Hi Germs,
My son started on Math & chinese for one & half year first before we add on English.
Yup, his time schedule is very tight right now as he has many classes daily.
He has short breaks in between his work sheets.
We allow him to cycle for ten or 15 mins in between. Or we will just tell him that he has to complete all his worksheets if he wants to attend his favorite judo class.
By the way , his math is not so advance. He is only at addition & subtraction level. Sometime he seems to be able to do it really fast but sometime he seems very confuse. He will just look at me & told me he had already forgotten what is 25 -5 or etc...
Chinese & english are fine as we started daily reading to him 2 years ago.Read about 8 books to him everyday.Ha ha.. also forced my husband to read before my son sleeps at 7.30pm. So i can take a break.
He is quite a active kid but he seems to enjoy completing the worksheet. I guess it is a chanllange for him sometime. By the way, in order to save more play time for him, we hardly bring him to the center nowadays, we collect worksheets by the week. He will just go there & do his correction. He will only visit the center if the teacher wants to test him.
Basically, by next year when he reaches primary school, i doubt he will be able to take 3 subjects. He should be in morning school in Primary one. So he will only have about 4 hours a day between Monday to Friday before he sleeps at 7.30pm.
Han Yu Pin Yin- Yup, according to my mum who is a chinese teacher , Han yu pin yin is very important. She told me that most of the children from Primary one are struggling with pin yin.
She has to cover the syllybus withtin a certain time . For those weaker student, they have to stay back once a week for revision class. She was the one who taught my son pin yin since he was in k1. My pin yin not very strong as my mum didn't teach me during my childhood time... ha ha.. She left it to the teacher to teach me.
Hope my info helps.
