Panasonic Kid Witness News (KWN)

Heard of the Panasonic KWN before? It's a hands-on video education programme sponsored and supported by Panasonic where students learn to write, shoot, edit and produce their own 5 minutes video clip. I'm sure Chris is familiar with this programme as SMK Sri Aman has won the Videography Special Award in 2008! Congrats! To those who haven't heard of it please go to this website - http://kwnmalaysia.com/ All you need to do is tell your students to make the storyboards first and submit the entries to Panasonic and they will decide from the storyboards whether the students are selected to go for the video recording workshop. You have to send in the storyboards online, so, send in early because from experience last minute submission made entries jammed up and the Panasonic didn't get the storyboards.

Well, here are some photos of what my students had done this year, but, unfortunately, they didn't win anything.

Expect the Unexpected

This is a video of a sketch acted by Form 3 students on a chapter in 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' novel. These students are from the 5th class in the form. There are 32 students in the class with 10 girls and the rest are boys. So you can imagine how it is like where the boys rule!

The audio is terrible, couldn't figure out why...sorry!

This is the first chapter of the novel. The scene where a little girl, Edie, was trampled on by the evil Mr Hyde.

I told the students to just act as if Mr Hyde stepped on the girl. I didn't realize that 'Mr Hyde' had actually kicked and stepped on 'Little Edie' until I replayed the video and heard the other students muttered "Dia buat betul-betul!" (means he had really stepped on his friend). I scolded the boy and ordered him to apologize, but the 'victim' only replied "Ala...main-main je, Teacher" (means they are just joking around). Boys are boys! They really test my patience!

Photos of activities over the year

Many things have happened over the last 11 months. I have done a lot and gone places. Here are just some photos that I have. Most have already been posted in facebook but here are some, just to remind me of the people I have met over the months.

Dr Lee Su Kim, writer and lecturer in UKM. She is really a Nyonya.

Dr Alan Maley, whose books I have read and used during my uni days.

Cast and crew and everyone involved in the school's "I have a dream" production. Something I am very proud to be associated with.

The Sri Aman crowd with Wai Yee (ex-sri aman and cast of musical "2 from Galilee")

The staff and PTA during the Royal Gala Dinner with the Permaisui Agong. No pic of her majesty, I'm afraid.

Selamat Bercuti dan Salam Aidil Adha

Saya mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan Selamat Bercuti buat semua, walaupun ada yang terpaksa menjaga peperiksaan SPM serta terlibat dengan penandaan kertas peperiksaan, saya kira itu merupakan sebahagian daripada 'kehidupan' seorang guru - yang sentiasa mengorbankan waktu peribadi demi sebuah tugas yang mulia.


Buat rakan-rakan Muslim, saya panjangkan Salam Aidil Adha, semoga perayaan kali ini membawa seribu makna serta mengajar kita erti pengorbanan yang sebenarnya :)

Have fun with your families, and bring back all sweet memories!

Regards (^^)
