Some personal grumbling & feelings....Pls ignore if you feel it's offensive.Sorry Thanks!


Saw my son's chinese spelling test. ALL Hanyu Pinyin ! Maybe I'm old school but I'm wondering how kids are gonna learn chinese like that? Yes, we type Hanyu Pinyin into computers now,the chinese words associated with it will appear. but if computer break down how?!!
So does that mean we can write to the chinese teacher using hanyu pinyin in email?or ask our kids to hand in hanyu pinyin compositions for exams?
I'm actually very disappointed with this. Perhaps next time Chinese wouldn't know how to write/read mandarin at all...I feel that their generation already lose out of not knowing dialects...now mandarin....haizzz.. It feel like my son have been a guinea pig for education system. During PAP Kindergarten, they used \"Phonics\" to teach English. Now they used Hanyu Pinyin to teach Chinese. Then if given a few years, this don't work..MOE just change their system again...Haizz :stupid: :shock: Let's wait and see....

Languages (english,mandarin,spanish,japanese,etc) are all learn the same way. Read, Write, Listen, Speak. Nowadays kids are so smart, they actually pick up fast if we can use creative ways to teach them these 4 things.....It also bores down to how well we know our kids. From there. we can know the way that is most suitable to teach and nurture our kids.

My 2 kids are worlds apart, I always say 1 north pole,1 south pole.Y? coz 1 is the logical,hearing type (think of mathematician). one is the visual,creative side (think of artist). 2 different methods of teachings is needed for both!Now I must crack my \"creative juice\" to think of ways to teach this Hanyu Pinyin Mandarin to my son! Haizzz.... :lol:

Hi,


No homework for 1 Inno today. Must bring Health booklet & report book.

[Icymummy]

Dear All Mummies,


Please remember This coming Thursday (20/01/2011) is Primary 1 Interest Group Day. Our Kids will be wearing PE Attire the whole day (Girls must bring/wear their skirt). Need to be in school by 9.50am.

Let hope they enjoy their interest group!

Cheers!

No homework for 1 loyal too. They would be having spelling today

[babycutie71]

Imp75,


Does Rae has her own locker key? Bel said she hasn’t got hers & her partner lost the key.

I wanted to keep a spare PE attire in her locker.

[Imp75]

Yes rae has her own locker key which she keeps it safely in her purse. I am sure the school has spares if the children lose the key

[babycutie71]

Thanks. I have written to Mrs Teng on this issue and get the teacher to keep the PE attire for Bel. I believe the locker key is issued to the pupils during Bel’s absence.


Also Bel hasn’t receive her thermometer yet. I thought pupils need to take temperature everyday? I wonder how she get with it with no thermometer. Mrs Teng said each pupil in P1 will get a ODT. Again, it was issued during her absence.

Icymummy - My boys are also same as yours. Two poles apart. Yes, me too hv to crack my brain on how to help them in school work.


Ya, I saw the P1 spelling paper. Was surprised it was done in that way. But I think this is not really a bad method since the first part of book A are all about HYPY. I guess they are training the kids to listen and write the correct HYPY loh. But I must admit it may not be easy since the kids can easily make mistake given all the MCQs.....I also agree that they should learn words first....Wasted all the effort in K1/K2. He forgot all the words he learnt...
