Anyone could comment about their summer course? It is quite expensive and not sure if it is worth to go.

I would like my girl(K1) to join the summer course from Int' school, any recommendations beside Anfield?

Many thanks!!

作者: wangtiansi 時間: 15-5-7 11:45

it starts in July. No comments yet. I heard from others it's a good one. better than the ESF.

It's good and organised, 15min mandarin, free play time, music time, circle time, art work time. Pretty standard with good exposure to english. Surely better than the ESF one but not sure how does it compare to other IS.

Considering Anfield and ICS....

Could anyone comment on both?

Anfield is extremely expensive...$9000 per course.

What do you think about their program structure? Is it good and kids got improvement? Thanks!!

Anfield course structure is similar to TT , just less mandarin time. But teacher is great. For young kids, they learn something new everyday in daily life , it is always not easy to tell their improvement are due to the course.

I can only say, after knowing Anfield teacher, I know what "great teacher" means.

Glad to see u speaking my mind, I always think I am over stating it coz I did encounter great teacher from Whampoa Anfield playgroup. It changed my whole perspective of education and that is why I decide to go for IS at the end. Did u join kln tong Anfield at that time?

Can I have more information on structure of the Anfield playgroup/prep-program?

I am considering not to send my son to PN and send him to Anfield weekday playgroup/prep-program 3 times a week.

Is it structured or it is mostly very free play like TT? I do not like TT's pg because during activity time, the teachers just walk here and there and there is no "language environment" as the teachers don't talk much and just say 1-2 sentences. Most of the time parents talk to the kids.

There is some free play time for Anfield, like 20min. Teacher may take turns to interact with kids but it really depends on the teacher, so far the teacher I encountered was so good that she will use every minute to talk and play with kids. Sometimes she will give advice to parents too on parenting.

Thanks for your sharing. Are you going to Kowloon Tong campus morning session?

If go to playgroup 3 times a week, will the program repeat or that they teach something new every time? Will there be cooking as well?

作者: 貝珠 時間: 15-6-5 13:45 標題: 回覆：Anfield summer course

I can say, the course structure is fixed for every week, you may say it repeat. I believe for weekday class, more or less is the same. Occasionally, there is cooking class, make salad or sandwich....... During summer time, water play will be offered instead of playing in the outdoor playground.

I want to say, children mainly learn through teacher- student interaction, not really from the activities or something academic. For example, teacher will be pay more attention or give more chances for those passive children, or those children apparently have less confidence.

For my girl, she is more vocal and proactive. Teacher won't ignore her, but give her more challenge tasks. In the first lesson, my girl was asked to follow what teacher say , " good morning, ms xxxx" . After my girl can do it repeatedly for few lessons, teacher just use '造口型' to give hints to my girl.

Frankly, the teacher I encounter in Anfield is great. She is the best teacher i have ever seen after attending tt, esf, bambini, boxhill and some more trial class pg. however, she actually is a part-time tutor in anfield, she works for another well-known kinder on weekdays.

Thanks so much for your sharing! I agree that teacher quality is most important. Even if Anfield has a great structure but lacks good teachers to execute it, it would be of no use.

May I know which Anfield PG you attended?

I would want to apply to Anfield Kowloon Tong.

And may I ask if you sent you child to the PG for full semester or only during summer time? I am thinking of NOT attending normal PN for 2 years olds.

I am sending my child to sat pg in kln tong and continue in summer.

I also hope that it will increase the chance of entering anfield kln tong k1

I used to join whampoa Anfield 2x / week. They are sort of repeated evey seminars ie 3 months. That's partly why I quit after I joined playgroup for 9months, coz they start to repeat the same story books and themes etc though my girl still missed the school very much. What's more my girl was ready to attend lesson without accompany(thanks from the training from playgroup teacher) but Anfield pg must need accompany, that's why I swap to a montessori pg now.

Will there be priority to go their nursery if joining playgroup!??will the students still be required to attend the play session or directly go to n class?! I called and asked and the staff said some students could join n class directly without attend the play session. Anyone?

Even you need to attend the play session, you don't need to worry because they still accept all the playgroup students.

Do you know if the weekday prep-programme will have some diaper training when children are older?

Some people told me if I let my kid go to a proper PN (i.e independent without adult), he may learn diaper training at school. However if I don't let him go to proper PN and just attend playgroup (like go to Anfield weekday pg 3x a week), then he may not learn it and it takes longer time to train at home.

...

Of course they will not train potty if it's playgroup.
In my opinion, if your kid has reached 2 and half year, starting nursery is a good idea because they are quite ready for independence. Otherwise you plan to do the same playgroup for over 1 year? It will be bored and tiring for yourself too.

my son will be 2 years in mid-Sept. I plan to do Anfield PG for one semester and hope to join PN/Nursery in coming Jan 2016 if there is a place.

Currently he has PN offers but all in afternoons which is not convenient for us as no one can pick him up after 4pm.

I am also thinking that if I go to Anfield weekday playgroup, maybe stand a better chance for Anfield Kinder.

Will you target Anfield Kinder?
