MONDAY, 27TH MARCH 2023

Welcome back to my blog. It is week 8 today, and I started off my Monday with some gloomy news. Ustaz Husni, the senior affairs assistant at the school, is retiring today, and Puan Fatimah informed all the teachers via a Telegram message. The first teacher I was greeted by on the first day of my practicum was Ustaz Husni, therefore it was quite sad to hear about his retirement. We began the day by honoring Ustaz Husni's retirement. At SMK Bayan Lepas, Ustaz Husni, a teacher and senior affairs assistant, shared his perspective on what it's like to be in that position. During the ceremony, the teachers and students gave gifts to Ustaz Husni. Following the ceremony, I met with Form 1 Cemerlang students from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. to begin the first week of Personal Development Planning (PDP), then from 9 a.m. until 10 a.m., I taught my Form 1 Elit students. I covered Unit 6: Money in both of my classes. Students defined pocket money and listed the most and least enjoyable jobs they prefer to have in order to earn a living. Thankfully, both classes went smoothly. We ended the day by sending Ustaz Husni at 2 p.m. 


Take care Ustaz Husni!

I'm on Day 2 of Week 8 right now. The first meeting for the uniformed curriculum was held with the teachers and students in the morning. For my uniform, I was given the option of joining the School Youth Cadet (TKRS). To select the student body president, teachers from this uniform gathered at Dewan Al-Razi. The teacher in charge then went over every activity scheduled for the 2023/2024 session. School Youth Cadet marching was one of the planned events. The meeting was held from 7.30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. After that, Form 1 Cemerlang students came to my classes. originating from 10.30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. And my next class started from 12.30 p.m. to 1.30 p.m. which involves students from 1 Elit. Today in my classes, I had the students practice listening. By the end of my lesson, students had to list three purchases they make each week, reply to questions based on an audio script, and then discuss the differences between borrowing and lending.

I came to school wearing my School Youth Cadet t-shirt because today is curriculum day. The general Nature's Club meeting began at 7:30 a.m., so that's where I started the day. I was given the responsibility of running the Nature's Club with Teacher Ozai, according to Puan Zakiah. The school's prayer room was filled with members of the Nature Club. Seeing all 98 students in this club caught everyone off guard. The student president of this club was selected by teacher Ozai, who offered to do so. I only had one class with my 1 Elit students from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. after choosing the board of student leaders for this club. Today's class was involving reading skills. Students wrote answers to the questions that were given, list different forms of currency used in various nations, and explain the definition of any new words they had learned from reading a message board. Students who were unable to reply to the questions were obliged to make corrections.

Well, today is the second last day of week 8. I went to my first-ever general volleyball club meeting this morning from 7.30 a.m. to 8.30 a.m. Since I was thirteen, volleyball has been one of my favorite sports to play. I used to enter volleyball tournaments during my high school years back in 2017. The majority of the members of this club were male students, so I'm glad Puan Zakiah chose to place me under it. Teacher Hafiq was in charge of this club. According to teacher Hafiq, students won first place in a volleyball tournament among schools last year. The student leader for this club was then selected by teacher Hafiq. I had a class with students from Cemerlang from 12:30 p.m. to 1.30 p.m. The same lesson that 1 Elit's class learned yesterday was taught to 1 Cemerlang students.

FRIDAY, 31TH MARCH 2023

Today marks the last day of week 8. Today marked the launch of the Nilam Program. Nilam is basically an intensive reading program planned for all students and teachers. The Nilam Launching program was handled by the librarians this morning. A quote from Puan Fatimah that roughly translates to "A room without books is like a body without a soul" was used to introduce the program. I held the Marikh sports house's general meeting at the school's canteen immediately following the launch. Again, the teachers and students chose athletes to fill the position of president. Since I did not have any classes today, I gave Madam Michelle this week's lesson plan for her to review. Madam Michelle rectified my objectives, achievement criteria, and reflection. I corrected my lesson plan for her second check, and she gave her approval for my work. Lastly, I went to the office and gave my lesson plans to Puan Hasnah, the senior administrative assistant of SMK Bayan Lepas, for her stamp and signature.

MONDAY, 22ND MAY 2023 Mirror mirror on the wall, lend me your eyes and read it all. Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today is the sixteenth week of my practicum. Since there was no assembly today, I entered 1 Cemerlang to film a video for my supervisor's review. Miss Nabira, my supervisor, requested that I record myself teaching an English lesson to the students. I chose to prepare a healthy egg sandwich meal with my 1 Cemerlang students for today's evaluation. Students first read a brochure on 5 simple steps to making a nutritious egg sandwich, and then I created the sandwich in class with them. The students were thrilled to make the sandwich. Students brought their own plates, and I prepared all of the essential components in class, including corn, scrambled eggs, wholemeal bread and tomatoes. Students were able to design a flow chart to rewrite the 5 stages for making a nutritious egg sandwich after successfully assembling the egg sandwich. I would say that the lesson piqu

MONDAY, 6TH FEBRUARY 2023 Today was supposed to be the first day of my practicum session, but it was a Thaipusam public holiday. As a result, I did not report on duty today. I'm leaving tomorrow with butterflies in my stomach! TUESDAY, 7TH FEBRUARY 2023  Finally, it is time to report to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bayan Lepas on the island of Pulau Pinang. I was a bundle of nerves, so I woke up early. I set my alarm for 5.20 a.m., dressed, and was out the door by 6 a.m. When I arrived at the school, security directed me to the office. I was taken to the headmistress's room in the office.  I handed her all of the college's required documents and my teaching permit from Jabatan Pendidikan Pulau Pinang. Puan Fatimah Salini Binti Jaapar, the headmistress, added me to the school's Telegram group chat. Selfie of the day!

MONDAY, 19TH JUNE 2023 Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today is week 20. This is my final week as a practicum teacher. According to the document provided by the Minister of Education, I am meant to complete my practicum by June 30th, 2023; however, Puan Fatimah Salini said this morning during the assembly that next week would be a week of Hajj school holidays. As a result, this Friday will be my last day of school. I began the day with morning assembly and then arrived at 1 Cemerlang at 8 a.m. sharp. Today's theme was Spending Wisely, and students were able to complete the notes after listening to the chat and fill in the bubble map with examples of groceries you should buy by the end of the session. At 9 a.m., I had the same session with my 1 Elit students. Both classes' lessons were a lot of fun. Students from both courses agreed that rice and eggs should be purchased as groceries. Morning assembly. TUESDAY, 20TH JUNE 2023 This morning, I began with a thirty-minute Brain G
