Welcome Hei Ching mom, come and chat more with us. Hei Ching is so cute. bblaw, Good to hear that Ka ka is finally back to school. Preston is still adapting to full-day class, he cannot sleep in the naptime. Need to give him more time. ljsze, Take more rest and hope you recover soon. I plan to let Preston take Englisha nd Mandarin course if possible. No idea where to take the courses, need to make arrangement for his schedule. Doris, Have you talk to your maid about your expectations? Do you know the baby is a boy or girl? What's Brian's preference? |

Lydia I tried to browse the time-table of Star Learning Centre but seems that the schedule does not fit. Yet, I believe there are many alternatives in Whampoa / Hung Hom area. Keep checking. |

I also seek for phonics and Mardarin courses for KA Ka in star learning centre. But the schedule do not match her .

Hi ljsze, Glad to know that Davin can recover and back to school. Hope Davin and Hei Ching can still be a pair of good and sweet friends :loveliness: in this school year...;P ;P Last...Get well soon....:victory: :victory: Hi bblaw, Did you really see me before in primary forum ? Did we talk and share ? As a working mom, I want to plan the activities for my daughters wisely as spare time is valuable and limited. he he...Be honest, up to this moment, I still have not planned any ECA for Hei Ching. Sometimes, she feels boring at home especially I take my elder daugther out for activities. Most probably I will enrol a ballet course for her and kick-off piano learning from Jan 2008. I hope she can join the School Speech / Music Festival in K3 and the profile for applying primary schools should be pretty enough. Which primary schools will you apply for your kid ? 晞晴媽咪 :-) [ 本文章最後由 晞晴媽咪 於 07-8-18 13:36 編輯 ] |

Hei Ching mommi Try to find if there is any school that your kid can go at the same time so it saves your time while both of them can learn something. Btw, where do you live ? Tokwawan ? I haven't planned which schools to apply for. I used to live in HK side & I don't have much idea as to which schools in Kln are good. |

Hi ljsze, Actually, I plan to help Hei Ching to enrol for a ballet class which is same as her elder sister. However, the class for 4 yrs old and grade 3 (my elder sister) are not matched according to the timetable. That's why I still have not paid the school fee. Yes, we live in Tokwawan. Just behind Bailey Garden. Why do you help your son to apply for a kindergarten in Kowloon side but you live in Hong Kong Island ? Will you still try to look for a primary school in Kowloon ? For my case, I really hope that Hei Ching can get a place in her elder sister's. My elder one is now studying in Alliance Primary School, Kowloon Tong. That's why I want to start the piano class for her ASAP. 晞晴媽咪 :lol :lol |

Hei Ching mom, What's Alliance Primary school in Chinese? Is it a co-ed school and do they use traditional teaching method? It's difficult to say which primary school to apply coz I don't know which type is suitable for Preston. I don't want to choose the wrong type and he's not happy studying. Of course my dream school will be DBS but not much expectatation due to the competition. Preston is so shy that I don't think he's ready for the school/music festival. bblaw, Does Ka ka like full-day school? Preston was excited the 1st day and then the 2nd day Miss lai told me he was upset when he saw some classmates leaving at 12:00. I guess he needs some time to get used to the new routine. Does Ka ka sleep in the naptime? Any change after going to full-day? |

Hi LydiaWong, My elder daughter's primary school is: 九龍塘宣道小學. It is a private and band 1 primary school in Kowloon Tong. Although it is not a "one-dragon", it can obtain good secondary school allocation result every year. Over 85% of P6 students are band one and the remaining are band 2. I like it because my elder one loves music. Of course, DBS is a good primary school for boys but the competition is also keen. If you really like it, you can let Preston to try. Do you think your son can get a good primary school in round 1 (by marking scheme) ? If not, then it's almost time to think and plan. I got some interesting stuff from my friends regarding DBS interview to share with you.... Round 1: the boys sit in the interview / test by themselves.... Round 2: (less than 20% lucky kids) Parents and kids have an interview with the principal. Round 3: (final round)....talent show....piano, violin, cello, swimming....etc...some of them (from rich families) even have an accompanist when giving the musical performance to the DBS teachers... ha ha...maybe a bit overstate...but this happens every year in private schools interview. Even though it is my second time to face it, I feel very worry because Hei Ching is a shy girl and not so talkative as her sister. 晞晴媽咪 :-( :-( |

Dear all, Brian enjoyed Hei Hei's birthday party very much today. Hei Hei's Mom has chosen a wonderful place for kids (as parents as well). Brian skipped the afternoon nap since the new school year started but I let him take a nap this afternoon as he was so tired after playing for two hours. Lydia, Brian is going to have a sister and the EDD is early November. He is so excited and he keeps on asking me why his sister is still 'hiding' is my belly. Ha! ljsze, You looked tired today. Get well soon! Hei Ching's Mom, It's wonderful if Hei Ching can go to the same school with her sister. It saves much time in taking care of them during school days as they can take the same school bus. |

Hei Ching mom, Thanks for your sharing. I know there is only little chance to get in and Preston is a shy boy too. My friend's boy just got in this year, I'm not sure if he's smart, but he's not shy and quite mature and good at swimming. He attended 2 kindergartens( one in am and one in afternoon) and he has a lot of ECA. Will Hei Ching has an advantage to get into Alliance since her elder sis is studying there? Doris, Preston was a bit shy at the beginning. Brian is very outgoing now compared when he was in PN. What a good change. The party was great and Preston is also sleeping now. Need to wake him up otherwise he doesn't want to sleep tonight. [ 本文章最後由 LydiaWong 於 07-8-19 16:56 編輯 ] |
