MY REFLECTIONS FOR THE FIRST SEMESTER

Hello everyone! I apologise for the late post. Below are my reflections for the first semester as well as my holiday plans.




Holiday Plans
Well, my family did not go overseas due to Influenza A H1N1. Instead we went for a programme in the Zoo and Night Safari called Sleep With The Beasts. (Those who read the Wildlife Wonders magazine should know what it is. ) Believe me, it is not called 'sleep with the beasts' for nothing, it is known that a cobra lives at the place we camped. The bad thing was that there was supposed to be a campfire but the fire blew out after less than a minute.



My Reflections For The First Semester

- The Class As A Whole
The class was really noisy at times and some of the boys loved to matchmake and I am not sure why. The thing is that they matchmake almost everybody but themselves! (Sorry if I offended anyone of you!)

- The classroom
I like the classroom as it is nicely decorated with posters, our individual and group work. I especially like the poster which stated: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

- The new things that got me interested
I am usually not very interested in art but I enjoyed doing the art piece where we used recycled cardboard to make a door hanger and a coaster.

- Mdm Lakshmi's teaching style
You could say that her teaching style is fun and scary. Fun as in learning things while cracking some jokes. Scary as in that spinning thing, (I kind of forgotten what it was called) because you would never know when you would get chosen. She also taught us visualisation and drawing arrows in the comprehension cloze section which I thought was quite useful. However, I would prefer Mdm Lakshmi to give us the answer first before we went back to do corrections so we can check if our corrections were correct.

- What else I would like to see for the next half of the year
I would like to see more interesting lessons and like to see myself improve as I did worse than I thought for SA1 Paper 2.
