2007-2008 ESF TY KG Parents Sharing!!

JYFC

After observing the class for 3 school days, I am quite impressed by the k2 kids. Most of them have well manners, always volunteers be the "teacher" to lead the songs & of course speak flurent English.

It is so funny to see that my daughter actually refuse my assitance at the toliet on her 1st day at ESF. She never did ALL the steps herself (take of pants, wipe, flush, wash hand & dry off) in one go. She did it now, but only in school. However, when we are back at home, she is running around without wearing her pants after wiwi.

May be this is already peer pressure!?!

Well, my girl now studys in TY ESF K2 and I may share some of my feelings.

Yes, confusion was the first impression that I got when my girl started school in K1.  I had even posted here for help.  I h ...

Hi JessMama,

I love your thoughtful comment and share your kind experience with us (I'm K1 student mummy :loveliness: ).

Hi hokittyho,

Yes, in the AM Class.

Could you / other mummies as well  share your experience as on the concept of mixing K1 and K2 students in one class?!  Certainly for K1 students it would be an advantage as they could learn from the older K2 kids somehow; but what about K2 kids who would then have to go thru another school year doing exactly the same as last year's?!  What would K2 kids learn for this year except knowing how to take care of younger classmates??

Anyone have any comments?

I also feel quite strange & doubt about this system. Do they have the same class structure for both ESF KG Sheung Wan & CWB?

What about other IS kindergarten? Do anyone know the name of the kindergarten which have this kind of mixing class?

Hi Unix

As I observed last year, some activities were separated, e.g. K2 spend more time on Putonghua.  Also my son told me the K2 students couldn't go out during studio time and had to stay in the classroom to do something this morning.

Dear parents,
I am also living in Tsing Yi and is thinking about ESF TY for my son's kindergarten schooling. Which primary school will ESF kinder students usually go to or apply for?
Sorry about my silly questions as I am quite new to this ESF system and schooling.
Thanks for all.

As far as I know, they will change the curriculum every year so that the K2 kids won't learn the same thing again. Also, K2 will do more like thinking and writing activities. K2 can also go out to play at studio time and they can help those K1 kids settle. But once every two weeks, the K2 will need to stay in the classroom during studio time for the Putonhua lesson. Hope this help!
