Hi KS parent..

I will need to meet you after i come back from buisness trip ... most probably after CNY as flying off this thurs liao... sianz again...

SIL give me a book on my next year \" 运辰\" and it seem like i need to travel more ... :yikes: :faint: ... and cannot :siam: as it is said that is good to leave the birth place so can have more good luck and apportunity...

No problems, Crystalbelle. All of us just want our kids to have the best and appreciate the things we had done for them.

It is always good to travel for business trips..makes your CV colourful and to see the world at large with good experience..

I think at my age, difficult to find another employer whom are appreiciating with colorful CV
stuck with the present employer and hope to make the best of it lor....

Anyway, KS Parent, thank for the encouragement...

Hi Crystalbelle
Yes, Berries is an enrichment centre like Tien Hsia. At Berries, they do not have ting xie. But my nephews study at Tien Hsia, they have ting xie weekly. You may want to check out their websites. Its very difficult to get into Tien Hsia as they have a long waiting list.

Hi Dorisp, its teacher in short . My collegue just told us that her kids was under stress when the teacher in P1 dun teach HYPY as they think that the kid should know lor....
Now i also confuse as most of the CC is teaching HYPY but kindergarten under MOE do not teach as they say P1 will teach lor...

Now in dilema whether to send DS now to enrichment class to learn HYPY but he is still learning phonics so a bit wary that he might mix them up

Thanks for the clarification crystal, for a moment I thought no more Hanyu Pinyin from P1 next year and wanted to go ahead and book a table to celebrate with DS+DH.......... :rahrah:


I heard the kindy is not teaching Hanyu Pinyin (perhaps I will check with DS's teacher again later). If they are not teaching now but the future P1 teacher expects them to know, then it means........ :shock: :shock: :shock:

sorry for getting you “空欢喜”... i too wish that MOE can strike off the HYPY .. does not do any good lor...

The chinese teacher from my DS new Kindy which we have just attend their induction workshop told us this. She say she will not teach any HYPY as MOE do not recommend kindy to teach this in pre-school as the pre-school teacher are not train in this so they are afraid to teach wrongly.. she says that P1 teacher will teach ( that comes the confusing part when my collegue told me that P1 does not teach)...

But under the same MOE accredicted CC ( DS ex CC ), says they will be teaching HYPY thus stopping to teach phonics in K2 lor :faint: :lightrod:
