For Foundation Year. TIA

Anyone can give me some tips? Much appreciated!

1 - 比D深字要小朋友臨摹， 如[龍] 蘋]
2 - 比個鐘要小朋友畫 上時間， 如三點半， 八點十五分等
3 - 老師講故事，小朋友要聆聽 並回答問題
4 - 雖然話不考語言能力，但如果小朋友聼不明白英文和普通話，機會會好低。

If kids can't comprehend basic instructions in both English and PTH, I don't think they should choose the school?

嘩... 要求越來越高. 不過ISF 都不易讀的. 大家要有心理準備呀.

要提提不是每個小朋友都可以bilingual, 有些小朋友只鐘意中文, 有些只鐘意英文.
所以真的要找適合自己小朋友的學校.
isf 是一間好學校, 不過都是有要求的學校.

Is this more like for grade 1? So difficult!

Wow, the first 2 activities are difficult! Thanks for the tips!!

I heard there is only reading time instead of real homework in FY (recommended 20 min in Eng and 20 min in Chi a day). But anyhow, it is a tough school. Ah well, let's see if we are lucky enough to get through to Stage 2 first.

Thanks again everyone!

My daughter attended the first interview for FY, but the content of interview was totally different!!

Yes also different fr my sons. He was asked to write his name play games with other kids and tell a story.

Yes also different for my daughter. She told me she was asked to draw a picture and write her name. They then read a story and she said the teacher asked the children questions like "Who likes to eat xx, raise your hand". They also did kangeroo jumps and froggy hops.
