I don't think that I will let my son to have exam at the Kinder stage, my son is a small B as well. I'm glad that KCS donesn't have exams. I even dont' let my son to join phonics course, may be I have to consider it la.

I was wondering over the last weekend that does KCS still 分 中文部 & 英文部@ its primary school? If so, how can we get into 英文部?

BTW, have you all read yesterday's newspaper? there was a news about a Dad was dead on this Wed moring during the way to KCS, becasue of he fall down from the staircase @fort street while he sending his daughter to school. It was so said that this happended on mid-autum festival. So Mums please take extra careful of this and dont' hold you kids while walking at steep staricase, especially rainy days, just ask them to walk by themselves.

KCS primary (local stream) does not 分 中文部 & 英文部.  Some people when saying 英文部, they are refering to KCIS, the international stream.

Yes, I heard the accident yesterday, still feel sad until now.  Life is so "fragile".....treasure what you have!

Sorb, thank you. But can my kid apply KCIS of primary? Or he can only be promoted to local stream becaseu of local kinder?

Since I was graduated from KCS 英文部 (primary), as I remember I joined the local exam as well, it seemed not much difference between 英文部＆中文部at my year.

Sorb

Woh, another KCS alumni : ) There are so many KCS alumni around me, I dare not say anything bad against KCS tim : )  I think if you quote your year of graduation to me, I can easily help you to find your old classmates around the people I know, hahaha......

For KCS primary international stream, if you are interested, you may consider applying now..... firstly, it accept application on a 1st come 1st served basis (I learnt no interview is required).  Secondly, P1 of KCIS equal to K3 of KCS (local). So, if you are interested in it, your kid can switch to KCIS P1 next academic year lah.

Actaully, I don't aware there are 2 sections in old KCS(local) until now ah.  

Well, after seeing your message.....you make me call my hubby to clarify if he was from 英文部 or 中文部 tim.  He said: "I had "Gui Lo" to teach me English ga, you said I am from 英文部 or 中文部 ah?"........silly....so "inch"....just kidding : ) But it's true in my old time, not too many schools had "Gui Lo" teach English all the time ge.   Our kids are so lucky to be taught by NET in English and PTH now.

So, Tata1668, I really have linking(s) with  英文部 woh.....厲害!!!

Yes, and it is so common to have NET in Kinders!  

Sorb, after clarifying 英文部 or 中文部, you have to find out am or pm class as well!  Hope you can help me to find more classmates!  Hehehehe

Sorb, It seems I find most suitable person to answer my questions about KCS la. In my year, I also had "Gui Po" teach my english ga, but couldn't remember her name & face la. I remember I liked my chinese teacher very much, she was very nice to me.

Now I am can understand more about KCS's division la. I will let my son go to local stream, no need to consider KCIS la. It seems that the competition of KCS primary is also high, really worry if my son can get seat or not. I might let him to repeat K2, due to his is a small boy.

Tata1668

YiiuChunMa,

Nice to meet you!  I was from KCS too, but from the Chinese division.  My son is also a small boy (0612). How about yours? Honestly, there is difference in somehow between small boy and big boy.  I am still struggling whether to let mine to repeat...

YiuChunMa

Hello Tata1668,

My son is also 0612 B ar. I agreed that there is big difference between small B & big B. Originally I wanted him to repeat K1, but his teacher said K1 was easy, may consider to repeat at K2. The main point I consider is his 小肌肉development, ie his writing. May be I need to seek teacher's advice again later.

One more thing is if repeat K2, that means many 2007 BB were born on that year, so more competition to face when apply P1.....
Of couse, I hope KCS will accept him as P1 student la.

So great to meet 0612 mama here.  I am not alone lu!  Derek's K1 teacher also commented not to repeat K1.  She just asked me give him more time and the difference would be minimize.  Well, my son is not mature enough and his minor motor may not be that strong, but others are OK.  At least he is not too far behind from understanging.

By the way, my son is in K1F. How about yours?

My son is at K2G ar.
Seems both boys development are quite similar wo I saw on school hand book that from mid of Oct  to early Nov, school will assess kids' progress, hope they are on the track la.

My son still can't tell me clearly what he has learnt at the school every day, he also can't remember his classmates name (on the same table) etc.... I just know that his english teacher is changed to Mr. Ian, that's all.

HI YiuChunMa

For training 小肌肉, the teacher ask me to train them using the siscors to cut paper, 玩泥膠 or 扭毛巾.  I think more practical is to learn how to cut paper and it is fun for them too.

Hope this helps

Tata1668

Yes, my son loves using scissors to cut paper.  Well, I think I should let him do some more!  Hehe.

YiuChunMa, my son always like daydreaming at school... can't tell what happen (except what's for tea time) in school.  Whenever I asked him what teachers told him,  his answer always is "I don't know"!!! He doesn't know the name of the kids, even beside him!  Oh my god!

Tata1668

想問下大家知唔知邊一個收費電視台會有較優質的中文卡通.  我覺得tvx/atx既卡通真係唔適合... 但好多時收費既, 又好似得英文, 學英文真係一流, 但想學中文呢?!

Hi Tata1668

I now started to play a game with my son "tell me 5 things that happened in the school" and he will get 5 stars.  I just started very recently and I think result is quite good.  Now he will打小報告 like who is being punished today.  Of course only told me because he is naughty and not describe the whole incident.  Hope he could tell me more when time comes.
