Hi parents,

my girl has been accepted for this year's K1, but my friend's friend has a son studying K1 right now, she is thinking of changing to another Kindergarten because her son is already very quiet kid and KV has no time for kids to play, the kids mostly sit down practice writing, also KV has a lot of sudden dictations. Normally other kinders K1 would not pick up a pen practice writing...

I'm a bit freaked out by hearing this... is this true?

KV K1 all work and no play?

ai ya!  my son was aslo enroled into the 08/09 K1 class at KV.  i also have the same concern.  my son is an active type.  though he is smart and likes learning, he does not like to practice writing at this stage (he is a big boy, born in jan 05).  

any parents whose kids are studying in/graduated from KV please share your experience.

K1 is not that hard if your child is not a 'small B'. Just need to do some coloring, etc. Yes, need to pick up pencil to draw or link dots; therefore, it will be better if your child is a 'big B'.
KV is like this la, if you want your child to have fun fun fun and laugh laugh laugh and play play play, KV is not a good choice. I also struggle for this when I plan for my younger son's education path. Anyhow, I like KV as it is academically sound. My daughter is doing okay. My daughter is also a quiet and passive girl. She talks more now and it seems that she likes going to school, not with great passion though. I will give my son equal opportunity to receive education at KV also.

我的兒子是"小B",即十一月尾出世,正讀K1.他很愛上學.我覺得壓力是家長給予的.KV的其中一個好處是另到小孩子自動做功課等家長放工回家檢視.不過小B寫字是比大B吃力,因他們的小肌肉未發展得好.

我亞囡讀K1,亦係細B(十月出世)。去年我都有同樣憂慮,周圍朋友對KV眾說紛云。有朋友話KV傳統教學,喜歡大B及乖/靜小朋友,冇native教英文,多功課,冇活動,小朋友會讀得好辛苦。亦有朋友仔女讀KV話小朋友培養到很好o既品德及自理能力,打好學習基礎,中/數非常好,很愛上學,讀得好開心。我亞囡坐唔定,可以好曳,重有時有d反叛tim,但喜歡學新野,心想好o既品德好重要,盡管比亞囡一試。

過去6個月,感覺亞囡大個左好多。雖然最初返學冇喊,畢竟由一個自由慣o既屋企第一次去到一個有規律o既學習環境,難免有時扭計話唔返學。但適應左後就好喜歡返學。

冇native教英文(可能因為咁,私校黎講,學費平好多),但so far亞囡返黎唱好多英文歌。教alphabets,eg. 會係"A"- an apple, this is an apple, "I" - an ice-cream cone, "P" - a piece of paper......。教數量好早期已教曉小朋友one apple, two apple(s)..。感覺上好注重grammar。So far收o既學校通告都係全英文。

中文方面每星期教3個生字,會教埋有關配詞,eg.米 - 白米,石 - 大石....。數學方面,數及量會一齊教,eg. "1"會教埋一個圓點(圓點佢地叫domino),...,"5"會教埋5個dominos。每兩星期會派syllabus比家長知道小朋友呢兩個星期學過乜野。

不過就真係唔清楚KV用乜方法可以另亞囡對中文方面好有興趣。每次有新書派都好鍾意拿來睇完又睇(可能因為亞囡不嬲鍾意睇書,但未開學前我都係多數同佢睇英文書)。最近有日重拿起學校本書指住d字讀"紅花開,黃花開,朵朵花兒都可愛,花兒可看不可採",可能念口簧都未定,但令我感到有d驚訝!宜家我地睇報紙雜誌,亞囡都會走埋來讀佢識讀o既字,唔識讀o既字會問我地。

活動有sports day,生日會,每星期親子閱讀,近期親子活動要同小朋友一齊搜集奧運資料,亦開始有show & tell,訓練小朋友溝通及自我表達技巧。間唔中有d親子活動工作紙派返來同亞囡做(但唔需要交o既)。自己家長之間亦有間中攪聚會。

自理能力方面,一開學就會訓練好小朋友自己如廁,亦有訓練手仔大小肌肉活動o既玩具。我記得開學前orientation day老師亦有show過呢d玩具比家長睇,其中有一件cutie小形牛仔衫,上面有好多袋,每個袋分別有扣鈕、"bark"鈕、魔術貼、拉鍊..,訓練小朋友手眼協調及手仔大小肌肉活動。亞囡宜家放學返屋企係自己除鞋換衫(呢方面我o係屋企亦有教佢),亦能自己獨立如廁,但做大事我都會跟跟眼。

