We're at UE Square now waiting for Kakak's class to finish. She won this voucher from ArtZone which entitled her to 3 free lessons. Initially, we thought of sending Adik for the classes but she made a lot of fuss during the first lesson that we decided to send the eagerly waiting Kakak (who knew that she would stand-in for Adik if Adik made a fuss!) instead! She thoroughly enjoyed the classes. Today is her last class...Let's see what she will come up with...
Adik had her first art class this morning at another place near our home and she enjoyed it but Ibu had to be her with all the way! She painted a decent looking rat since it's gonna be the Year of the Rat next week. She has a knack for colouring and painting and the teacher (Ms Shahira!!!), said that she colours well for someone her age. Let's hope she'll be more independent next lesson onwards...
I went for a preview on a Math class for Kakak this morning at 0945hrs. The concept, structure and process of the class was explained to us parents (there were only 2 of us by the way!). They follow quite closely the curriculum by MOE. My word, I didn't know that Primary 1 syllabus was like THAT! Kakak has to go through a diagnostic test to detemine her level before she starts lessons. Lessons are held individually although it's a classroom setting. There's hands-on (I think in teacher-speak it's called 'manipulatives'!) as well as exercises to go through. Let's hope she enjoys her lessons because having a strong foundation IS important in any field...
We are slowly but surely preparing Kakak and OURSELVES mentally and physically for Primary 1 next year. We have been trying to improve her Malay and she has been responding quite well but we feel that more could be done. We were looking up ACTphabets as they have Malay Speech and Drama but alas...they have since closed down! Our search continues...
