收到學校考試時間表…唉！又要作戰。大家努力

昨天的旅行實在太好玩喇     學生可以同成班同學仔一齊；家長亦可互相聯宜。。   當中亦見幾個中學部學生黎幫手做義工，搬搬抬抬，全程面帶笑容。  聽到他們閒談時，亦操一囗流利英語。   不知是否由小學部直升上中學部批學生之一？   如果是，那我就更安心，因他們的英語與外國人無異，且其態度溫順熱心，真的太可愛

Dear all,

I found some Eng. grammer exercises of P.2 of other schools are teaching about "Tense" and "Sentence re-structure".  

However, P.2 of SMC is now teaching "may" "can" and pronounes... is it too simplier and easier when comparing with other primary schools?

WD40,

The way SMC teaches is quite different from other traditional schools, i.e. less gramma focused.  This is somewhat like international schools in Hong Kong and schools in English-speaking countries.

The syllabus does have some cover on tenses -present (Halloween, Christmas) and past (Fairy Tales) so far.  They also touch on sentence structures - can / cannot, like / likes doing something, is like + adj & noun, as ... as.

It is up to us on whether we should supplement our kids with gramma concept as English is not our mother tongue.

Hi Spiderlily,

Totally agreed w/ you.  We, however, sometime, seems in a dilemma that on one hand, we wish our son would enjoy school life with less learning pressure;while on another hand, we also wish him could catch up with the standards of other traditional schools....

Got results of Math and GS quiz...again...the results are far from expectation coz his careless mistakessssss.   唉 … 真係唔知點樣去改善佢 d 大頭蝦 & 唔小心

I had the same feelings with WD40, too.  However, my daughter enjoys doing English homework very well. She can write a lot in the free writing books though there are grammatical mistakes. I believe that students from traditional school can write fewer as they will write carefully to avoid the mistakes.......
But my daughter really feel annoying when doing the chinese worksheets.  It makes me feel headache when doing the worksheets......

spiderlily

I am not sure whether other Net-teachers would correct the kids' grammatical mistakes on their homework.  I know Martin did, even capital letters and punctuations.  My boy would look at his marked words.

I choose to re-inforce his gramma concept at home - this is what I can do but I cannot create an Egnlish speaking environment for him.  There are pros and cons.

Some of my non-Chinese friends said it would be easier for the kids to learn the sentence structure and expression first, then the gramma.

WD40,
My boy also made quite a number of careless mistakes, some of those are unforgivable.  He became less concentrated and attentive recently.  I just found he had been playing too rude and wild with other boys in school.  Not sure whether he could calm down for the coming exam.  Headache...

Chatter

Miss Waygood also corrects their grammatical mistakes

WD40

Yeah...Ms. Waygood did correct the grammatical errors, big/small letters...etc.   However, my son always forget and repeat the similar errors again and again....

Same case to your son, Spiderlily, my boy also plays crazy with other boys and couldn't concentrate on his works and studies as well....   


However, I found most girls in his group perform very good.... 男仔都係容易心散，同埋粗心大意。。。
唉…下星期考試…都唔知點算

Chinese listening needs to be re-assessed tomorrow morning due to computer fault. A sticker is pasted in the homework dairy if your kid applies to this. My son said that some pupils don't need to re-take it.

spiderlily

It was said the non-Chinese (Group 4)do not need to re-take --> different paper.

It seems that the English standard of SMC is very high.  However, will the school life be stressful with lot of dictations and test throughout the year?

spiderlily

There is not that much dictation and test comparing to other traditional schools.

For P2 so far, English dictation is 3-4 times a term.; Chinese dictation is once every two weeks at most; quizzes on Maths and GS are twice every term.  There are 3 terms a year.