KV亦會培養小朋友o既記性及責任心,唔寫手冊,間中會叫小朋友搜集一d材料返學做勞作或傳口訊。如小朋友唔記得唔緊要,最後關頭老師會寫一個小小o既note提下家長。有次生日party前一日,亞囡放學返來囗upup好似念書咁,話開party要帶乜帶乜,其實通告都寫得好清楚,不過有樣野通告冇提到而亞囡有講"老師重話要帶空o既食物盒返學用來裝蛋糕食,可以環保,不過如果唔記得帶都唔緊要ga,老師會有紙碟派",宜家諗番起都覺好笑。

大家最關心o既功課方面,上學期初逢星期五有一份小小填色功課,亞囡有時都油得幾醜怪,不過都有貼紙或印獎勵。後期會加多份線條練習(即跟虛線畫圖畫),d圖畫都幾得意。星期一至四冇功課。

X'mas holiday後開始教寫字,有功課簿,每次一版字,隔籬果版係一d有趣o既活動練習(eg. matching, or colour the correct answer, or circle the objects which start with the letter "A"),亞囡視活動練習為遊戲。星期一至四:最初一日,後期現變到三日有功課,總之漸進式,中英數輪流,eg.今日中文"一",明日英文"A",後日數學"1"。星期五:果個星期寫過o既中英數字加埋共一版及一份小小填色功課。New year holiday後每日都有一份功課。

聽落好似好多功課,但亞囡平均每日用5-10分鐘可做完功課,星期五果份因多份填色,所以約15分鐘內做完。亞囡有時會自動自覺拿功課出黎做,有時唔記得,我會提佢,佢亦會好開心去做,so far都好鐘意做功課。Easter holiday果份功課原本我要佢分開5日做,但佢最後決定用約一小時一次過做鬼晒,跟住去左玩。

另外,從亞囡身上發覺KV教寫字,係從字o既結構開始,好似念口缺咁,eg."A"一斜一斜一橫,"2"dup低頭sir落去跟住一橫。有時亞囡又會用d手指整個A,C,1,7,一....。有時又會一路念口缺,一路用腳o係地下行個字出來,唔知係學校教佢,定係佢想象力豐富得滯?都幾攪笑。

至於sudden dictation我就冇聽過,可能K1未有dictation。只知一年有4次assessment,但唔會話你知幾時做assessment,唔知係未唔想d家長assessment前狂谷小朋友,學校想睇小朋友平時上堂能夠吸收到幾多卦。第一次assessment我冇乜同亞囡溫習,因唔知幾時做,就係咁估估下蒙蒙地咁過左,但d小朋友大部份都好高分,後發覺原來KV做assessment前會同小朋友溫習。如assessment後發覺小朋友有不足之處(o係BK其他topic睇到)會與家長跟進,睇下o係屋企可以點協調。

Assessment以卷o既形式assess中、英、數、常識4科,部份以oral形式個別與小朋友作答eg.認字,其他會係小朋友自己做eg. matching, colour the objects, circle the correct answer from a choice of two。中/常識用中文assess,英/數用英文assess。當派返d卷,我估唔到一個咁細o既小朋友可以handle到d卷咁好,而亞囡亦只當係玩遊戲。之後第二次assessment我都冇同亞囡溫習,佢平日都有試過一兩次拿學校d字cards出來讀,我見佢識,就放晒手由得佢自己。平時就可以留番多d時間同佢周圍去玩。

好同意dtwy講"壓力是家長給予的"小朋友唔知野係壓力,除非我地show比佢地睇。記得當初亞囡做線條練習及寫字時好醜怪,我試過底住頸叫佢可否擦過寫好d,點知佢o既反叛性格重故意寫衰d,發皮氣,激c。

後來站o係佢立場,又係o既,K1咋,又咁細個,expect d乜野ㄚ。同樣地,如果我地交野比老板,下下話錯,自己能力又做唔到,都幾down。既然老師冇話佢,點解自己咁執著呢?就係咁我就放開左。有時佢寫得彎曲,我問點解呢個"I"字彎彎地,咁得意o既,佢會話個字彎左腰做運動,我由得佢,反而大家重開心,可能亦因為咁亞囡越來越喜歡寫字。有時寫完晒,都會叫我幫佢擦左d醜怪寫過,總算有進步。宜家d字都叫做見得下人。

性格方面亦見改善,老師都好清楚亞囡o既性格,從最初o既唔比/唔聽老師教,好有自己o既愚見,到現在已開始接受老師意見,有進步,老師叫我慢慢教,家長日時重談到平時o係學校點同亞囡相處。唔知係未亞囡大過左,明多左事理。總括來講,亞囡適應左學校後就返得好開心,講好多學校o既野。

