Does any parents here send your child to the Pei Hwa school day care centre ? Hope to gather some comments / feedback on their services and environment. Appreciate any valuable comments.

Don’t worry unnecessary for the cirriculum now. Esp if you know my P2 gal, she totally could not write her chinese character names when she enters P1. She could not even stay in a mandarin conversation for 1 min. She was taking normal CL in another school and now she has to switch to HCL. I was worried (alittle) for her that she has to cope with moxie and even chinese idioms/sayings that, to me, is beyond her comprehension. To my surprise, the girl managed to catch up. Kids nowadays are surprisingly amazing.


PHPPS teachers are generally caring and patience. At least my gal’s FT and her CL tr are especially kind and loving to aid her in her adaptation into her new environment.

WOW :!: sounds very stressful. especially since she don't speak mandarin at hm and still have slight 'ang mo' accent when she speaks. Already startg to look for formal chinese enrichment lesson for her....... that its not too late!


Btw, if the enrichment passages are not covered in class, does it mean that they have extra lesson?

Thks the info

I think streaming is good. The better ones need not be bored waiting for the slower ones to catch up, the slower ones get a more relaxed learning environment.

The enrichment passages are covered during the normal curriculum hours, no extra lesson.

Like what IJJ mentioned, kids pick up very quickly.

Jen, are you going to the lower primary sport day this fri? Was hoping to go as PV or audience, yet they rejected my offer as a PV(due to my preg) and disallow any spectator this time round.


Just venting and feeling a little disappointed.

DS2 missed the whole of last week, we did not know abt the arrangement till yesterday he came back with the letter.

I remember last year, all parents were invited. Due to some reasons, I did not go. Told DS2 that I would go this year, but then now H1N1 spreading like fire, maybe the sch wants to control crowd.

Can understand your frustration.

Actually if you can, start by reading simple CL story books to her. It helps more than attending once a week a few hours of CL enrichment classes. JMHO

Fully agree. Reading and listening are very important.

Btw, just to add. My gal has 2 CL moxie a week. The regular tingxie/moxie comprises of word/phrases from list given by tr with 2 surprise chinese idioms/sayings(成语,谚语,论语) (which tr will go thru about one every other day in class) and another moxie on phrases base on 5 senses (五感佳句). Every fortnight/ 3 weeks, CL tr will also ask them to memorise a tangshi (唐诗). Hence, it will be good to start exposing your kids into these early. Don't be too anxious if your child has not started yet. Its a good-to-have knowledge. Not going to be tested in P2 exam.
