Hi Ana's mami,

I think Ana is right to bring blue next week, I remember in the briefing on 13.9.2008, they said that next week should bring blue and the week after will bring the kid's baby photo.

For the mandarin, I face the same problem as you.  Though we can check the pin yin from the computer, the most difficult thing is that I don't know how to translate the Cantonese to written Chinese (Putonghua).  So when I try to talk to Ivan in Mandarin, I can talk only limited vocabulary.  When Ivan ask more, I can just say I don't know

Hi dinosaur_bb2004,

Try to speak English to him, it's much helpful, it maybe difficult at start, just to contimue.

For my case, Ana was taken care by Indo maid (cannot speak english, only cantonese) ...

dinosaur_bb2004

Ivan and Ana's mama,

Agree to what you said and we will try our best.

I let Aaron see your kids' photos.  He can just say they are his friends.  When I said ' He is 'Jer", Aaron said, ' Jeremy'.  Meanwhile, he said that Sophia does sit next to Aaron (Perhaps the other Aaron) and Fifi sits next to him.

When I asked him what to bring next week, he said "blue thing (in cantonese).

Ana brought a blue camera to school today and i didn't found it in schoolbag after school, i think Ms. Lee has kept it.

I asked Ana today what she bring tomorrow, she said 'green', i think she just say somethink kid me, haha.

Today, Ana told me that there are 2 Jimmy in the class, can u pls asked your kids to verify?

For other thing, she still said nothing!

This week, Ivan brings a blue Thomas to school but unlike last week, I cannot find a sticker (but Ivan said that he did has a sticker).  Do your kids brought back a sticker after school??

LaLa

Ana ma,
The weekly theme toy, i.e. blue toy this week, will be kept at school until Friday.  Usually, they just need to bring one thing to school each week.  Haven't heard of any Jimmy bor!

Ivan ma,
Yes, Jeremy also brought home a sticker.  He said Ms Lee gave it to him because he brought the right thing.  And then he showed me some more stickers in the school-bag which he "earned" in previous weeks.

Ivan  ...

Oh, I see, Maybe Ivan has lost the sticker as he tried to find his sticker after return home

tanganastasia

i just found a sticker in Ana's schoolbag as she didn't tell me.

I asked her again are there 2 Jimmy at her class, she said no and only 1 Jeremy,唉,佢成日乱蹹,無佢付。

Every time i ask what did she do at school, most of the answers still are "i don't know", and still everyday tells me she sings ABC song at school. But she did tell me she learn the Chinese song, 國際英文幼稚園and 搓個大蘋果。

Aaron also brought a Thomas and a blue car on Monday and he took it out of his school bag in the afternoon.  When I asked him whether he shared the toys with Miss Lee and other kids, he said "no".

Will your kids join the Science Workshop?  Any comment on it and the Book list for ordering?

tanganastasia

I am not going to join the science workshop, too expensive, i will rather join some course like dancing or music nearby for Ana.

My son's thomas has been kept at school and last week he only brought back the circle things on Friday.

For the science workshop, the content seems to be attractive but I don't know if the teacher is good or not.  If I join the workshop, I have to reschedule the swimming class for Ivan

dinosaur_bb2004

Ivan is taking swimming class now?  With you or by himself? Aaron may learning swimming as he is quite "BB" now.

cheungoli

Yes, Ivan took the swimming class (親子班) at 大力游泳會, I know some of Ivan's ex-classmates already learn swimming by himself.  Yet, Ivan is too timid and the class with parents is  more suitable.  In the summer class, he has learnt to float with 浮板及浮肘.  Also how to 踢水 blow the bubbles in water but he is too scare to put his nose into the water.  At first, I think Ivan is also too small to learn swimming as he is not brave enough but now I think it is a good start and at least he is able to float if he has a 浮板 and my husband hope that he can continue the swimming lesson.  Otherwise, he has to start everything again next summer.

Hi, La La & NStar parents,
I 'd sign up now as I missed your chat these day.  My son had managed to bring red 福娃 and a round clock to school.  But this week,  he did not told me that he has to bring a blue toys. May be I was too busy to talk with him these days.   He also sang the St. Cat. school song,  apple song last week.

Dear Arron 's Mum,
I think Ryan is in the same table w/your son.

LaLa

Hi Siuming,
You have finally signed up!  Just want to call you and ask you to join us in this forum but I have been quite busy this month.

It's quite a coincidence that apart from Jessica, another friend of mine Vocalis told me that she knows you!  What a small world!  How's Kelly doing in school?  I bet she's got used to it, right?  Heard from Jenny (Justine's mom) that there are quite a lot of homework.  Tell Kelly to 加油!

Hi all moms,
I heard from Jeremy that yesterday, Ms Skye sang the Thomas song with them "There're 2, there're 4, there're 6, there're 8.  Shunting trucks and hauling freight..."  He also told me that only boys sang as the girls didn't know the song.

Siuming

Hi, La La,

Vocalis is a very good friend of mine and I knew her from primary school. Kelly managed quite well up to now and she did her homework very fast, only 3 homeworks/day.  Usually, she took 1/2 hr to finish,  I guessed she had finsihed most of them in school.
At first, I 'm quite nervous about her P1 life. But now,  I 'm glad that she can handle independently such as finishing homework, self reading, playing piano, pack school bag.

I usually come back home at 7:30 pm and then check Kelly 's homework, have some revision w/her.  So, I did not spend too much time w/Ryan.  I feel so sorry to Ryan.  I hope I can do it better from now.

Siuming,

Oh, me too!  I also spent most of my time on Valerie while leaving Jeremy to play on his own.  I even seldom tell him stories or sing songs with him, but I did so for Valerie years ago.  That's why he's not so "stick" with me.  And it's lucky that he hasn't become 自閉!

tanganastasia

Hi moms,

Do most of you have 2 kids, as I know Mani also has an elder brother. I have only 1 daughter, Ana, so I spend with her all the time. That's also why she doesn't like to play by herself. She makes me so busy becos she calls me all the time.

By the way, did your kids tell you what to bring to school next week? is their own photos? Ana said 'I don't know' when i asked her.

cheungoli

I also have 2 kids but Ivan is my first kid and so just like Ana, he needs adult's attention all the time.  As I am breastfeed, only my husband is able to play with him most of the time.

For the things to bring next week, I learn from the breifing that they have to bring their own BB photos but Ivan said that he need to bring square.  When I ask if he need to bring any photo, he said he need to bring his own baby photos but he insists that he needs to bring square things.  Oh my god.

tanganastasia

Ivan's mom,

I think 'square' is right as Ana also said she need to bring 'square' this week when i asked her today.

but the difference is that she said she need 'blue square'. and i asked her if she need to bring photo, she insisted 'no'. i think i will bring a blue square in safe. ha ha
