Learning Visual Art During LADAP

Today our LADAP’s topic is Visual Art and our trainer is Pn Lim Boi Chin. She is an experience teacher teaching art subject in primary school. All the teachers will learn how to create Batik Art by just using a piece of tissue paper. We have also learn how to design a bookmark and also some festival’s cards using some easy and simple tools. Hopefully after this training,  the art teachers can use this technique to teach the students to create some special cards. Thanks again to Pn Lim.

Primary School Cadet (TKRS) Activity

Today is Wednesday and  is also our school co-curriculum’s day. As usual, I bring my kadet students for an activity under a big tree. Today our activity is ‘How to cook an egg by using matches and wood only?” These are the photos I took during the Year 6 boys having their cooking lesson under the tree. At the end, only one group can success cook the egg. And the cadet boys really enjoy this activity which prepared by cikgujames.

Transformer 2 Is Back To School Again

Transformer 2 is greater than Transformer 1. So if you are a fan of  Transformer, please remember to support it by going to watch it in the cinema. Have fun and enjoy yourself! Don’t forget to transform yourself to a hardworking boy after watching it. Bye and see you again in the cinema.  “AUTOBOT… TRANSFORM!”

Since the days of Un Chien Andalou and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, filmmakers have reached beyond meaning. But with this summer’s biggest, loudest movie, Michael Bay takes us all the way inside Caligari’s cabinet. And once you enter, you can never emerge again. I saw this movie two days ago, and I’m still living inside it. Things are exploding wherever I look, household appliances are trying to kill me, and bizarre racial stereotypes are shouting at me. Transformers: ROTF has mostly gotten pretty hideous reviews, but that’s because people don’t understand that this isn’t a movie, in the conventional sense. It’s an assault on the senses, a barrage of crazy imagery.

And the true genius of Transformers: ROTF is that Bay has put all of this excess of imagery and random ideas at the service of the most pandering movie genre there is: the summer movie. ROTF is like twenty summer movies, with unrelated storylines, smushed together into one crazy whole. You try in vain to understand how the pieces fit, you stare into the cracks between the narrative strands, until the cracks become chasms and the chasms become an abyss into which you stare until it looks deep into your own soul, and then you go insane. You. Do. Not. Leave. The Cabinet.

Michael Bay understands that summer movies are about two things: male anxiety, and pure id. That’s why he casts Shia LaBoeuf, that supreme avatar of pure male inadequacy, in the lead role. LaBoeuf projects a pathetic, wall-eyed dorkhood, when he’s not babbling like a tumor removed from Woody Allen’s prostate that somehow achieved sentience. I imagine the DVD of ROTF will include a whole disk of outtakes where they had to stop filming because LaBoeuf was drooling on camera. As it is, the film includes several extreme closeups of LaBoeuf’s dazed stare. Read more at www.io9.com

Basic Science Process Skills

The basic science process skills are what people do when they do science. Children using these same skills are active learners:

• They use their senses to observe objects and events and they look for patterns in those observations.

• They classify to form new concepts by searching for similarities and differences.

• Orally and in writing, they communicate what they know and are able to do.

• To quantify descriptions of objects and events, they measure.

• They infer explanations and willingly change their inferences as new information becomes available.

• And they predict possible outcomes before they are actually observed.

Seven Science Process Skills

1.  OBSERVING: Using your senses to gather information about an object or event. It is description of what was actually perceived. This information is considered qualitative data.

2.  CLASSFYING: Grouping or ordering objects or events into categories based upon characteristics or defined criteria.

3.  INFERING: Formulating assumptions or possible explanations based upon characteristics.

4. PREDICTING: Guessing the most likely outcome of a future event based upon a pattern of evidence.

5. MEASURING: Using standard measures or estimations to describe specific dimensions of an object or event. This information is considered quantitative data.

6. COMMUNICATING: Using words, symbols, or graphics to describe an object, action or event.

7. USING SPACE/TIME RELATIONS: Describe an object’s position i.e., above, below, beside, etc., in relation to other objects. Or describe the motion, direction, spatial arrangement, symmetry, and shape of an object compared to another object.

Cikgu James’ Presents : Teacher’s Day

Guru Pembina Negara Bangsa

Pada tanggal 16 Mei setiap tahun seluruh negara menyambut Hari Guru sebagai penghormatan jasa kaum guru dan tanda ucapan terima kasih kepada mereka. Penghormatan ini amat layak diberikan kerana usaha gigih guru dalam mendidik insan merupakan peranan yang mulia. Pembangunan diri insan yang cemerlang akan menentukan matlamat pembinaan sebuah negara yang maju dan aman akan dapat kita capai.

Menyedari pentingnya pembinaan negara bangsa bagi sebuah negara yang berbilang kaum seperti Malaysia, Kementerian Pelajaran telah memilih “Guru Pembina Negara Bangsa” sebagai tema Hari Guru pada tahun ini.

Keupayaan membina Negara Bangsa amat bergantung kepada keutuhan perkongsian nilai serta semangat patriotisme yang dapat dipupuk dan disuburkan dalam kalangan semua lapisan rakyat, terutama dalam kalangan generasi muda.
Menerusi semangat patriotisme, bangsa akan menjadi kuat, berani, mempunyai kekuatan mental, emosi dan fizikal dalam membentuk ketahanan negara.

Nilai sosial seperti semangat kekitaan, perasaan saling hormat-menghormati, mengamalkan sifat toleransi, taat setia dan pengabdian yang tidak berbelah bagi terhadap negara wajarlah dipupuk dan diamalkan sejak di bangku sekolah dan menjadikannya budaya hidup masyarakat.

Sekian. Selamat Menyambut Hari Guru!

PEKA – Year 6 Science Project

The UPSR Science Practical Work Assessment (UPSR PEKA) is a school based assessment that is implemented at school level as part of teaching and learning process. UPSR PEKA Assessment Guide contains information on the objectives, characteristics and organization of UPSR PEKA. It also outlines the procedures to assess the pupils’ practical work as guidelines to teachers as assessors and users of PEKA to carry out the assessment
in a coordinated manner.

OBJECTIVES OF UPSR PEKA
The objectives in conducting UPSR PEKA is to enable the pupils to :
* Master the Scientific Skills
- Science Process Skills
- Science Manipulative Skills
* Strengthen the knowledge and understanding on the theories and concepts in Science
* Inculcate the Scientific Attitudes and Noble Values
