What a beautiful day to wake up too, knowing that I don't have to officially report to school everyday from Monday onwards....lol! It has been a hectic 2 days...preparing the booths for the school's Open house on Friday. Yesterday's Open House started from 8.30 am. The trickle of visitors - the anxious parents & the newly-minted PSLE graduands came shopping for their secondary schools. Some came with younger & older siblings in tow.
We talked to all and sundry who wanted to know what TSS has to offer their child - be it in academic excellence or CCA prowess or even in terms of the care given to their precious child :) It was a big help to have some students to help out at the booths - not least because they are a product of Tanglin and what they say about the school means more to the young would-be Tanglinian. Parents talked to the teachers more as they want to know about our school's results, results, results! We even had one super-anxious parent who asked for our Sec 1 exam papers for the child to practise in preparation for secondary school life. OMG!!
I saw the video clip done by students who had completed the Financial Literacy course. All I can say is that Yone Phar makes a lousy loanshark & Raphael looks good on camera :p The next time the EL department needs actors, we know who to call..hahaha :)
I know you peeps have had close to 3 weeks hols since the end of term, and some are starting to show signs of boredom - not meeting friends in school or going out on random outings for the sheer fun of having the holidays!! Some lucky ones are already going to or may even have returned from family holidays abroad:)
The teachers need a break too - to recharge ourselves; we are not machines you know... I need a rest from school... lol! A staycation would be good ~ with some shopping thrown in cos the year-end bonus and Christmas is coming...yay!!
So everyone, stay chirpy and happy cos December is just a couple of days away. Be merry, be generous and stay positive. Enjoy the holidays while they are here :D
Your jolly teacher
