This blog was created especially for primary school teachers and pupils in an effort to help them in their pursuit towards excellence in the Science subject with the UPSR exam as the final destination. It is also meant for parents whom I hope might find some of the information here useful to help your children to do well in the subject. Nevertheless, if what you're looking for is not here, please be free to post me a note and I'll try to make up whatever necessary to meet your expectations. Have a nice day.....!

ABOUT MYSELF

I received my Diploma in Mathematics/Physics with Education from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and then my Degree in Education (Science) with Honours from Open University of Malaysia.
I have been in the teaching profession since 1982 and had since taught in a number of secondary schools before being promoted as the headmistress of a primary school in 1992. Since then, I have been the head of three primary schools.
I have been appointed as the Central Master Trainer to train primary school teachers when Science was first introduced in the primary school level. Since then, I have been quite active in the development of Teaching and Learning of Science at the National, State and District levels. I have also often been invited to give talks to schools to assist UPSR candidates in enhancing their understanding in the Science Process Skills involving the Section B part of the UPSR exam paper.
Being chosen as one of the seven Malaysian delegates to visit Indonesian schools to study a special twinning programme between the Indonesian and Germany Education Ministry had been one of the higlights in my teaching career.

RAMADAN BUFFET REVIEW DI BBQ LAMB KL KEMENSAH…

Tempoh hari kami berpeluang untuk membuat review buffet Ramadan di BBQ LAMB KL Kemensah tidak jauh daripada Zoo Negara.  Suasana memang sangat berbeza berbanding tempat-tempat review sebelum ini kerana suasana sekitar BBQ Lamb KL Kemensah ini terasa amat tenang dan aman dengan bunyi deruan aliran sungai yang hanya besebelahan dengan tempat menjamu selera.
Recently, we had the opportunity to review a buffet for the upcoming Ramadan month at BBQ LAMB KL Kemensah not far away from the National Zoo (Zoo Negara).  It was indeed a different experience from the ones that we had reviewd before since this place was situated in a natural surrounding accompanied by the sound of running water from the stream just next to the buffet area.


Antara menu yang disediakan termasuklah menu signature Rendang Kambing Valuar, daging salai masak lemak cili api, ayam masak merah, daging black pepper, asam pedas ikan, rendang ayam, ulam-ulaman, ikan masak tiga rasa dan banyak lagi.
Below were some of the dishes served…many of which were popular local dishes…not to forget the Valuar Mutton Rendang which was the signature dish of BBQ LAMB KL Kemensah here.







Jemput makan….😋

Satu yang unik tentang tempat ini adalah anda juga boleh menikmati makan di sini dalam sungai yang mengalir hanya bersebelahan tempat makan biasa…cuma kalau datang pada waktu malam perlulah dimaklumkan terlebih dahulu kepada pihak pengurusan untuk membuat persediaan sewajarnya. Yang bawa anak-anak pun boleh bermain-main air sungai kerana sungai cetek je…namun sebaiknya eloklah dipantau-pantau juga ye. Dan jangan risau, tempat pembersihan diri @ persalinan selepas bermain air juga ada disediakan.
One thing that’s unique about this place is that you could also enjoy your food in the stream just next to the common eating space…but early request could be made from the management so as to make the apprioriate preparations if you plan to come in the evening. Those with children could also let the kids enjoy playing in the shallow stream…but nevertheless parents’ supervision is surely advised.😚.  And btw not to worry, a changing room to clean yourself up after your ‘splashing’ time is also available for your convenience.


