Doris, Glad to know that Brian likes his little sister very much, maybe Brian is a lot older so he knows how to take care of little sister. If they're closer in age, siblings will argue and fight more. One method is to praise the good one instead of scolding the naughty one. The naughty will immediatley get better. ljsze, I'll let Preston wear an extra vest so even if he doesn't cover with blanket, he's still warm. But usually kids get quite hot when sleep (Preston sweats a lot even with only pjamas and a vest on). Preston likes his full-day class very much. also. I found him knowing a lot more people than I thought, from schoolbus, full-day class... He always meet someone he knows at our estate and i have no idea who they are (he even knows the parents!) |

Doris, Lydia I just wonder if most kids don't cover themselves with blanket during the night, especially when it's getting cooler these days. Doris Does Brian tell you once that he wants tojoin full-day class ? |
DorisTSL | 2007-11-06 13:19 |
ljsze, I guess kids don't realize the need to cover themselves with blankets. However, Brian used to ask me to cover his whole body (shoulders to toes) with a blanket. He said he would feel more comfortable in this way. Yet, the blanket will no longer cover his body in the morning. Brian once told me that he wanted to join full day class. However, he didn't mention it again since then. How about Davin? |

Doris When Preston & Hei Hei joined full-day class, he asked a few times. Shing Shing just joined & Davin asked again. He even cried one day & refused to leave the school. |

ljsze, Why not let Davin take full-day? He misses his friends plus they learn some self-care skills and art work, games in the afternoon. Doris, You can let Brian take full-day class so your maid and your mom can have more time taking care of the little baby. |

ljsze, Lydia, Brian has to take some interest classes in weekdays. He may need to sacrifice the chance to take those classes if he takes full day. What's more, it's difficult to arrange evening interest classes for him in my case. So am session is more suitable for him at the moment. |

Lydia, Doris I may put Davin in full-day class but not now. Right now, he is also taking some interest classes in weekdays. If we shift those to weekends, that will be too much for Davin. Lydia What kind of art lesson is Preston having in the afternoon ? Chinese painting / calligraphy / something else ? When do kids leave for full-day class ? |

I want to know more about this school becasue I want to send my son (16 months) to N1 next year. 1. I heard that there is 1 Japanese teacher in the school. Is she still there and offer Japanese class? 2. Is the school fee includes field trips and special activites (e.g. New year parties). 3. Do the students speak English in the school? 4. Ratio of teacher vs students. 5. If my son get in N1 next year, will we have the first priority to get a seat for K1 and I can choose Mandarin + English as I want? :-? |

ljsze, Maybe K3 is another good chance for Davin and Brian to switch to full time. They will study full time in Primary school so they can prepare themselves for it earlier. Dear all, I found that Brian is still emotional. He still cries easily and it's not easy to settle him down. Frankly speaking, it does make me upset sometimes. elizatyy, 1. The Japanese teacher will only offer Japanese class for the Japanese students, not for the whole school. 2. The school fee includes almost everything. However, you need to pay fee for miscellaneous items (~$1000 for a year or half year?) and the school picnic. 3. Students used to speak Cantonese in school but they will speak English to the native English-speaking teachers. 4. Ratio 2 : 20-28. Some teacher helpers will also go to different classes from time to time. 5. I think the school will probably reserve a K1 place for your kid if he will study N1 next year in LH. For the Mandarin-English class, I guess priority will be given to the current N1 students in school. |
