sandythepooh

joey,

you mean you met YCT yesterday?  How's she?  Did you tell her that we all miss her?

btw, questions from my friend on HKPS......
(1)are the K3 students require to attend whole day's school for 3 months for interview training in am?
(2) How's the workload of HW in HKPS (to me, I think it's average.... and some of them needs parents' participation, right?)

appreciate your answer, thanks

Hi Joey,

I've been reading your responses and I feel that we are all so lucky that we have you to share your knowledge and experience.

I'm starting to really understand the HUGE different between life in Sydney and life in HK. Kids in Sydney don't even go to kindie until they are 6 years old (earliest would probably be 5). My cousin's daughter(she just visited me last month) at the age of 5, couldn't even write her own name. Homework in kindie would be unheard of in the western world. If I have to reflect back on my high school days in Sydney, I don't remember having that many homework either because I spent most days going to my friends' houses after school, playing cricket or going for orchestra training (I played the piano/violin). When I got home from these, at around 5.30pm, it was dinner time, then it was another 2-3 hours of cartoon/Australian soap operas before going off to bed.
We have 24 hours cartoons in Sydney, by the way, hee hee. Sometimes I feel so sorry for kids here and for my little Pui because life for her will be so different from her mummy.  Sometimes it feels not right. Learning should be fun. Otherwise, the kids may dislike learning or feel pressured by it, so much so that they will not want to "try" to be creative at what they learn because sthey are curious or they may not have that "hunger" to learn more which was what it was like for kids overseas. It's like over here, kids get stickers and chops when they do well, and if they don't, they have to work harder at them. But elsewhere in the world, you don't get that pressure. If you don't like one book, fine, just choose another one. No pressure. Hmmm........ but I'm getting used to life here. Kind of, anyway......

What are the interviews for in K2/early K3?

PS: I didn't understand early posts but how come YCT cannot join our chats anymore?

Joey,

So, any particular reason that YCT can't come here  

Also, thanks for your information.....it's so good that you're our consultant here..... those questions are from a BK friend who's deciding which K1 to take for her son...


MayAnne,

We are guessing the reason why YCT no show recently too and we suspect that she's quarantine by her husband   :wink:

Those are the interviews for primary.... I hate them too    :tongue:

我有去個講座，個講者韋女士d經驗幾豐富，又睇左好多研究，我覺得都算幾值得聽！Y姐同GaGaDaddy，o岩唔o岩呀？

佢好鼓勵小朋友先學好母語，然後去學其他常識，訓練自己個思想，最後先學外語。最緊要睇下個小朋友有個乜野o既語言環境，用佢最擅長o既母語去學習！另外介紹左一種叫做"repeated pattern, predictable story" 俾小朋友去睇，如果家長可以跟住指引去教小朋友閱讀就會好有用。(套書我地遲d reading scheme會用)

另外都有提到幼兒教育唔應該注意寫字同串字、默書，應該要多聽、多思考。避免死記。例如中文字最好係睇返字o既來源，咁就會容易記得；英文字就睇拼音，識得o既話就可以根據前文後理寫得出d英文字！

仲有冇呀？[/quote]

   唔咳晒
我想問下那一套書可以係邊度買，係咩名同咩出辦社，你知啦，焮焮有一半時間唔返學，咁我都可以係屋企教下佢   

ＹＣＴ都係仲未蒲頭喎    等我聽日打比佢睇下佢得唔得閒先

YCT

Hi all,      我又蒲頭嗱!

用左兩個鐘先睇晒之前26頁! 唔得, 好攰, 瞓教先!   

如果聽日真係confirm飲茶, 就call我啦!

YCT

原來有成個月無上嚟吹水, 同組長嘅距離拉遠晒, 要急起直追至得!
