Homeworks for Preschool & Kindergarten
-
Depends on the kindergarten I suppose.
My DS had little or no homework during kindergarten days, if any it would for over the weekends.
Even now, in Pr1, he hardly has any homework to do. -

Mine too. But he has only been given cut-and-paste or theme-based work for school holiday. Guess PCF is quite standard in this aspect. -
Hi mummies, do you think it is good with have English & Chinese spelling for K1? Iām switching my DS from private childcare to PCF but to my surprise , principle said no spelling for K1 as MOE encourage phonetic spelling, no more hard memorizing.
But how they learn chinese words? can they cope P1 ting xie? Iām getting worried. Is PCF teaching behind private kindergarten? -
My DD is in PCF K2 class, no spelling for Chinese and English, less home work, quite relaxing.
Therefore I send DD to the group tuition class (P2), her tuition teacher gives her some homework (test ā top schools test paper or picture composition) and spelling 15 to 25 words weekly.
PCF has less homework but they organize a lot of out going activities and social training for their students, e.g. 3 days over night camping (life skill training), farm visiting, police station visiting, kid marketing in supermarket, etc. -

Starting early doesn't mean that they will necessarily do better in P1, and not starting early doesn't mean they will necessarily have problems. Both my kids never had tingxie until they got to P1 and still managed fine.Hi mummies, do you think it is good with have English & Chinese spelling for K1?

If you are very bothered by the lack of tingxie, you can give your ds.
As for Eng words, not all words can be spelt phonetically.
