我小朋友WKF收咗(13/14), 剛好pui Kiu 亦都收到收了, 而家仲揀緊, 有一D 問題想問問大家
1. 有人話WKF 小朋 ...

WKF有一個porject term，project 是在學校分組做的，父母根本不需要插手。其他較小規模的presentation tools，也是我女兒一手一腳自己搞，我從不幫佢做。

聽聞PK 小一會比小朋友學一種中樂器.....到小二會學西樂.....小三就讓小朋友揀自己鍾意嘅樂器一直學到尾

WKF 在音樂方面係點樣安排?

其實多唔多傳統幼稚園上WKF呢? 小一已要求英文方面要45MINS寫一篇短文, 好難做到?? 因為小朋友可能連基本D字都未識串

G1 should be able to handle a short essay writing no matter what kind of kindergarten they are from.  Coz, the requirement of the essay is to reflect what student had learn in class.  Teachers are not piggy on spelling or grammatical usage but if the key for the writing is to show the 6Ws (What, When, Where, Which, Why and Who); then assessment will be graded if students are well use of the knowledge.

Also, during class, teachers already guided them how to build sentence by using what's been taught.

As of course, the more reading childen did, it helps.  Doesn't matter if the book are long or short but complex in writing and have rooms for children to use their imaginations.

Hope this help.

請問小學部老師流失係咪好厲害?

Not really, only 2 teachers left from last year and of course some changes happened after Ms Din (Principal, Primary school) and Mrs Hsu (Vice principal) left.

Thanks, jql

I think it really doesn't matter a lot which kindergarten the child is from. Of course your child may have some advantages at the term beginning if he/she is already doing well on written English, but children will pick that up fast if they have strong interest. Besides, WKF also breaks up children into smaller groups according to their strength and weakness, so similar children would learn together at pace that should fit most, if not all, of the children in that group. Although they have such arrangement, they are not labeling the children, as the group names have nothing suggesting what the children's ability is.

Sounds good!  Thanks for your sharing Iriskwokmama.

小女讀緊G5，大仔就剛讀完WKF G12，無論中學或小學，都係雙班主任，同埋中英數係SPLIT CLASS，功課實在唔多，抄寫非常少。佢哋啲學生，聽、說、讀都冇問題，唯獨是寫，因為實在寫得少，所以佢哋係認到啲字，但係要佢哋寫出嚟有時好簡單嘅字係寫唔出。大仔入去WKF G7時係做白老鼠，當細女要由WKF同一間傳統名校作出取捨時真係好難作出決定，我而家冇後悔俾小女入埋WKF，佢真係讀得好開心，功課自動自覺做，唔駛逼，又冇乜考試壓力，因為除咗中英數真係要考之外，其他科都係做持續性評估（即係上堂表現、功課、做PROJECT等等都計分）。

Hi Mad , 你個大仔咩成績畢業, 入唔入到U ? 我諗好多家長都想知...THX

小兒現就讀G2, 如madmacuser所言抄寫非常少, 但寫作功課卻少不了.  在G1時老師要求每星期寫大半版jounal, 到G2時已要求寫一版了, 而且我見英文堂上教寫作的時間亦很多, 唔知係未要在小學時加強英語寫作能力.

其實我都有個疑問, 唔知點解外面啲人成日話小學部老師經常換, 我眼見G1時的老師(除了一位)全部在G2時見番喎, 真奇怪!

madmacuser, 可否分享下中學部情況, 特別是公開試成績, 謝謝.

Agree with 22welldone77.  

My son in G2 as well, he can write up at least 1.5 pages A4 size essay during the writing assessment.

And reading comprehensive skill is quite advance

Thoughts WKF really improved the syllabus and standard recently compare to the time while the school just set up.

有樣野我覺得奇怪係G1英文科, 每日功課主要係教生字, 我唔覺有教寫complete sentense哦..唔知老師係咪assume所有學生都已經有呢個基礎 (不過我發現好多小朋友都係國際幼稚園上wkf的), 所以係中文為主上wkf的小朋友真係較辛苦!

點樣可以由寫唔到complete sentense可以train到寫到1.5page essay? 我小朋友好多字都未識串, 唔知點幫佢跟

G1都有教寫句子, 不過要求比較間單, 例如最初既assessment, 只要求句首用大階, 句未要full stop, 否則扣分, 之後教了 adj.後, assessment便要寫多啲adj., 越多adj越多分喎(我仔講咋), 跟著到sequence words時便要用sequence words寫故事等.  

今年G2英文堂明顯教多了寫作, 如用mind map教5Ws, 我見他們用了很多時間在這項目上.  上次assessment又真係要同學用這方法去寫.  雖然在串字方面仍有錯, 但由於他們學了phonics, 寫出黎個字啲音係可以架, 老師知佢講咩又沒有圈佢地出來.  我個仔唔怕錯, 係又寫, 唔係又寫, 咁就版幾字了.

不過因為分組上堂關係, 我唔知我仔學的與其他組同學有冇唔同, 但考試內容是一樣的.

yes, there is a little bit difference from each split class.  Some focus on spelling, some focus on reading, some focus on writing.

Assessment criteria is the same and will be evaluated from the class expectation.

Don't worry if your kid not even able to spell the words.  Phonics and spelling exercise helps the kids to build the foundamental skill.

In fact, WKF's syllabus is not only focus if the kids spell the words correctly; is how to kids perform overall in different perspective.

They will assess the kids performance in creativity, usage of punctuation and format, contents of the essay.

But not point out the wrong spelling, instead not to discourage the creativity of the children.

My daughter is also studying G2. In the assessment, she can write down what she want to say through the phonics. Maybe some words wrong. But she really try her best to present her ideas to the teacher. Chinese and English have many writing practices. So I think her writing skill will be better in coming future.

我想問吓註冊左WKF係咪冇得玩自行派位？
