me to give you the password so that you can address the class or you can post important information if I am too busy to do so.

OK, I hope all of you had fun yesterday. I was too busy to count the $$ but I think we earn quite a bit. It's ok if we do not earn the most but it's the whole learning process that counts (like what Siew Huey said). I hope you learn something from this charity bazaar. It's not easy to earn $$ right? We have to do some serious planning and work really hard to promote and sell our stuffs. It requires hard work indeed...

But I am so happy to see everybody working really, really hard and working well as a team too. That's most important. You guys were running around to get 'customers' and promote our stuffs and I see some shouting away to grab the attention of the 'customers'. Even those who had to help out at their CCA stations, worked really hard. Indeed, you worked hard from the beginning till the end...err...although most were slacking during the clean-up session... but then again, I understand, most of you were tired by the end of the bazaar.

Well, here are the pics we took. Again, thank you for working so hard. I am super, super proud of all of you! And remember, everything that we did is for a good cause. Good job!!!!!

PS: A special thank you to the parents who sponsored and prepared food for the bazaar.... Jerrold's dad for the hair products, Faiqah Banu's parents for the pasta and tuna and Fadhilah's mum for the jellies. And thank you to the parents who came and support us too... I saw Kareema's mum, Corn's family, Umaimah's family, Faiqah Banu's family, Fadhilah's mum.. (I hope I don't miss anybody out)... Thank you for all the help and support!!!

Wesley, the walking ad

New Timetable

Hey there 2E1ers! Hope you've all had a wonderful holiday! I must say that I really enjoyed mine even though I do not have much of a holiday due to work commitments. Well, whatever time I have is spent with my superactive boy and I'm glad at least I get to bond with him for a couple of days!

Anyway, school starts tomorrow! I know most of you are going.... Arggghhhhh!! But well, life goes on, you can't expect the holidays to go on forever right??!!! hehe...

So, here's the new timetable that will start tomorrow. If you don't see this on time, don't fret, I'm sure the teachers understand that you don't have the new timetable and will prepare something for you on the first day.

I'll see you tomorrow then!! TTFN!

PS: Thank you to everybody who turned up for the class movie outing. A special big thank you to Bella for organising the outing! I simply luv Kungfu Panda!! Haiyak!!!!

Mr Soh's message:

Hey guys and girls. I'm sorry i don't have the final courage to bid you all farewell. Hope you all will forgive me. I'm an emo teacher and i don't want to affect your area cleaning or whatever you were assigned. Please take good care of yourselves and don't give up in your studies. Help me tell the class that I actually miss them more than i appear and i will never forget you all. Thanks for the unforgettable experience and i wish you all the best in the future. I shall continue to stay strong and treasure what sight i have left.


this is actually from a text message that he had sent it to me, as well as some others. i decided to put it in the class blog for the others to see it.
siewhuey.

Updates

First of all, let me just say that I am soooooooo happy and proud that all of you make the effort to assemble early at the parade square. Good job!! Keep it up!! Did you see my wide smile and beaming face these two days?? Hehe...

You have two more papers to go so all the best ya!!!! After your exams, we will discuss about having a class outing during the June hols ok.

As for your class tees, I have approached several vendors and I am waiting for the quotations so hopefully we can get it done soon.

OK, before I go, a reminder to those who have not submitted the travel declaration forms. I need the forms TOMORROW!! Don't forget!

Good luck for your last two papers!

Bonding Session (BS)

Like I mentioned last Friday, we shall have some time to chit chat and discuss certain issues every Friday. I want to call this period Bonding Session or BS because like I mentioned, I am seldom in the class and I would really like to find out what's going on in the class. So do raise any concerns that you may have and we will talk about it. But don't expect me to bring pizzas every Friday. Once in a while I will give you all a treat ok. So again, don't treat this session as a chore but rather, a period for all of us to bond and raise our concerns.

I will raise two issues this Friday :

1) class tees - we will try and finalise design and colour. If you have your own designs in mind, do bring them and show us. I myself will bring one design to show you.

2) target for SA1 - we will discuss about class target and the treats awaiting you after exams..hehehe

And if you have any other issues, let me know ok! So, don't forget our BS this Friday!

