hi all mommy's,
好多謝你地寶貴既意見,等我同hb再傾傾先,其實我想揾d english class係每星期最少返3-4天,at least she can speaks w/native teacher everyday, but i can't find it.
之前有朋友介紹過一個western比我,係到我屋企的,不過要成500/hr,如果每星期到2次就要4,000/month, 我覺得太貴唔係太值,所以依家唯有再search o下啦. 但KV既中文眞係好強,短短一個學期已經學識o甘多生字及配詞.

我仲想問o下有冇好既畫畫學校介紹呀,同埋有冇小朋友想學ice skating呀,因我想group多1-2個小朋友一齊組一班(平日放學後)

我覺得現在社会,学好中文先最重要,尤其現在中國市場咁大,相信末來我們的小孩識多D中文／講國語反而有利.女女返咗KV祗有短短的數月,我真係好驚訝她的中文詞語學咗咁多,英文可能講不能說非常好,但句子已開始教,對我來說已足夠了.我姊姊的兒子在KV畢業,他的中、英、數的基礎打得非常好,英文生子也懂很多,現在小學的老師也常常讚他的底打得好好,所以這也是我選KV的主要原因.其實中文係難學過英文的.

I understood today from the teacher that there will be homework every day.  For Mon and Fri, there will be worksheets and for Tue, Wed and Thu, there will be notebook for Chi, Eng and Numbers respectively.

Cherrielo

Dear all mami,

Theo tell me a new song :

小小地球是我家,給它樹木和種花    佢話仲有幾句,不過唔記得咗 Theo佢仲話老師話要愛護地球,唔可以摘花同砍d樹,唔係地球會唔開心 仲叫我唔好用d紙巾咁多,要用手巾仔喎 真係越來越鍾意呢間學校,不知不覺間又教到嘢喇   

Dear MayAh,

去咗上海剛返來，所以厠紙筒問題都係返來先知 不過囝囝自己同我講前日巳帶咗啦，３個潻，佢話老師叫佢地帶多ｄ，因為有小朋友唔記得可以share用，佢仲話Miss.Sung讚佢叻記得 不過佢同我講要帶2-3張顏色紙，唔知係咪呢

MayAh

Hi Cherrielo,

要帶顏色紙?  Priscilla 又冇同我講喎 , 等我返去問

cherrielo,
係呀, 早兩日亨亨都有唱呢首歌:
"小小地球是我家,給它樹木和種花. 我們齊來保護它.......", 唱完但我唔記得之後係點

我估學校有用大的地球儀教, 佢呢兩日返到學校就拎個小地球儀玩, 話 miss 有教邊度係海邊度係陸地, 又話我地住係地球要愛護它. 今星期都教了有關生字, 樹, 山, 石, 佢話呢d都同意地球有關.  學校真係教得幾好!!

另外, 亨亨話廁紙筒係用來整蝴蝶喎 ~ 唔知真定假呢? 究竟做左未呢, 有無家長知呢?!
見依家教緊"花開了"呢本書應該都有可能做呢個蝴蝶手工卦.
(不過, 我一直以為係做爆竹架 )

Cherrielo

Hi MayAh,

唔使問啦,係流料呀,因為今朝送囝囝返學,叫佢記住比顏色紙老師,佢又話唔使啦,仲叫我拿返屋企,唉...

Cherrielo

Hello pooihui,

我都唔知巳經教緊生字，仲以為下學期先再開始教字 真係好似越來越難啦，又開始每日有家課，我問囝囝係咪每日係學校都有字要寫，佢話係呀，每日都有呀，不過我覺得都好，等佢地唔覺唔覺，又學多ｄ啦 仲有呀，Miss.Sung真係有一套，每次我想陪囝囝做功課時，佢都話唔使啦，仲話老師話媽咪爹ｄ都會好忙，所以要自己做完功課先比媽咪爹ｄ檢查 ！！

呀，Theo都有同我講係做蝴蝶呀   

Felicia726

Hi poonhui and cherrielo,
My daughter also told me 廁紙筒係用來整蝴蝶. I didn't quite believe that time as I thought 係用來做爆竹. Now verified with you, I am glad that my daughter knows what's going on in class. I put the 廁紙筒 in her schoolbag since Tuesday, however, they were still in her schoolbag everyday after school. I asked her why she said nobody handed to teachers. See if they are still in her schoolbag today after school.

