I also used swisso baby, but not always works, especially on her face and forehead, even on her eyebrow.  From
time to time, there will be few bites on the above areas,
because I am not dare to put to much on her face.

To KCPAPA:  Do you know where can I still buy the white color T-Shirt?  Many thanks.

about white color t-shirt...isn't that they have to wear school uniform.
I am thinking of letting my son to put on 白色底衫 for the summer program. (I guess you can still get it from Marks and spencer)

After the mosquito bite, I went home immediately.  I try everything on the mosquito bite and they doesn't work until I put SOAP on.  My son stop scratching them and they stop swelling.  And I found "寶貝濕疹膏"is quite good for after bite.

I think no uniform is required for summer course.  Anything can keep out of Mosquito will do. Not really exactly white t-shirt, can have some print on it.

Yes, for the regular kindergarten student, they need to
wear blue color school Polo shirt as uniform.  However,
I saw some kids wear white color school Polo shirt.  I
have asked the school and they said it was the old
design.  I really hope I can get some white color polo
uniform even if they are second hand. Is any mum get
some and would like to sell?

今日帶o左仔仔去play day喇！
佢好開心呀！即使撞正午睡時間，但係佢玩到唔願意走。
我見d小朋友好開心，玩得好盡情，有d真係好好笑！老師管得佢地唔嚴，但係佢地都算OK聽話。tidy up 的時候，真係每個小朋友都tidy up。有d男仔都會玩得狠d，不過老師2聲就可以叫停。

so far真係好鍾意我仔仔可以在呢種學習環境長大。除左佢俾蚊咬之外。。。今日入學校之前，我再同佢塗防蚊加蚊貼，但係都咬o左2粒！

我好開心，我無為我的仔仔揀錯！

may i know what is play day for? for all K1 newcomer to get familiar with the school? TY ESF has no such thing....

tpoon

I remember last year we had 2 play days before the term start.  The school put all the new comers (in different days)   into their existing K1 class.

orancarmen

Do the kids need to go to school everyday or alternative day?
I was out of town this month and just come back, anyone can update the information for me?
Such as school bus arrangement in the first week, and also the school day of the first week . Because some mummies in ty kinder tells me that they only go to school on mon , wed and fri during the first week while some mummies from ababcus say not that case. i am a little bit confused.

Thank you for your kind assistance in advance.

Hi orancarmen,

Did you received a plastic envelop on parent orientation day ?? It have a sticker on it and list all info for the first week class arrangement.

As I know, one am class schedule below,
28th Aug and 1st, 3rd and 5th Sept are so-called start dates those kids will seat in small groups. 8th Sept, all student will start together.
Different student may have different schedule.

About the school bus service, you should check with Kitty Lee, all student must accompany with adult but not on their own on the first day to school.

Hope you can solve it soon.

Hi Orancarmen,

Which class will your kid be in? My son, Ian will join K1 am Bear Class. But we haven't got a chance to meet with the class teacher because of time clash. Did we miss anything important?

Hi Carmen,

My son will be in K1 Bear (am). The Fun N Games just ended today. I could see that all kids (well, except my son) enjoyed it very much, especially the cooking of pizza, water game. I guess my son seems not to be enjoying it so much because he doesn't understand English. Guess I should speak to him in English more at home. Luckily, there is a teaching assistant (don't know her name though). She has been so patient and kind to the kids and she tries to get every kids involved in every games.

Do you have any idea of how I can improve my son's English standard effectively?

Hi Lilian

My son was in the Summer class last week.  
The first 2 days, he was so excited to go to school.  He woke up an hour earlier before he needed to.  
But on Friday, he didn't want to go to school. (he ended up staying at home.)  I guess he didn't have friends to play with and he missed his former schoolmate.  I asked if he prefered his Nursery or Abacus.  He said his nursery.  He said he was having fun in Abacus and teachers were nice.  He loves Mei ling.
Then on Mon and Tue, he was so happy when was home.  Sometimes he started to speak a bit English when he is playing by himself.
He was having so much fun after Tue. class, he kept talking and talking.

Kids will be easily adapt new environment, so don't worry.

What I am doing now is... I told my son that, people in abacus speaks English.  We are having 1 hour a day for English play time.  (can be reading story, drawing, playing playdough/car...whatever HE want)  During English play time, when he speak in Cantonese, I try to translate it into English.  Most of the time he will repeat with me.   

ps. My son will be in PM class

Hi Cindy,

I guess I know who you are. You kid is Clarence who was so excited to see you and his little sister last Monday when you went to pick him up after class!

I have stayed there in school when all kids were having their summer class. I saw that Clarence looked like he was actually enjoying the day! He was not afraid to try the outdoor games! Unlike my Ian... BTW, do you know which class will Mei Ling teach in the coming semester?

Hi Cindy & Lilian,

Sorry for my late response.

Let me update our record first

Lilian : K1 Bear am
Cindy :K1 pm
Carmen : K1 Panda am

My first day will be on 28 August 2008.
Are you all the same?
Have you bought the school uniform already?
Since I haven't joined the fun game, I wonder is there really a lot of mosquitos?
Are you satified about the school environment ?

I think if we can let the kids meet and play b4 they starts the school, it's really nice. The only problem is that maybe difficult to compromise the date and time. I think it's quite good to share among the parents because we cannot help worrying whether the kids can adapt well or not, as well as how the school routine runs.

Regarding the kid's eng ability, in my case, I let him to join the playgroup in admality since he was 2 and 6 months old.  And in my plan, later, I will enrol l the eng sat course running by efs in kln junior school. Some of my friends tell me it's good to let the kids having one whole morning, about 3 hours with the foreiger teacher. I don't know whether it will help or not, but I will try.

Thank you for your sharing in advance.
