School-Based Oral Assessment (SBOA) link

   I found a helpful blog post on School-Based Oral Assessment. It explains the types of models used for assessing pupils together with some examples. The post actually explains SBOA for secondary school, but I haven't found any links for primary school. Check out the post anyway, I think it's still helpful.

   My own assessments are a bit of a mess, but as soon as I clear them up I'll try to share them with you (ughhh I hate making promises these days, I just ever get around to fulfilling them!)

Cursive Writing Worksheet Generator

   I found this great worksheet generator for cursive writing exercises. You can either create a blank worksheet like this:

or ones with traceable words or sentences:

   Isn't it great? Following the introduction of KSSR, 'by the end of the 6-year primary schooling, pupils will be able to form letters and words in neat legible print including cursive writing.' However, I think cursive writing is also a required skill in KBSR since it's included in the KBSR Year 5 textbook. You can visit the worksheet generator at the link below:

LINK: CURSIVE HANDWRITING WORKSHEET GENERATOR

   I plan to use this generator to produce some worksheets for my lesson with Year 5 Z tomorrow. Some of them have rather terrible handwriting, even using normal handwriting, so I'm not quite sure how this will turn out, but you won't know until you try huh?


   I hope the week is turning out beautifully for everybody. To all teachers and future teachers, ganbatte ne! Remember, do everything for the sake of Allah and NEVER expect to get rewards or anything in return for what you're doing for your pupils now... only ask that Allah blesses you in all that you do. Otherwise, you'll end up being disappointed every single day of you life (imagine a class like the one I have to teach- 2D!) Take care!
