真是不好意思,我寫不清楚令你唔明白這條中文題目.老師紙上有兩個答案(a)一, (b)1請指出那個是中国數目字'一'?
至於數学題試过出8+5=?

thanks 寶貝女! 我想仔仔一定識答! 要不要講故事給老師聽? 我帶仔仔去了三間面試, 都要看圖講故事, 真慘! 開中了仔仔最弱的一樣, 已被2間out了!

其實個個幼稚園升小一有边個係唔辛苦架! 讀幼稚園又無默書又無測驗,依家,唉!好似上星期咁星期一測數学星期三默中文星期四Oral Assessment星期五英文Quiz,小朋友边度識得緊張呀?咪剩係得我緊張囉同勞氣. 其實返咗個幾月功課絕对唔多,不過要做常識科同聽音乐會做報告.而且只係頭兩星期舒服,跟住就隔日整單你嘆,做家長都咪話唔攰 不過我唸間間都係咁.至於課程並無想像中咁深係英文串字比較多如果小朋友唔識得睇題目都幾慘.

講漏咗我班有二十個係KV仔.

什麼是kv仔? 聽落宣小家長都不易做。
我想仔仔會喜歡學習的, 默書串字計數難他不倒, 只是表達稍弱, 可能是細仔, 又係男係, 始終語言表達都慢一些。 現在小一的面試制度十分不利於我仔仔。無辦法, 好在仍有一個月多少少的時間, 要加緊操fit他了。

I am required to submit my son's application on 27/10.  But I'm thinking if I shall apply.  My son hasn't learnt any musical instruments before and I suspect he does not fancy any musical instruments at all.  Does APS take this kind of students?  Does APS force students to learn musical instruments?

Further, in "全校參與照顧學生個別差異" section of APS's School Profile obtained from HKEdCity, it is stated that '本校較少學習差異學生。'  To me, it's just a nice way to say, 'We use the same measure to teach every student, smart or stupid.  If your child is not able to catch up, too bad!'  Is it true?

宣小面試唔考音樂。會音樂無著數，而唔識音樂完全唔係問題。

反而係家長要想想那樣你為甚應要選宣小。所有小一的學生都會被分配學一種管弦樂器。如果學生不學樂器，可以在小二開始選擇以唱歌去應考學校的音樂科考試。

可以這樣說，在小一至小四，宣小沒有把學生分成smart 或 stupid 去教不同的課程，亦沒有精英班。到小五，學生上中英數主科時，每科都會按能力分成四組上課，而最弱的4A、4B組會係小班教學。這使最弱的一組學生日後也有能力適應(英文)中學的課程。

囡囡由小一，讀至現在小五。在這四年裡，囡囡讀的班別的留班人數由0至3名。不知這算不算是你所說的「not able to catch up」。希望可以解答到你的問題。

這星期是宣小測驗週,家長們較忙,讓我試答.

小女讀宣小前也是沒有學任何樂器,相信是極小數,大部份同學都有學琴的,因而學樂器時比人慢,又不會樂理,引至學到哭來.
現在,她已接受了音樂,還主動說要學琴.

假設最差的結果,不想學樂器,我相信只考唱歌會令音樂分低一點,沒有實則影嚮.


但要指出一點,宣小一班有四十二人,老師可分配給小朋友的時間一定比一般二十五人的津校少.

kls12 and ChiChiPaPa, thanks very much for both of your valuable advice.

I pick APS because it's real Christian school with a mission to preach the Gospel to its students and teach students to become a good person caring every person around them, not just someone who can become a rocket scientistic but don't give a shit to anything except himself.  This is my number one criterion for my son's education.  

I heard that there's a very very top "Christian"girl school.  It allows students to take leave to carry out piano examinations but when a student who wished to take just one day leave to go to China to help the poor and preach the Gospel to them.  The school did not allow and the pricnicle said if she and/or her parents insist, the girl would be 記大過.  In the eyes of this school, taking piano exam and winning music competitions is more important that helping people in need!  Shame on it!

As per you both's advice, I believe APS is really a very caring school but the fac that each class consist of more than 40 students really turns me off.  

My son has already been admitted by Gigamind.  Each class has 15 students only!  But the school is very small and the environment is not as religious as APS although its principle gave me an impression that he loves kids and is very kind.

宣小的測驗周測些什麼? 例如小一? 有多少科? 家長要怎樣同小朋友準備? 要花大約多少時間? 可以分享一下嗎?

以我女兒為例,42人一班是沒有問題,非常高興上學,有很多的發揮機會,我最想女兒參加的,是辯論隊隊員.

除了拔萃外,宣小是九龍區其中一間成績最的基督教小學,所以吸引了不少基督徒就讀,是否合適你,就要了解多一點了.

