Happy Mother's Day..Ibuku Permata Hatiku...

2009-05-07T05:51:00.000-07:00

Asalamualaikum..as the teachers are busy with the workshops..we still ve time to pause and celebrate our mothers for the Mother's Day Celebration. We did it early on the 7th of May because Cikgu Juliati our GKA will fly off to Singapore on the 9th for attending the MOE course for 3 weeks.

We organized it at the Dewan Kemasyarakatan Mukim Labi n our guest of honour is Cikgu Hjh Masnah Karia, Pengerusi JAPSER, Daerah Belait. A lot of GBS and PGBS especially the 'mothers' came to the 1st ever Mother's Day Celebration Event for SR Labi. Penghulu, Ketua Kampong and Ketua Rumah Panjang also came to celebrate the occasion.

The event started off with a Poem read by Faiz and speeches from our Pengerusi and GOH. Then, it went on with a Mother's Day stage performance competition for the classes of Pra till Yr 6. After that, we played games for the mothers of SR Labi pupils to participate and win.

We also highlighted the event with giving awards to Ibu Tertua ( 84 years old - Mukim Labi ) Dayang Arpah Abd Rahman, Ibu Tunggal Dyg Sapah Hj Taras dan Ibu Cemerlang Dyg Saripah Md Tahir. The rest of the event was giving out the certs and prizes to the winning participants and souvenir for our GOH. Finally, all of the 92 pupils sang a very touching song "Ketulusan Hati" n "Mama, I Love You" which made a lot of mothers cried and the teachers too :) The pupils gave roses to their mothers with hugs and kisses.

Overall, it was a success with minor hiccups here and there..Teachers, thank you for ur hardwork and dedication and above all, thank you for the bday cake :)

Projek Warisan Budaya 2009

2009-04-29T04:57:00.000-07:00

Thank you to Cikgu Lan, Cikgu Ermi, Cikgu Ade, Cikgu Yati, Cikgu Juliati and Cikgu Hjh Zuriena for working extra hours ( handling the prizes and taking care of the kids ) for Projek Warisan Budaya 2009 held at SR Sungai Liang last Sunday.

It was a tiring day however, it was fun and exciting as always. Our kids..Hasrin, Faiz, Alex, Hafizul and Syawal had given a very entertaining presentation of story telling. I still remember what Faiz said in summing up his story..' Walaupun sudah menjadi cikgu, janganlah bersikap tamak...' hehe pintar ani...They are not only exposed to the traditional musical instruments of Brunei but also had the chance to play the traditional Brunei indoor games.

Congratulations to the committees of the event.

P4C..Philosophy for Children..

2009-04-20T04:14:00.000-07:00

I really had fun in my conference today. It was really an eye opener for me as an educator, as a school leader in my case. We were given a talk about the new proposed curriculum for the UK by Mick Waters. I am happy to say that ours are moving towards the same direction. That really boosts my confidence to deliver more for the demands of SPN21.

What really stays with me, is the new pedagogy which is P4C introduced by Matt Blyton, teaching philosophy for children. One of the learning areas proposed by SPN21 is the ability of our pupils to possess the skills of critical thinking. Therefore, our challenge is to give endless opportunities for the kids to be more expressive and articulative in areas that they are concern with, particularly in philosophical matters. This is new. This is a good change. Not only we are teaching the kids to be more confident in sharing their views, but we are also nurturing them to have good values and attitudes. They are our future. We need to equip them with what we call as 'Pendidikan Kalbu'. To be able to think critically and creatively for the benefits of the development of our country. This is one of the strategies in shaping them to be responsible citizens in the future. I will share this with the rest of my colleagues and see what we can do in spreading the knowledge gained to the other teachers.

There is a picture of me with Kathy, the Headteacher of Panaga Hornbill School. This conference has opened a new form of networking between us. Kathy and her staffs are very interested to visit the schools in the rural areas and of course we will welcome them..:)

Thank you JSS officers for giving me the chance to have new experiences and knowledge from this conference.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow...

