Pic - Tasha’s homework ...
It’s important for our kids to be fluent in Mandarin hoping they will have an advantage later on in life - hence the reason I send Bella & Tasha to a SJKC .
The Education System , the Discipline, the teachers - all are amazing .
But lots of sacrifices are needed upon sending them to a Chinese School .
1. All homework are in Mandarin .
Parents need to spend a lot of time on their homework. We use translation Apps to understand and teach them . It’s like the blind teaching the blind . - Haha
And it gets tougher from Primary 2 onwards which I couldn’t cope . We had to call a personal tutor for Bella 3x a week at home .
Already plan for Tasha for Mandarin tuition as she is at a Kindergarten SJKC at the moment ....
2. Halal Food
There is a section part of Halal Food at the School Canteen but we prefer to bring home-cooked meals for the kids . It’s safer and healthier too .
It’s a struggle in the beginning but things are getting better . Bella has shown tremendous improvement speaking and writing in Mandarin which makes me proud with tears ... Finally all the struggles are totally worth it .
Tasha is still in the early stage still speaking English with his friends ... but her writing has improved . She does speak Mandarin bit here and there ...
To parents who wish to send their child to a SJKC - prepare yourself with lots of commitment to your child Schoolwork .
It’s an advantage to enrol them in a Chinese Kindergarten . Don’t expect the kids to speak or write Mandarin so soon . Usually they improve with time ... can be seen when they enter Standard Two or Three ...
It’s totally worth it ...
Soon Adam & Noah will follow suit just like their sisters - InsyaAllah .
Just sharing .
Love As Always ...
PS - I have no idea what Tasha’s homework was . I’d normally ask Bella to translate - Haha . 😀
