0８年入真道小一家長聚談

peppergin

各位家長好，

我想在囝囝入學前，和大家交個朋友，彼此認識，也交換大家怎樣為孩子準備上小一的心得。

我住沙田對TKO區不很熟，也沒有很多朋友送孩子到真道讀書，所以只能從BK家長口中了解多點真道的情況。請各位家長多多指教。

Thanks for your invitation .....sure I will also read the sharing in "真道中、小家長聚談" from time to time. I understand there are a few parents that have already formed a nice supporting circle. You guys even organizes exciting and interesting wild camping tim....

But I think for new parents like me, may be it's good to get to know each other and start communication from fresh, rather than spending time to read over 90 pages of messages before we can know what's going on. Besides, our concern in facing a new school would be quite different from the topics that interest the existing parents. May be it's not appropriate to interrupt.

Please do join our sharing and offer your views too.

peppergin,

你很有心呀!! 多謝你開這個topic。囝囝都是08-09小一入讀真道。我都好希望在bk預先認識08家長，大家可以互相交流一下、互相扶持及分享小一入學的生活點滴。

小兒是02年5月出世，家住銅鑼灣，我是在職媽咪。不過如車程太遠，我會考慮搬屋，但所有計劃都要08年7、8月再決定。但你說你住沙田，你打算自己送囝囝番學或是搭校車 ?

很高興在bk認識你。

-mo-,

nice to meet you! my son also has got accepted early, so no need to play the "lucky draw" lu...Thank God for that!

I'm a working Mom. I have 2 boys (5yr and 16m), so don't have much time with the kids (they sleep early ga ma). You know, there is really a gap between K3 and P.1...I am worrying that if I don't help my son to get prepared for P.1, he will have a hard time adapting.

How about you?

mo,

歡迎你加入08真道家長聚談。我相信我們的小朋友都是第一輪入選的08小一生。不知道真道是否你的第一志願，但對於我及丈夫就是首選。因為我們由上年k2開始就到不同的直資學校聽簡介會，坦白說，每一間學校都各有特色，而最後我們只報考真道一間直資小學(家住12網，其實可能有機會大抽獎入到灣仔名小學)，但我們分析小兒性格及各小學的特色，認為真道應該比較適合囝囝的發展。不過，我們明白家長適當的參予是非常重要。

很希望大家08家長互相幫助，不知道你是否在職媽咪 ?

Hi peppergin,

His name is Max (short form from Maxwell).  We are so happy to be accepted in Logos.  His daddy is the one who fully supports Logos and he pays more attention on the learning process than exam result. Our point is that we would like to share or teach Max everything all the time.  Let's share our boys' happy school life in coming time.

Keep in touch and say hi to me when you are free.

thomas23,
真道都是首選,而且覺得和這學校好有緣份, 在女儿Ｋ1時, 以经去听簡介會了, 因為我從一開始以經鎖定只在將軍澳和觀塘區(因怕路程太遠了,小朋友每天太辛苦), 前兩年由于對真道不是太了解,所以并不是太在意它, 而且我家旁邊又新開辦了一间播道會的直資英文小學,但是隨着今年開始筹备和各方了解收集資料,越來越喜歡真道,我覺得學校能够用1小時去觀察小朋友,而且校長說明報名不需要太多資料,以此來看,他們是真心以小朋友的表現來做為收生條件,而且很适合我那活潑好動的女儿, 現在真的好開心.


peppergin,
我是半職媽咪, 自從生了女儿, 放完產假就換了份兼職, 因為小朋友在0-6歲期间的发展太重要了,而且又可以有多一些親子空间. 小女叫Winnie ,希望到時可以同班.

hi -mo- & peppergin,

真的很開心在bk認識你們，大家都是關心囝囝囡囡的母親，實在難得，希望以愉快的心情面對未來多采多姿的小一生活。一起做個開心精靈媽咪。

坦白說，直資學校的面試制度在某程度上，令有共同教育理念的父母走在一起，無論大人或小朋友都比較容易溝通及成為好朋友。我知道真道有很多的優點及可以改善的缺點，身為08家長，就像對囝囝一樣，保持耐性，不斷支持及善意反映，相信大人及細路都應該讀得開心。

一起努力吧 !!

Hi again mo and thomas23, also hi to Max and Winnie,

I applied 4 DSS schools for John. I am not confident that John can perform properly in sch interviews. He's is the "moody" type, and bit shy and have a way on his own. you can say he is of "some character" or "stubborn". One of the reasons I applied for Logos is also the fairness in 1st run interview. We really did not prepare anything for it. We're glad that they like John and accepted him....I also believe that God has prepared what's most suitable for John.