2009-04-20T03:54:00.001-07:00

Hi again,

I was sent by the JSS officers to attend a conference held by the educators from Panaga Hornbill School. These are the pix of the pre conference dinner held on the 19th of April. I had the opportunity to meet the Headteacher of the school, the teaching staffs and of course the Educators / Professionals from the UK, Mick Waters, Director of Curriculum QCA and Matt Blyton from North Yorkshire LEA. We were entertained by a series of stage performance by the pupils and I am very much entertained with it. It opened my eyes on how to reach the objectives of SPN 21 especially in the Music area. What really caught my attention was when the kids performed 'Stomp The Yard'. They were making music out of empty sehat bottles, big blue empty drums, long and short pipes and basketballs. Very resourceful and creative..Teachers, u can be creative too right? Make me proud ok :)

History in the making for SR Labi..

2009-04-12T04:27:00.000-07:00

Alhamdulilah, for the first time ever, one of our pupils got the third place in the Peraduan Mari Bercerita district wide, held on the 11th of April at SR Panaga.

I am very happy with the result and owe this a lot to Cikgu Ade and Cikgu Yati, Faiz's parents and of course to our very own naturally talented storyteller, Md Hafy Faiz Md Jamil. Congratulations :)

Parents and Teachers Consultation Hours...

2009-04-09T00:13:00.000-07:00

Yr 1 till Yr 5 teachers are sharing their analysis with the parents regarding the first result of the School Based Assessment that we did in March. Alhamdulilah, a lot of parents spared their time and discussed abt the achievement of their children so far.

Perjumpaan Ibu Bapa Tahun 6

2009-04-08T23:30:00.001-07:00

Well...this was our first meeting with the parents regarding the result and analysis of the trial tests for Year 6. Although, the number of parents who came was not really supportive, however it did not stop us from giving the necessary talk about how to help us achieve a good result for the PSR this year.

There were parents who expressed their concern about their children's result so far and gave us a clear insight that they too, are trying their best to motivate and teach their children with the possible ways that they know how and promise to do more in the future.
Insya Allah with the endless strong cooperation between the teachers, the parents and the children..there is no other way but success waiting at the end of the road.

Amin Amin ya Rabbal Alamin.

Well done teachers..

In dire need of new computers...

2009-04-07T02:04:00.000-07:00

Pictures of our pupils using the laptop while learning about the needs and wants in life, a topic introduced in Social Studies for Year 4.

This is one of the many initiatives of the teacher to teach using ICT. We have limited working computers in our ICT lab. Pupils have to share each laptop and it is never enough for them to explore the excitement of learning using computers. It is one of our main concern as a lot of teaching should be done using the aid of computers, internet and other teaching softwares. We have done our part in getting it. And now...we are waiting...and waiting...and waiting..

Labi Literacy Hour

2009-04-07T01:46:00.001-07:00

Every Mon, Tue and Wed, SR Labi will have Labi Literacy Hour ( Reading Big Books ) starting at 7.40 am to 8.10 am. This reading programme will be done every month for the rest of the schooling year. The first week of the month will focus on model reading by the reading teachers. The second week will be on doing individual reading, group reading or reading aloud together. The third week will be on brainstorming, cracking ideas or new vocabularies found in the big book. The fourth week will be on doing authenthic assessment with the pupils. The Reading Teachers will derive activities such as dialogue reading, role playing or doing book reviews and other creative activities with the pupils.

So far, the reading teachers have been embracing the importance of these reading periods to be done with the pupils to support them in grasping better understanding in English language and inevitably will lead and motivate the pupils to do more pleasure reading in their spare time. At the same time, the reading teachers can also polish their own command in english and will give them more confidence in teaching.

A Futsal Court in the making..

JAPSER BELAIT SHARING SESSION 2.4.2009

Been busy with this event, glad that we ve done well and dapat mengharumkan nama sekolah sekolah di KB..it's time to focus on SR Labi, i miss my school, my staffs and of course my 93 kids...

Yeaayyy...1st term holiday starts tomorrow...

2009-03-19T05:17:00.000-07:00

Our activities for the last day before school holiday were aerobics and Pertandingan Sehari Mari Bercerita.

