Newton Kindergarten

hi stsy_26, junietan


:welcome: to our kindy :laugh: :dancing: :boogie:

since only got school bus for 4 hrs N1 (not 3 hrs), and yr child next yr 2012 onwards start N2 Term 1 also 4 hrs, perhaps just go ahead and enrol her for this yr 4 hrs N1 in Term 4. It's only for 1 term. Let her get used to the 4 hrs daily routine. Come next yr when she start N2, it'll be a breeze for you, since rehearsal already done.

to stay an hour longer everyday, tea time + short snacks are prepared for pupils. Your DD2 will get to eat lots of fresh fruits everyday. Different day, different type of fruits. Auntie Lilian (our in house cook/chef) will prepare cut banana, pear, mango, apple, orange, strawberries, kiwi, water melon, papaya, etc, for tea time. Natural fruits provide fibre, are good for bowel motion. Your girl will be well taken care of, by N1 teachers. Dun worry.

yes, she might cry for initial first 3 days - because environment is new to her. Normal lah, for kids starting school! Soon, she will fit in well, start to mix and interact with her classmates socially, chit chat & engage with her form teachers. She'll be her happy self again! Perhaps first week, sit inside the school bus with her. Enjoy the air-con school bus ride, familiarise yourself with the school bus route. Have fun!

hi,


earlier on, Newton kindy gave out forms to parents, inviting all parents to attend a special seminar to train our kindergarten kids. Help our children acquire sharp, instant photographic, excellent Memory skills, from young.

this is an important, useful life core skill. Such beneficial skill is applicable throughout the child's life. We are grateful that our Principal has taken the initiative, to organize such a wonderful seminar like this for us.

however, since we cannot garner enough minimum 100 parents to attend, the seminar was unable to take off, at Newton kindy. A number of parents who wanted to sign up eagerly were turned away, feeling disappointed.

however, i just found out a good lobang, wanna share with you :lol:

info … lobang


for Newton parents keen for kids to take up external English enrichment lessons from N2 to K2, may consider I-Creative Learning (ICL), established > 20 years ago.

normal waiting / queuing time is …. 2 years. Yes! It’s that long.

ICL seldom advertise on TV. It is by ‘word of mouth’ from parents and recommendation that news spread fast. To date, good feedback has been received from parents:-

ICL has a unique English curriculum, well structured.

the curriculum places heavy emphasis building up vocabulary storehouse from scratch, grammar and the important component element, ‘compo writing’. When kids reach K2 Term 2 (around March onwards), most of them are more than ready for Primary 1.

you may request to view some pupils’ ‘10 lines’ simple, short essays writing. you may request ICL teachers to show you some sample English essay compositions written by K2 kids, ‘peppered’ with colourful, creative drawings drawn, using their own imagination. You be surprised & amazed at how creative these kids are!

ICL lessons are conducted ‘home-based’. Maximum allowed only 6 pupils per group. As such, due to sufficient attention in small group, teachers able to feedback to parents … what are the unique strengths and weaknesses faced by each pupil, which areas of difficulty the child encounter specifically, and what areas of improvement to work upon, hand in hand between teacher and parents ?

school fees: $200 per Term (reasonable).

lobang ….at Cantonment area, Teacher Ivy has some vacancies right now.

some parents had approached her to start new classes, urgent! But need 6 pupils to form per class, before can start. If you are keen, can click here to check the available time slots on which day (scroll right to the bottom of webpage), or pm me to get her contact telephone :-
