因為maths. 的知識是累積的.
我女今年p.3, 上學其maths.考試有d content是考返 p.2學過的野. 但因some reasons my daughter missed about one month's p.2 lessons before exam. 所以佢唔識答個部份. 最重要係老師無話要考p.2 d 野.所以無特別去理(但我覺得學校0甘做是好好的, 起碼唔使將學過的野比返老師)

mamimummy,

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

Thanks.

principal

mamimummy,

Oh ...................... I see.

That's why I intend to keep all the old worksheets and notes for a while.

principal

Fatty,

Glad to hear that we share the same feeling.

今年小二有golf打, 好正呀!

TINGMUM,

Really long trip for your daughter!!!

Australia : English-speaking environment; nice natural scenery; weather might be a little bit cool now.

Malaysia : Both English and Cantonese/Putonghua-speaking environment; islands, resorts, historic scenery (western Malaysia) and nice natural scenery (Sabah; eastern Malaysia); hot and humid weather.

Beijing : Putonghua-speaking environment; mainly historic scenery; hot and dry weather.

My first choice will be Australia, followed by Malaysia and then followed by Beijing.

Anyhow, just let your daughter choose where she wants to go.

We will not go that far in this summer.
Perhaps just 2-3 day short trips to nearby places.

Golf course in P.2??
Is it paid ECA??
I am not aware of such new activity in school.

My son was accepted by TSL (2nd phase), Kowloon Tong School and Chan's Creative School. I don't want to hold up the seats.

May I have your advice/comments on these schools in particular TSL (such as quantity of homework, pressure on kids from school regarding exam, homework, discipline and the teaching approach [active or traditional or in between]). Do you think TSL is an/a "active" or "traditional" school.

Too many questions. Many Thanks.

Best Regards

principal,

Golf Day course for all P2 students ---$15 only.  D

Sandra_100,

I can give you some comments about TSL.

a) Amount of homework : average 3-5 per day; more on Friday or before long weekend/holidays.

b) Pressure on kids : it may vary from one family to another.

c) Discipline : the school does emphasize on the discipline of the pupils.

d) Teaching approach/type of school : I would say in between, but a little bit closer to the active type.

Hope this helps.

2000626,

My personal comments are as below.

1) If you want your kid to learn French/Japanese just for interest, either one is fine as long as your daughter likes it.

2) But if you think about it more pragmatically (i.e. whether this third language will be useful for your kid or not in future career), you may consider the following.

Japanese : mainly used in Japan

French : used in France, part of Switzerland, part of Italy, part of Belgium, part of Luxembourg (Europe); Quebec & French-speaking provinces (Canada); some countries in the (Carribean Sea); former French colonies in (Africa) and various islands in the Pacific Ocean and some people in Vietnam and Laos (Asia)

As we are in HK, the young generation likes the Japanese culture, clothes, food and comic books very much and a lot of HK people like to go to Japan for vacation as well.
There are more Japanese companies in HK and there could be relatively higher chance to work for a Japanese company than a French company.

Geographically, HK is much farther from France than from Japan so theoretically, we should have relatively less chance in using French here, unless we work in a French company.  But you can use French in a much wider territory than Japanese.

However, my personal bias is that when a girl speaks French, it sounds beautiful.

I guess other TSL parents may have different views on this.

Hi 大家好!
    我的囝囝今年9月會在這間學校讀小一la, 請多多指教.
    我想請問這間學校小朋友的英文是否很勁呢?
   同埋想問升中入band 1的英中男校難唔難呢?
    還有學校的英文深唔深呢,好驚小朋友唔適應.
    問咁多問題真唔好意思!

Jessicajhg,

1) I would only say that there is relatively more chance for the kids to speak English at TSL compared to some local schools as there is roughly about 30% non-Chinese pupils in each class.
But compared to some international schools with lots of native speakers, there is still room for some TSL pupils to catch up.

2) As for the topic of secondary school, I think you have to guess what will happen about 5-6 years later if your son will start P.1 in the coming September.

You may treat the result of the P.6 pupils this year (to be annonuced in about 10 days later) just as a reference only.

If the academic result of the whole school will improve gradually in the next few years, that will have a more direct impact on your son.

To me, I always think that academic excellence is only one aspect we need to train our kids.
There are many othe aspects like music, sports, arts, moral education, strong will, helping the underprivilegded groups, and so on, we need to train up our kids as well.

3) Believe it or not, kids at the age of 5-6 can learn any languages very quickly.
I am sure your son will give you surprises very soon.
