Due to the Swine Flu, all the orientation activities have been cancelled.  What the parents did on 9/5/09 was go straight to the designated classroom to do the registration, i.e to submit the health record, the autopay form, the kid's photos and pay the school fee.  It took us less than 2 minutes and then could leave.  So, you have not missed anything as you need to do the same registration for your kid later if you accept the offer.

Me too, uptill now I can't find any of my kid's classmate will go to K1C.  But it's OK lah, children will familiar with each other very quick.  Nice to meet you here, Speedbox.

Chens, good job in organising the list.

GIPW, 好寶寶獎?  What's its translation to English.  My girl also has a trophy, if only 10 kids in a class can get it, I can't believe my girl can have one woh.  I thought every kid can have a trophy for memory in the form of various prize names.

bb86  congratulation

If things have not been changed, there are 10 好寶寶獎 from each class.

Sorb

It is a transparent trophy with something written on it like "Amazing Child".  To me, every child is amazing and is a gift to all of us, so, I think every child will have a trophy simliar to this if without a trophy like Most Oustanding Award (name created by me).

I can't remember the translation to english, but what's your daughter trophy look like?

Sorb

Chens, so, your girl has the 'THE OUTSTANDING STUDENT AWARD' or the "Amazing Award"?  Actually, it is not surprising to me that your girl gets 'THE OUTSTANDING STUDENT AWARD'.  She has been such a smart girl.

My niece also transferred to KCS in K1 from another pre-nursery 3 years ago.  She had no previous Mandarine exposure like your kid and she did not have any adaption problem.  Children can master a language very quick, no worry as GIPW has said.

For your information, there are only 5 PN classes in KCS, but expands to 11 classes in K1, so, there are many many children transferred from outside.

Don't be so worried.  They can adapt very fast.  If your son feel discourage at first, give him more support and encouragement.  Listen well to the CD given by the school, could start with the song. ...

Agree, quality is really bad. My kid's s PN schoolbag already torn (爛) in the middle of the term and I have been forced to buy a second one already. Luckily, the schoolbag's price is not expensive. I still have not bought the one for KG, not sure if the tuckshop will be open during summer vacation.

冬季校褸...唔暖又硬......怎止呀!我買的第一件的顏色重勁脫色添呀(I bought from outside supplier),穿了一天即掉了,forced to buy another 唔暖又硬但不脫色的盔夾from another supplier......the quality is still so worst that I do not want to put on my body......so, same as you, seldom let my kid wears loh........I think KG is stricter.......may not good to wear own jacket.

Any parents can suggest me to buy a jacket of better quality for winter?  I don't mind paying more expensive price for something better.

Class for the 1st 4 days are with one hour duration only. 1st 2 days with adult's accompany.

Other than buying the books and the uniforms for school.  I think we may need to let them psychologically prepared to be back to school after this long holiday.  I have just started to tell my kid that her holiday is going to be over and she will be back to school soon.  She is excited when hearing that she will be back to school soon but upsetted to hear that the teachers and the classmates will be different. Another thing is we may need to begin to adjust the get up time of them.  My kid still wakes up at around 10:30am-11:00am, which is quite difficult to adjust when school begins......a headache now.

Sorb

Chens, I dare not let my girl to 打流感針 as she was tested allergic to 蛋白 when she was just a few months old....now, she can eat egg ( I mean also the white part), but I still dare not let her inject this vaccine as I think injecting some protein into the blood is different from eating.

帶口罩? - no lah, I don't think the children will wear it throughout the class.  I think you only have a choice between letting her go to school or NO only.

Article to share...sorry, very long:
【明報專訊】8月中開始，各間幼稚園陸續開學。孩子第一次揹起書包上學去，爸媽當然充滿興奮和期待，然而，對初次接觸校園生活的小朋友來說，就難以如父母般高興。在他們眼中，離開親密的家人，獨自面對陌生的教師和同學，並不容易。不想孩子天天上學以淚洗面，開學前，家長要做足準備，慎防孩子患上「K1恐懼症    」。

在幼稚園開課的第一天，站在校門前，不難聽到小朋友的哭叫聲。初次上學的孩子，平均只有兩三歲，面對完全陌生的環境，加上可能是首次跟父母「別離」，難免會因適應問題而哭個不停。

別說「不要怕」

聖公會幼稚園校長梁玉心表示，開學時，常見有小朋友扯著父母衣衫不放，即使是性格十分活潑開朗的孩子，也可能出現這種行為。對此情况，她認為父母要以平常心面對，否則會愈弄愈糟。「上學是孩子的必經階段，如果父母過分緊張，經常向他們提著上學時要怎樣怎樣，要乖要聽話等，反而會為孩子帶來壓迫感，應讓孩子感到上學是一件很自然的事，不用時刻提醒他們『不要怕』。」

莫談交換條件

她建議，開學後，父母盡量把孩子的生活維持在常規狀態，這有助孩子適應。「在開學的日子，父母不用刻意請假陪伴，因為若父母平日根本不會特地請假陪伴孩子，他們會更加捨不得離開父母，或以為父母要帶他們上街，但原來他們要上學，因而不開心。父母可在晚上減少外出應酬，多留在家中，讓孩子知道回家後便可看到爸媽，明白上學後，生活跟從前並沒有太大改變。」

