Nan Hua Primary

Need not stress yourself. Pri 1 is ok. Wait till your kid is in higher pri, more classes and less time to play. Let your child enjoy herself now.

Hi,

Anyone can guide me on what thing to prepare my gal for NH P1?
I have sent her to those normal RC kind of P1 prep class and just started her at Tian Xia chinese class. I find very stressful for her already. That should be enough right?

Dun stress yourself. As of term 1, my boy dun have much hmwork, juz chinese & english spelling once a wk. English spelling words are quite simple, easier than K2 std actually. Chinese spelling started off with hanyu pinyin. So if your gal knows hypy, should have no prob adjusting into P1.

I find it strange as her childcare mentioned that the spelling system will be removed soon. And that’s why now, in K2, no chinese or english spelling. And they told me the HYPY wun be ephasize in K2 syllabus too. She has totally no interest in reading and not able to read sentence at K2 standard. Is the childcare too relax?

it really depends on the childcare ur gal is attending. What i can tell you is there's definitely Chinese and English Spelling in NH. for term 1, chinese spelling consists of only HYPY. then for term 2 (april onwards), will start to have mixture of HYPY and chinese characters. the latest chinese spelling list i got is til end Sept, still have HYPY but consists more of chinese characters.

my boy's cc starts to teach HYPY from 2nd half of K1. he also dun like to read but he can read if i test him. coz he did learn a lot of words through spelling.

NH really focus a lot on chinese. so if your gal's cc dun teach HYPY, my advise is you send her for chinese enrichment. at least she won't feel so stress when she starts P1. my boy attends Berries from K1 onwards, bcoz he tells me he hates chinese. Berries is not very academic but their classes are very fun yet at the same time help to build up his chinese foundation.

i did not enrol my boy for any P1 prep classes, the only enrichment he goes to is Berries. and he has no prob with P1 work as of now.

Hi, my kids childcare also does not have English and Chinese spellings. But they will teach some basic HYPY towards 2nd half of K2. I would suggest you to expose your kid to some HYPY before entering P1. Other than that I don't think any \"additional help\" is needed.

[maywong]

Her P1 prep class is to help her to read. As I reckon that she has to know how to read to assist her in English and Maths Problem sums.

As for chinese, that’s for foundation for HYPY. Didnt expect her to focus so much. She will need time to adjust during 1st half of P1 days.

For Nan Hua primary students going to Nan Hua High also not affiliated, no \"discount\" of PSLE score. But Since NH high is SAP, most Nan Hua primary students would have 1(pass),2(merit), or 3(distinction) points to add to PSLE score for their higher Chinese.
