Winding down P6-3 ...

Hi.

I just want to share that during the Cedar Learning Carnival, as I was showing the 2 videos to the visiting P5 and P6 pupils, I got me thinking ...

2009 ... it just zipped pass ... literally! I can still remember roughly what I said to the class on the first day of this year ... reassuring all of you and things like that.

Also, it wasn't too long ago when I was still putting everyone through all the revision worksheets, exam papers, reminding as well as scolding some that we really need to persevere and buck up. I could still remember hearing all the groaning whenever I talk about Math and the laughters when we coin ESAD ...

Feeling emotional? Maybe ...

Feel like crying? Maybe not ... but just to share that even though I've taught and sent off 7 graduating classes (including all of you), there's always that sense of loss ... it's like a piece of you been cut off ... it'll be painful for a while but eventually we'll get over it ...

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I enjoyed having you guys as companions journey through 2009. Though I may not know each one of you as well as the other form teachers, I wished I had more time talking to you guys (rather listening to me most/all the time) and getting to know each one of you as a person cos you kids are interesting, yes each one of you.

I guess it's time to grow up (including myself) and learn to embrace the 'coming unknown'. For you it's your PSLE results and the secondary school which you'll be heading and as for me, new kids and this time, I got 2 classes-worth of English and no more Maths (Noooooooooo) and Science, plus not forgetting 80 new faces ...

They're coming soon, really soon ...

Are we ready?
