Hi Dodolumama & Nicolelau,
I've made the photo CDs for you both. Will ask Nicole to bring back to school tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

By the way, in case I can't join the party on Saturday & for the class party next week, can any one of you bring the camera for Miss Yeung and ask her to take some photos for Nicole as well?   

DodoluMama

jychan,
thanks!!

We will definitely bring a camera with us this Saturday. Who bring Nicole to school if you don't go? What's the class party next week? Maybe I missed the notice again. Will bring a camera to school for any event (hope it's not too big & complicated for the "EE" to handle).

Nicolelau,
does Scott practice his Mickey Mouse dance at home? Erin practices alot because we have the "Mickey Mouse Marching song" in our digital piano, so, she plays the song & dance. Daddy & I sometimes need to play Mickey Mouse & dance with her, hold hands, jump up & down etc...

THERE ARE 26 students this year. And I think the max they can take is 26 or 28 in 2007 because of the classroom size. As you know, it is a small school with only a few classrooms, so every year K1 admission is different. There are at least 2 full-time (1 local + 1 NET) plus another 2 teachers (1 local + 1 net) to take care 26 students, very good student/teacher ratio. My daughter at least mentions 4 teacher's names in her daily school life.
Other NCA mommy, correct me if I'm wrong with those numbers.

你們仲有無不足學童入讀 ?

If you choose Stafford, don't worry about other people's choice. Parents choosing Stafford have different views in Kindergarten, not overwhelmed by the "Kowloon Tong Branded Kindergarten". I also got offer from SC, Essex campus last year. Personally, I just don't think it value for money. Looking at the class size, size of campus, no NET in K2/K3. Therefore, we picked Stafford. (and no regret so far, haha)

唔知你地呢年既學童係咪full哂呢 ?
你們仔女係k1既學費幾錢 ?
$3100 per month x 12

有無其他雜費 ? 要幾多錢 ?
if i recall, annual Miscelleneous fee $660 + the optional activity fee  
書簿費 ? 校車費 ?
Books: around $1500 or 1600? (including dvd, cd, books, exercise book etc...)
School Bus : depends on distance. I'm Kowloon person, $650 / mth.

Hope it helps.

請問你們可否解答呢 ?
謝謝你們

Dololuma,

Full mark!

I still remember the singing of Erin in the coach.  Does she watch the TV programme and therefore so familiar with the lyrics?  Well done. Good girl!

Remember that Erin is very social and friendly towards Hei Hei.  Two of them also held hands for a while.

Dear All,

Very busy since the picnic and did not pop up until now.

What a pity that we did not have much time to chat during the picnic?  Hope to see you again this Sat. If you ladies have gathering, pls count us in.

I remember that we are supposed to have a Xmas card returned from school this week and teachers will arrange to send them back to us so that kids will know the post office and the mailing concept. Think the school is very thoughtful!

I will ask Hei Hei to bring back a little Xmas gift to Erin, Scott & Nicole this week. I think your kids will love it.

What will you ladies do during Xmas? We will watch musical and ballet shows and have a nice buffet lunch at a nice hotel.

jychan:  Oh, you are on ML now.  24 Dec is approaching.  Have you 'booked' the hospital ward?  Do you want the little girl to be born at Xmas ? Take care and keep us posted.  

re photo taking: your offer to take photos for Hei Hei is most appreciated.


Nicolelau: How is Scott? Is he happy to be Santa?

jychan

Nicole also practices the Mickey Mouse dance herself recently although she refused to dance initially ( & I think she doesn't need to perform) And she did sing the "Santa Clause is coming to town" with the very cute actions.

I've also bought the Christmas gifts for Scott, Erin & Hei Hei. (as you know I have my Christmas shopping earlier this year) Will ask Nicole to bring back to school later.

I'm afriad I need to stay home or even in hospital for this Christmas.

*******
Nicolelau,
How are u? Haven't met u at BK since the picnic. How's Scott? Nicole said he's absent yesterday. Is that right?        

jychan

Dodolumama,
The school party is on 21 Dec. The kids just need to bring an empty schoolbag & no need to wear uniform on that day. There will be Santa Clause distributing Christmas presents to the kids on that day according to the notice.

Besides, they will take a class portrait on 18 Dec (also no need to wear uniform) The notice was distributed about 2 weeks ago.

If you are ok, please bring the camera on 21 Dec to take photos for the kids. Thanks!!!!   

DodoluMama

jychan, got the CD, million thanks.    
You know what, I think I put the notice somewhere and I don't have those dates mark in calendar. Thanks for your update. I will pass the camera to Miss Yeung on those dates (12/18, and 12/21). Let me know if I missed anything.

nectarbee,
Erin does not watch the 8pm TVB show ... she just remembers the lyrics and sings out loud. At first, we were wondering why she kept singing that song and we didn't watch that show at all.

Talking about taking pics, I will get "Stafford EE" to take for Hei too.

we don't have special plan for Christmas yet. Probably just hang around in those Carnival in Central ...

