如考小學...係唔係york好d??

You can go to THINK's hp to read the allocation results....I don't have York's results.

I think if THINK is not better than York for P.1 allocation, the 2 would not differ much.

Unless you u are comparing THINK with SC / KV etc.. then i think SC / KV might be better

But then I think the kids' interview performance is more important than which KG they go.  Somehow... it also means the parent education and support we give ...

朗思的小一派位結果:

http://www.think.edu.hk/chi/schjiu/php/file2/img/2008.pdf

這doc放了在九龍塘分校的網頁, 按"學校消息", 再按"學校通告"就搵到.  

至於麗港城think, 我覺得派位唔錯, 佢學生唔多, 教署網站寫有學生四十幾人, 派得好的比率較好, 相反york有300幾人, 唔係個個都派得好.

chung222

Thank you very much

my kid is doing whole day in THINK K1...
I choose Eng project class in PM

So far I'm v satisfied with his lang development esp Eng .. Can speak complete sentences now, though may not be correct grammatically all the time. But good enough for kids who don't speak much Eng at home already.

For Eng they teach according to Themes. THe vocabs that they learn are related to the theme of that month e.g. the theme is winter -- vocab = mitten, hotpot, jacket etc. But they;re not required to memorise the words (i.e. no dictation). However my son can say it out when he sees the related pic. The Eng class teacher once said that Eng in K2 will be a lot more difficult than K1.

They have the same theme in CHinese too. So far he has learnt about 20 simple Chi words and is able to recognise them.

For PTH, so bad that i can't help him at all at home but he has no prob speaking those things learnt in the TBK n sang those PTH songs too. Guess would be better if I help more at home.

They have homework every day in K1 but v simple e.g. line-tacing, colouring etc. Basically is related to the themes of that period. 2 days chinese hw, 2 days Eng hw. On Friday, they have "parent-child hw" like newscut, collecting pics related to the theme etc.

There are a number of experiencial learning activities and outings too. You can take a look at the monthly circular at the sch website to check.

My daughter is in Think K2, there is more homework already. Some Chinese words aren't too easy for children in my mind. So, my daughter likes English assignment more.

good to meet THINK's parent here .. may I know if the school teach phonis? As I'm thinking if I should let my son learns phonis outside school.

Are u asking LN / UN?

he's doing both 英粵 in LN and UN.

For LN ... there were only 10 students in the class with 1 local classteacher (my son was doing pm).  There was another class(es) using the same classroom. But I think they arrange lessons in a way which avoid time clashes or they were using different corners of the classroom. Not quite sure.

For UN (am)... there are around 20-22 in the class, with 2 class teachers, 1 net and 1  local (occupying the whole classroom this year). It seems that the class size is even smaller for pm class. But u've to clarify with the school. For languages, they will have split classes ie 10 per teacher. But they will join together (i.e. whole class) for cultural subjects e.g. arts, music, PE etc and snack time.

For whole day pm. I opted for all Eng (n 15 PTH) project class. I love this as it really helps to train his oral English.

If you're doing Eng/PTH, they have 1 net and 1 PTH teacher as class teachers. I don't think they put 英粵 and 英PTH students together in one class. You better check w/ the school about this.

In K2, it seems that all classes are in PTH / eng ... not quite sure abt that. .. In fact .. think has a lot of different combination esp for whole day children
