Hi Year 1 parents,

Can I ask some questions about Year 1 at SJS?

- Do students use textbooks?

- When does school start and finish?

- Do the students need to do writing? Do you think they need to learn writing before they start Year 1? (No writing/ use of pens to be taught at ESF Kindergarten)

- Does SJS have the class streaming policy?

- Can you advise me on how to get my son be better prepared for going to Year 1 in the coming August?

Thank you very much for your advice and sharing.

Read more books, practise fine motor skills, e.g. cutting, tie own shoe laces, learn how to get change by himself, eat by himself. No need to push your kid too hard. S/he will have the first month to get use to the routine.

Re: About Year 1 (Shatin Junior School)

My daughter is in P1 of SJS, before she started her P1 last Sept, she cannot yet write numbers, no to mention alphabets and she cannot yet recognise all numbers (mixing up 6 and 9, ...) not to mention recognising words.

but so far she's ok, i bet she's not the top of the class or may be even those that are slow, but she can learn happily and i did appreciate the big progress she has made so far.

she know the "days" (they have a 6-day cycle and Day 1 is PE, Day 3 is library ...) and can prepare her  school bag properly;
she knows "add" and "take away" though slow (remember she not yet recognise numbers and didn't even understand 8 is bigger than 6 in reception)
she can read - amazing right!? but of course not many words.

she can write - aha! but alphabets are ugly and spacing is awful, but at least she will do it!

so relax, if you choose international school, let them develop at their own speed, no hurry no rush, SJS is a really good school with great teachers.

I did know some SJS parents arranging Kumon classes, tutorials for their kids but personally i didn't buy the idea.  But u know kids are quite adaptive and flexible, so feel free to do u as well if u so desire.
