Class Deco Project - Duty Roster

Updated on Thursday , 25th February 2010 at 2:00pm

Here's the 1 Inovatif 2010's Duty Roster, duly completed! :)
Thank you to all the students as well as moms and dads involved in this mini project!

As requested by Puan Suraya, we have embarked on another class deco project, the 1 Inovatif 2010's Duty Roster. Conceptually, the mushrooms will be the Days of the week, while the butterflies will be the Tasks to be done. To keep it simple, we have decided on two tasks only, namely:

• Sweeping the floor & Shutting the window
• Arranging desks & chairs and putting the chairs up on the respective desks
  

As there are 41 children altogether, the kids will be grouped into groups of 4 or 5 and will be tasked to do one task per week.

These mushrooms and butterflies had been given out to some of the kids for them to paint.

Here's a little sneak preview of the Duty Roster:


Watch this space for the finished product! ;)

Pending photo printing, laminating, mapping it onto the respective handprints and then putting it up on the middle notice board at the back of class. Thank you to Mrika for sponsoring the canvas boards, acrylic paints n stuff, Dilla for the photography and Zurina, Adam, Rozana n Ziezi as crew during the process.

2. Reorganising of furnitures:

We have finally managed to source childrens' bookshelves, cabinets and furnitures to organise the text, activity and exercise books as well as for the reading corner.

The list are as follows:

a. Mini book cases with 9 pigeon holes - 3 pcs

b. Mini book shelves with 3 tiers - 6 pcs

These are being purchased thru parents' additional contribution specific for the above. Thank you very much to Maria, Mrika, Kassim and Zurina (as of this morning) for your generous offer. ** Other parents who also wish to contribute are most welcome. Just sms me please. Not forgetting the other parents who have been offering their precious time and energy; Adam, Azman, Nazz who assembled the available items, Ailie for surveying and Ziezi for the surveying, purchasing and delivering of the items.

Items c,d,e,f,g and h are already in class. Items a and b will arrive on Thursday (hopefully) and will require assembly. Books will need to also be reorganised then. For this, we will need to get together again. Will update you guys later.

Just for your info, these items shall be with the 1Inovatif 2010 class for the next three (3) years as the group will remain the same.

3. Homework notices:

Due to parents' concern regarding the daily homework, we are now trying to establish a system whereby we will be providing a daily diary / notebook on the teacher's desk (thank you to Lily for the book) and at the end of the day Rozana will take it home. Any homework updates from the respective teachers shall be updated accordingly in the portal and via email by Adam. The next morning, the notebook shall be back on the teacher's desk. We hope this will work out fine.

4. Class Duty Roster

Cikgu Suraya has indicated that she would be grateful if we could organise to make a Duty Roster for the class to be placed on the front notice board. Need a volunteer to lead the project please and do the necessary. We will need to split the class into say 5 groups in charge of 5 work scope such as Sapu, Susun Meja, Susun Buku, Papan Hitam, Tingkap kinda thing to be rotated on a daily basis. Maybe we can make the roster a bit more fun as well by adding a touch of kiddy art perhaps with the kids' involvement. Do propose... :)

That's all for now.

Do write in with your feedback or comments.

Thank you and warm regards,
Ziezi

News Flash : Malaysia's Top 20 schools named

Malaysia's Top 20 schools named

2010/01/25

PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today announced that 20 schools - 14 secondary and six primary - had been accorded the status of high performance schools (SBTs). Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, said of the 14 secondary schools, 10 were fully residential schools and the rest day schools.

"These schools were chosen from among schools that showed outstanding performance in the field of academia, co-curriculum and niche areas.

"The schools will be guided and monitored closely to ensure they continue to attain even higher levels of performance," he told reporters at his office here today.

The 10 fully residential schools are Sekolah Tun Fatimah (Johor Bahru), Sekolah Dato' Abdul Razak (Seremban), Malay College Kuala Kangsar, Sekolah Seri Puteri (Cyberjaya), Sekolah Menengah Sultan Abdul Halim (Jitra), Kolej Tunku Kurshiah (Seremban), Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah (Klang), Sekolah Menengah Sains (SMS) Tuanku Syed Putra (Perlis), Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah (Putrajaya) and SMS Muzaffar Syah (Melaka).

The four day schools are Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) (P) Sri Aman(Petaling Jaya), SMK Aminuddin Baki (Kuala Lumpur), SMK Sultanah Asma (Alor Setar) and SMK (P) St. George (Penang).

The six primary schools are Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Seri Bintang Utara (KL),SK Taman Tun Dr Ismail 1 (KL), SK Bukit Damansara (KL), SK Zainab (2) (Kota Bharu), SK Convent Kota (Taiping), SK Bandar Baru Uda 2 (Johor Bahru).

At the same time, Muhyiddin stressed that SBTs were not elite schools which benefited only a limited number of students.

Instead, he said each school in the country had the same opportunity and a level playing field to be recognised as SBTs.

"Any school that meets the targets of excellence and criteria set (by the Education Ministry) will be recognised as a SBTs and get the same privileges," he said.

Muhyiddin said the ministry targeted to have 30 SBTs by next year and 50 in 2012.

He said the rationale in having SBTs was to raise the quality of the best schools in the country to be world class, produce outstanding students and narrow the gap between schools within the system.

He said SBTs would be given additional autonomy to pursue innovation in school management and raise the productivity of students.

As for curriculum, he said, it would be flexible in terms of teaching and learning as well as syllabi for compulsory and elective subjects, conforming to public examinations and use of the national language as the medium of instruction or multiple languages.

Beside these, Muhyiddin said the schools concerned were also given leeway in fixing the minimum periods for subjects, extending schooling hours and allowing students to complete their studies a year earlier, just like the express promotion system that was introduced previously.

In terms of budget ownership, he said a lump sum grant would be channelled to the schools at the beginning of each year and that they would have the full flexibility to spend as needed and were exempted from the ministry's centralised procurement system.

"Every school has its own budget, but with this status, they will be given additional funds and they can use the money as needed," he said, adding that the grant might be less than RM1 million but had not been fixed yet as this depended on the size of the SBT.

He also said management of staff at these schools would be based on meritocracy and not seniority, besides flexibility given for the paying of overtime and performance incentives.

"There will also be flexibility to re-assign under performing staff and delegation of functions based on academic and non-academic reasons," he said.

Muhyiddin said the SBTs would be appraised yearly based on their annual reports with the appropriate performance indicators and inspections by the ministry's officers in accordance to the revised Malaysian Education Quality Standard.

In relation to this, he said the SBTs would have to fullfil six criterias - attain academic excellence, produce outstanding students, win awards at the national and international level, community work and networking with other schools and higher learning institutions, both locally and internationally.

One of the roles the SBTs would have to play was having their teachers to act as mentors to teachers in other schools through the "immersion" programme involving principals, headmasters and teachers, he said.

Towards maintaing their status as SBTs, he said their strategic plans, management structure, academic and co-curriculum programmes should serve as benchmarks for other schools, locally and abroad.

Muhyiddin said that schools in rural areas could also be selected as SBTs if they fullfilled the criterias set.

"I know not all the 10,000 schools (in the country) can reach this status, but irrespective of whether they are urban or rural schools, they stand an equal chance to be accorded SBT status.

"But if the (rural) schools are constrained because they do not have the same facilities as their urban counterparts, we will speed up action to narrow the gap," he said.
