east zone pe retreat is for HODs or SHs of east zone schools to attend. however my hod have to go hainan for a recce trip. so he asked me to take his place, and hence i went with my SH.
the pe retreat is held for two days (thursday and friday) at city beach resort! went there before and even stayed there before in 2010, because i was part of handball federation singapore in hosting the singapore youth handball tournament, whereby we hosted the handball teams from hong kong and taiwan.
on thursday the focus was on outdoor education. we did tent pitching, outdoor cooking and orienteering.
outdoor cooking was the most interesting! we got different menus to choose from: chicken rice, baked macaroni with cheese and popcorn. i immediately dragged my SH to the popcorn section and we fried our popcorn. damn thrilled when we heard the corn popping sound in the frying pan. hahahaha. and the other pe teachers who cooked the chicken rice did a fabulous job! the chicken rice really tasted exactly like chicken rice. i didnt get to taste the macaroni. haha.
our sch was also chosen to share our pe program, which i honestly dunno why we were chosen. so after we shared and after we hear from the other pe teachers, i found out the reason why. it is because we are one of the few schools that has implemented two hours of pe lessons for almost all the classes. and it is really not an easy job to make this happen. kudos to my hod and the pe dept! i am really thankful to be in this dept that is always so vibrant, so dynamic and so cohesive. my hod got tell us before that we are always envied by all the other departments, because we are so united and we are also pretty capable as individuals. :)
happy to see my pe classmates at the retreat! i have been teaching for four years plus already! omg.
