I heard from my friend who used to be a teacher that nowadays many schools offer activity-based teaching.  At that moment, I just wonder if that was true.  Thanks for your input.  Is the primary section of your school DSS or Gov't subsidized ?

Lydia

I totally agree with you in the sense that it's very impt to me that Davin enjoys school.  That's why I have to spend more time checking which school suits him.

Dear All

As you know, we can't go into the classroom now before morning exercise.  Yet, Mr. Shawn was so nice that when he saw me this morning he took the initiative to talk to me about the kid & the school.  Grateful for this & for the creative ideas he makes to let kids involved in learning phonics & word recognition.  Our kids are fortnate to be taught by good teachers throughout these years.

Lydia,

I let Brian try to describe the picture again yesterday.  However, he said he did it already on Monday and there's no need to do it again.  BTW, is Preston also taking the Mon + Wed noon session?

ljsze,

It's true that many schools offer activity-based teaching and they use this as a selling point.  However, some schools will only adopt activity-based teaching in one or two subjects and traditional method for the rest.

P1 of my school will switch to DSS starting from this Sept.

How about secondary schools ?  Will many schools offer activity-based teaching ?  Or, the kids are big enough & stable enough to receive traditional teaching ?  What's your viewpoint about this ?  I really have no idea.  You know there are more subjects in sec schools & a lot more to remember.

Doris,
Preston is in the same session as Brian. Preston also said similar thing to Miss Cheng. One day Miss Cheng asked him something related to the interview program, he then told Miss Cheng that he would tell her on Monday class.
They are not little boys anymore, they have  their own idea.

ljsze,
I also worried about choosing the appropriate school for Preston. That's why I get more info from school teachers, teachers from ECA etc. Basically, most comments said that Preston is not very suitable for very traditional schools.

Yes, it's really a headache.  You know we have been educated in a traditional way for years.  Yet, the world is changing now & I'm really not sure which school suits our kid esp. when both Preston & Davin are not suitable for traditional schools.

Lydia, ljsze,

Actually, the so-called traditional schools also offer activity-based teaching in some subjects.  It's just the matter of proportion of traditional teaching : acitivity-based teaching.

Activity-based teaching is more time consuming compared with traditional teaching but students can learn more and they can develop some useful skills through acitivities.

ljsze,

Most of the sec schools in HK are 'traditional' but starting from Sept 09, the New Senior Secondary curriculum will be launched and activity-based teaching will become more and more important.  Subjects like Integrated Humanities, Liberal Studies, Other Learning Experience, Project-Based Learning will be activity-based.  Besides that, School-Based Assessment of all subjects also requires the element of acitivity-based teaching.

Doris,
Thanks a lot for your info. It's not easy to think about primary school so I don't think about secondary school at this moment. Anyway, it's good to know that some schools are changing to more activity-based and match the reality world more.

Real thanks for your sharing.  Now, I'm more relieved.  I do think that kids have more fun & can take more initiative to learn under activity-based teaching.

Lydia

I find you in facebook. Ha !

Hi, bblaw,

Sorry, my son is in K1B. I am also worry about the change of principal.  The new principal is from 神召會禮拜堂天澤幼兒園.  Do you know anything "bad" about her?

bblaw,

What a bad news!  Ms. Yip is a good leader and she cares about the kids.  I remember two years ago, in the parent's day, she talked to me about Brian's performance in school.  That's exactly what Miss Cheng told me.  I was impressed.

Don't know anything about the new principal but I really hope that she is also a good and responsible one.

Dear moms,
After knowing the new principal's background, I'm getting worried about her quality. Just hope she is a good principal coz it's very crucial for us as our kids are K2 which is a very important year.

What bad weather! Preston's morning ECA classes are cancelled and quite boring at home.

Let's not be too negative.  We can't change anything.  What we can do is to give more feedback to the school.

Doris

Thanks for your invitation to Brian's birthday party.  Kids had great fun.  They enjoy a lot simply by running & chasing.  It's a good location.  Kids are very familiar to the place.  The mall is not crowded at all.  They can run a lot.

bblaw

Ka Ka cried during play among the kids.  I didn't know what happened but later she was alright.  Did she tell you anything about this ?

ljsze,
I talked to Ms. Lai about the new principal and she said the teachers knew about the resignation of Ms. Yip only one week earlier than the parents. The new principal left the previous kindergarten more than a year, then left to the States for studies. She was the back to Hk and worked for PLK for course development, and then later to LHK. So sounds a bit better then we thought. Anyway, Ms. Lai said basically the whole course outline and development won't change (coz there are 3 LHK). Hope she is a good and caring principal.

Hi Doris,

Hei Ching enjoyed Brian's birthday party very much and also the nice pictures.

Hi moms,

Seems that I might miss an important notice in Intranet. Are you all talking about the resignation of Ms. Yip (the principal) ? Actually, I had a talk with her and Miss Cheng on 12 Apr for primary schools application issue. She didn't mention anything for her 'move'. She even reminded me to obtain a recommendation letter from her for Hei Ching's portfolio. I just wonder what is happening ? See if we can clarify more during the P1 application briefing on Wednesday. Worry.....

Dear Moms,

Thank you very much for your coming to Brian's birthday party.  I hope your kids like the little gift that Brian chose.  

ljsze,
It's good to see that kids enjoyed so much in chasing around outside the McDonald's.  It's the first time I let Brian run around in the shopping place.  Ha!

晞晴媽咪,
Your two daughters are so cute!  My brother took a lot of pics for them.

Dear mons,
  I told with Mrs Yip and she has prepared the letter for us. If anyone need this, we can ask to miss cheng.

ljsze,
You are right. We should stand on the positive side. I had send a mail to the supervisor and he reply me. The sound is so good.I think it is not too worried and he will meet me  tomorrow.

Sorry Ka Ka cried in Brian's Party. She said she was blamed by the indian classmate . It make me headache. She always argue with her in the class and I discuss with Ka Ka many many time to solve the problem. But no use.
