Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Hi, just wanna wish those of us who celebrate CNY, 新年快乐 and those of us who don't, happy holidays!

Enjoy the break people! I'm not sure when we'll meet again (probably Teachers' Day) so do take care, okay?

Two weeks have gone by ...

Hi everybody, two weeks have gone by ... so how are you getting on?

What CCA have you taken up? How are you getting along with your new classmates, new subjects, new teachers, new culture in the school? I sincerely hope all of you are getting on well.

Anyway for me, it's pretty hectic as usual. A new class (which I think they're pretty co-operative for now but I guess it's because it's still 'honeymoon period'), more responsibilities and some trouble at home which I rather not talk about it.

By the way I heard some want to drop by for the visit. For those who 'die-die' want to come, I think this Friday's fine but do note that Cedar won't be enjoying a half-day session as it's not CNY eve; regular school hours apply ... do buzz me if you're coming.

Take care and God bless!

A few requests

Hi, just want to make a few requests here ...

1. If you're planning to come back to Cedar Primary for a visit, please check with me before making the arrangement. The reasons being I could be and most likely will be busy (such meeting teachers, attending workshops, conducting sessions for pupils or teachers) in the afternoon. As such, I think it won't be pleasant for you (who have to travel all the way) and me (to steal time so that I can sneak out for a few minutes).
2. Next, even if you are coming back, the school and I will appreciate that you do not invite strangers, i.e. non-cedar pupils back. To me, this is the most basic form of respect to the school and also me. If you insist on doing so, I'm afraid to say you're not welcome.
3. Please do me a big favor by not giving away my mobile number to the current Cedar pupils; if not I may be forced to change to a new number which may make things even more inconvenient to you. My reason for doing so I want my privacy and space too. I seek your co-operation on this.
4. Finally, those of us who bought the Science booklets (the same ones which I made available to the class last year) and still have no idea what to do with it, can I ask you to pass them to me? I believe I will be able to put them into good use by sharing it with the P6 pupils of this year ... by the way, someone is still holding on to one copy of the booket and I'd really appreciate if you can return it to me ...

Tomorrow begins a brand new, full week for all of you. Choosing CCAs, new subjects, new teachers, new friends, homework ... I think you get the drift.

Brace yourself and happy learning!

Sleep early and all the best!

First of all, happy 2009!

Right now, I'm working on the guidelines for all the EL teachers and the list of things I want to do with P6-3 (2009). For the rest of you, I won't be surprised you'll it difficult to sleep early as in less than 8 hours time, you'll be finding yourself in your new school, full of excitement and anxiety. For me, it'll be the new class. I wonder how they'll respond to me for I know this one will be a different one ... just like every of my last three P6-3s were different.

Just be your friendly self, sportingly join in the orientation programmes and start making new friends ... you'll need one another in the days to come ... like what books to bring, what homework to do, where to hang out ...

I look forward to hear your first days experience ...

Take care people and you'll be missed!