Most of our pupils did their best for the competition. However, practices should be done regularly so that they can perform better. Those kids holding their gifts are the winners, from PRA to Year 6.

Teachers, please do your best in equipping our kids with the proper communication skills especially in story telling. Practise this in your teaching especially during Labi Literacy Hour.

We want our kids to have good exposures in expressing their ideas and themselves creatively.

Special thanks to Cikgu Yati and Cikgu Ade for their hard work in guiding our pupils during Saringan Peraduan Mari Bercerita at Perpustakaan Pandan, KB.

Alhamdulilah..SR Labi recorded history when Md Hafy Faiz succeeded to be chosen as one of the ten competitors for the District round which will be held 11 April 2009 at SR Panaga. Congratulations teachers :))

Farewell Pehin..See you again in the future :)

Sorry, it has been a while..been busy, been caught up with work...but there will always be fun at the end of the day...

There are no words to describe how hardwork and commitment are being paid but to see the smiles and laughters from our YB during the visit are more than enough.

This visit has given us more motivation to work smarter, be more motivated and proactive to be educators and leaders in the school.

Thank you YB for your undying support.

Sincerely thanks to PPKD, Belait who has been there all the way to give guidance and boost more confidence to us in delivering what we have been working on hard for our school so far.

The Aftermath....

2009-02-18T19:13:00.000-08:00

School is now busy preparing and updating work tasks that has been delayed due to the flood.

Everybody has something to do..hmm in certain cases A LOT to do...So, teachers..please do your tasks...Challenge yourself...n make me proud, I may be demanding and difficult on you sometimes, but Trust me..it is for your own good.

Another type of transportation...

2009-02-18T03:46:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday, 14.02.2009..the flood was 'friendly' to us..the level of the water lowered down..therefore we may now go to school with another type of transportation which was the ABDB's truck. Well, I told myself..you are one tough lady to go through all these in 2 weeks time...my teachers especially the ladies are one heck of a team as well...Thank you all, for being very courageous and spirited throughout this ordeal...

Syukur Alhamdulilah..

2009-02-12T02:46:00.000-08:00

Today, a tragic incident nearly happened.
I was on the speedboat with Hjh Zu and a few officers from the Health Department, on our way to Sg Patai when suddenly our vehicle accidentally speeded towards the bushes.
I was sitting at the front seat at the side of the speedboat. If I did not save myself by covering my face with my hands and went to the middle side, I would have been thrown out of the speedboat by the bushes to the river.
I was in shock for a while..Sampai di sekulah, I got a slight headache. Classes started as usual when all the teachers finally arrived to school. I was typing my work, doing the SPG thing when suddenly the electricity went off at the old building. OMG...what's next? Hmm, a few government cars stopped by our school for a while. Then I got a call from Ketua Kampong, that HM will be 'bercemar duli' to SR Labi soon. This will be interesting :) As we are nervous for his arrival but we are also happy at the same time.

2009-02-11T04:12:00.000-08:00

We are also transporting the new text books that we recieved from JSS.

textbooks cause it's his job to teach the kids that subject. The books are cool and colourful!

Well done.

2009-02-10T06:33:00.000-08:00

We can see here, the soldiers were busy in transporting us to go through the river.

Masa ni durang mengisi minyak untuk engine speedboat.

Hi again,

As i have mentioned, we went to school finally, daring ourselves to get on the speed boat and made it through the river to go to our school.

We were accompanied by our big boss, Cikgu Hj Ramlee PPKD, Cikgu Hj Shuani and Cikgu Johari.

It was fun but scary at the same time. As we did not have any life jackets on.

Baik jua selamat sampai. If not, u will hear news...really bad news...

Flood in Labi

2009-02-06T05:39:00.001-08:00

8 of SR Labi's teachers including myself has not been able to attend school since last Monday.

We are scattered and has reported to other schools.

The flood has affected 3 places in Mukim Labi. The worst that has ever happened.

I am worried with the pupils. I will go there with a few officers from JSS tomorrow morning.

This will be an adventure that I have never experienced before.

We will go there by boat.

I miss my school. I miss my office.
