Hello,
Do not know whether am I posting in the correct thread
but like to share & learn from all parents here :celebrate:
My DD2 will be P1 in 2012 and we are more kan cheong for her than DD1 especially Chinese as we always joking tease my DD2 \"eat potatoes\" category :lol: . DD2 speaks English most of the time at home and in school, it is also her 1st choice to speak with her classmates. So, I am preparing her as well as myself for the \"new thing\" coming soon....... :rahrah:
Last week, I was teaching her Chinese using a K2 assessment book as a reference and I was,\"Oh, my gosh! K2's Chinese also so cheemmmmm!\" :yikes: Upload a few pages here to share with you all

Hi Brenda,
Wow. Her hand writting are very neat. Really impressive. :love:
Thanks for the compliment :love: ....
I did not go straight into P1 Chinese assessment book as I was reminded by friends and also parents here (Janet Lee, Plum-Cake) not to rush into getting her to start the P1 syllabus as that might kill her interest .
But when I sat down to do this K2 assessment book with her, I was like,\"errrr....cheemmmm leh!\" Then my P3 DD1 \"trying to help\" translate all the sea creatures names into English and started telling DD2 about what is mammal, sea-horse has no backbone....etc..etc...And she was into P3 Science with her sister! :laugh:
Then the next topic on ηΎδΈ½ηθ±θζ ζ¨ - where they have the picture showing the different parts of the plants. Again, my DD1 started her story on it and translated on the terms into English! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Guess, it is a good thing too - kill 2 birds with one stone - teaching Chinese and Science at the same time :hi5: -
Hi
Did anyone teach their children how to recognise $$?
Oso how much did you give now as allowance? -
We started by giving DD a $1 coin, though she could already calculate $$ before starting P1. However, it is better to give them $1 or $1 + $0.50. The canteen vendor will help these P1s. You can also start them by letting them take $$ to buy things when you are out with them.

my ils runs a hardware business so sometimes they get DS & DD to help sell stuff. Simple tasks like when an item cost $2 and the customer gives a $5 note, we ask DS (the elder one) to calculate the change to return the customer. ( training him in his add or sub skills)
then if an item cost maybe like $0.70 & the customer gives $1 coin, we ask DD (the younger one) to see what & what coin = the amt to give back. ( sometimes with DS helping her)
training her to differentiate between the types of coins: $0.05, $0.10, $0.20, $0.50 & $1.00. she knows all of them by hard now.
For DS, its more on training & practise. For DD, it more of exposure & a little training

Is $1 enough to eat a meal? I have no idea at all as I have not been to a primary school in 20 years. -

Depends on school - you need to check out canteen. DD's school canteen's food is usually $0.60 - $0.90. We do not allow her to buy drinks as she brings water to school. So $1 is enough for her.Pen88n:

On 1st few days of P1, kids usually have buddies (older children to bring them around) during recess. Most schools also allow you to be there for the 1st few days, though may not be able to go near to them. You can see and adjust the pocket $$ amount accordingly. -
on those days where you packet home-cooked lunch for child, $1 should be enough. hope that they donβt spend entire $1 on buying stationery.
