Sewing leaves

Interesting way to show your soft skills or sew your heart greenly.

Best 12 Metal Memorisor

The champion is

Taekwondo Competition

Some members took part in the Penang Open Taekwondo Competition. Interesting to see some small kids bashing each other out.
I hope the F6 guys/gals got any medals.

Our coach Mr Pang acts as a jury and our secretary his assistant

The Chairman in action - and she won

Quadrate sampling

How many plants? How can I know? What is cover? or density?
Interesting quadrates invented by the students.

Kind person and I (the dog)

In conjuction with the Care the Environment, the sharing attitude is shown by Mr Lee and his dog

Soil analysis

Armed with hammers and tins (big and small), the lower sixers attack their sites hoping to dig up some valuable gemstones.

Silly TCK, only to find soil and sands.

   

AGM Kelab Taekwondo T6

 

Today marks the end of the Co-curricular activity for Upper 6 Taekwondo members and the beginning of the Lower 6ers with the selection of new set of AJKs.

The U6 AJK had done a good job in running this Kelab, thank you very much to the Chairman, VC, Sec and the rest of the Exco members.

I hope that the new AJK will carry on the good work and make this kelab a success.

Lab work

Going to burn the lab down - or her tie is going to go up in flame

Science is fun when there is lab work, but you will have to learn what you are doing.

Otherwise, it is nothing more than waste of time and money.

See last year post

Building New Home

A good chance for measuring the school ground. Interesting.
They also did this in 2008 (click link)

Marking their territories

How long is a catwalk alley?

Oh! This must be a precious stone - that's why the girls are so happy

Stone markers and they are still marking

Test or Quiz

All the energy concentrated in the hall - no wonder it is hot there la

Faces of the ExaMachines.... which is the best suited?

Real quiet in Jit Sin - like a ghost town. Why? It's exam time.....

Test or quiz which is more fun?t

New Taekwondo Coach

Today we have Mr Selvarajah with us for the taekwondo training. This will be the last time for the Upper Sixes for the training.
Next week will be the AGM.

New coach Mr Selvarajah teaching the Taekwondo Club members some moves

Practice or photo shots? Pity the coaches

Houseflies Cockroaches and Mosses

Lower Sixes torturing the cockroaches and houseflies?

Mosses or searching for gold?

Catching the houseflies - easy?

Different techniques and odd places - the dustbin - never think about that

And this is the horrible one - torturing the cockroaches

Teacher's Day celebration?

Today is the school teacher's day (minus the HM and a number of teachers and students as they in Shanghai for the orchestra).

What's to celebrate (after almost a month overdue)?

Play games - more students than teachers la
Go listen to concert? Either you watch a jumping up and down dance or listen to old men singing - not like we had superstars invited for this day

Then a Malay or vegetarian lunch (budget RM5 meal) - we use to have Eden Buffet Lunch until the old HM (Mr Yong) retired.

And half of the school population is not even here

Shih! What to celebrate?

Bring back (or is there any) Class Party - My Teacher's Day in school is remembered because of the Class parties that we had and the happiness and smiles of the teachers coming to eat our food.

What Jit sin's students had missed all this while

Spring cleaning

As usual, the second day of the semester 2 saw JitSinians swapped their thinking cap with the "kakak's" apron and broom to sweep clean??? the school. God had been kind to us this time as it pours cats and dogs yesterday so it is quite clean already.
The Lower Six Biology 2 class is given the task to clear the lab and we managed to throw away 6 bagful of old insect boxes and herbarium sheets.
So the seniors who want to take back their insect coffins or herbarium sheets, please come to school before next week as we will recycle and reuse the boxes.

New Head Blocks

New extension of the school office and maybe more rooms for Head teachers. Maybe bigger Discipline Room.

First Aids Anybody

Jit Sin Teachers learning how to become a First Aider. Blowing in the Little Annie is one of the training.

Got class, got name

Lower Six students doing taxonomic work in groups.

Discussing how to do dichotomous key

Each group are given 14 species of "sockrates" and
the tasks are

1. Name the species
2. Make a dichotomous key
3. Construct a dendrogram
4. Construct a cladogram

Naming the "animals" - even had to look into the dictionaries

Impact of ICT in Classroom at RECSAM

Three of us, Mr Goay, Pn Chua and I attended a colloquium about the impact of ICT in the Classroom by one Dr Jon Price from INTEL Corporate Affair Group at RECSAM. The colloquium lasted about an hour. I learn about the commitment of INTEL in Education.

Flowers Day

The yearly flower mutilating Day had arrived for the form 3 students

Swim or drive

New skill for teachers: Try driving through ankle-high level of water.

Teachers Day - Happy?

Almost forget today is Teachers Day. Nothing about it in the TV or the supermarket. Only Mother's Day offer ... what the taukehs do not have teachers in their life. Just to show how insignificant are their teachers. Got la celebrations but in Ministry level and pity those teachers forced to volunteer to attend the ceremony. At least declare tomorrow as a holiday mah...

Received a nice poem from Mr Lee Chiah Kuen

Teachers are
like rainbows - they colour the sky
like rain that soak the earth giving life to the greens
like the air that we breath and warm sunlight on our skin
like the shining stars plastered across the black velvety universe
and like beautiful flowers that bloom with each new day.
Teachers are indeed very special people
That's what you and I are

Thanks Mr Lee, but I had another version that sounds like this

Teachers are
like rainbows - they give you false hope (say that there is pot of gold at the end of the rainbow)
like rain that soak the earth drowning the creativity in you with rules and regulation
like the air that we breath that pollutes and clouded the mind with syllabus and formula
like the shining stars that are not bright enough to light up your life
and like beautiful flowers that will wilt and would not last a day
Now, are Teachers that really special?
Well, we still need them as punching bags and spring boards
to be left behind after we had leaped to our successes
That's what you and I are

CK back to school

CK back for a visit today from NUS.
Misses the DK3 (the place where the great CFu once teach)

Kyeongre

Last day for taekwondo practise for Upper Sixes. We will be waiting for the Lower Sixes next semester.

The Beginning of The Greater Struggle???

Lower Sixes registering happily in the hall

First Day for the Lower Sixers, so happy so energetic, so enthusiastic, so fresh ... well see how many will still remain these ways in the next 15 months after being put in the STPM pressure cooker - baked, fried and grilled.. :)

Chipmunk Bad day

Finally I managed to upload the theme song of this blog... whew what a bad day trying. Had to do this since the JITSIN had "banned" all youtube and facebook sites from being accessible in school.

As a matter of fact, all the music, video and software download sites are banned for students as well as teachers.

Talking of moving forward in ICT, hoh!!!

But to think of it, this is a challenge to the students to go around the blockage and in no time I believe the blockage will be torn down like the Berlin Wall. Unless JitSinians already become so ExaMachine that they no longer had any "liau" anymore.
