Dear LiLiK, kkpapa and other Y6 parents,

Do your kids find things taught at Y6 difficult? My boy used to enjoy school very much. But last night, he told me that he did not like going to school now, unlike before, because he found the new school "very difficult". I could feel his frustration when he said so. I comforted him that things would get better soon. But deep down I am worried and feel sad. Can u share more how your kids settle into the new Y6?

Dear Longmum,

Though my son is still a Y1 student, I could still feel your worriness.  As IBD is really a difficult examination, that requests students to be equipped with fluent English and all-rounded knowledge.  This is really not an easy curriculum, especially for non English mother-tongue students.  

Hope your son to get through soon.  Best regards.

Longmum,   

year 6 here equival. to F. 1 of other school.   I found Maths and Eng. require different skills and technics, also more insight and efforts.   At the same time, year 6 kids now growing taller and become more sensitive to parents/teachers' comment.   they need to handle growing demands inside school as well.  It is a big challenge for them.   Let's back to basic,  hv a chat with the class teachers, or Ms. Lam who handles their moral class.   they can give the children psychological support.    I faced the same issue weeks ago and now my kid feeling much better after having a few talks with Ms. Lam and other teachers.

Could we say that there is still a gap between Y5 and Y6 curriculum, maybe Y5 is too easy.

kkpapa

kyliema2006,

I'm not sure about the gap issue.  there is also a gap between P. 6 and F. 1.    I wld say that parents and school support are both important to the boys and girls.

longmum,

year 5 class need to write 3000 words Chinese and English essay or research at the end of the school year.  the exercise start from May to Jul.   It creates great pressure to teacher, parents and kids, hwr, it is a good exercise to prepare for year 6 studies.    since your kid is new comer and I'm not sure whether he has this kind of experience.    anyway,  according to Principal Lau, it is not easy to introduce new comer to the year 6 class,   well...   it seems your child has good potential, that may be the good reason they accept your application.    pls give more confidence to your kid and contact class teacher for further help and support.

本人亦曾聽聞2E(去年1E)的質素平均是較好的, 但你說
"老師都會勸籲家長為孩子補習", 這有違學校的教育宗旨, 因此並不可信.

Dear all CKY parents:

早前，遇到一些際遇，希望與大家分享。

有一位二年E班家長告訴我，她懷疑蔡繼有是有編精英班的。去年，她兒子仍是1E班的時候，班內的學生素質很高、語言能力都很強，小一生已可以寫中文作文兩版。而班老師對學生的要求亦十分嚴格，語文程度不（夠）高、或數學計算不（夠）快的，老師都會勸籲家長為孩子補習，如參加公文數或找私人補習。老師對此班的學術成績遠比其它班別的更為嚴苛。

聽後我都覺得很新鮮，對於精英班的傳聞－不能証實，因為從未聽聞。

Thank you all for your sharing and advice. I will try to talk to the school teachers without waiting for the parents' day/night. BTW, have u heard about he parents' day/night? I wish to have it earlier so that I can get to know some parents and also about the school system.

Dear parent,

You may have the interest to take a look on the coverage of UK exam (incl. IB) from the following link :

Hope it can help to have an insight to what should be taught by the school in future. Thanks,

請問百寶箱是甚麼?  是否也是網上練習?

kkpapa

Longmum,

according to last week's circular, there will be a parents books sharing session for coming every saturday. Principal Lau will take the lead and limit to 25 seats.  hv you applied for it?   this session also combined with parents experience sharing session and Ms. Lam will be the team leader.  You may find it useful if you got one.

Regarding celebration of festivals, heard that only lower form students could participate the activities to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival while only upper form students could participate the activities to celebrate Halloween.  Is that true?  Why do they have such arrangement as all students should have equal rights to celebrate.

請問有沒有小朋友在CKY參加了校際朗誦比賽?

heiditcp

我問過老師，他說一年級無得參加。高年級由老師選拔。我就自己幫小朋友報名參加英文及普通話朗誦比賽。但好似已經截止報名.

cky2006

我小朋友也參加了普通話朗誦.  你有沒有在外邊找老師練習?

保良局蔡繼友學校的家長，請問保良局蔡繼友的程度如何？

小孩子開心嗎？

每年的雜費大約多少？我已知學費每年約$42000

由於小女將報讀小一，故需知多有關學校資料，以便決定報讀與否？

謝謝你們的幫忙！

Dear Fatherlove,

讓我分享兒子上學感受吧！因為功課壓力少，没有默書、測驗，亦没有很多抄寫的工作，所以孩子每天都很努力將功課做好，字寫得不夠齊整，他會主動改正，這真令我感到安慰。回想在幼稚園的時候，我要求他將文字寫好，他會非常委屈及不滿的，亦不願提起橡皮的。

雖然功課量不多，但並不代表有很多空閒的時間，亦不等於父母可以投閒置散，因為要提高孩子的閱讀興趣，所以每天都要與孩子閱讀課外書，所以一天匆匆忙忙便過去了！

蔡繼有提倡【愉快學習】，但我覺得她提供了一個【自學環境】，小一程度不算深，所以父母與孩子可以有更多時間學習其他知識。若孩子不喜歡閱讀，那麼蔡繼有未必會是上選，單靠學校的課程，學生的進步會很慢！聽說到高年級的時候，課程會很深，若孩子不願看書或不會搜集資料，到時孩子會很吃力的。

上學一個多月而來，孩子是快樂的、開朗的！而做父母的我就更快樂了！！

Hi cky2006,

去年我自己教小朋友讀音，然後請私人補感情動作(兩小時)。
