Bio Talk @Sekolah Sri Garden

Twice post phoned.... one date after another, finally I was able to make it to Sekolah Sri Garden...one of the private school in Kuala Lumpur..

..The audience is still as usual~ a group of Malaysian Students who want to score A+ for Biology, who are hunting for tips and guidelines as how to go about scoring A+ Biology in their coming SPM examination....

And for the whole of two-hour Talk, they listened, they asked questions, they gave answers...well....its hard to keep them awake though...because it was between 1.30 noon until 3.30 pm...(at that hour!!)

Anyway, I'm glad I finally did it....and ended the Talk with that simple photograph session with everyone...so that I can publish it to my blog to be shared !!

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR SPM GUYS..

Updating Bio Files

...Upon completing their Diagnostic Test yesterday, all form 4 Helpilia girls (The only form 4 class I'm teaching this year ) are next busy updating their Biology Files......

Been so busy with 'the first come first', I finally decided to check on their Files...which by right should contain all the 'stuff' related to Biology: Notes, module, exercises, Test papers etc...etc.....

...and I spare them one teaching period to update their Files.......while they were busy updating, I was busy giving instructions and stealthily snapping photos using my handphone camera...

...Engrossed...and trying to produce the best...Among seen were Teh, Amirah, Airina, Dayana, Hamiza, Basyirah, Fadhilah, Wong, Nurkamilah, Zuraini, Tan, Alya....

Prefects Installation Day

Its a short and sweet ceremony..... the handling over of the headgirl post to a new elected headgirl...and the commitee members too...And officially, the seniors can call it a break from some responsibilities in order for them to focus on their coming SPM examination....
Well...talking about the school prefects......they have done a lot to the school...I mean helping the teachers to manage some of the issue.....and these prefects have managed everything well for two years of their service....
They have developed the qualities of a good leader...and hope the training will always be in them no matter where they go and what they do.....On behalf of the school...thanks a million for the service rendered!!

The new prefects are in pink!

Jasa Bonda

When my sis posted the video of the song 'Jasa bonda' to our FB Family Group, it somehow clicked into my mind that I once liked the song...very much.....the melody, the lyric...is so beautifully written and it touches !
...and when my sister wrote that it is my mum's favourite and I wanna claim that its mine too....and I post it to my FB and dedicate to all my children to open up their eyes...AND I feel like sharing it to my blogspot too...for every children...
Happy Listening...

Under One-Roof: A special programme

This so called Under-One-Roof, is our school special programme which is found to be one of the contributing factors to the SPM examination excellent achievement for the past two years........The programme is all about 'mentoring' ...and as for Biology : Syafaf is the Biology department Mentor..

..and this evening... it is Biology turn........An hour slot between 3.30-4.30 pm was filled up with 'the mentoring' activities where in each class, two mentors (who are selected based on their achievements in the examination) conduct the discussion. Question papers were distributed earlier for them to try out and The answers for the questions were discussed thoroughly until everybody in the group were clear about the subject..

...And ...I chosed to visit class by class...to make sure everything went smoothly..

And all of them were engrossed with the revision since there is not much time left for them in the preparation for SPM Trial examination (scheduled on the 3rd August )..

Happy revising girls...

Kursus Peningkatan Pedagogi Guru2 Bio KL

After meeting twice to discuss the approach for that course, finally it was held on thursday, concurrently with seminar for students...Well, it was a bit rush because it was not like we have planned earlier : 2 days for teachers and 2 days for students....Many limitations came last minute and caused it to be finally done in a simplified version...All cramped up to ONE day course...

Seven of us, Guru Cemerlang Biologi Kuala Lumpur, first time working as a team: Marhamah, Nik, Hasnani, Chan, Tuan Normah and Rohaizan..preparing materials to be shared and we have decided to copy it to CD and sell it for RM5.00 (to raise our GC Bio fund ).

We have done our best to share with teachers within a limited time given. As for me, I will surely need more time than that to really share.....but at least I am happy to share my blogspot , http://gempurbio.blogspot.com/ with them...so that we can communicate....even after the course has over.

What a relief...now that one more event has over...And there are many more in a row waiting for me to tend to......I guess I m already well adjusted to these packed scheduled....one after another.....I call it adaptation !.***Sigh

Anugerah Seseri

A beautiful morning....again during the Monday morning assembly, awards were given by the school...to those who excel in the recent examination...As usual: The Principal read out the names, mentor teachers gave away certificates.....

Well....again, my mentees: Midhtra, Izleana and Irdina...back on stage to claim certificates....YES...they are the potentials....consistent flyers........and I'm proud of them..Not only excel in curriculum, but in cocurriculum too.....Wish more girls are like them....

Hari Interaksi Akademik

It was on saturday.....the day of Hari Interaksi Akademik , which ended after a long hours...for us, especially elective subjects teachers: Bio, Phy, Chem and Add Math...Parents came flocking to our room and took turns by taking numbers....Discussion after discusssion...INTERAKSI AKADEMIK........
..And I was one of those who gained the most attention...from parents who want their girls to excel and score A in Bio....
Among the parents were : Midhtra's mum, Irna's mum, Siti Hajar's dad, Alya's mum, Dayana's mum...Majority were MUMs....(^_~)

..From 8.00 am to 5.00 pm...What a hectic day...Back home terus cari katil....Its tiring...talking and trying to make sense of what are our department strategies to help their girls to succeed....BUT still the rest we leave it to the girls to fight the battle.......

As for us (Bio Department teachers )...we definitely will give our best to the girls...the subject...the school ! SCORE A+ BIO...

Durian Fiesta @ seseri

When a lorry of durians drove into the school compound @ about 1.00 pm , the smell filled up the school air.....it reached the top floor where I was discussing over Bio Sample papers with 5 Adioda and 5 Bakerara girls....Spontaneously, all rushed to the class windows in search for the 'familiar' smell...

....and @ 3.15 pm, the fiesta started at Dewan Graha Puri ( Dewan makan hostel )......Durians were sponsored by Datuk Halim , one of the PTA commitee member from Pahang...So it is durian Pahang.... Fresh and Free....so no one can resist!!

Plus bubur kacang durian prepared by dewan makan boss....yess....perfectly matched...and we have had a great time together ( Teacher, staff and students )....and the event brings us together..even closer!

..Thank You Datuk Halim..for making it a Day......(May Allah bless you and ur family)....Another wonderful day and memorable one for seseri girls....something to be cherished when they leave school !!