歡迎各位準小一家長！以我自己的經驗，為孩子準備上小一：
１．最重要是開始訓練孩子早睡早起，大部份小學都需要返全日，時間比較長，而真道比其他學校多一堂，時間更長，試想想孩子由返３小時變成返８小時，他們需要時間適應。
２．教小朋友每隔１小時一定要去厠所，唔好掛住玩，眼見其他小學啲學生二年級都會“賴賴”　唉！
真道每上一堂（４５ｍｉｎｓ）都會有一個小息，我小朋友細個時（佢今年四年級），每朝都會提佢小息時一定要去厠所，同埋一定要飲水。
３．訓練孩子自己食飯，上到小學就要係學校食午飯，無咁多人服侍。
４．訓練孩子自己執拾，整理個人物品，真道是要學生學會，自學，自理，自省。
還有很多時間，希望各位家長可以好好為孩子準備，到時見！

The only hesitation is the travelling time to school from Shatin....I wish someone can tell me the time and routing of the shatin schoolbus....do you know any "Shatin-yau" studying in Logos ?

From other threads, the parents seemed indicated that the school is trying hard to reduce the traveling time of schoolbus....I hope this is true la. If it turned out that the traveling time is too unbearable, we will still consider moving home ge.......

Seems that I am the only one with 2 kids. As I said, time after work is really not enough for 2 kids. I am seriously considering turning full time mom very soon.

-mo- you're absolutely correct in pointing that the importance of 0-6 yr development. Hong Kong is so lag behind in realizing this compared to many developed countries in the world.

peppergin

Thx to you 軒Mother,

I let my son joining an extended class in the afternoon at the kindergarten. Now he also eats lunch at school, have some school activities and complete his homework at school. The extended classes end after 4:00pm....but the kinder is near to our home....I think I do need to train up my son to take care of his own stuff..

好高興認識大家, 我的小朋友也會是08年入真道小一, 現時仍未改好英文名字呀! 家住鑽石山. 唔知返學車程會唔會好耐呢?
想問下大家讀什麼幼稚園呢? 會唔會有幼稚園同學仔呢?
希望這topic可以一直陪住我地到08年開學啦!
相信最難的都係要train up早睡早起和食lunch快手快腳.

Hi 小兒兒,

nice to meet you!

my son is studying in a small kindergarten run by a christian church in Shatin. How about you son?

At this point, I do not aware of any of his classmate also applied Logos. Most parents in Shatin will consider TKO very far away.

Actually, we have tried driving from home to Logos. It's only around 20 mins, but it will certainly not be the case for a school bus. I had tried to look for bus routing information from the Logos website, but couldn't find it.

Are you a working Mom? how may kids do you have ar?

Peppergin,
妳好啊!
我的小朋友讀緊靈糧幼稚園, 暫知有一位不同班的同學仔也被真道收了, 但到最終唔知佢會唔會讀呢?
校車時間真係同私家車無得比, 校車要站站停, 也不知會唔會每個屋苑有上車站, 如果無得話就慘啦, 仲要行出去上車………. 這個我也擔心的, 但好似話要到每年8月左右等晒所有新生報名後才可安排校車路線時間表. 食方面, 我正想好唔好叫賓賓每天帶飯去, 總好過天天食飯盒. 如果有同路人分擔一下, 每家庭take turn每月預備2星期就好了. 或有住得近同學家庭願意煮多份可以買給我仔仔就好了.
我只有一個小朋友, 我也是要上班的媽咪. 不過我有一些朋友的子女就讀真道, 知道課程也不易, 有少少擔心上到托階3-4時跟唔到呀? 他們說因學校無textbook, 很難跟進溫習, 而老師也要付出很多努力, 因而老師也轉人也轉得頗快, 不過個個請回來的老師也好好, 好有料好有愛心和承擔.

小兒兒,

I have read your sharing in 010's thread (?), your experience is very similar to mine. Our kids was accepted by Logos, but we're worry that if "another DSS" also have chance ....then we need to make a choice. I also prefer God only allow 1 school accept my son, so I don't need to think too much . This also happened. Actually, knowing more information day by day, considering my son's character , Logos is more suitable.

In fact, more and more I found that, Logos being one of the first DSS schools in Hong Kong, with established curriculum and experience, she will have advantage in this era. An era of 教育改革 (the generation of our son is not facing the old system anymore, but IB or a new high school exam that no school ,even the traditional schools, knows exactly what it is).

I would suggest you not to worry too much about food. Eating lunch box is not too bad. Nowadays lunch box suppliers are more conscious about balance diet la gua. our kid will only have 1 meal outside je...there are still ways to compensate if they eat poorly at school...take it easier la

Yes... like many boys, mine is not very good at reading words, writing nicely, spelling, memorizing...I am kind of worry if he can catch up in class eventually, or if I need to push him a bit ....you know, pushing too much may have negative effect ga ma....losing the interest in learning 咪慘   !
