How to Get to Know More About School from my Child

[Andaiz]

tamarind:

Her class also has a blog, but so far there is nothing much in there yet.

A blog at 6 plus 7 years old?! :!: wow! I better get started myself!

Thanks tamarind jie for your pointer about writing in Chinese :celebrate: !

For my otherwise confident and chatty DD1, school is often \"like that\", and \"okay\". Sometimes it takes time to tease out the details from her. I give her a half B5 size (dunno the exact dimensions but it's about the palm size for a child) notebook for her to doodle when she doesn't read. She brings this along and it's quite amazing what she scribbles/doodles in there! It's very situational and very \"to the minute\" as it captures what's going on in school/with her classmates!

Andaiz,

I mean her class teacher has setup a blog for parents to find out what is happening in class

I think that writing one or two sentences in Chinese everyday is much better than attending any Chinese creative writing classes

She may say, today Raymond bent down to touch his knees and we saw
his yellow underpants and laughed.

My girl told me that one boy said he has 100 girl friends :!: He is certainly not the type of kids that I want my girl to mix with.

Thanks for the clarifcation on the blog. Very good method!


With regards to the Chinese sentences, it probably gives the child great satisfaction to be able to communicate what is important to her! Sure beats creative writing classes!

I personally feel that making an effort to remember their friend’s names, happenings, hobbies, characters … can help to open up more conversation. And this also proves to them, we care for all the happenings revolving them.

Talking about friends, I bought this book for my girl to prepare her for P1 :


Friends: Making Them & Keeping Them

My girl loves it. The pictures are lovely. It is a very good book teaching girls how to make new friends, and how to maintain a good relationship with friends. I think adults can benefit from reading this book too The reading level is for age 9 to 12, parents can read to the kids if they cannot read at this level yet.
