The day i took care of a primary one class

Rubber bands were flying everywhere. Shouts could be heard from every corner of the classroom. The scene was chaotic. That was the situation I was in when I took care of class 1B last week. This is my story:
It was a perfectly ordinary Monday morning. My class had finished our exams were over and since there was not much we could do, our teacher decided to show us a movie about the history of Singapore. I groaned when I learnt of his decision. “Yet another boring history video.” I mumbled to myself. I was almost bored to death when all of a sudden, Mr Tan, the discipline head master came to my classroom and called me. He told me that class 1B's teacher was sick and had taken medical leave, so 1B had no teacher. Since I was a prefect, he wanted me to take care of 1B for a day. I readily agreed, wanting to get away from the boring history video. After all, how hard can looking after a class of primary one students be? But i was about to find out i was wrong. Very wrong.
When Mr Tan and I arrived at the classroom, all of the students were quietly reading their story books. But as soon as Mr Tan left, all hell broke loose. The students began talking loudly and totally ignored me. I tried to signal for them to keep quiet but not a single student looked at me. Finally, I lost my cool and shouted at the top of my voice, “KEEP QUIET!” the students sensed my anger and quietened down. “Now read your books!” I said and the students did what I said obediently.
However, the peace did not last. One naughty boy shot a rubber band at another boy. The other boy was infuriated and shot a rubber band back at the boy. Soon, this “fight” turned into a “war”. The class was divided into two and both sides were firing at each other rapidly. Shouts could be heard coming from both sides. I tried my best to keep them quiet but to no avail. Even shouting at the top of my voice did not help. I slumped down on the nearest chair, not knowing what to do.
Just then, Mr Tan came to check how things were going. On seeing 1B”s students shooting rubber bands at each other, he immediately shouted at them, “KEEP QUIET!” the students recognized the discipline master's voice and immediately scrambled towards their seats. He then looked at me and said, “You can go back to your class now. I'll take over from here.” i heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what he said.
After this incident, i realised how hard it was to take care of a class of students. I will make sure that i will not take care of another primary one class, just in case that class is particularly naughty.

The Day When Everything Went Wrong

The Day When Everything Went Wrong
“Ring...ring!” my alarm clock rang, waking me up from my deep slumber. I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked towards the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky. Yet another wonderful day! I thought to myself as I did a few simple stretching exercises. After stretching, I turned around and checked what time it was. “What! Its already seven o' clock! I'm going to be late!” I yelled. I rushed into the toilet and quickly changed into my uniform. After I had changed my clothes, I skipped breakfast and ran out of my house, speeding towards my school.
“What time is it...?” I kept grumbling to myself as I stared at my watch, running towards my school. All of a sudden, my feet kicked a rock and i lost my balance. I felt my body lurch forward and fall straight to the ground with a loud “THUD!”. I lay on the floor, groaning in agony. I lay on the floor like this for a while before the pain finally subsided and I continued running towards my school.
When i finally reached school, i was panting like mad. I quickly surveyed the assembly grounds but found not a single soul there, to my dismay. Oh no, i thought to myself, my hot-tempered form teacher, Mrs Toh is sure to scold me! I rushed towards my classroom and heard Mrs Toh talking to the class. What am i going to do? I thought to myself as i gnawed my nails. “Calm down, calm down...” i whispered to myself. I forced myself to calm down and knocked onto the classroom door. As soon as Mrs Toh turned her head, I spoke as fast as I could, “I'm sorry Mrs Toh i accidentally set my alarm clock wrongly so I woke up late!” Mrs Toh looked at me puzzled. “What are you talking about? Today's a Saturday, this class is only for those who scored below 75 in maths!” “What!” I replied, dumbfounded. I could do nothing but curse my bad luck and make sure this would not happen again.

An Incident

“Psst! Edwin, wake up!”

“Hmm? Let me sleep longer…”

“Mrs Lim is coming!”

