Hi MSHS parents,


I am a newbie My son is starting P1 in MSH next year and we are so excited for him!
I heard that MSH requires all its boys to get a Macbook. Wondering if any parents can help tell me when the boys are required to get the Mac? Is it in P1 or later on?

Thanks a million!

[quote=\"Namie\"]My colleagues whose daughter will be entering Aitong next year, told me that all the P1s entering Aitong have been attending Hanyu Pinyin class at Aitong since last week.

This is getting me worried... I placed my son in Berries' pre-P1 Hanyu Pinyin class. His HYPY is still very koyak...

hi cherrygal, my son hypy is bad too. he has been with berries for more than one year already. anyway, i decided not to rush it la. give them time. i believe he will pick it up when the time comes. i dun remember having hanyu pinyu class in k2 during my time. but i still pick it up when i was in p3. dun think it shd be an issue at this point, right?[/quote]My son is not keen in Mandarin especially Hanyu Pinyin. There was once we drove past Catholic High and he said \"I don't want to go to this school. All these Chinese Chinese words look so old fashion\". My mum said it is my retribution because that was how I used to behave.

Hi, the boys in the Primary level are not require to buy any Macbook. Only the secondary level students are required to buy.

haha :laugh:
well, i used to enjoy chinese in pri sch but my son dun like. if that is any consolation to you.
he doesnt like hypy because he always got confused with the phonic. Example, You (in EL) and you (in CL). He always pronounce it as You (in EL). We decided to take it easy on hypy. Just let him recognise chinese character first. Which luckily he find it easier than hypy.

I think that macbook is required in sec 1. Personally, I have misgivings about having an individual computer for each child in class. I think the teachers will not be able to monitor that everyone is on the same task or on the same webpage! :lol:

Is there any thread specifically for those going p1 in msh next year?

[2DMommy]
