Hi Florence,
想問為何會囀去SIS,是否Sacred Heart有問題?
因好多Parents都想入SH.
另一問題SIS難考嗎?除了$$外,還有什麽要注意.

Thanks.

florence,
我都想細囡入sacred heart, 但你囡囡上到SIS有沒有什麼銜接困難?
你囡囡是P1轉入去的嗎?

Hi tmlklstkjtrl,

我個女係sacred heart讀完k1之後就轉左去SIS讀PY1, 初期係英文同普通話方面未必能夠完全掌握, 不過好快就可以適應 (大約1個月左右).....其他各方面都無問題, 佢返學都不知幾enjoy !![/quote]

hi lego,

唔係sacred heart有問題, 只不過係我個囡囡唔適合...
我覺得sis唔難考, 只要小朋友唔怕醜, 定d, 就應該無問題....

小朋友apply左 sis, 可唔可以join大抽獎??

besides, my daughter knows little mandarin only, e.g.:  (你好, 早安, 吃飯), pronounce her name and count from 1-10. is it enough for the interview?

我屋企只係少少時間用mandarin溝通(多數係同工人姐姐講)
english都唔多(平時響屋企同囡囡見面時間很少, 不是成日溝通, 所以bb d mandarin同english都係平時 同工人姐姐, 麻麻同家姐學返黎)
我有d擔心bb d 英文同mandarin都追唔上, 平時見到屋企樓下d SIS小朋友屋企都好似係講mandarin..

florence,
你的小朋友有冇另外學mandarin同英文?

多謝各位解答

florence

hi tmlklstkjtrl,

我個小朋友入SIS之前, 可以話係一句普通話都唔識, 英文就係日常同賓姐講得比較多, 但係一句sentence裡有一半係唔正確的 (不過都會知佢講咩)....

由入左SIS之後到現在, 我都無另外要佢學普通話及英文 (佢只有跳舞及學琴兩樣課外活動) 因為係學校已經學到普通話及英文, 我唔想迫佢"進補"而令佢減低佢既興趣, 加上在學校裡, 小朋友只可以講英文同埋普通話, 佢地每日有幾小時被迫運用呢兩種語言, 好快就會進步神速的, 到時會把你嚇親呢 !! 可能到時你就會擔心佢唔肯同你講CANTONESE架喇....

我個女已經同我講話英文最易講, 跟住就係mandarin, 中文(即廣東話)最難, 佢現在用廣東話同我講野時, 有時會講左普通話呢......講一個實例比你聽, 當佢聽歌時, 如果歌詞係廣東話的話, 佢聽好多次都唱唔到首歌 ("無賴"就係一個好例子), 如果首歌係英文或普通話呢, 佢就好快學識唱 ("老鼠愛大米"就係另一個例子喇)....

如果小朋友喜歡看vcd, 你不妨買d普通話&英文vcd比佢睇, 我個女就係睇呢d vcd學左唔少英文&普通話的.....

Hi all,

Is there any parents here living in NT ?
Are you taking the Kwoon Chung school bus ?
Any parents using school bus other than Kwoon Chung ?

Thanks.

chanms

Yes, Kwoon Chung only.
But it provides a lot of routes including NT.

As I know, the farest one is TKO, Fo Tan.

Actually, you may discuss with Kwoon Chung, then it will provide for you.

However, you may consider your child may wake up early to get on the school bus.

For Mandarin and English, my son does not have any tutor on this topic, and both languages are good enough. Of course, we can't compare with the native one.
He's now studying in P5. And his Trinity testing result is Distinction.

My son is studying P2 in SIS, going to be P.3 in the next term. He has just finished the exam. But I find he is very unwilling to write essays both in English and Chinese. Is there any tutors who know the Singapore curriculum very well in HK side?

The math curriculum is quite different from the mainstream in HK. I am worrying about my son who cannot catch up with. Please advise.

How about the subject of Science? Any opinion according to your experience? Most of the SIS parents said that it is quite difficult.

