week 3 in MRSMBPJ

This will be the third week blog since I first came here to MRSMBPJ. Last week was a relax week since the school was having monthly test for all forms. The first two days of the week were just the AB (Academic Buddy) days, where peers help each other in their learning process. During these two days, I was not much involved with the learning process but spending my time more in the stuffs room and helping other teachers with their work. The test started on Tuesday. Early morning,  I was assigned by one of the teacher together with my friend to do the PGG for form five and later I was assigned to look after a class for their test by my mentor. On Tuesday night, I had experienced different way of celebrating Eid. In Johor, they were having this tradition called Baraan (Marhaban) where in one session, there would be around six or seven houses involved with the celebration. I had never experience this kind of Eid before. This was a great opportunity to realize that despite I had experienced cross culture in NZ, there are lots more of culture in my own country that I have not had chance to experience yet. It was really fun. On Wednesday, I was once again assigned to look after a test at the main hall. I took this chance to get to know other teacher who was also assigned to look after the test. On the last day of the week, I was assigned to help the students’ culture event exhibition next Friday at UniKL. I was hoping to see how the exhibition goes. This week will be the activity week, and my friends and I had helped the teachers to do some activities for form 1 and 2 students. We planned to do The Amazing Race concept game, but named it as ‘Minion Rush’ as the students were so little and cute. There would be fun staff such as blow the balloon until it burst and they will find a piece of idiom where they have to match the given idioms with its meaning. The activities had been approved and I am so excited to see how it goes this Tuesday. I had also assigned to be the panel for mock interview for form five students. This is such a good exposure for me to see how it is done. I am looking forward for that, as we were given a file contains questions for students as well as a guideline for the interviewer. That is all about last week. Things went through pretty smooth for me here without any hassle.
