Last Day at Work

Finally. I have cleared 10 weeks of practicum. It was a bittersweet day. It was kind of sad knowing that I won't be going back to the same school again.

On Thursday, the trainees in my school went for a celebration dinner at Sakura Restaurant.



Looking at the pictures, I realised that we represent a multi-cultural group. Keke.


On the last day itself, I actually end work at 3pm because I had a supplementary lesson with my P5s. I will really, really, really miss teaching them. Although they are a noisy and handful bunch, they are really nice kids and very responsive in lessons. I love teaching children who are responsive and who really take interest in the subject.

At the end of the lesson, they surprised me by giving me cards and gifts! I didn't tell them I was leaving because I didn't want them to spend time and money making things for me. Turned that their form teacher informed them a few days ago. Looking at the cards, I was so happy and touched. One of the girls actually teared a little and was caught by her friends. Made me held back my tears too.

Most of the cards were from my P5s. Made me laughed when they said they enjoyed my M&Ms activity for teaching ratio. I made them swallowed ALL the M&Ms within 5 seconds because I was rushing for time. They enjoyed that part most. Haha!


During lunch, I went to the canteen to buy food. Suddenly, my P6s surrounded me and gave me this huge pot of flowers. They cheered and shouted in the canteen. I was so surprised!! I only met them twice a week for Social Studies and I am ashamed to say that I do not know most of them well. Yet, they bought flowers for me. So sweet.


Their form teacher, who is also my CT, gave me this. And I only gave her a stalk of sunflower.

My English CT is on long term MC so I didn't get to see her and thank her personally one last time. Haiz. She bought me this Molton Brown shower gel.



My School Coordinating Mentor gave me this.



2 adjunct teachers (retired teachers but who are still working) gave me this necklace to thank me for helping them with the IT stuffs. I am writing an IT Manual for them. Haha!




I am such a lucky girl to have such wonderful CTs, colleagues and students. But my fate with them ends on Friday and now, a new school with a new bunch of people are waiting for me to join them. Hope that my experience there will be equally great and fulfilling. If not, even better.
