WYmom

Dear TSL parents,

May I know if the extra-curricular activities are conducted within school hours or after school hours?  If after school, is there any school bus service?  Thanks.

Bluestar

WYmom,

This year, there is are ECA (free) classes every Friday from 2:15 - 3:15 pm, i.e within school hours, this is the last "lesson" on the timetable.  Need to "apply" at beginning of school year, each kid must attend 1 activity.  You can find a list of such ECA from the school website, look under "Activity".

Then there are voluntary, paid ECA classes, which can be any time during the week, Mon - Sat.

Some are within school hours (eg my son has a Western Percussion class during last lesson on Mondays) , some are outside, eg after school or Saturdays.
There is an "extra school bus" on 3 main routes (grouped) which leaves school every day at 4:30, $10 or $15 @ trip.  But note that these extra school bus routes do not cover ALL regular school bus routes (31 routes).

For those ECA classes during school hours, kids who do NOT attend any ECA class on those dates may be attending "homework" lesson instead.

Then there are the extra language classes, either Basic French or Basic Jap.  These are free, and occupy 1 lesson on the last lesson of 1 day each week.

If the kids are selected for sports training, the training time may also be later than 4:30pm.  So parents usually have to make arrangements to fetch the kids themselves for anything outside school hours.

You can take a look from this TSL website, under "school information" and "activity" (just click in) :

Dear all,

Busy at all sorts of tests and examinations these days??

There is a new interview of our Campus TV crew members by a magazine posted in the Campus TV section of the school web site today.

Also, just saw some new crew members with familiar faces!!

Have a look.

Dear principal:

Is me again, would you tell me about the chinese subject, Are they have many chinese writting, and the chinese exam are hard or not, In their first year, have exam also have putonghua as well. i'm bit worry about my girl chinese,

principal

manlili,

With regards to Chinese writing, there will be around 1-2 page homework about 3-4 times a week (almost everyday).
The Chinese homework is not so difficult.

As for the Chinese examination, the relatively "difficult" part could be the Chinese comprehension.
Sometimes when the pupils are not familiar with the format of the test/examination, they will lose some marks in this part.

There will be 2 Putonghua examinations (1 in first term and 1 in second term) and the examination consists of both oral and written examination.
Not so difficult.

I am also using my "broken" Putonghua to do the revision with my kid !!!

Don't worry too much.

Dear principal,

I am one of the parent of the PLKCTSLPS,I want to ask have we got Annual Concert  this year? :-|

principal

Rosannaliu,

When I look at the school calendar for 2006-2007, I cannot find any date assigned for the Annual Concert.

However, I can find past photos of Annual Concert of academic year 2005-2006 and 2003-2004 in the school web site.
I guess the Annual Concert may be held in alternate years.
But I am not 100% sure.

Can any parents of senior grades advice on this?

Or you may contact the Music teachers to confirm this point.

principal

Dear all,

Everyone should have received a new E-notice from the school today informing us that there will be class/group reshuffle from next Monday onwards for the next 3 weeks.
The main purpose is to divide all the pupils into new remedial and enhancement classes in preparation for the upcoming final examination.

Was there similar arrangement in May/June last year??
Or is it a new arrangement staring from this year?

Another related question is that when the pupils will advance to P.2 in the coming September, how will the pupils be divided into new classes?
I heard that there will be new class reshuffle at the beginning of the new academic year as well.
Will that be based on the final examination result or just at random so every pupil will have the chance to know some new classmates every year.

Can any parents advise on this?

Bluestar

principal,

Exams were held at end-May last year, then classes were reshuffled in June, by their acad performance, into 1,2,3,4,5,6, and all the 1s will attend classes in P1A classroom, 2s in P1B,.....I think the 5s and 6s go together to P1E.  Then there's a quiz / test at the end of the week, and the following week the kids are assigned into 1 - 6 according to their acad performance the previous week.  And kids would get a 1 - 6 for each major subject : Chin Engl and Maths, eg may be 2-3-4 for Week 1, 3-3-2 for Week 2.....
This went on for the whole of June.

So it's diff this year.  (Maybe trying out diff things.)

Then for P1 --> P2, classes were, I think, re-assigned by random in P2.

principal

Bluestar,

You are really speedy/efficient !!!

Based on your information, there seems to have slight difference this year.

I think it is good to let the pupils to have new classmates every year so theoretically, a P.6 pupil should know almost all the schoolmates in that grade and have a lot of friends before leaving the school.

  

principal

Dear all,

Originally, it should be a very good timing for the school to participate in the "No Air-conditioning Day" today.
But I heard that the fans in the classroom were still on so the kids have missed a very good chance to experience/learn the real definition of "heat" as the record-high temperature in this year was recorded today.

Meanwhile, the final examination is approaching (i.e. in less than 3 weeks).
Need to start preparing for that shortly.

Hope everyone will get good result this time.

各位，

想問下你地會點處置呢堆野？

1. 舊練習同作業。
2. 各科工作紙。
3. 其它科既 notes ( 例如 music).

另外，本人徵求二手平讓 General Studies 課本 (P.2 to P.6，新舊版都無所謂，因為仔仔勁鐘意呢科，佢想睇多D)。

principal

Fatty,

How are you recently?

I will keep all these worksheets and notes in different files first.

Fatty

principal，

其實，我想考完試就掉晒D 工作紙同 notes, 因為真係無眼睇 :

呢排個仔同我大戰緊，每次叫溫書就要講數。

佢每次溫書唔可以多過1 小時，如果唔係佢就會玩善忘。溫佐等於無溫。

不過，有時覺得，只係一年班，唔好 set 太高要求，70分我覺得已經好好。如果有80以上，我諗我會開心死！可能我要求低，有時有得佢自由發揮。

principal

Fatty,

Nowadays, kids are all very good at negotiation and to test the adults' bottom line.
My girl is always doing this.
Sometimes, it is just like doing a transaction.

I also heard from some educational experts that boys in general tend to catch up somewhat later so he may give you surprises one day.

One more week to go!!!

Sorry, 答嘴.
書可以掉, 但 工作紙同 notes就唔好掉.由其是Maths.

principal

mamimummy,

May I know if there is any special purpose to keep the old Maths worksheets in particular?

Thanks.

principal

Dear all,

The final examination is just over.

Time flies.   One year has passed so quickly.

It's high time to make an overall comment on the school now.

My kid likes the school, her schoolmates, teachers and the principal very much.

To us, TSL is definitely a very happy school.

Have a good summer vacation.
