| ljsze, Preston also sweat a lot and I need to dry him up so he won't catch a cold at night. I remove the thick blanket tonight, hope it's better. I also read some of these books, only very brief info, just give you the basic stuff. It's more useful to ask parents and exchange info. between parents, you'll probably know more. More than half of the info from the book you don't need coz you only apply for a few schools and the rest are useless. I think there are many good schools but it's not easy to find 'the one' that is suitable for your kids. Have you asked Miss Lai about schools she thinks that's suitable for your kids? |

| Lydia I haven't been thinking of asking the teacher about suitable school. Then I guess you might have asked. I think Preston can fits into traditional school as well as int'l school. It's a good idea to ask the teacher for comment. If I have time, I will do so. |

| Dear all, Brian felt bored in staying at home today. When I told him that the school will close today, he was very sad. |

| Doris, Preston also said he's bored at home. It's quite sudden and I'm totally not prepared that I have no food at home (coz my maid can't go to the market). ljsze, Actually, Miss Lai said Preston is not suitable for traditional schools (those very traditional), that's why I'm thinking of schools like CKY. You may ask the teachers for comments coz the teachers have more idea on thier abilities and stregth. |

| Doris, Lydia Davin hasn't mentioned about feeling bored yet. Since I will be on leave next Monday, I may take him for outdoor activity (it depends). Lydia I went back to school this morning to get the stuff & talked to Miss Lai for quite a while. Miss Lai also said that Davin would not fully develop his abilities & strenghts studying in traditional school. She also mentioned about some popular schools & the comments from the parents. It was useful. Thanks for your advice of suggesting me talking to the teacher. My only worry in those schools like CKY & 陳守仁... is that they don't have linkage to sec. schools. Doris, do you have any idea about the sec school allocation from CKY & 陳守仁 ? |

| Dear moms, What does your son do at home during this long holidays? We went to the flower show at Victoria Park yesterday coz we're off. However, it may rain this weekend! :cry: Miss Lai is so nice that she called me and see if the kid is fine at home. I told her that Preston almost finished his homework already. |

| Lydia We also went to the Flower Show yesterday. I was surprised to see it was so crowded during weekday. Mr Shawn called me iso Miss Lai. It's good to receive their call. |

| Hi all, I also received phone call from Miss Lai this morning. It's so nice that they can arrange the phone follow-up. Even though I have two kids at home, they both feel sad because most ECA also suspended due to the serious flu. Anyway, maybe I'll arrange some outdoor activities for my kids during Easter and hope the class will resume normal on 31 Mar. 晞晴媽咪 :bashful: |
