Flyer Result - so happy!

Good news just to share ...... I just got the Flyer result for my daughter.  She got 13 shields!  (She was in K2,  5 years 3 months old when taking the exam.  I just let her try to test her level.  I am really glad with her result!)  Hope this can help in her primary school application ..........

Thanks.

Actually, there is no special secret.  I downloaded the sample paper for Flyer for her to try some months ago, and found that she knew around 80% of it.  So I enrolled the exam for her to try.  She did not attend any training course.  I just bought a couple of past paper for her to practise before the exam.

But my daughter likes reading very very much.  I think she learns a lot of vocab and grammar via reading.

She lost 2 shields in listening.  She said she could hear the answers, but could not write fast enough.  I think this is a physical limitation.  After all, she cannot write very fast in her age.

congrat...The spelling technique is already a hurdle to many immature students like my daughter. I wonder you are targeting elite schools for P1 admission.....

Thanks again.

I think all parents in BK here care about the education of their kids and all wish that their kids can go to a good primary school.  I also hope that my daughter can be admitted to a good school that fits her.

But frankly, I am not quite sure how much the Flyer result can help.  Most schools decide based on interview performance rather than academic achievements ........

So good and has she taken starter or mover exam?

And also does she take in any pubic competition like piano, poem, mandarin, speech etc?

Thanks tsewangok.

Yes, my daughter likes writing too.  She started writing her diary some months ago - just a few sentences describing what she did and her feeling on that day.  But it is a long way to go before she can really write a book, ha ha.

She took Starter with 15 shields in April, but did not take the Mover.

We have not enrolled her for any speech / poem competition because frankly we think that most competitions are organised by some training institutions and we don't want her to take those training courses solely for winning an award in a competition.

She has taken some Trinity exams, but again, we did not let her take any preparatory course.  We think she'd better use her time to learn something she does not know, e.g. swimming, piano, ballet, etc. rather than training course for an exam.

She is definitely gifted.  Well done.

個女咁叻，相信父母功勞也不小，恭喜哂！

Thank you very much for all your compliment.

Frankly, we dare not say that we as parents have lots of contributions.  In fact, every kid has his or her strength, and we thank God for giving our daughter strength in some areas.

Actually, we are not trying to push her to be smarter (we don't want to be "tiger parents").  We are in fact trying our best to give her the necessary support (not too much, not too less) so that she can grow and develop according to her own pace and inclination.   We hope she can continue to enjoy learning and can face the inevitable competition with a relaxed mindset after she grows up ..............

Hope we are doing the right things.

Hello ! I checked with Brithish Council about the Flyer Exam information, as I want to apply the same exam but they said the Flyer Exam is for the children age between 9-12.
So, can you tell me what centre your daughter exam ?
Thank you !

gifthoney

The age 9 - 12 is only a suggestion by British Council.  If the kids have reached 5 years old, they can join any level of Cambridge Exam.  My daughter enrolled via British Council.  She did not enrol via any other centre nor take any course from any centre.

gifthoney,

Congratulations! I read the Trinity threads from you before as well!

I also agree with your approach on how to develop your daughter....  

I think the exam reflects the efforts you/ daughter have been spent in the past.

Congratulations!
