One Hundred Is A Beautiful Number
I was very happy after school today because Mrs Ng has finally finished marking your Math paper and one of you had FULL MARKS!!! I was so jubilant (happy) that I wanted to jump off DLS and fly away. I will not reveal who it is but it is a boy. I know all of you will guess that it is Wen Xin but... Sorry Wen Xin, it is not you. The second highest is 98 and it is a girl who scored this mark.
This is the best part of being a teacher. If you're a student, you're only elated when you get high marks but when you're a teacher, your joy is multiplied!
Anyway, to that boy, this is an advance CONGRATULATIONS. You listened to my advice, you avoided your usual mistakes and you made it through! I really did not expect this person to get 100! I feel like hugging you, jumping off DLS and flying away!
OK, silliness aside. Your Math paper was not done as well as I expected but plenty of you improved.
Your English paper, on the other hand, is depressing. I shall not write about it. You will see for yourself.
Science paper will be on tomorrow. Just now, we went through Booklet B of last year's SA1 and also several questions from two books I borrowed from Mr Tan. I don't think I have anything to worry for Science and I hope I'm right, saying this.
We talked a little bit about leeches just now. I could not help fitting in a story about my encounter with a leech since there was a question on it in the book. Dylan was frightened by my story and shut his ears. I didn't think it was that scary... It was just about how leeches can climb using its mouth suction. Maybe I shouldn't have told you... I regretted it a little since some of you were really scared. For all your charm and intellect and bravado, sometimes I forget you are only nine year olds. As for me, I am terrified of leeches! They are horrible creatures!
Doctors may use them for medical purposes but I still find them to be disturbingly creepy.
After the paper tomorrow, we will spend the remaining time finishing our art pieces. I can't wait to see the final masterpiece! It will be glorious.
See you tomorrow!
