pooh,
thanks for summaries it.
i have a bad news for the uniform. when i saw my son shirt hanging out to dry tonight. i found that the red color came out a bit. his shirt changed to light pink color. :evil:  :evil:  :evil:
can anyone tell me what can i do about it? i don't think i can exchange it from hipo fant now, cause my son already wore it to school. it has a pin hole on the shirt.     

Helen

jazzmama,

there are 6 stations in laguna city. fyi, no.8 school bus:

am class will be around 8:08-18;12:43-55;
pm class will be around 12:43-55;5:23-31.

i don't know whether it is difficult or not. i think it depends on the teacher impression of your child [and the parent] during the interview.

ThePooh,
I think the magazine is quite good, for the paper and printing quality and the content, it is somewhat like a book. If for a book's standard, the price of $28.3/copy is OK. And it is delivered by the school every month, so I think it is convenient. There is only sample for the "砵砵車", no sample for another magazine"小小紅蘋果"(the introduction leaflet said it is about science). I am considering to subscribe 2 or just 1 magazine.

One more thing, I did not hear these magazines before, my kid's 幼兒園before have sent a list of recommended books and magazines for small kids, and not mentioned these ones.

Any other comments or suggestions?

My son is in N3 class in PM session. His class only has aroung 15 students. His teachers are Ms. Li & Ms. Asha.

Hi Helen,
The class should be "ND" right ?
I remember the name "Anson" but not the face, my girl "Kristy" is also ND - Lemon group; Can we exchange information afterwards ? Are you working mami ?
BTW the class should total 21 students which I had asked to Ms Asham. coz some are not on school bus.

About the school uniform, I think you can insist Hippo to exchange, if you're followed the instruction to wash.  I just know from "Sai Kwong",in which I bought the uniform, the man says there should be no bleach for washing the uniform; & I think the quality of "Sai Kwong" is much better than "hippo".

Veronica_chan,
我尋日睇左〞砵砵車〞，我覺得好亂。睇落好似好多野睇咁，但實際我覺得好亂。我諗我唔訂住先，遲D唔知。

Helen

Kristymami,

But in the letter & on the classroom's door, it really said N3. Anson is in Apple group now. So may be they are in different class?

for the uniform, may be I will try to exchange it today. Hope succeed?!   I just use normal detegent to wash it. I am afraid the new one (if I can exchange it) will also have red color come out!!!

Hi Helen,

My son is also studying in N3, is it really only 15 students? or only 15 students taking the school bus? Because it divded two classes( school bus and non-school bus) in the first two days. My son went to non school bus class which has 6-7students, Did Ms. Li told you only 15students in N3? My son name is Jonathan.


Crystalss  

Helen

crystalss,

I think you are right. I forgot the non school bus students. So it should be around 20 students in N3-PM class!      

jazzmama

May I know your kid is using which one for interview ?
Do you think same chance if interview choose Chinese ?

I heard from my friend that the foreign teacher of his daughter's class will be shared by two classes.  Is this the case?  what i understood last week during classes is that the chinese and foreign class teachers will take care of the class all the time at school.

Helen

Sorry. N3 should be 21. I forgot the non-school bus students! hehe!!

Any kids' classrooms are the small ones with 2 rooms for group a & b?   I am quite disappointed re the classroom environment.  My daughter's class is divided into two groups.  Though it's one class, in fact, it's seperated by a connecting door, so you really cannot see all the classmates and the teacher in the other room.  More important, most of the parents having seen this envoirnment are worrying about how the two teachers can manage the two groups.  In fact, it looks like two classes.  We are concerning about the time the English teacher will spend on each group as when she stands by in the (a) room, the (b) room cannot see her.  The chance of learning & listening to English is less.  The teachers said they will swap all the time from one room to the other, but still the environment really makes the parents feeling uncomfortable and we really did not expect a classroom like this.  Any kids are with the same situation or any parents can share their past experience?

Hi, LuLu & Chingchingmama,

My daughter is also in the NSilver(b) class, she's in the "sheep" group.

Helen

How's your child today? I'm afraid he will cry today when he get on to the school bus. I'll will collect him at the bus stop today. (leave work a bit earlier). Hope he didn't cry too much la!

nickmum

Hi, ThePooh,

that's why your daughter responded so good during class.  Have you intentional trained her to speak in English?  I think speaking Chinese is useful in the coming time given the strong relationship with the homeland.

i did not bring my daughter to school bus today cux i need to go to work.  but she told me over the phone after school that she did not cry although some others cried.