很多家長每當送孩子上學，準備離開時，一看見孩子哭，便會留下來跟他們「談判」，提出交換條件。梁玉心說﹕「若孩子哭鬧時，父母開出條件來哄他們，會令他們覺得下次可繼續以哭鬧換取父母開條件，這種利誘方式應盡量避免。另外，父母緊記在離開前跟孩子道別，千萬不要不辭而別，並要告訴他們放學時會馬上接他回家，當然，爸媽要準時前來接放學，以免他們感到不安。」

她亦請家長不用過分擔心孩子不停哭鬧，影響他們的學習情緒。「有些孩子雖然一邊在哭，但他們仍會跟隨教師的指示做事，或者聽教師和同學說故事和唱歌。一般K1的教師會預備很多道具，例如布偶、故事書和小吃等，吸引孩子的注意力，只要孩子一分心，便會忘記哭鬧，慢慢投入其他同學之中。」

第三天才哭鬧

首次上學的幼兒因緊張或驚慌而哭泣，邁步兒童發展中心註冊臨床心理學朱嘉麗表示，這是十分正常的事。「就算小朋友以前有上playgroup，也未必能立即適應幼稚園的生活，因為playgroup多數會讓父母跟孩子一同到課室上課，但K1卻不可以，令他們覺得幼稚園這個地方跟自己認識的環境很不同，很不習慣。」

未能適應這個新學習環境，小朋友最常見的反應是哭鬧，有些上學兩三天後情况漸改善，有些孩子在頭一兩天上學並無異樣，可是突然在第三天上課時哭鬧。朱嘉麗說，這情形可能是因為小朋友之前一直忍耐著，但後來卻忍受不了，以哭泣來表達他們的不開心和焦慮。

不過，若孩子上學已有一個月，仍出現哭鬧或其他問題時，家長便要了解一下原因。「孩子除了因為跟父母分離焦慮而出現一些情緒問題，也有一些語言表達能力稍差的孩子，上學時感到緊張卻未能表達，導致他更加緊張；也有一些本身有社交溝通問題，因為未曾試過密集地上學，父母之前未曾察覺得到，在正式上學時便表現出來。」

預習上學情况

要減輕孩子初次上學時出現的焦慮和適應新環境的不安，家長可參考朱嘉麗提供的幾種做法：

1. 在知道孩子將要上哪間幼稚園後，早點帶他到訪或到附近看看，讓孩子適應新環境。

2. 教導孩子自理技巧，例如自行上洗手間、抹嘴、拿杯子喝水等，甚至預習點名舉手，讓他獨個兒在學校要處理這些事情時，不會因不懂得而緊張。

3. 以圖書或布偶等道具，教孩子上學時會遇到的情况，例如要說﹕「老師早晨！」「我要上洗手間」等，讓他們真正有需要時，懂得如何放膽說。

4. 在開學前三四個星期，調節好孩子的作息時間，令他們習慣早睡早起，適應學校的生活。

5. 向孩子介紹上學用品，例如「這是你的書包、校服」，讓他們有心理準備上學去。

Mine still wakes up at 10:30am today ah, I have asked my maid to try to adjust my girl's wake up time half hour each day earlier starting from tomorrow..........hope it works....though I have no confidence : )

Now they wake up at 9-10am, just afraid how they could wake up on that day.  Well hope you meet you guys on 1st Sep.

Sorb

穿白色褲仔啦, can keep warm also........as the classroom has air-conditioner on.

Sorb

My understanding is the 1st 2 days can have adult accompanion. Not the 1st 3 days woh.

Sorb

One more point, 1st 4 days, class is just 1 hour duration.  Normal class (i.e. 3 hours per day) starts next Monday, not this Friday.  You may have misunderstood.

Sorb

GIPW, I will go with my girl on the 1st day only, so, not be able to meet you this time lah.  It seems you have not checked your e-mail account for quite a while woh.

Nice to have you in the same class.  I will only be there on the 2nd day and my husband will be there on the 1st day.  My son name is Wing Hin.  Ms Luk is quite a nice teacher.  She was my daughter' ...

Sorb

GIPW, if you live in Foretress Hill region, why not let your son walk to school with your helper, it is a good exercise for him. I think I can lose lots of my weight if I have time to do this every day : )  Whenever  I have a look at the slope, I have the feeling of 望而生畏 ah with the high heel shoe to walk......but actually, my helper and my girl both do not lose any weight after walking up every day woh.......

Sorb

Tata 1668, whenever you have questions, just phone the teacher's mobile to ask (it is stated at the back of your child's handbook)........I did call the PN teacher (responsible for my girl's table) whenever I had questions.  Most of the teachers in KCS are nice, no worry ga......they welcome question, this is why they have stated their mobile on the handbook mah.

Chens, over over, 錄CD那位KG 老師未必是你個女那班的老師woh.....
