SEVENTH WEEK OF PRACTICUM AT TADIKA SYAZ GONG BADAK


Assalamualaikum Peeps!

How's your day? I hope you always in a pink !

This time I would like to tell you about the seventh week of industrial training as a practical teacher at Tadika Syaz Gong Badak.

29 August 2021 (Sunday)

As this week is the week to celebrate Independence Day, I took this opportunity to introduce Terengganu's flag. Before beginning the teaching and learning process, I gave some questions to the children related to the state in which they are residing. I helped them because they seem to lack the confidence to answer. I showed a Terengganu flag flashcard in front of the children. I stated the name of the state repeatedly and asks the children to say it together.


After that, I introduced the colors and elements in the Terengganu flag. In between, I also explained the symbols for the elements. Even just as an interlude, children remain focused and remember it well. Children can answer questions related to the flag that indicates the child is achieving the objectives set by me.

The activity provided for the teaching and learning process for the Terengganu flag is to make the Tengkolak of the Terengganu flag.


To attract the children's attention, the teacher re-enters the classroom wearing a Tengkolak that has been colored. The children looked excited and happy to do it. After the children have finished coloring, the children are required to cut out the worksheet according to the lines provided. Some children still need my help, and some can cut by themselves. I combined the worksheets that had been cut out to produce the Tengkolak of the Terengganu flag. The faces of joy and pride were shown by the children while wearing their work. This shows that this activity can attract children's interest in continuous learning.

30 August 2021 (Monday)

From 8.00 am until 8.30 am, I waited in front of Tadika to pick up the children. During those 30 minutes, children are allowed to play games with other friends. After that, children are required to pick up bags and line up to enter Tadika. After I recorded the children’s names and temperature to ensure the children present were in good health, the children were asked to place the bag and slippers on the shelves provided. Within 5 minutes, children were asked to line up and get ready to start circle time. Upon completion of circle time, children need to enter their respective classrooms to begin the teaching and learning process. Today is the day before celebrating Independence Day which is 30 August 2021, as tomorrow is a public holiday, I had prepared materials to make masks. The mask that will be done is the Jalur Gemilang mask.


I chose to introduce the Jalur Gemilang flag. I have used flashcards as teaching aids so that children can see the flag. Before the teacher introduces the colors in the Jalur Gemilang, I ask the children to spell the name of the flag after saying it together. I explained about the flag and asks the children questions related to the flag. I found that the children were able to answer it well even without looking at the flashcard. This shows that the child can achieve the objectives that had been set.

The activity is to color the Jalur Gemilang mask correctly which the children have to color using the correct color and position. After the children have finished coloring, I asked the children to cut out the worksheet to place the rope. Before performing the activity, I wore a mask that has been prepared to attract the children's attention. Children are excited when wearing masks for their work.



Upon completion of the activity, the children were allowed to play with their work and play freely before bathing. Before bathing, children need to recite some prayers to close the class. Children are allowed to pick up bags and shower. Girls and boys have separate bathrooms. After the children bathed, they were instructed to go to the kitchen and eat. At 12.45 pm, the children were instructed to take their beds and the teachers was assigned to look after the children until the children were asleep and allowed to go home at 2.00 pm.

Vacination Appointment

2 September 2021 (Thursday)

After making sure all the children had entered Tadika, I started the circle time by asking the children to line up. I started by saying hello and so on and continues by reciting some prayers. Once the circle time was over, I asked the children to pick up tables and chairs. Thursday is a day to do activities. Therefore, the children have done the activity of making straw rockets.


The materials that have been prepared are straws and rocket worksheets. The children used their creativity to color the worksheet using their respective colored pencils. I had shown an example of a ready-made straw rocket and how to play it. Children feel excited to do activities. Once the children are ready to color, I asked the children to cut according to the lines that have been drawn. Through shearing, children can train fine motor development as well as eye and hand coordination.

After I attached a large-sized straw to the back of the child’s rocket, I gave a small-sized straw to the child to put into the large-sized straw and blow it up. Children were given time to play with their work under my observation after the tables and chairs were set aside.

That's all from me for the seventh week of Practicum at Tadika Syaz Gong Badak Branch. Thank you for reading my journey.😉

Stay safe! 💙
Stay home! 💛
