          My girl is enjoying herself too.

          The ‘homework’ from home is way more more more than school… hahahahaha…

          Just yesterday, she enthusiastically dressed like an artist for us to take picture in preparing her class speech presentation ‘My Ambition’ ^^

              No idea on PV… maybe other parents who went through this route can advise.

                    Yes P1 🙂
                    The dress up isn't any serious stuff.. we were just fooling around with make-shift materials found at home. But I have to admit our participation increase her enthusiasm...

                    As for her ambition, never take it seriously... afterall its just kids' talk...
                    We just want them to have fun...

                      Come back with homework/art work to be done at home almost everyday, and there's test almost every week, so what do you think? I also heard things like \"very little homework for P1\" before my son entered P1, but it's not true as it turns out. So to conclude, it's hard to say stress or not, it depends on many other things like teacher, school, system, MOE, and the new Education Minister now....

                        i heard from my frens whose nephews and neices in Nan chiau that they have a lot of homework and tests when they were in p1 2 years ago. Very stressed.

                        then this year another fren whose kid in p1 told me her girl doing word tracing for English homework, as in trace dotted lines of the alphabets of the words. Hmm, wonder if different teachers give different homework :? My girl will sure complain if she is made to do letter tracing
