讀 THINK 的理由

karaqueenie

收左小女讀Ｋ１全日班（Eng/Cantonese, 九龍塘）, 聽人講ＴＨＩＮＫ的語文好,我本身屋企沒有英語環境，只說廣東話，入ＴＨＩＮＫ都係想佢學好英文，而家ＢＢ己經２歲半，覺得佢語言天份高，因為佢好早己經識講好多野，而且仲係完整句子，不想浪費她的天份

問過ＴＨＩＮＫ，他們早上是英中課程，訓教後就是 English (Project) 的課程直到放學，即係咩呀？會不會像一些ＫＧ般，只放ＶＣＤ／ＤＶＤ比小朋友看來打發時間？

如果以ＴＨＩＮＫ的這個課程，我的小女其實可不可得到優良的英語環境呢？我主要想我小女可以在６歲前的學外語黃金時間，學懂了一種外語，成功和外藉人溝通

至於升學，我想她能升上蔡繼有／陳守仁／有名氣的英文本地小學，我睇過 THINK 的派位，其實是不錯的

現在因為另一間學校同樣收了小女， 我報的是ENG/PTH班，理應英文時間會再多一點，但這校課程谷（教深一年），我怕未能令小女在愉快環境學習，而且小朋友只專注在學術課程上，未能培養正面的看書興趣，ＴＨＩＮＫ又可不可令小朋友愛看書呢？

另外這所學校聽別人說會比較多功課（因為重學術），在ＴＨＩＮＫ讀書的學生，功課又多不多？因為父母也是在職，未能花時間跟功課，ＴＨＩＮＫ的小朋友能自己完成功課嗎？

其實３年的ＫＧ生涯完結後，小朋友如果不是讀ＴＨＩＮＫ的國際班，語文能力會是怎樣的呢？

I think the homework for Think is acceptable. For UN, children would have 1 HW from Mon -Thur and more on Friday.
Since LK, there would be one Chinese and one Maths homework everyday. We need to do some bookreport too.
But it is true that we need to help making lanterns, facemask and so on from time to time.

My daughter got the offer from SMC and TSL. I am really pleased. :) Somehow I regard Think can train children pretty well.

我都是因THINK小朋友的語文能力而選此校,SO FAR我覺得好好,因我仔出去考TRINITY都有好成績.同埋我鍾意佢有小學部.我會俾佢讀埋小學,你親身去睇下佢地的小學生,就知語文有幾好.我只係驚太多小朋友申請小學部會唔夠位囉.有D擔心。

唔該以上兩位, 我打過去學校問以下問題, 但未有回應, 可不可以幫我問一下你們的分校呀:

全日班:

ＴＨＩＮＫ可不可令小朋友愛看書呢？

所以話, 我幾時都咁羨慕你地呢d全職媽咪, 下午可以帶個小朋友去邊都得, 我又唔想請工人, 老人家又唔可以要求佢地成個下午比哂小朋友, 淨係得我地兩公婆死撐, 其實唸唸下都想比佢讀返屋村幼稚園算數 (敢講唔敢做), 又有延展時間, 又平學費

anyway, 下年think有兩個program選擇, 一是ib, 一是canadian base 課程, ib放3:30(old campus), canadian base放4:30(new campus), 放學時間可推遲少少, 所以都仲可考慮

My daughter loves reading very much. I don't know it is due to ourselves or Think. But Think would give a lot of books for the children to read. We need to do book reports and somethings similar.

Hi cpcog,

Do you know from which DSS/private schools  your daughter's classmates get the offer ?

cpcog

I don't know yet. Let's see we would have chance to talk about that in the X"mas party.

HI,

Please share more.
How about the teachers in Think?
My son is active and loves to challenge
teachers, still cannot follow all the class rules.  Are the teachers patient to naughty kid?

Thanks!!

cpcog

hi,
I can't comment on the teachers of other Think as I don't know them. However, I regard the teachers in Think Mei Foo are caring and full of patient. They will teach students discipline and well behaved. I think most students are active and love to challenge teachers now and the teachers know how to manage them.


behaved.

有關小朋友喜不喜歡看書的問題,我淨係可以講我小朋友係好喜歡看書的,尤其英文書.今晚瞓覺前佢睇oxford reading tree,要自己讀D字,我覺得太夜唔俾佢讀咁多版,佢竟然喊,扭計要讀多一陣,而且佢係睇D字的拼音咁讀個字出來的,學校同我地都冇同佢串字的,但好多字都串到,因為學校教小朋友Phonics,咁佢自己睇一句句就慢慢讀到出來了.

平日放學佢真係好free的,好少功課,做完功課自己寫寫寫,中文字英文字都有,都係寫d佢在學校學過的字,同佢有興趣的字,我覺得佢學習好主動.例如有一日佢學校教三點水的字,佢返來就自己拿雜誌逐頁看,找出有三點水的字,我覺得think可以保持/引發小朋友的學習興趣.

但坦白講,有d地方我覺得佢地係唔同左的,例如班裏的人數多了,師生比例差了,同埋,講真佢地本地小朋友真係好多,一班24個小朋友左右,只有2-3個外國小朋友.如果外國人小朋友比例多d,小朋友的英語應該一定仲好d.但我到lee一刻都係滿意我小朋友的語言表現的.

我小朋友來年入讀其他國際學校,唔在think升讀了.think不是不好,而是我考慮的是他們的規模,始終佢唔似其他國際學校咁大,develop得咁好,有咁多資源.同埋,如果你們的小朋友一心要入local school,咁think俾佢地寫字的training,一定唔似其他九龍塘的幼稚園咁多,要自己俾佢地寫多d copy了.
