Hi all, To my best knowledge, there would be no "test" for P.1 students this time but "assessment" only. And the assessment would be carried out this week for our class. But I think you could double verify it with your class teacher/ science teacher (via your kids, maybe?). :-? :-? :-? Quote: lkong2005 寫道: I also do not have the work sheets at home.

Any interests to share your experience how to help your kids on Mandarin/English ? My son did not take any phoncis/playgroup courses for Mandarin. 1. Help him to find some friends who speaks Mandarin only. Arrange regular meeting between them e.g. Saturday or Sunday and play together. This may consider as free play group. 2. I bought some healthy Mandarin Cartoon he is interested e.g. Blue Cat蓝 猫 ,Taiwan version of Doramon and let me watch them twice a week, one hour each time. 3. Play with him and speak Mandarin occasionally. 4. Let him listen to some interesting Mandarin stories in CD when he is alone/playing. 5. Read at least two Chinese story books in Mandarin every week. For English, I used the same way : 1. Help him to find/make friends with some English speaking kids e.g. foreigners or children who are studying in International schools. Arrange regular meetings Friday/Saturday/Sunday to play together. Also free play group. 2. Bought DVD he likes and let him watch them every week e.g. 4 days a week, 1 hour each time e.g. Sesame Streets, Herge the Adventures of Tin Tin, Disney’s movies, Hello Kitty ….. 3. Play with him and speak English occasionally. 4. Read at least one English story book a day. 5. Join the English Phonics from last July till now. What are your experience ? |

Hi lkong2005, I am a working mother without maid. Most of the time spend on working & "See Dr.". Health is my first priority, I don't have time to help my kid on Mandarin/English's phonics/oral. She like watching Harry Potter, not cartoon film. She will watch Sorcerer's stone today and already schedule to watch Chamer of secrets tomorrow. ;-) |

Hi lkong2005, For Mandarin, our kid has attended Mandarin class for about a year (since he was accepted by LHT). But he always speaks Cantonese in class as we know. :sm: :sm: :sm: His Mandarin oral skill is very poor as he has not taken the chance to practice so far. But his listening is “relatively” much better. So he did not feel too difficult to adapt to the Chinese lesson as he said. He has a little Taiwanese “good friend” (same age) who visits HK 2-3 times a year. However, he is the target for practicing Cantonese for his little friend on the contrary .......so we just forget this way of practising. :chair: :chair: :chair: We sometimes play Mandarin CD songs (bought from his K-school before) at home and he loves them. It also helps his listening, I think. For English, he has joined the playgroup / phonic class for over 2 years. But his English is still far from satisfactory from my point of view. Anyway, through those classes, he does not afraid of speaking English. Thus, we hope that his English would be better in future. :-| :-| :-| We did not read books (Chinese or English) to him regularly/ frequently now after moving to P-school though we understand that that it would benefit him a lot. But it seems that there would not be enough time for him to sleep if we insist the readings everyday as he demands some playing time every night. :giveup: :giveup: :giveup: I see your methods for learning Mandarin and English for your son. They are really great. I like your Mandarin story-telling and English speaking so much but unfortunately his parent’s Mandarin are no better than him and their English capability are limited.......so it is not be practical for our son's case....... :-( :-( :-( But I can see one very important thing for your methods to work is that your kid is highly independent as I could read from your previous messages. So, it could save a lot of time in chasing him for doing this or that........but it is not the case for our kid........ :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire: :giveup: :giveup: :giveup: |
