In her cozy corner, surrounded by photos of students who have passed through her hands, Mdm Nita prepares materials for her new Primary 3 class.
Every teacher arms herself with a pack of supplies for class. On this first day of school, Mdm Nita plans to distribute worksheets to get to know her students better and to help them set goals for the year ahead.
“Hmm…time to match names to faces.”
Before morning assembly, Mdm Nita goes down the line to check on her students.
Reciting the pledge by heart, with heart.
Offering a calming presence as she looks after a student who is unwell.

Friendships start when one person first reaches out. Mdm Nita introduces herself to the class for the first time.
“It’s time to break the ice!”
Never underestimate the importance of having fun!

Off to the next exciting part!
Hurrah for recess! Those who eat together, stay together. Mdm Nita sits down to eat with her students.
Another part of a teacher’s job – talking to parents to address their concerns.
There are moments of chaos…
Even outside the classroom, teachers pass on important values such as responsibility, as they guide students to report back after recess.
Learning takes place both in and out of the classroom! Mdm Nita introduces her students to the Reading Nook – an area where students can pick up story books for the silent reading period before morning assembly.
During breaks in between lessons, Mdm Nita spends her time preparing for classes, and discussing various school matters with her colleagues. The day is only half done and we wish Mdm Nita all the best for the rest of the school year!
