WOW :!: sounds very stressful. especially since she don't speak mandarin at hm and still have slight 'ang mo' accent when she speaks. Already startg to look for formal chinese enrichment lesson for her....... that its not too late!


Btw, if the enrichment passages are not covered in class, does it mean that they have extra lesson?

Thks the info

I think streaming is good. The better ones need not be bored waiting for the slower ones to catch up, the slower ones get a more relaxed learning environment.

The enrichment passages are covered during the normal curriculum hours, no extra lesson.

Like what IJJ mentioned, kids pick up very quickly.

Jen, are you going to the lower primary sport day this fri? Was hoping to go as PV or audience, yet they rejected my offer as a PV(due to my preg) and disallow any spectator this time round.


Just venting and feeling a little disappointed.

DS2 missed the whole of last week, we did not know abt the arrangement till yesterday he came back with the letter.

I remember last year, all parents were invited. Due to some reasons, I did not go. Told DS2 that I would go this year, but then now H1N1 spreading like fire, maybe the sch wants to control crowd.

Can understand your frustration.

Actually if you can, start by reading simple CL story books to her. It helps more than attending once a week a few hours of CL enrichment classes. JMHO

Fully agree. Reading and listening are very important.

Btw, just to add. My gal has 2 CL moxie a week. The regular tingxie/moxie comprises of word/phrases from list given by tr with 2 surprise chinese idioms/sayings(成语,谚语,论语) (which tr will go thru about one every other day in class) and another moxie on phrases base on 5 senses (五感佳句). Every fortnight/ 3 weeks, CL tr will also ask them to memorise a tangshi (唐诗). Hence, it will be good to start exposing your kids into these early. Don't be too anxious if your child has not started yet. Its a good-to-have knowledge. Not going to be tested in P2 exam.

[/quote]Will try to read her more CL books. She can actually read but with a slight accent but not good in her writing. She can't write the characters and finds it difficult (she's a left hander) ......so do not like to practice
