SMILE. LAUGH. LOVE. Life would be dull without any of this. That is why I would like to share a poem I made for my lovely students. It is just the way of showing my LOVE towards them, and make them SMILE, even LAUGH; maybe. Enjoy!

Secondary Parody

Welcome to secondary,

We are as noisy as can be,

We rush and rush, and always in a hurry,

Please read all this and be our jury.

Let us start with the year seven,

Believe me, it's like seven eleven,

You are most definitely not in heaven,

And now that is all yet but proven.

Umar likes to talk,

And Luqman loves to walk,

Ilham is the rock,

While Zaim always mock.

The girls' are all the same,

As Nuha's quiet and tame,

While Iffah loves the game,

And Mariama likes the fame.

Year eight is not that great,

They sometimes come in late,

By noon they're tired and wait...

In class to hibernate.

Haziq is the daydreamer,

Muqri wants to be the winner,

While Hazim is the class leader,

And Asyraf is a good helper.

Hazem and Zakariyya are always together,

Talk, walk, mock, just like the mirror!

Their class is Oh! Such a bummer!

Oh boy, do they need a cleaner.

Number four is the last to go,

Four is enough, you don't need more,

Year nine is fun and never a bore,

Each year exams they definitely score.

Najihah is the quiet one,

While Riedha likes to have some fun,

Aida's mute when she's in front,

Muqaddas talks when she is done.

It doesn't matter if we're big or small,

Our names are plastered on the wall,

Now you have read about us all,

But please don't judge, we love them all.

*please bear in mind that this is for entertainment purpose only, thus the grammar is NOT an issue.

*secondary students, I would just like to inform you that this will be "plastered on your wall" SOON :)

READ....DON'T JUDGE....HAVE FUN....!

Assessment topics and 'plushies' :)

Dear students,

I apologise as I've not been able to post anything lately. I've been very busy. Today I would like to inform the topics that you have to revise for the upcoming assessments.

English S2: Please revise on your tenses, the cause effect pattern, and sentence connectors. Another important message, please make sure you do not use any shortforms or 'sms language' in your writing.

Geography S2: Do revision on Human Environment and Population. Focus an the meaning of the terms and InsyaAllah you'll be able to score marks.

I would just like to share some pictures taken during the 'girl's friday program' last friday. We learn how to make 'plushies' (small soft toy) using felt and cotton wool. The girls learn to sew simple things and we had so much fun, even the teachers :p

The equipments used.

In the making-the process: very focused :)

The result: It was suppose to be a bolster for her barbie doll, close enough? :)

The result: A keychain. Yeay!

The result: Teacher's??? :)

The example I showed them: My own car key keychain :)



 Have fun making your own 'plushies' at home and good luck in your assessments!! Gambate!

Fun Day!

Good Morning!

(Ohaiyo Gozaimasu!)

 

How is everyone feeling today? I am sure that most of you are tired due to our 'Fun Day' yesterday. It was fun, wasn't it? Well, I enjoyed myself honestly :) Skating isn't as easy as I thought. Training is required to skate like those people we see on TV. I learnt the hard way though :( Luckily I did not fall on my face :) My lovely students are really kind enough to teach me how to skate. Thank you everyone! It is really ironic because in class, I will teach you, but in the skating ring, you taught me instead :) Well, I do not have any pictures on the skating ring due to I was struggling to stand straight myself, let alone hold a camera! I'm sorry for that. I only managed to get these two pictures taken on the bus:

Tired, but happy faces on the way back to school :)

 

We still had a little time when we get back to school so I had a little story writing (continuous writing) with the secondary 2 students. What we have to do in a continuous writing is; firstly, the teacher will write a sentence on a piece of paper. Than the paper will be given to the students one by one to continue the story, and back to the teacher, and the whole round repeats until the story is completed. Finally, teacher will read the story out loud so students could get the whole picture and understand it. The stories can be long or short, depending on the flow of ideas from everyone. This activity is really fun and students could write down their ideas and be creative. You can try this at home and write a story among your siblings. It will be fun. Happy writing!

English Tenses

Hey everyone!

I am sorry if it took me sooooo long to update . I have been very busy lately. Just for your info, last week I did on tenses with my secondary students. I know it is easy but it is just a recap from the previous years to make sure everyone understands it well. I have put everything in the simple table below. Kindly read and see me if you have any inquiries. Since I have put it in a very simple way, even the primary students can learn this. Happy learning everyone!

Tenses	Statements	Questions	Notes
Simple Present ( talk about the present)	1. I read a book. 2. He has a book.	1. Do you like to read? 2. Does he walk to school?	* use the simple form of a verb: eat, drink, talk, etc.
Present Continuous (talk about what is happening at the moment)	1. I am talking. 2. They are walking. 3. It is eating.	1. Am I replacing him? 2. Are we making this? 3. Is it raining?	* use the ‘be’ + verb and add  ‘-ing’: is walking,  am talking, are taking, etc.
Simple Past (talk about actions that happened at a definite time in the past)	1. I walked to school. 2. He swept. 3. They wrote it.	1. Did you walk to school? 2. Did he sweep? 3. Did they write it?	* usually add ‘-ed’ at the end of the word: talked, walked, etc. (regular verbs) * (irregular verbs): write=wrote, sweet=swept, etc. * for questions, do not use past tense for the verb as we already have the word 'did'
Past Continuous (talking about an activity in the past)	1. They were talking to me. 2. It was raining. 3. He was running.	1. Were they talking to me? 2. Was it raining? 3. Was he running?	* use the ‘be’+ past tense of a verb: was talking, were walking, etc.

Will they come?	*add the word ‘will’ in front of the verb: will go, will take, etc. *for questions, use shall if the subject is ‘I’ or ‘we’

 

Multiracial = Multilingual

Living in a multiracial country like Malaysia gives us the advantage of learning so many beautiful languages. The most common languages would be malay, chinese, indian and english. Today I added another language to the list for my students. Japanese! Well, I am not a native speaker myself, but I did learn it once during my student years. So for those who missed the class, these are simple sentences that you could learn:

 

Hajimemashite. (Nice to meet you.)

Watashiwa Farah Hanisah desu. (My name is Farah Hanisah.)

Farah to yonde kudasai. (You can call me Farah.)

Subang Jaya kara kimashita. (I live in Subang Jaya)

Yoroshiku onegai shimasu. (Thank you in advance/ Nice to meet you.)

 

Now, try to replace the bold words with your own.

 

Fun isn't it? Gambate! (All the best)

 

Below is just a picture taken today of students at swimming class. They had lots of fun that I felt like jumping in myself :P

 

 

Tune in for more updates!

Recycle!

 

Dear All,

 

Recycle! What is recycle? Well, to me it means reuse. We have to reuse things to decrease the amount of rubbish we make everyday. By recycling, we could save lots of things. For example, if we throw used papers in the recycling bin instead of the dustbin, we might be saving trees from being cut down. Imagine if we use 10 pieces of paper a day, that will come up to 50 pieces a week (school days only). We could be using 2000 pieces of paper a year! That is only for 1 student. If there are 100 students in 1 school? How many school do we have in Malaysia? MashaAllah. What we could do for a start is write on both side of papers instead of only one. We could cut the use of papers by half. Less trees will be cut down to provide for our daily paper needs. So, let us all try and save our dear mother earth, let's RECYCLE!
