Not the same as the one by NTU. I thought it was a branch too, until I asked the staff there.

Hi


My boys were with berries since K1. The elder one can’t cope when he was in Pri 3 and drag going to Berries class. After term 1, we pulled him out. The standard in berries are so much higher.

It depends on individual kid, if yours have interest in chinese and able to do well, berries will be a good choice.

It not difficult to park the cars and there is 15mins grace period. Drop off is also easy.


I think the holiday programme focus more on kongzi teaching, you might one to call them

I will be sending mine to Xuelin, already "chopped" a place as they are limited placements. She will be doing a 5 days reading program with compo fundamental writing for a duration of 3 hr & 45 mins. I have seen the selected books; something like Diary of the Wimpy’s Kid but in Chinese. After speaking to them, I agree with their rationale of doing this program. Many kids dun read Chinese books thus having very limited vocab, good content and good sentence structure. They will have interesting curriculum to engage kids and later translate into writing. I thot this is very necessary for my children. Very Ks but no choice.

So this holiday program is on reading and compo?

VooVoo: Yes, the program is about reading certain good extracts of selected books/ certain newspaper articles depending on level. The 2nd half is about writing, objective is to refine the writing using the vocab, contents and sentence structure learnt earlier. I thought it's very interesting to engage the kids and they are taking in only 20 kids per level (I heard it's 10 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon!) What I like about them is that their class size is very small! That is why I have to \"chopped\" a place for my gals and my sister's.
