All About Your Child

During the term 1 Teachers-Parents meeting, the Chinese Teacher promoted this Hanyu Pinyin website to us. I believe this site is promoted in ALL Primary and Secondary Schools.

So for those of you who have kids in Kindergarten, and would like to give your child a head-start, you might want to try this out.

***Which has now changed to http://xuele.moe.edu.sg/

The kid is suppose to try to pronounce the word first and check his pronunciation by clicking on the word on the screen. Games are also available to promote interest in the subject. But from the video, you can tell that Keatkeat was ‘not‘ following the rules… *eyes rolled*

Oh well, so long as his interest in Hanyu Pinyin is still there (just look at his reaction in the end), I am happy.

And my 4 year old Binbin is getting great satisfaction from getting the answers correct. Love that Big Smile at the end.

Today, Keatkeat is having his Chinese Test and Maths Test. Yes, you heard me right. The teachers REFUSED to change the dates. *eyes rolled* Read this post and this post to know the complete story.

After giving some mock tests at home, I would NOT be surprise if Keatkeat fails his Chinese Test. *giggle* Well, let’s see if he is in guessing luck today then… *laugh*

The school had a term 1 Meet-The-Parents session today. What perfect timing isn’t? Read my post yesterday?

Yup! I just had to ask, “Is there any form of communication between teachers teaching different subjects?”

Miss N. (Keatkeat’s Chinese Teacher) replied, “Yes.”

Me: “If yes, then may I know what is the reason for arranging Both Maths and Chinese tests on the same day?”

Miss N. “What? I did not know about that.”

In my head I was going, “Huh?! But you just said you guys communicate with each other and now you said you did not know?!”

Miss N. continued to explain, “We have a representative for each class to ‘coordinate’, to prevent such issues from happening. For Primary One students, we would not want to give them two tests on the same day. Let me feedback this…. This should not have happened.”

So it was the mistake of the representative which stressed us up. *eyes rolled* Now I am hoping for good news next week….. *fingers crossed*
