Anyone has boy’s uniform and doesn’t want to keep them anymore? I like to take over, thank you.

if there is any current K2 parent whose graduating son going Primary 1 2012 next year and does not need Newton kindergarten boy's uniform anymore or wish to give away, appreciate if you can help pass down son's uniform to porcupine12trade. Her K1 son needs them. Thank you very much for your kindness.

Hi parents


I am concern about 2 classes sharing a big room divided into 2. In the same big room, there'll b almost 50 kids for k1/2. Kids r easily distracted. Will they be distracted by the other class during lesson time?

I do agree I was rather taken aback by the classroom set up. The noise from the other half is not blocked out by the furniture cum room dividers. And the class is long and rather dark as the one large window is also being shared. Has this always been the case? I don't recall from my previous \"tour\" which was rather brief and cursory. Any parents of current students have any feedback?

Yes I spoke to the teachers, this has always been the set up. I’m rather disturbed by what I saw. Kids being kids, surely will b distracted.

My son (nursery) is coping fine with the set-up. Actually, the few times I’ve been in their classroom, I din’t notice the sounds from the other half of the class. The shelves etc. help to block the sound. I don’t find the classrooms dark, actually. My living room is probably darker!


Don’t worry about the noises from the other half. I think there will be enough noise from your child’s half of the class to drown out the other sounds! In fact, they are likely to be more distracted by a classmate whispering next to them, than sounds made by 10 kids next door.

And, there won’t be 50 kids in one room for the nursery classes. My sons class has only 12 kids.

Hi mummies,


Those whose kids are in newton this year; are both the teachers changed for the next year or is one of the teachers going up with your kids next year? Thanks

Hi Moom

no, the kids will have different teachers.

Hi IdoPilates
Yea, this is also my concern. They use shelves to block the noise. It can be quite noisy.

Hi mummies,
Understand that we can choose quite a number of enrichments coming to K1 n K2. Any comments on JL’s creative thinking skills, fast track, speech and drama by Helen, and Dscience? Seriously dun knw which to choose!

[postpet]

May I know what is the school fees for pre-nursery?

Octbride,


I wonder if it is noisy, how the kids focus on their own lessons n activity.
