Help! P2 Higher Chinese

[ningy]

Hi

My DD2 never uses the zi bao bao although it is in the booklist; I’m thinking of buying a set and use it during the school holidays. Can someone advise on how to use these chinese characters cards? Do I go thru each one (so many in 1 box and there’re 2 boxes!) or is there a method/ game to make use of the cards to form words or sentences? Thanks in advance for your help.

The 字宝宝comprises 生字found in textbook A and B, which explains why u have 2 sets. U can go thru all the words one by one, according to the units in the text book. One simple game to play with yr child : U can place the cards on the table, then u read out one word aloud, and let yr child find that particular word. If u have more than one child playing, u can also carry out the game in a competitive manner ( children love that pinch of competitiveness), whoever find the word can keep that card, and the winner goes to the one with the most cards.

Just my 2 cents…

Hi parents, happened to see this thread and see that mummies are wondering how to use zi bao bao.


something to share with you.

you can make a fishing rod using a string attached with a magnet.
put paper clips on each card
then let your kids use the string that comes with magnet to attract the card (paper clip part).

You can be the teacher by reading the words out for him to "fish".

It is quite fun!

I did that in school with my pupils .

btw, HCL chinese text from P1-P4 are actually about the same as CL Text, the only difference is that HCL for P1-P4 are of more words.

The child is only required to take the "real" HCL at p5. Therefore, results is important at P4 for the school to see if he will go to HCL class in P5 and continue to P6.
those who cant go to HCL class will study standard CL text or foundation text.
hope my explanations are clear

Hi folks, for Primary 2 SA2, what will the HMT ‘Social Studies’ paper comprise of? Anything to mug and prepare for, or is it based on general language proficiency and nothing to study for?


TIA!

My girl is selected to study higher Chinese nest year P2 as she got quite high for her P1 Chinese. However, I'm not very sure of what they will be learning for higher Chinese as compared to the normal Chinese. Could someone advise of this? Will it be a lot more difficult for Higher Chinese as compared to the normal one? If possible, could someone point me to some resources where I can download some Higher Chinese tests/worksheets?

I'm quite worried that she will not be able to cope with it.

If you compare the higher Chinese textbook & the normal Chinese textbook, there is not much different. Since she got high mark for her chinese & then she will be fine.

I think whether all the words in the zi bao bao are used depends on the teacher. These cards are meant to supplement their current textbook and may not necessarily be used (if at all). But if you can teach, why not? Actually many schools have already started higher chinese in P1 and the difference between HMT and normal chinese is not really that huge for lower primary, just additional words to be learned. IMO, the major difference comes in P5.

Hi Sakura_2009,
DS MT Sir didnt really hardly use zi bao bao in P1. Always behind schedule for Chinese spelling. Now DS is offer HMT in P2. Does your kind has HMT? What assement book will you recommen?

Not all schools use zi bao bao. Popular has a lot of higher Chinese assessment books.

高级华文必须要打好基础，因为只要字词基础打好，在做高级华文的时候不会吃力，其实难度并不大，不过是比普通华文考的细。
