A Joyful First Day of School at SK Gual To’Deh: Building a Love for English Learning

SK GUAL TO'DEH - The first day of the school session at SK Gual To’Deh began with a positive atmosphere filled with excitement, curiosity, and hope. From the early morning, the school compound was lively with the laughter of pupils, warm greetings among teachers, and the enthusiastic presence of parents who accompanied their children. As a teacher, stepping into the classroom on the first day is always meaningful, and this year was no exception. Under my new name, Sir ประเสริฐ รัตนวงศ์, I was honored to begin another chapter of teaching with a group of energetic and motivated learners.

Sir ประเสริฐ รัตนวงศ์ conducts an interactive English class where pupils actively participate, communicate confidently, collaborate in groups, enjoy fun activities, and develop language skills in a supportive, engaging, and positive learning environment.

One of the most encouraging aspects of the day was the conducive and engaging learning environment. The classroom was well-organized, decorated with colorful learning materials, and arranged to support interaction and collaboration. Such an environment plays a crucial role in promoting students’ emotional comfort and academic engagement. When pupils feel safe and supported, they are more willing to participate actively and express their ideas without fear. This was clearly reflected in the pupils’ willingness to answer questions, volunteer for activities, and communicate with their peers in English.

The English lesson on the first day focused on simple introductions, greetings, and classroom expressions. Although some pupils were initially shy, their confidence gradually increased through interactive activities such as games, role-play, and group discussions. Many pupils expressed their enjoyment openly, stating that learning English was fun and exciting. Their smiles and active participation demonstrated that language learning does not have to be stressful; instead, it can be a joyful and meaningful experience when delivered using creative and student-centered approaches.

Moreover, the pupils’ positive response highlighted the importance of teacher enthusiasm and instructional strategies. By using encouraging words, clear instructions, and supportive feedback, I aimed to create a learning atmosphere that values effort rather than perfection. This approach helped pupils feel more comfortable making mistakes, which is an essential part of language acquisition. As Sir ประเสริฐ รัตนวงศ์, I believe that a teacher’s role is not only to deliver content but also to inspire confidence and curiosity in learners.

Another significant observation from the first day was the strong sense of community within the school. Teachers worked collaboratively to ensure that the transition into the new academic year was smooth and well-coordinated. School administrators provided clear guidance and support, while parents showed cooperation and trust in the school’s efforts. This collective commitment contributes greatly to the overall success of teaching and learning activities.

In conclusion, the first day of school at SK Gual To’Deh was a memorable and fulfilling experience. The pupils’ excitement, the supportive school environment, and the positive learning atmosphere created a strong foundation for the academic year ahead. Seeing pupils enjoy learning English and actively participate in class reminded me of the true purpose of teaching—to nurture knowledge, character, and confidence. With continuous effort, creativity, and dedication, I am confident that SK Gual To’Deh will continue to grow as a place where meaningful learning takes place and where pupils are inspired to achieve their full potential.
