Staff Development : Mengatam Padi





One day a GB decided to take his staff out on a development afternoon.. Thinking 'Why not bawa mengatam guru-guru saya ani?" and so, the task of dragging his teachers out happened! :)

Not all attended the afternoon session due to health problems and some personal problems, but others stayed and watched in awe of how the locals in Merangking 'mengatam padi'... It was a fun afternoon for most teachers because it's a once in a lifetime experience.. and most were 'first timers' too... :) Trip towards the place was honestly 'disturbing' but heading back was 'fun'.. going to we had to go through the flood waters knee high level and teachers were advised to use boots earlier by GB.Heading there we met with heavy downpour thus stopped by at a hut to wait it out. Cikgu Jamal taught us how to use the 'katam' and then teachers were of to 'mengatam' on their own... :) Not even the the murky waters can stop those teachers from doing what they did... :)

The session ended at 3.30pm and we headed back and was invited to Penghulu Bersara Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah Sambang's home for a rest and refreshments. Teachers can't stop talking about the fun of mengatam padi and look back at pictures taken... All in all, everyone including our dear GB, had a fun afternoon away from the office... :)

Ok all.. thank you for reading and we'll be back for more updates on SRM's blog.. till then take care...
