ljsze,
What time did you go to the flower show? We went at around 11am and left at 1pm. Actually there are less activities on weekdays compared to last year that we went on weekends.

HeiChingmom,
Most of Preston's ECA do not cancel and he can still go out sometimes.

Lydia

We went there at about 1pm & left at around 3pm.

Hei Ching's mom

Hei Ching told Davin that she had been to Japan 10 times.  Wow !  Is that really true ?

All of the ECAs of Davin continue as well.

Hi ljsze,

ha ha....We only took Hei Ching to Tokyo for 2 times only. Even I am a SUPER Japan fans, the most "crazy" year should be .... 2 times / year. However, as I mentioned before, both my girls love Japanese food and amusement parks very much. I am thinking if our family trip will still be Japan this year.

I also like to go to Japan a lot.  Btw, every summer we do go to resort.  Yet, I'm not sure if we can go this year since we have to prepare for applications & interviews.  According to your experience, will there be a lot of applications & interviews in end July & early Aug ?

晞晴媽咪

Hi ljsze,

According to my past experience (my elder girl), the P1 interview should start around end of Sep until Jan of next year. That's why a lot of parents will arrange interview class for their kids during summer holiday. Even though Hei Ching may not really good at interview like her elder sister, I just simply hope she can still get a seat in a suitable school. How about you ? Do you have any "target" in mind ? such as: DBS, CNY, or St. Paul...etc.

Thanks for your info.  Actually, I don't have much idea now.  I don't know the schools at Kln side.  My first target is La Salle but that depends very much on luck.  Maybe I will try DBS or 'Chan Sau Yan'.  You know, not many schools offer activity-based learning.

LydiaWong

ljsze,
I also plan to leave HK for a long trip during their summer holidays and I hope the interview process won't start before mid-Aug.

Dear moms,
How's your easter holidays? 4 days just flew away so quickly. Glad the last day was nice and sunny so we could enjoy the sun.

ljsze

Lydia

We didn't do much except visiting my cousin & watching Barney show.  Davin was infected with influenza for a week.  I planned to visit some places but cancelled because of his sickness.  Fortunately, he is okay now.  These few days he will take Easter ECA.  He said he missed his classmates & the teachers.

LydiaWong

Dear moms,
Glad the kids are back to school, back to regular schedule. Preston told me Mr. Shawn was sick today, I hope he'll recover soon coz the kids like him a lot.

bblaw

ljsze,
Is Davin still learn E.nopi maths ?
How about his level?

ljsze

Lydia

Mr. Shawn is back today.  I noticed kids were happy going back to school.

bblaw

Is Cheuk Ka learning enopi math also ?  Davin is now at level 4 - finished minus 3 & learning the concept that 4 + 2 = 6 & 2 + 4 = 6.

How many of you will try 陳守仁?  I think LH has only posted a part of the data on Primary school allocations but not all.  Pls advise.

ljsze

elizatyy

Maybe I'll try 陳守仁, but the concern is that it does not have any connection with secondary schools.  I also learn about the figures from the memo of the school.  As far as I remember, quite many kids of the school go to 陳守仁.

LydiaWong

Dear moms,
Do you know when the school will start the interviewing program and what will they learn?

bblaw,
Do you want Ka Ka to learn math? The math at school is definitely not enough (too simple) and they will have a hard time picking up at P1.
Preston did Kumon b4(very boring) and now 胡成珠算 which I highly recommend. He can now calculate a series of 1-digit addition and subtraction within seconds (faster than me) and 2-3 digits addition and subtraction (3 to 5 numbers) within seconds. He taught very well and he emphasis on concentration and imaging in the brain. Although I would still find some other math after this but at least he has a fgood basic skills. But it's not easy for a kid to practice every day.

Doris,
Are you very busy? Preston told me that Brian is in full-day class now and he's very happy that he can play with Brian for longer time.

DorisTSL

Dear all,

Brian has sent an invitation card to your kids on Tuesday.  He would like to invite you all to come to his birthday party on 20 April (Sunday) at the McDonald's in Fisherman's Wharf.  The party will start at 1.30pm.

Lydia,

The programme will start next week.  Brian will join the Mon/Wed noon session.

Yes, Brian started to take full day class yesterday.  His sister's got some problem in eating.  My Mom has to spend more time on her.  We think Brian can benefit more if he takes full day class rather than feeling bored at home.  Miss Lai is very nice that she called me yesterday after school.  She said Brian was so excited on his first day of full day class but he was a bit tired in the afternoon.

Lydia

I haven't heard of 胡成珠算.  Where is the centre that Preston is learning now ?  I prefer learning step by step.  I'm okay with the progress of Davin now & I don't want to push too much.  Imagine that they have a very long school life ahead of them.

Doris

I think Davin can join the party.  Count us in for the moment.  Would like to ask if 陳守仁 is good or not.  My friend who used to be a teacher told me that many gov't schools now offer activity-based learning for P.1-3.  I just doubt if it's true.  Any input ?

LydiaWong

ljsze,
I also agree that kids should learn step by step and that's why I chose this teacher for him. He's the 1st in HK who teaches this math and his emphasis is on training the kids right brain development and concentration but not on how well they do it. The centre is in Shum Shui Po, quite far but I really think it's worth it.

Doris,
We can come to Brian's party. Preston was excited to tell me that Brian is in full-day class. How's Brianna? Is her weight picking up good?

ljsze,
I totally agree with you that kids hould learn step by step. That's why it's amazing that the kids are learning so well under this teacher. He's the very 1st one who started this math in HK. He emphasis on training the kids concentration and right brain development but solely on the correct answer. The centre is in Shum Shui Po, although it's quite far but kids from all places come and learn from him. My friend live on HK side and some from NT also come and learn, it's quite far but really worth it.

Doris,
Thanks for your invitation. We can come for the party. Preston was excited to tell me Brian is in full0day class. How's Brianna? Is her weight picking up well?
