Another Teacher Retires

For some "older" 6th Formers, Mr Chong Min Chin had taught them the subject of Further Maths. For some in the early 2000, Form 3 Science.
Today JitSin students bade him farewell, may he enjoy his retirement years free from the antics of Jitsin students in peace and happiness.

(note: we now use helicopter to send teachers off.... oops forget to tell the pilot where to put him down.. maybe in Afghanistan)

Researching the houseflies - first data

I got an interesting group for R&C which is researching on houseflies.. First clue of their findings

Not easy to get this information - as who can communicate with the houseflies

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.
