Lastest News Received: P3 Class Allocation Will be posted on this Blog on Thursday, 26 November 2009 =)

P3 Classes for Next Year Will Be Out Next Monday

Dear Parents,

I am so sorry to inform you that we have to postpone the
annoucing of the Children's P3 Classes for next year. This
is due to a need for further checking and re-confirmation.

Once the results are released next Monday, I will post it
out on this Blog as soon as I get news of it. :)

Best regards,

A Few More Matters to Note for Year-End

Dear Parents,

1) After the second round of meeting, we have finally churned out
the Children's next year P3 classes. Though, we still have to wait
for the higher authorities to confirm and finalise all things, before
we are allowed to disclose and announce the news. Therefore, I will
post their P3 classes tomorrow, once I receive the updated news.

2) The Book List for P3 next year has been given to the Children
last week. Should your Child need another copy(either mis-placed
or torn or...), please proceed to the General Office to get a new copy.

3) A Chinese Pictorial Book has been given out to all the Children
yesterday, one copy per Child. This is actually paid for by the Parents,
in the beginning of the year, when you handed in the lump sum of
payment to the school for the whole year's enrichment programmes.

Should you have any other queries, please feel free to contact me.
My school email remains the same at ng_ju_sze@nyps.edu.sg

That's all from me for now. Have a wonderful and blessed evening! =)

Cheers!

Things to Note Before End of School Year

Dear Parents and Children,

1) P3 Class Allocation Next Year

We are all very anxious to know which classes the Children will
be posted to for next year. =)

However, after 1.5hours of meeting yesterday, we still have yet
to come to a finalisation of the Class Allocation Exercise. =(

Therefore, tomorrow afternoon the Teachers will be having a
second meeting for this Exercise. After the Class Allocation is
finalised, I will post it on the Class Blog and also contact you via
phone calls (or emails if you are overseas) by the end of this
week. =)

2) Calligraphy Bags

Please do not throw away your Calligraphy Bags, as for P3 Term 1
next year, all Children will be having Calligraphy lessons. =)

That's all from me for now. Will update you with any further
information once I receive them.

Cheers!
Ms Ng =)

早报文章分享 - 刘太格

小依：
　　刘太格是国际知名城市规划师，被中国传媒誉为“新加坡规划之父”， 是新加坡之宝。
　　两年前在一个场合他和我谈起进军中东之举，我说，好，我们来谈。 城市规划从来不是我的采访范围，我却和他订了再访之约。因为工作的性质不同，我们就像两条平行线，根本无从交集。这个再访之约，只能是个“美谈”。
　　不料，今年9月，当我去沙地阿拉伯采访阿卜杜拉国王科技大学开幕， 竟然就在三千宾客出席的晚宴上碰到他。这回，当然绝不轻易放过他了。
　　他在第二天沙大国际研讨会茶点空档时间，跟我详细谈了“规划师眼里的沙大”，让我回来写了一篇《沙地国王以黄金堆砌沙大》的文章。后来，他又接受我另一项采访谈双语教育。
　　他说：“父亲（画家刘抗）、母亲（陈人滨）和舅舅（陈人浩，德明政府中学前校长）的指导，给了我丰厚文化底蕴，让我后来到中国工作，和中国合作者‘零距离’。古今中外，我可以无所不谈。他们要我题字，也行。我是从小每天练大小楷长大的。”
　　他曾在中国扬州接受记者采访说：“三年前我来过扬州。扬州的城、扬州的水、扬州的‘一颦一笑’深深镌刻在我的记忆中。”采访结束前，他还欣然题字“扬州是我终身的恋人”，让扬州记者永远忘不了这位国际知名规划师的似水柔情。
　　刘太格说，来自中国的课本，从小培育了他牺牲小我，完成大我，为社会贡献力量的精神。课本里的英雄如文天祥、岳飞，给了他很大的启发，也给了他人生的目标。因此，他从小就勤奋学习英文，为的是到西方求学取经，回来“改变贫穷落后的新加坡的面貌”。后来，他在澳洲新南威尔斯大学和美国耶鲁大学读书，他的英文水平一直比当地学生还好。
谈到双语教育，他说，为了让孩子掌握好双语，他决定与美国籍的妻子分工，从孩子出生那天开始，妻子只和孩子说英语，他只和孩子说华语，而且绝不两语参杂。
　　他说：“我们家这项双语教育彻底的地步到了儿子七岁那年有一天问我：‘爸爸，你会说英语吗？’即便听我跟他母亲用英语对话，也不干扰他认为‘父亲是华语人’的意识。我告诉他：‘爸爸可以说一点英语。’”
　　因为他在家时间少，孩子的华语显然不及英语好。女儿和他讲华语，经常有找不到适当词汇，被迫用英语来取代的窘状。这个时候，他会问女儿：“你说什么，我听不懂？”女儿尝试多方解释，还表达不出来的时候，他会说：“你是这个意思吗？”这样一来，女儿的华语词汇就增加了，就丰富了。
　　刘太格说：“两个孩子现在在美国，儿子已经工作，女儿还在读大学。他们跟我联系，无论是讲电话、写电邮，都只用华语、华文，这是让我最高兴的。”
　　他对现在新加坡学校教华文，只落在作为“工具”的层面，感到忧心。他说：“语言和文化分不开，一个华语好的人必须要有深厚的文化作基石，才能言之有物。语言表达能力不好，无法表达内心深沉细腻的感受，是痛苦的，也是一种损失。”
　　壮哉斯言！不是吗？
