Professional Discussions

July 1st: Today I met with the Maths Teachers, and started the conversational ball rolling about some of the work we are planning to do while I am here.  It is quite a busy schedule, with lesson studies, classroom visits, Saturday's workshop, and the workshops next Monday with the Form 3 and 5 students. 

Good Morning DPM

30 June 2014 : A chance to introduce myself to the whole school.  Not sure that the students understood my three phrases of Malay, spoken in my Aussie accent, but they were very polite, and seem pleased to see me!

More Tour on Sunday

 29th June 2014

In the morning Jacqui was brought to the 'Tamu Gaya Street' or Sunday market by Teacher Artina and her husband.  In Malay language, ‘Tamu’ means open-air market. Traditionally a place where farmers, fishermen and vendors trade their produce, Sabah’s Tamu has certainly evolved to become a favorite hang-out place for locals and tourists.

In the afternoon, Jacqui and the 'Kelab Pencinta Alam' - KPA, with Teacher Karen and Teacher Melva went to Rasa Ria Resort to visit our adopted 'Orang Utan'.
