Newton Kindergarten

[phtthp]

hi,


from our kindy, for girls – one very hot, popular Primary school destination a number of parents aim for and would love to send their daughters to after K2 is ... SCGS (Singapore Chinese Girls’ primary school).

do you want to dance ?

at SC, the school teach the girls pick up graceful dancing through dance modules like ballet, Chinese cultural dance, etc - injected into their school curriculum. The school groom & cultivate the girls grow up feminine, polite, teach the girls graciousness, lady-like femininity, project confidence in speaking / articulation, acquire good social interaction skills, learn how to grace the occasions intelligently, learn how to talk and hold conversations with wit, interestingly. You can spot an SC girl !

from our kindy, for boys – one popular Primary school destination parents send their sons to after K2 is ... ACS (Anglo Chinese primary).

will be great & wonderful if our ex Newton kindergarten alumni parents can step forward, help to verify those listed in 10(a) to (f). Especially if your child is currently studying, or had ever studied before in that SAP school, from (a) to (f).

Thank you very much, to all ex-Newton parents, for your kind, supportive feedback, to help compile a complete list of SAP schools our children go to after K2 graduation. Thank you for uplifting Newton kindergarten alma mater school spirit !

:thankyou:

phttp,thanks for providing so much information.


My ger is actually from ur previous kindy so when i read the thread i actually ended up coming to here.

Can i check with u what is the main motivating factor that made u change kindy? My ger is in N1 now, she loves the current sch and lks forward to going sch everyday. That is y i cant bear to take her out from a sch that she loves going. Can you share w me more abt Newton, the class size, the teachers, the env.. how different from ur previous and most imptantly is ur kid happy? Btw, how do u compare the stds of the 2 kindys?coz ur kids is still quite young rite.

I have no idea how to compare their wrk cause i am not farmiliar w kindy stuffs.. not sure what they shld learn at K1 and K2.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

hi genice,


may i know what is yr N1 girl’s pre-school ? Not sure if her current pre-school is the same my girl’s ex pre-school.

[genice]

phtthp… the one at dempsey, same one?

[phtthp]

hi genice,


err ... Sorry. My daughter's ex pre-school wasn't St. James church kindergarten (SJK), the branch at Dempsey road !

perhaps you may ask octbride, over private mail (pm).
her child's ex pre-school N1 last year was SJK.

alternately, you may read her comments on page 19 of this thread:-

info sharing … for children with learning difficulty.

eg: speech delay, mild dyslexia, mild autistic kids.
the spectrum for above learning challenges, is very wide.

we just had our PMT last week. Feedback on our child’s individual learning progress in school, his learning attitude & behaviour in school, his level of self-motivation to learn new things, his communication skills, his level of social interaction, participation with his teachers, his peers, etc.

some of the pupils with above challenging condition studying in our pre-school are coping well. Perhaps their condition is minor. Hence, they are able to integrate into our Newton kindy mainstream. Most parents at the same time concurrently will send these children affected for external speech therapy improvement elsewhere - either at KK hospital or private clinical practice, at Early Intervention critical help centres. These children attend 2 kindergarten - the Early Intervention centre (3x or 5x per week) and Newton kindy.

hi N2-K2 Newton parents,


P1 maths can be a nightmare. Lots of tricky questions, require higher order thinking.

unless your kid is naturally gifted, or parents are very effective teaching them at home. 'coz nowadays, teachers don't really teach much in school. They can set difficult questions, explain a bit, but whether the kid really get it or not, it’s up to the child.

info … P1 Maths onwards.

every 5 to 7 years, MOE may revise Maths curriculum.
from 2013 onwards, could be new changes to Maths curriculum methodology.
