Immeemee,


Agreed with you. The sentences used in the teacher’s model composition is of advance level which a P2 is still not able to cope. Unless that child has a very good Chinese foundation background.

yah lor, my doter does not have a strong chinese foundation and thus she struggles. how do you manage the situation? I am not convinced that we should be sending her for tuition at this stage but looking at the rate its going I am getting worried ... :sad:

imp75, good to see that your doter is ok in handling this. if she's not complaining, then she should be coping fine. :celebrate:

my dd just gotten back the 写作指导 on this Wed, the day before EL exam, can u imagine?! and CL teacher asked to copy 2 model compos…still haven’t got the chance to look into it… and dd did not copy yet !!, for the whole year, this is the first compos…

[Imp75]

Are our daughters all in the same class? The Chinese hw sounds familiar! I am quite indifferent abt her hw, just let her do it!

[babycutie71]

I guess should be same class. I get my girl to finish copying the 2 compos before revising English with her.


Immeemee, my girl is attending Berries but it don’t seems to help her much. Hence, I paced with her hw.

Since yr girl’s chinese foundation is not good, it is advisable to consider other source of additional learning so that she can catch up.

So we are all P2 loyal mummies

Berries also cannot help? oh dear ... :sad:

Immeemee,


Berries cannot help is because they don’t follow school syllabus that much. And the level of language used is 2 times ahead. And they don’t really emphasize on the strokes writing. And not many written assesment which writing is not put into regular practice. They conduct enrichment class and not tuition class. Apart from all these, it also depends on the child learning ability & interest in the subject. My girl is not interested in Chinese and that explains her limited knowledge on the subject.

There are other centres that follow school syllabus namely Tien Hsia, Skylace, Han Language which are the more popular ones.

Perhaps u might want to consider these for your dd? I will be pulling my dd out from Berries (since she is struggling to catch up) and place her to another centre that emphasize more on strokes writing and weekly spelling.

Hi parents


On a different issue here, can I ask here if your kids’ teachers teach them the words in the spelling list. Esp those words in the word banks? Mine (both from different levels) said that they only teach them after they had their spelling. And sometimes not at all. How are our kids going to learn the words when they don’t even know the pronounciation and meanings to them. I would like to find out if this happen to your kids as well.
