Hello Jenny


I was thinking of registering my son (turning 4 this yr) for JK, but was very worried about him catching flu easily in the aircon environment. How is your observation so far? How’s the teacher? Which level is your child in? N1 or N2?

Hello Picolo


Today is the 3rd day he go to school, frist day he cry, 2nd day also cry, but last night i ask him, how is the school, he says very good and he likes the teacher very much and the food very delicious.

Today he still wake up early and ask me bring him to school early

he is turn to 5 this year and is K1 now, i let him to childcare when he is turn to 3,i change 4 childcare include this one due to many reason.

If you scare he get flu easily, you can let him wear a singlet inside the long jumper and bring the blanket or ask teacher help him to wear the sock when he sleep at noon.

so not need to worry much

Regards
Jenny

Hi Jenny


Good to know that. I was at the hawker centre this morning and saw kids in JK's uniforms walking to JK happily. Make me more tempted to send kid to school to improve social skills.

When I knew JK (BB) had several cases of HFMD and Chickenpox later last year, I forfeited the deposit and didn't start him this year. Now I probably have to pay for those again ... :stupid:

[JennyP]

haha, oh i see!


actually the chicken pox and HFMD not that scarly la, my son also, i bring him to child clinic, 2 days recover already

beside, my son is single child when he is not start the childcare, he very lonely, now he can play with everyone and he improved his social skill a lot and can share thing with others

Not worry, be happy :love:

Regards
Jenny

Hi


Just check with you, is JustKids provide additional phonics classess for K1 kids? What do u think of their learning program?

[kingspark]

Hi Jenny, sorry for the late reply. Yes, I sent my son there. He adapted well and is happy there.

Hi Picolo


You mentioned that your child is in K1. Has he settled down? Did the school uses the Jolly phonics and grammer as mentioned?

Thanks!

Hi Parents,


My girl is now in Just Kids K2 Flexi (4 hrs/day) class, she has been there from playgroup to nursery to K1 and K2. The teachers there are nice and professional, just that some Chinese teacher(from China) dont know English, English teacher(Malay/Indian) don't speak Chinese, so grandparents got difficulties to communicate. But they are nice from cleaners, students, teachers to principal, they are all very friendly and greet everyone. My girl now greets everyone she always meets regularly from school, shops and even market...

This school is a 3 storey-building, (so prepare to CLIMB ALOT), I have been climbing for 3 yrs+. They have quite strict inspection for HFMD and Chicken pox follow by handrub, my girl had one ulcer in her mouth which cause her unable to attend class for few days. Their class are separate according to different ages and hours they attend. Eg, K2 Flexi (4hrs), they break down to smaller groups like daisy and orchid.

Different teachers have different ways of teaching, eg when she is in K1, Ms Tan and Teacher Tay, they will pass message verbally for the students to go back and do some assignments without giving a time frame, just to observe how does the kids proceed in doing it and give feedback to us every term. (Assignment like collecting diff flowers, draw diff shapes, write our words with nut in them..).

Just Kids provides Gymkids, Abacus class, Speech and Drama in English and Chinese classes, which my child just have to stay back another 45mins to attend all the classes. She enjoys it and becomes very talkative and joyful, and with a little more encouragement to make her read library books regularly, she can speak and read English and Chinese very well. But when she brings back Abacus homework, I will have headache, have to check few pages of maths sums. (Now she can do maths like 888+888+888= 2664 like the way we did them in Primary school)

Overall, I love this school.