The key to learning a language is practice. It is therefore important to expose the child to the kind of environment that makes him/her use the language.

There's no doubt that KV is emphasising Chinese over English. If we really wish our children to become a fluent English speaker with native tone, the only choice might be to let them attend international schools or other classes where teachers and students never speak Chinese in class.

Personally, I believe Chinese is a much more difficult language to learn than English. Even though we may speak Cantonese fluently (or at least competently for daily communication), we might still not be able to write well in Chinese. I actually appreciate and treasure KV's philosphy in setting a solid foundation of Chinese in the early years of our children.

所以我有個朋友的case就是因為個女考到某非牟利名校幼稚園，但因是「非牟利」的緣故，怕英文程度會後退，所以，早上返協x幼稚園，下午返另一間在屋企附近有國際班只講英文的幼稚園，仲未計還有其他「基本」任何人都會想到的課餘活動 -- ballet, piano, swimming, drawing, mandarin, phonics, .....etc.

Is it crazy? 真的很瘋狂！但這幾天想了一想，發覺自己都有點想學她那樣做，但一直以來都只是怕小朋友太辛苦，她囡囡是一個「鐵人」，但不代表我和我個女都可以如此瘋狂，其二是，今天嘗試問下個女意見，她已一口say "NO"，原因只是她說那個NET很惡，我說是另一個比較溫柔的那個，她都說「唔想」，於是我惟有作罷！

繼續陷入擔心和憂慮之中。

Hi poonhui,

咦!我未聽過呢隻歌喎, 等我今晚問吓Trevor先.  今日午飯時我用雪糕利誘佢唱隻歌隻俾婆婆同嫲嫲聽 (因為他從來都唔肯唱俾佢哋聽, 唔知點解    可能要佢唱中文啦, 唱英文就好鬼快手, 尋晚發覺佢連Disney Playhouse chennel 的Out of the box都識唱.)  不過好出奇就係我都未聽過, 不過我估唔係新的(女人直覺 ). 首歌是這樣:

伸伸手,伸伸腰
跑跑跑, 跳跳跳
做運動, 身體好
一起轉轉轉 x 3

今天派咗新手册, d資料又要填過, 相又要貼過, 而家先知, 呀囝讀咗書我多咗好多文書上的嘢要做, 仲係repeat and repeat 的. :tongue:

你寫得有點兒誇張兼恐怖, 始終d小朋友還細, 日後變化難料, 我寧可佢現在做一個活潑可愛的小孩

alisoncheung
mavis都識唱那隻歌, 所以我估應該係學校教, mavis同trevor一起坐, ms so 已經下令叫佢地唔好咁多野講, 可想而知佢地平時係學校既情況

我說的case是真人真事，事實我也對那些媽咪和小朋友要說個「服」字！小孩子一定會很辛苦？又未必，因我見她們的小孩子都似乎很樂意去join這些班，當玩。（好過留在家給媽咪罵？）

有時，我也會反覆地想，始終小朋友只是一個三至四歲的小孩子，英文不是很流利是可以理解（若家中是說廣東話的話更甚），以一個local香港家庭的小孩子程度，算是合理。正如我hb說，說得一口流利英文的小孩，通常是不懂中文的。魚與熊掌！

小孩子要學習的路是很漫長，所以我也沒有照行她們的「路」，金錢是一個原因（她們幾乎月花過萬元在課外活動上，未計基本幼稚園學費），其二是，體力也是我和女兒所不能承受。

但既然想通了，為何我仍會「繼續陷入擔心和憂慮之中」？因為她們是我間中會相聚的朋友，一踫面，有種「人比人」的感覺很強烈。也意識到，原來小孩子的學習能力，是可以超乎我們大人的想像！

有時，我會盡可能離那些如此「進取」的媽咪遠一點，不想受她們影響，加添自己「無謂」的壓力，是否很沒志氣？無奈。

事實，我只是說說，發下牢騷，減下壓！請各位見諒。也讓您們知道，原來香港是有很多super-mums and super-kids。

再者，常有人說我們讓子女讀Kentville太辛苦，但相比之下，我們算是很人道才真。

大家好，
想請問Kentville有校歌嗎？
因為我的兒子在最近經常唱
"we are have a little children
Come Kentville school often
Getting ready for the day."
他說這首是校歌