My eyes immediately snapped open. I looked around, only to see that Mrs Lim, our form teacher was nowhere in sight. I glared at my best friend, Melvin, only to see him trying hard to suppress his laughter. It was earth day today and our class was supposed to clean up our class room. Melvin and I were supposed to sweep the floor. It was so boring I dozed off while sweeping the floor. “It’s so boring!”I grumbled to Melvin. “Hey! I have an idea!” he said as he grinned mischievously. All of a sudden, he thrust his broomstick towards me! I was surprised and could not dodge in time and got jabbed in my stomach.

“Hey that hurts!” I grumbled at Melvin. “It was your fault you were to slow!” he replied cheekily. I took up my broomstick and lunged at him too but he dodged my blow and retaliated with a swipe. I parried his blow and attacked him again. We continued “dueling”, each of us trying to outdo each other. We were so caught up in our “dueling” that we did not notice we had kicked a bucket of water, causing it to turn over and spill water on the floor.

At that moment, Mrs Lim walked past us carrying a pile of books in her hand. She did not notice the puddle of water on the floor and lost her balance due to the slippery floor. She fell to the ground with a loud “thud!”, scattering the books everywhere. “Who kicked the bucket?” she shrieked angrily. “No one died teacher!” one of the pupils replied cheekily. “No! I mean who made the kicked the bucket and spilt water!” she shouted, face red with anger. “Uh… sorry teacher. We, uh, accidentally knocked down the bucket…” Melvin and I said together. “Oh… so you two did it… you will sweep all the classrooms in this level as punishment!” Mrs lim screamed, then left. We could do nothing but sigh as we took our broom sticks and went to the next classroom.

“I can’t take it anymore! It’s so boring!” I grumbled. All of a sudden, Melvin smiled. “Hey Edwin! Draw your broomstick!”

An incident

An Incident

Ding dong! The door bell rang. I dragged myself off the sofa to open the door. It was a Saturday morning and my parents had gone to work, leaving me alone at home. Having nothing to do, I decided to watch the Saturday blockbuster movie being screened on television. I was engrossed in the suspenseful movie and was annoyed that I had to miss a portion of the movie just to open the door.

When I opened the door, I realized there was no one outside. Instead, there was a small parcel on the floor. I picked up the parcel and wondered to myself what was inside it. Burning with curiosity, I slowly opened the parcel.

In the parcel, there was a small packet of white colored powder. What is this? I thought to myself. It looked very familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen it. After racking my brain for a few minutes, I finally recalled where I had seen the white powder before. I had seen a picture of it before in a pamphlet about drugs that was given out in my school to educate students like me about drugs. I was horrified. A packet of drugs had been sent to me!

I paced around my house, not knowing what to do. If only mum and dad were here! They would surely know what to do! I thought to myself. I was so nervous I began gnawing my fingernails in nervous dread. I forced myself to calm down and started brainstorming for ideas. Just then, I thought of an idea: call the police. I picked up the phone and called the police, informing them about the packet of drugs. The policeman who picked up the phone assured me that they would arrive as fast as they could.

In the blink of an eye, a team of policemen arrived at my house. I pointed at the packet of white powder and one of the policemen picked it up. He turned it around a few times, eyeing it suspiciously. All of a sudden, one of the policemen exclaimed, “Hey! I know what that is! I received one of those last week. It’s not drugs, it’s a detergent sample!” I was surprised. I did not know what to do except grin sheepishly and apologize to the police officers.

After this incident, I realized I jumped to conclusions too fast. I resolved to get rid of this bad habit, in case another incident like this happens again.

Some poems

Hi, its the school holidays and i'm kind of lazy to type so i just typed a poem. Enjoy!

The mouse
It scampered across the kitchen floor,
searching for its target.
It jumped around,
from chair to chair
scrutinizing the kitchen.
At last he found it,
a few grains of rice,
lying before him,
just waiting for him to eat them.
It leapt towards the rice grains,
but was stopped in midair by the swipe of a furry claw.
He looked up,
only to find the source of all his nightmares.
He had been caught by a cat!
And so ends the life of this poor mouse.
