Fourth Week of the Holidays

How time flies! With a wink of my eyes, this is already the fourth week of the June vacation. I recalled the time that I waited for this vacation to come. This week was a busy week for me. My schedule, for this week, was very packed. I had to plan all my programmes and activities carefully.

I spent this week to finish up my projects. I finished the most interesting one of my projects. It was the DV Campus. We had to record one of the school events. Initially, we wanted to film the STAR Programme. However, we realised that the Ideas Day was coming. We were fortunate that everyone was free on that day. After much consideration, we chose that day because this event was a very meaningful one.

It was a time when teachers share on innovative teaching and learning practices, pedagogical content knowledge and creative projects. The school had also cordially invited parents to join them. It was meant to strengthen their partnership with them by providing an opportunity for parents to understand the school commitment in providing an engaging, creative and innovative learning environment.

In line with our school’s theme (Bridging Gaps) this year, teachers had prepared projects and lectures based on that theme. It was meant to better engage pupils with quality learning experiences. Teachers share with everyone on how they had conducted their lessons and explaining to the parents on their teaching methods. After each sharing session, the teachers involved would ask for feedbacks and areas of improvement.

Due to time constraint, we stayed for a few sessions and went off to edit our video. Although we had stayed for a short period of time, we could still take lessons from the sharing sessions. We realised that the teachers had been putting in a lot of effort to put us on the right track. Therefore, I feel that we should not take things for granted and treasure what we have now.