Your concerns

I am glad that you are voicing your opinions and thoughts via the tagboard. Through the tagboard, I will be able to know your concerns regarding certain issues. I also hope that you will come and talk to me if you have any concerns or problems. We can try and work something out. A reminder though, I hope you will not start pointing fingers. For example, what makes you think that Mrs Mohinder is the one who came up with rules that you must clear your tables or that the doors must be locked immediately after the last period of the day?

Regarding the 'leaving the books under the tables' issue, like I mentioned earlier, it is part of the school rules that you must not leave anything under your tables. Please refer to the students' handbook under Class Regulations (Number 11). It is your responsibility to bring your books to school and back home thereafter. I mean, how do you study without your books?

Actually, I think that you have been 'too pampered' all this time and some of you even tend to chuck ALL your books under the tables. And I am not making stories ok! I have checked one of the 2E1er's bag before and was shocked to find a pencil case and maybe a t-shirt inside. NO BOOKS AT ALL! So where do you think were the books? Under the table of course! I am aware that not everybody is like this but some of you were taking advantage of the situation.

I remember when I was in secondary school, I had to carry big, bulky books too. Some books were even much thicker than yours! I remember carrying my big and thick Biology book to school and not to mention heavy books like Geography and History books too. This is part of school life. Some students are privileged because their schools are equipped with lockers. But most schools, like ours, are not, so we must adapt to the situation. And I think that it is part of character building. If you are letting a small issue such as bringing books to school affect or worry you so much, then I don't know how you are going to overcome other bigger problems that will come your way as you grow. Do think and reflect on this.

We have discussed about this last Friday and I have already agreed to help you out with the files. Again, you can place your subject files in the cupboard but do make sure the files are arranged neatly. Also, do let me know too if you need to keep things in there on a temporary basis, for example, if you have a project and you want to keep them in there for a few days until the presentation. But you must clear them as soon as the presentation is over. And do remember that you must get permission from me first.

So do give me feedback regarding this and before I end, I would like to thank Matthew and Wesley again for helping me tidy the cupboard and clear the stuffs under the tables last Friday. But it is your duty to make sure your own table is tidy and neat. Remember, your table tells a lot about your character! ;-)

Class Tees

First of all, let me apologise for the absence of entries. I have been telling myself to post more entries but am currently bogged down by so much work that I couldn't find the time to do so. My sincerest apologies.

I can see that you have been discussing about class tees. Once the design has been finalised, do let me know and I'll source out for vendors. Jaslyn, if you need help with the design, let me know ya and do keep me updated.

Btw, I have a suggestion.... You can also have all the names of the 2E1ers at the back, don't have to be full names, nicknames are fine too. Then years down the road, when you look at the tee again, you can recall everybody in the class (with much fondness, I hope). By printing the names, it makes the tee more 'personalised' too. Do give feedback regarding this.

Before I end, here is an important reminder:

As mentioned by Mrs Lee the other day, you are NOT ALLOWED to keep your books under your tables. Please clear your tables daily. I will do spot checks and if any books are spotted under the tables, I will confiscate those books. The classroom is not a storeroom and it is your responsibility to bring your books back.

Thank you!

Parent-Teacher Dialogue Forms

For those who have not given me the forms, the deadline is tomorrow. I need the forms tomorrow so that I can arrange the appropriate time to meet all the parents. Thank you.

Regarding PW, 6 more groups will be presenting on Thursday. Please make sure that your presentation files are in order. I will also collect all the PW files this Thursday so please make sure everything is in order and arranged nicely. There will be no extensions. Those who wish to submit earlier are welcome to do so.

OK, see you tomorrow!

Good job, BOYS!

I am EXTREMELY happy with the boys for assembling at the parade square early today! Good job, boys!! Do keep up with the good work, ok!!!

So girls, you have to buck up a bit yeah... ;-)

IMPORTANT REMINDER!

Last Friday, right after the parade, an announcement was made by Mrs Mohinder Singh, regarding the switch of periods on Monday (18/02/08) and Tuesday (19/02/08). From what I gather, most of you did not hear the announcement (especially those involved in the parade) so I want to remind you of the switch.

On Monday, the last two periods, that is the RISE periods will be switched with Tuesday's periods 3 and 4. That means, on Tuesday, for periods 3 and 4, you will have RISE instead of the usual subjects that you have.

To simplify, on Monday, your last two periods will be Home Economics and Music. And on Tuesday, you will not have Home Economics and Music for periods 3 and 4, but instead, you will have RISE. Those who are reading this message, please remind your other friends of the change. Thank you!