Jadinya, kalau ada plan nak berbuka puasa di luar nanti, boleh la cuba berbuka di sini sambil menikmati suasana lain daripada yang lain. Tempat ini boleh menampung 100-200 tetamu pada satu-satu masa dan surau yang agak luas juga disedikan untuk kemudahan solat. Waktu operasi ialah dari 7.00 - 10.00 malam.
Harga bagi buffet ramadan di sini adalah seperti berikut:
And so, if you had any plan breaking fast @ ifftar away from home, you might consider giving this place a try.  It can accomodate about 100-200 guests at a time and a spacious prayer room is also available. Operation hours is from 7.00 - 10.00 pm.
Price is considered good as per details below:

SRI ABIM

On 20 June 2009 I was invited to give a talk on the answering techniques at SRI ABIM. The audience consisted of the school's UPSR candidates and some from nearby schools totalling to about 120 students. In general, the participation from the students were okay as they were willing to try to answer the questions asked. Any inaccurate answer was discussed so as to highlight to the students to prevent them from making the same mistake in future. We sang a few science songs together to liven up the session and also to avoid students from getting bored and sleepy, especially after a short recess with nasi lemak. As usual, after the session the students were eager to geta my autograph, email etc. Anyway, I wish them all the best and may the majority of them get an A for their Science paper. Good luck children..!!

OVERVIEW OF FORMAT OF PAPER

The UPSR Science paper consists of 2 sections, A and B.
Section A consisting of 30 multiple choice questions test students of their scientific facts and concepts that they learnt from Year 4 to 6. Students are required to memorise and understand these facts and concepts so as to be able to answer the questions in this section successfully. We can say that questions in this section are recall questions whereby students just recall the necessary scientific fact/concept to answer those questions. Nevertheless, although they are basically multiple choice questions, they are presented to the candidates in quite a number of ways (10 to be exact!) by which each of these has different level of difficulty. This is based on the Bloom's Taxanomy. The basis for the assessment in this section is the 5 themes in the science syllabus.
In contrast with Section A, Section B is a totally different kind of assessment. This section requires students to use their thinking skills to produce the most appropriate answer. Information and data are readily given in the question and students have to analyse these to come out with the best answer. The basis for the assessment in this section is the Science Process Skills which I've listed in my earlier post.
So, as you can see Section A requires students to give the information needed while Section B requires students to use/analyse the information given and then come out with the best answer for the question asked.

Karnival Sains dan Teknologi Negeri Selangor

Hmm.. Hari ni terima faks kena jadi hakim Saintis Muda peringkat negeri Selangor di Sabak Bernam pada 23 - 25 Jun 2009. Nak kena call urusetia untuk urusan penginapan. Nampaknya tahun ni pengurusan di pihak urusetia lain la pulak... 23 hb baru nak pilih soalan dan uji ekperimen.. Cukup ke radas/bahan yang diperlukan??? Sebelum ni kita dah siap set, uji dan senaraikan bahan/radas yang diperlukan awal2 supaya sekolah tuan rumah dapat buat persediaan sewajarnya. Ini sehari sebelum pertandingan baru nak test.. Mudah2an tak kecoh nanti dan harapnya semua berjalan lancar...

Answering Techniques

Last Sunday, I gave a talk to the UPSR candidates of SK Jalan Kuantan 2, KL. The school is located right in front of the Lake Titiwangsa. On that very same day, something was going on at the lake, resulting in quite a massive traffic jam and all the parking lots were taken. Lucky for me I was granted entrance into the school compound by the school guard and hence found no problem in parking my Persona. In general, the pupils were well-behaved and quite responsive. There was even an Iraqi pupil (I think...) whom I thought would be one of the school's targeted 5As students. Hmm... mungkin lepas ni rehat kejap kot.. sebab slot untuk Adab Utusan Malaysia dimaklumkan akan bermula Julai nanti. SK Taman U ada call tp sampai kini belum faks lagi surat panggilan rasmi.

Answering Techniques - Science UPSR

Today 8 May 2009, I gave my pupils a talk on the answering techniques of the Science UPSR paper. It took me from 8.30 am to 12.00 pm to deliver the talk, making sure that my pupils really comprehend the answering techniques required to excell in their coming Mid Year Science paper.
My only hope is that our UPSR Science result this year will be as good, if not better, as last year's...
