WHAT SHOULD PUPILS DO EVERY DAY TO IMPROVE THEIR ENGLISH ?

My dear pupils ,

I hope you will remember this advice and follow this guideline to become better pupils.
Starting from morning till night before you go to bed, I hope you do follow these tips.

1.  Start fresh each day.  Be ready to listen to your teachers and try to understand what is being taught.

2.  Pay attention and take notes.  Ask any questions if you don't understand.

3.  When at home, do all your homework first.  Then, revise the lessons you have learned in school
     on that day or before.

4.  Study the notes given by your teacher.  Rewrite the sample or model compositions a few times.
     Try to be creative and add in your own words to make your sentences more interesting.

5.  Speak English often and do not be shy.

6.  Reading improves your English so read a lot of English books.

SK SELAMA FLASHBACK 2011 ( PART 1 )

WISH EVERYONE A WONDERFUL & SUCCESSFUL YEAR

Happy New Year to everyone.   Hopefully, 2011 will bring us happiness, success and wisdom.  May there be love, peace and safety wherever we are.  Yes, pupils hopefully are more interested in studying and put in a lot of effort to achieve excellent results.  We hope there is better cooperation among us in bringing results especially in the government examination; UPSR and other school based exams. 

Hopefully too, there is better awareness among teachers and pupils on the importance of the English Language although English is no longer going to be used in the teaching of Mathematics and Science in some classes.  When we see the sorry state of the new breed of graduates' poor command of English and many university students having problems in studying and doing references , we feel worried about our pupils.  There is not much time spent in school for the teaching and learning of English, so let's hope each English lesson is golden time.  

To all the wonderful teachers, here's wishing you good health as health is very important for our mind and body.  Thus, a happy and healthy teacher will be able to perform better.  

Thanks for the co-operation and sincere efforts shown in 2011 which brought us a number of successful events.  May we achieve better results that we can be proud of together. 


HAPPY NEW YEAR and MAY EVERYONE ENJOY A YEAR OF HAPPINESS, SUCCESS AND
PEACE.  MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE.

ICT for SK Selama Teachers and Pupils

Hopefully, 2012 will bring us new hope and success .  So, let's welcome this new year cheerfully and warmly. .  We cannot deny that ICT has influenced us a lot either personally or for our work, study and socially.  However, how effective it is to the whole school as an organization towards SMART SCHOOL system, we can evaluate it ourselves and still improve if we wish to achieve its highest status and standard . Firstly, we have to check ourselves to see how good we are in  ICT knowledge. 

Having taught in this particular school which is my second home, I have always dreamed it to be fully a SMART SCHOOL by this time.  No doubt there have been drastic changes but it isn't enough.  Are we truly applying ICT in our administration, communicating to teachers, pupils and parents firstly and to the public effectively?  I guess, we are on the right track and I hope by the year 2015 when we become one of the Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi, our ICT facilities are sufficient and functioning well.  In this way, all teachers can use ICT and multi-media in teaching the many subjects.  Pupils are more interested and understand better when ICT is used. 

It is very sad that the full time ICT technician in the CiTAKU Lab was posted here for only a year and now, it could not function as it is supposed to be.  Though we can agree it is a failed project , we are lucky in the sense that we can still use the digital lab.  Hopefully, pupils and teachers can go online easily there.
