Third day in allocated Primary school!

Went into a class before the teacher came in.
"Are you the relief teacher? Come in! Sit sit! :D"
'Oh okay. :)'
"Can I go toilet?"
'Oh hurry up go...'
"Can we practise our song item later? We are going to have competition soon!"
'Oh. Sure, no problem. :)'
I was sitting behind the class minding my own business when the following incident happened.
P4 boy: "Teacher, nah, I give you this windmill."
Me: 'Uh, no I cannot take it...'
P4 boy: *beams. "No never mind la, just take it." *runs back to his seat.

And thus, I've the kNOw Drugs! gift.

Bought these yesterday, might give them as farewell gifts MAYBE.
They looked all so tempting.

Second day in allocated Primary School!

Attended staff meeting, it was supposedly my break time!
:(
Ended up with no break in between my lessons.
Only managed to eat after 3pm.

During a 1.5hr P2 observation class today, I sat beside this split class students (their teacher was absent)...
The spilt class students were supposed to do their own work.

Student A: Teacher! You are Miss or Mrs?
Me: Miss...
Student A: Oh! Then you don't have a baby!
Me: =_= ya...

(Random asking me on how to write Chinese characters.)

Student A: What company you working at?
Me: ...MOE?
Student A: As?
Me: Teacher, soon.
Student A: Oh. My mother also under MOE you know. She is an engineer.
Me: O_o okay...

(Random asking me on how to write Chinese characters again.)

Student A: You got travel to different countries? I got go to New York before! USA you got? Korea eh? That one I haven't go before...
Me: ...
Student B: You like what character in Disney?
Me: Huh?
Student B: I like Minnie!
Student A: I like Cinderella! You?
Me: Uhm. (THINK VERY HARD. I seriously can't think of any. So...) I like....Mickey.
Student A: You like the boy?
Me: UH, they are both mouse, same. I like them both.

(Random asking me on how to write Chinese characters again.)

Student B: 1 + 1 = ?
Me: 2?
Student B: Wrong! It's a window!
Me: =_=

After a while...
The teacher flashed a picture of a running hamster on the Powerpoint.
Student B: (turned around) You like hamsters? *point
Me: =_= yes... They are very cute.
Student B: I got 1 hamster!
Me: :)

5 minutes left...
Student A: What is your name?
Me: 许老师
Student B: 许 what what?
Me: (Must give them full name meh?) 许钏鸣
Student A & B: Oh... Where you live? Woodlands? We live at Street 12 (or something)!
Me: Street 31...
Student A & B: What block?
Me: ...why? You want to come and visit me is it?
Student A & B: *shake heads immediately.

FINALLY BELL RANG.
Student A: BYE 许老师! What class you going to teach ah?
Another friend of hers: Hurry go to next lesson la, stop talking to teacher liao.

In the Staffroom.
Teacher: Hey, wa sorry just now I couldn't rescue you from the split class students during lesson. I saw them keep pestering you, asking you questions. Haha, you can ignore them one.
Me: Haha, it's okay la. Never mind.

First day of School experience in my allocated Primary school!

I got a shock when I received my timetable for this week.
Click to enlarge.
I'm to report to school at 10am daily (yay!) and go home at 3+pm on average (boo!).
I totally envy those who can go home at 1+pm.
[Peisin, your timetable is so slack! I want! :(]
I think I've got both morning and afternoon session classes to observe.
[Why so hiong!, exclaimed Kahneng.]
I'VE JUST REALISED!
From the Practicum website, during Primary school observation, I'll be assigned approximately 20-24 periods.
I've got...30!
WAAAAA :(

And suayness ensued. I felt super unwell during my last observation class.
Broke out in cold sweat and had to ask for tissue from a cute and chubby girl sitting next to me. Can't imagine if I'm unwell since the first class.
Kahhern cabbed down immediately to send me home. :')
Really appreciated it a lot. THANKS KH. :D :D :D \o/
And I fell down while walking home. Totally in cui state. Boo.

Hmmm, I observed 3 classes today.
Not much interaction with the teacher and me during the lesson.
But of course, there were some instances.
In the first class, the teacher used me to form造句。
“许老师的笑容很亲切。”
*awkward smile.
...“我们问许老师看要不要扣你们组的分数!”
Suddenly all the students turned around and pleaded with me not to deduct.
“Erm.. 不要。”
See! I'm so nice.

In the second class, there were 2 of the NIE trainee teachers observing the same class.
The teacher asked 1 boy and 1 girl to模仿傲慢的语气。
But she asked us to decide who is the best.
To be fair, we both voted for the girl and guy respectively.
See, I'm so nice again.
I'm joking...

Can't remember anything during the third class.
Not paying attention. :/

Ah. I made an interesting observation: kids nowadays're getting bespectacled!
It's like 3 out of 5 students are wearing spectacles.
I know it's a problem, but I never knew it is that serious...
Haha, random.

Please let it be a better day tomorrow!