From my experience, APS really care teach students to become a good person caring every person around them.  They have a moral lesson every cycle based on their daily life learning. This week they showed the TV series  to the class and taught them the right value.  For the students number, it is really big.  It will be absolutely great if with less students but the teachers could handle them well as most of the students are well-behaved.  If the no. decrease, the students admitted will be cut down and the tuition will be increased.  

I came across BK with other Topics on class size.  I was suprised to hear a research saying bigger class size increase social interaction and other benefits.  See if I will be able to find that article.

Anyway, I found that even with such a big class, my daughters has no problems socially and academically.  The teachers and staff are all caring.

According to agnesyingying from BK other topics

大班分組勝小班教學


【明報專訊】本港小學下學年正式推行小班教學，但英國學者則認為小班教學成效不及大班分組教學。
專門研究小班教學的英國倫敦大學教授Blatchford（左圖）表示，小班雖然能夠減低師生比例，幫助學生吸收知識，但分組教學能加強學生的溝通和組織能力，更容易啟發學生。
Blatchford昨出席教育學院的「小學教育．你我關切」講座，向全港百多名學界代表講解與小班相關的研究。Blatchford於01至04年與英國劍橋大學及布萊頓大學合作，研究英國4250名5至14歲的學生，結果顯示小組活動能強化學生思考，學習投入程度亦較一般教學方法的成效增加一倍。

明年政府將在三分之二的官津小學推行小班教學，但多數一線名校都不推行小班，為甚麼呢？它們都是官津學校，所以學費不是考慮的因素。對課外活動的發展所帶來的壞影響是其中一個考慮。

課外活動大致可以分為兩類。第一種是就算沒有學校的安排，家長也很容易自行安排的。這些主要是個人的活動，例如學琴、游泳、打乒乓波、打羽毛球……等等，這類活動不會受大班或小班所影響。第二類是團體活動，沒有學校的安排，家長較難自行安排，這包括管弦樂團、足球隊、手球隊、籃球隊、排球隊……這類活動就受到學生人數的影響。如果沒有足夠學生人數，就難以組織各類的樂團，以及各種的球隊，讓孩子們參與。孩子在團體課外活動的選擇就自然少了。

其實要說大班、小班的好處，就像討論母語教學和英語教學，說上半天，也可以說不完。母語教學和小班都在理論上是無敵的，但實行起上來，很多時就是另外一回事。

nabi and kls12, I'm very grateful that we have this Edu-Kingdom platform to have you share your experience with me.  

Would you let me know how the students are taught in group?  ChiChiPaPa said grouping is available from P.4 onward only, isn't it?

Here's the link to the Professor Peter Blatchford's book "The Class Size Debate: Is Small Better?" http://books.google.com.hk/books ... mp;ct=result#PPA144,M1 and a shorter alternative: http://www.classsizeresearch.org.uk/cs%20psychology.pdf

謝謝你寶貝女, 聽起來英文測驗好似真的難了一點, 你的孩子溫書是否吃力? 宣小會給壓力那些成績不好的學生嗎? 例如:逼家長帶小朋友去補習、留班人數多不多? 老師說話很難聽等等?

很高興在這裡也看到關於大、小班教學的問題, 那些研究我也是第一次聽的。我也同意大、小班各有優劣, 但大班制度的先決條件是良好的課堂秩序, 否則理想是空談的。課堂秩序對宣小應該沒有問題, 但老師會否採用小組教學模式? 哪個年級開始呢?

小一英文測驗真係唔算深。

宣小的畢業生大部分可以升讀英文中學，代表宣小學生的英語能力比得上英文小學的學生，甚至比他們更好。英文科方面有一定的要求是正常的。

但是比英文小學的學生好是否已經足夠呢？不要忘記，比起國際學校的英文水平還是有距離。如果要再向前走一步，那樣學校、家長和孩子的努力都是少不了的。

語文能力包括聽說讀寫，而閱讀能力和興趣是十分重要的。要有優良的英語閱讀能力，並不是要學很多很深的英文文法，也不是要學高一年級的課程，而是要在小學時期盡快建立足夠英文字彙。當孩子懂得足夠的英語詞彙，英語閱讀（包括小說、新聞……fiction and non-fiction等）就會變得有樂趣，不再感到困難。雖然宣小的英語課程會教很多的英文生字，但是這其實依然是不足夠的。我覺得要孩子英語能力好，我們家長還是要協助孩子認識更多英文字彙，並建立英語閱讀的習慣。

A few days ago when I submitted the application form at APS, I didn't see any playground or sports facilities.  Is there any indoor/outdoor playground inside the school?  If no, what did the children do at the recess?