DodoluMama ...

多謝哂你既資料...
因為本人從來都唔知道它的學費及其他開支.

你話你嗰年得26位小朋友, 咁你地所有家長
都認識大家 ?

Nicolelau

Dear all:

Long time no talk with all moms because my office work was very busy this two week.   

jychan: Thanks for yr CD so much.  Will I see you tomorrow?

Dodolumama: Scott didn't say anything to me about the Mickey dancing, he always said he forgot,
let's see what is his performance tomorrow. :evil:


I need go back to work, see you all tomorrow


  

jychan

Nicolelau,
Glad to meet u again here.  

Thanks Scott for the nice Keroro Christmas card!

Nicole kept practising the Mickey Mouse dance at home these few days. Keep marching & singing. When I ask her to practise the singing performance, she refused.   :evil:

Her grandma & me will go to school to watch her performance tomorrow.

Hope there will be no rain tomorrow.   

DodoluMama

jychan, nicolelau,

Didn't have much chance to chat last Saturday. However, we did manage to finish all the games that day and left at around 1pm.

I guess both of you must be very busy! please check email.    

Nicolelau

Dodolumama & Nectarbee:

Thanks for the gift to Scott, he like the gifts very much and ask me to buy the gift to Erin, Enoch and Nicole. But Scott still had fever now, I really hope he will get well before Friday to join the party. He just saw the class photo and he really miss the classmates.
    

jychan:

How about Nicole, is she sick also?  

nectarbee

Nicolelau,

Don't mention it. Just a little gift to make kids happy.

Nicolelau, Doduloma & jychan

How is Scott?  Nicole is sick too.  Poor kids.  You can let them try Scotts fish liver oil.  It helps boost their immune system.  Hei Hei has been sick less after taking it.

I have bought a box of Japanese biscuits for the whole NCAM class teachers and classmates as a group present.  Hope all love them.

Jychan:  wish you a smooth delivery!!  

An early greeting:  [size=large]Merry X'mas

DodoluMama

Hi all...
Christmas Party today. I have Erin to bring a camera to school to take pics for kids. See what comes back later today.

Erin takes the Omega 3 + some vitamins from doctor's prescription too. He also said better to strengthen to immune system. Besides, we won't give her too much fish in her meals, perhaps just once or maximum twice a week. As per doctor, fish is very polluted...      

Long holiday begins tomorrow... is there just ONE holiday workbook (Longman one) from school? Need to hand in after holiday? Wonder how to fill up her time during the holiday *HEADACHE*.  

Nicolelau

nectarbee:

Scott also had drink Scott fish liver oil (in white color one) every day this year, i also felt he had less sick but every time when he had fever, he must need over 3 days or more to get well.     

Dodolumama: Erin's doctor is in Central ?
The Longman work book need to hand in after the holiday.

Merry X'mas & Happy New Year!!!

Hi all,
Long time no see!
My baby was born on 21 Dec. Actually I was admitted to the hospital on 18 Dec (Mon). The baby was delivered by Caesarean section, weighs 3.82kg (originally estimated by ultrasound was 4.3kg). She looks like her sister Nicole but seems a bit smaller eyes.

I stayed in the hospital for a whole week & came back home on 25 Dec.

Nicole is so far very excited about her baby sister. She was so happy to take care of her baby sister last night - helping me to change her diapers, talk to her, etc.

When I was in the hospital, I missed Nicole so much. I phoned Miss Yeung & she said she was OK at school. She was also sick last Monday (18 Dec)  & so missed the class photo.

Nicole showed me lots of Christmas gifts & cards from her classmates.

Does Erin, Enoch & Scott love the X'mas gift from Nicole?

Time to feed the little one. Talk to you all later. Cheers!      

DodoluMama

jychan,
Congratulations!      
Glad to hear from you. The baby is huge!! Now, full house to celebrate Christmas, it must be very special to all of you in the family. Take care, the wound of C-section takes some time to heal.. ouch..    

Thanks for the gift. We managed to open all the christmas gift on boxing day. Erin has been waited and waited. She has so many things to play today and we didnt bother to go out too. Anyways, I think both Erin and the little brother enjoyed this Christams so far.

We finished half of the holiday exercise book, it's easy, except the coloring...    

Nicolelau,
There is Part 2 of the photos I could not send through. It must be your mailbox is full. Also, I went to Shelly de Mozz dance school a few days ago ... I thought you mentioned Scott goes there. The instructor (miss leung?) remembers him and keeps telling me to join Scott & cousins on Saturday class in Jan. haha...

nectarbee

Happy New Year!!!

jychan,

Happy new year to your enlarged family too.

Yes, Hei Hei likes the present a lot. He used it the next day right away.

How is Nicole and the new bb?  What's the name of the little girl?

Take good care and hope to see you soon!

I used a finger-art book to draw a turkey with Hei Hei. He enjoyed it.

nectarbee

Pals,

Have you started 'revision' with your kids?  I think Stafford is really 'serious'    .