最後,其實冇話邊間幼稚園深與淺,好與唔好。家長最清楚自己o既小朋友,亦都睇下家長expect o係學校得到d乜野,屋企能夠配合就最好。我亦相信每間學校都有好及唔好o既地方/老師,好睇小朋友o既緣份遇唔遇到o岩o既。以上係個人對學校o既了解,如有錯漏煩請其他KV家長提點。希望幫到將有子女入讀KVo既家長。

chingchingb.ma,

  thanks a lot!!..actually, I'm still worrying about the assessment..i'm just wondering whether my son will do well in the assessment if no revision beforehand..in fact, he is now having his PN class..well, I do think that he can handle his work quite good, he likes reading, he likes revision,or even asks me to revise with him (at least right now )..but, it seems that will be totally different in KV..no assessment dates will be announced beforehand..then, don't know how/when to revise with him..or just let him to handle it by himself..really do NOTHING with him..ah..it makes me dizzy ah~~

Thanks for your detailed sharing!

For your reference, I heard that the assessment is usually held on the 11th, 21st and 31st school week.  Sometimes, the kids will suddenly have holiday b4 assessment. Is that true?

hihi,

我係路過八掛, 見到你寫的野, 我個心都定d, 我個女雖然只得兩歲幾, 但佢真係好有性格同好反叛, 重成日挑戰我的底線.

見你講完kv 係點教d 細路仔, 我都好放心比個女去讀, 希望我無選錯學校啦.

因為我都好擔心老師唔鍾意好似我個女d 咁曳的學生, 見你寫, kv d 老師都好有愛心同耐性.

chingchingb.ma :
Wa......你好棒啊!
我同意啊!我仔K3 lu,一切順利過度!

當然,也真有人讀得不太如意的、要轉校的,但愉快學習的還是大多數,孩子學得鞏固又happy,家長又輕鬆,孩子又易適應小學要求,長期雙贏啊!kv好有效咁令孩子中英數都叻,且喜歡學習。

我反而好怕那些要求家長投入好多時間比學校的幼稚園,小學我地一定逃不掉,好難不陪太子讀書,現在就放手比kv幫手教。

那會有no playtime的kinder.

Party, Sports Day, PE, project learning, 參觀, 畢業表演...KV都有bor.可能還是不及有些幼稚園咁多playtime吧!
說到寫字,KV不算少,但肯定不是最多,也不算深及難寫!一山還有一山高,但kv算比中庸高dd吧!

雙子媽媽,

You are welcome!!  I just wrote down what I've known & what I've seen for other mum's reference.  Glad to hear the information is useful to you.

Don't worry!!  I believe your boy will adapt to KV's school life easily.

Btw, I really envy your boy who has been brought up in such a wonderful environment, very close to nature.

cacatam,

You are welcome!!

Relax, relax, relax!!  My message was meant to give your some clear pictures about KV.  I did not mean to make you scared and dizzy.  Don't worry and you should have faith in your kid.

For me, assessment is a way to understand more about my kid, in terms of her strengths and weaknesses.  I did not revise with her for the 1st assessment so that I was able to know how much she learnt from school all by herself and how well she adapted to the new environment.  Should she handle everything OK, I would let her do things her way.  Otherwise, I would work on her weaknesses to prepare for the 2nd assessment.

So, relax!!  You should forget about the assessment right now and look forward to enjoying the forthcoming kindergarten life with your kid.

I think this is just a hear-say about the assessment week.  I haven't checked this up, but I remember the gap between the 1st & the 2nd assessment was less than 2 months apart.

Regarding the sudden holiday before assessment, as far as I know from the past 6 months, no la.  School holidays are fixed and parents were given notice about the holidays when the term started in Sep.

挑戰底線呢家野,以前亦經常發生o係我亞囡身上,係用來訓練媽咪o既EQ。有時都覺得幾勞氣ga,但亦要忍住道氣,免得反效果。不過我唔會輕易extend底線,免得亞囡越踩越過界。宜家情況已經好好多。

多謝你的分享,令一眾家長對KV教學、課堂、活動及學生的校園生活更多了解 。小兒今年9月入讀KV K1,選擇KV的原因,起初是出於傳聞中的教學模式及學校能培養出自發性強的小孩,但在面試中老師的表現,反而令我更相信學校有能力培養出好品行及好成績的孩子。小兒是一個活躍無時停的孩子,在面試時兩位老師互相的合作引導小兒回答問題,在孩子分心的時候令他再專心聽老師的話、在孩子過份活躍時令他安靜等,都給我對學校良好的印象,加上在面試完後看到小朋友在KV生活的相片、網上看到KV的功課及assessment paper及在forum內看到KV的學生唱很多中英文歌等活動教學,令我更相信KV不是要孩子死讀書的幼稚園。

希望小兒能與你女兒一樣享受KV愉快的三年校園生活。
