Upon reaching the school, I was quite surprised to see that the cohort of students was very small. Just imagine that there was no Sec 4 students this year in the school!!! The students, to my surprise, were rather polite and mild. As for the staff over at Bukit Merah Sec, they were very friendly.
My SCM was Ms Chong. She is the HOD of English Department but she still sits in the main staff room. She is the discipline master there too. It was also her who scheduled my teaching periods at Bukit Merah secodary School. I have about 8 Music teaching periods and I have to teach 2 Express classes (Sec 1C and 1D) and 2 Normal Academic classes (Sec 1A and 1B).
Today, I went in to sit in Class 1B and 1D to observe how my two CTs, Mr Albert Low and Mrs Lim, teach. Mr Albert Low was my official CT. Not only he is a Music teacher, he was also a Geography teacher. He seemed like a very stressed person and he did not like to talk much. Felt quite hard to talk to him. At this point in time, I was quite worried how am I going to communicate to him regarding my practicum matters.
Another CT of mine was Mrs Lim. She looked like a tai tai, instead of a teacher. What surprise me even more was that she's a Chinese teacher!?! OMG, all along I thought she could be teaching other subjects except Chinese! This is because her command of English language was superb. :)
Oh ya. I met another trainee teacher called Siew Yan at BMSS. She's in her thirties and looked very slim. Teaching is her second career. Heard from her that she set up up a business before she came into teaching. But then, the business was also related to education field. She was extremely friendly and nice to talk to. Felt quite blessed to have such a friend there to look after me during my practicum.
Hope that my days in BMSS will be happy and smooth. :)