P1+P2是honeymoon, P3是新的階段,亦是父母要付出比較多的時間,因為他們在學校的心目中已不是小妹妹小弟弟,所以各科的要求同時增加:

中文: P3作文長度增加, P4老師要求作文要精彩和吸引, 我個女今年P4,中文已按程度分班教, 佢個班個老師剛從新加坡來, 要求非常嚴格, 我個女開學初期作一頁多,老師要求佢要內容豐富D,到依家學期尾, 佢作到2-3頁紙, 老師又要佢要作得精彩和吸引,不要太白…我個女嘗試在圖片以外加多D原素, 佢又話佢與圖片內容不符, 所以我個女考作文唔會揀看圖作文, 她比較喜歡比左個開頭, 跟住自己作落去…我唯有安慰個女老師要求高d進步就快d囉!

英文: P1和P2一般香港的小朋友(不是native)都可以應付,但到左P3, 我個女很吃力,不但生字深, 閱讀理解已去到不是單看表面內容就可以答到,答案很多時句子蘊藏的意思,很容易答錯,tense教得很快!我個女通常是靠grammer取分.唯一辦法是叫佢睇多d課外書, 不過詰時話, 3年班已可以睇1-2寸厚的大人書….

數學: 大部份是文字題, p3時我個女會因為有時解唔到條題目已做錯;但到p4就沒有這個問題; 同時sis是用modeling的方法做數學,p3一定要掌握到modeling,去到p4就容易很多.好彩我個女數學沒有什麼問題,老師有時叫佢去教同學, 由p1開始, 我鼓勵佢在學校書店買p2的補充試做,直到去到p3, 今年就沒有了,因p4都需很多時間應付(最重要是p4開始佢覺得自己大個女,有自己的時間安排),

科學: p3第一年有,真是很深, 內容很多,有些內容是hk中一,二才學的,p3開始時每科老師都和同家長講佢地的要求和教學方法,所以我就聽老師鼓勵, 托朋友在新加坡popular買左本primary science encyclomedia (s$20),內容跟p3和p4的課本大至相同, 但很詳細,d字好細, 同時可以訓練小朋友的耐性…我個女science都可以自己攪店, 不需要我操心…

我個人的經驗係1-2年班要叫佢地睇很多很多的中英文課外書(為中英文打底),3年班會比較少時間睇課外書因要應付maths和science,但都要keep住睇, 4年班又多返d時間睇課外書,我個女今年就睇很多science的課外書,佢老師介紹佢地睇horrible science serious, 非常有趣.

不過不需要擔心, 好似很多要顧及, 但一般小朋友都可以應付, 但可能家長會追唔到, 所以有d小朋友4年班開始要補習.
我個女就沒有.

stephanie'sMum,

應該是越細越容易, 所以如果妳比佢幼稚園入就容易d,因為3歲幾人仔唔會考筆試, 幾年前是叫d小朋友講下picture有什麼,從一大堆數字中揀出個6字.叫佢劃d野....

interview時妳可以揀英文或國語!我個大女都很怕羞, 所以我會早d帶佢去, 同佢玩, 玩到好開心先入去interview,以前對住幾個外國人in架...不過我無帶佢去, 怕佢要stick住我喊, 唔肯入去...

hi,yyyy
  我想問我女的問題,我女現在京斯頓國際幼稚園讀二歲班,但是kingston没有中學,所以我想帮我女轉校,我想問SIS INTERVIEW 難不難?因為ENGLISH AND MANDARIN她應該没問題,只是她有一點害羞.THANK'S.

Thank you for your response. It is very useful for me. May I ask the publisher of the Primary Encyclopedia? Is it available in SIS bookstore?

Moreover, my son is more interested in reading English fiction rather that Chinese story books. Does your daughter face the same problem? Any suggestion?

sis書店應該無得賣!publisher我遲些告訴妳吧!

在分數上看, 我個女中文比英文高分, 基於成功是成功之母的理論,佢唔抗拒睇中文書,一年班個年佢睇左200幾本中文書,100幾本英文書, 係短短的那種!

讀2國際學校好正常係睇英文書,一來英文書容易睇,加上佢地識拚音,比較少字唔識讀, 但中文就多d字唔識讀, 所1老師都鼓勵佢地借有國語拼音的書睇.

妳個仔如果唔喜歡睇中文書, 可以比佢睇老夫子,叮噹d漫畫書,我個女睇得好開心,昨晚還睇到卡卡笑!
