Hi Parents,


I have collected the P1 textbooks yesterday for my boy. There was one Chinese book named 弟子规 and seems so "deep" for the child to absorb. : (
Can any parent (whose child have already gone thru’ P1) shed some light on this? How is the contents for this book taught? Is this a book to be taught throughout P1 - P6 or each year they have to purchase a new 弟子规 book.

Hi,


Just wanted to share an experience I encountered before.
As a first time mummy, everything was new to me. My boy will be entering P1 in 2013, hence need to find out about the primary schools details + PV services (if applicable) in Sembawang area. Hence, I emailed to Canberra Primary requesting for a face-to-face meeting in order to get an understanding of how their school operates and how to go about with the PV participation. Not only was I rejected a meet-up and the officer was so rude in replying the email!

Canberra Primary was totally out of my selection criteria after this experience!

Just my 2-cents worth of thoughts.

Yup. The language courses run from 26 Nov to 7 Dec.

HYPY last 1 hr (8.30 - 9.30 am) & Phonics (10 - 11.30 am).
Half an hour break in between.

Yes, heard from my boy that all 3 subjects were tested with doing worksheets.

Wonder how effective?

Teachers will be using flash cards to teach and imagine the number of students in one class. How to ensure that the kids are receiving adequate attention of the weak language?

Hi Keltong,


Actually got Hanyu Pinyin class conducted in Sembawang CC too.
However we are not sure if it’s similar to the curriculum currently learnt in the Childcare centre?

We went for the trial lesson in Tsien Xia and my boy hates it.

Checking with Berries on vacancies.
Previously, when we speak Chinese, he reply in English.
At least now better, he can speak some. Need to catch up.

Thanks KS Daddy for the reply.

Not sure if we should send my boy to Chinese enrichment class now or further when school commence. Any good solutions?

There will also be a language assessment this Sat for P1 Orientation, perhaps should assess and determine from there.

Hi,


I am new to this forum though have subscribed the account some years back.
My boy will be going P1 in Endeavour Primary, Year 2013. Initially we volunteered our PV services is the professional attitude of Mr Chia, sad to hear that he’s leaving for Henry Park Primary next year.

My boy is rather weak in his Chinese. Any parent know how is the P1 Chinese class conducted in Endeavour Primary? Please share.

Thanks!
