Dear phttp,


Thanks for the information.

Will call Auntie Ong before I decide.

I did not manage to see the worksheets the last time I visited.

Any idea if they do penmanship in pre-nursery? And the progression of writing? In both EL and CL?

hi chrisbear,


Sorry, my child not from Newton N1, not sure. Perhaps ask P to show you sample N1 worksheets again, or other parents whose child currently in N1, or ever study in N1 before can comment. Thank you.

Dear phtthp,


Thanks for your speedy response.

Will check with the other parents.

Cheers…

Hi all, any comments regarding writing and its progression in N1 for Newton Kindy?

[phtthp]

regarding next Thursday and Friday PMT (Parents meet Teachers) session on 26 and 27 May, for feedback on your child’s learning progress for past Term 1 and Term 2 - for those who can’t apply / take leave easily from work to come on that morning, you may arrange with your child’s form teacher to … let you have it first thing in the morning. Means your child will be the first one, right very early in the morning. This way, you don’t have to apply leave.


the earliest time slot for PMT is 8 am.

info ... for N2 PM parents seeking transfer to AM session next year.


for N2, 7 vacancies are now left for transfer to AM session next yr, 2012. if any N2 parent is interested, may request for the transfer now. Inform Mrs. Tan. Come 2012, your child can be in K1, AM session.

however, do resolve school bus issue first. Ensure that:-

i) your child can wake up early, eat breakfast quickly.

ii) got school bus go your house early in the morning to fetch your child.

iii) on those days where your child take enrichment lessons, got school bus fetch your child home, after the enrichment end.

phtthp:

the list of enrichment is listed on the school’s website here:

http://www.newtonkindergarten.com/centres/?dxuid=SG010296&&pageid=1865

a)\tfor PM session kids (11.45 am – 3.45 pm), enrichment is 1 hour duration in the morning (before school starts), 10.15 am – 11.15 am.

kids staying at Toa Payoh and Bishan very lucky. Got school bus transport, for both sessions. Both AM and PM sessions also have! Inside the school bus for each session, 90% kids stay in Bishan, remaining 10% stay in Toa Payoh.

I live in TPY. My block here got 1 gal go to Newton Kindy but bus come very early leh. If child take sch bus, what time usually reach sch?

I heard from other forum that newton is rather unfairly costly at times. They gave example like during some performances day, parents were not allowed to take picture but instead have to buy the poor quality VCD.


Also, as the school is chinese base, how is their english standard?
Some kindergarten start creative writing at K1/K2 level, how about newton?

I am concern about it as I have a strong intention to enrol my child into newton next year. Can anyone help to clear my doubt? thanks!
