After the Teacher / Parent Meeting Session, we realised that our Babe is relatively weak in her Chinese, especially Hanyu Pinyin. We had totally not exposed her to Mandarin at all, other than those lessons in Nursery and Kindergarten.....
And words of advice from her Chinese Teacher was..... "please communicate with her more in Mandarin".... We felt guilty, as we were partly responsible, as we always felt Chinese wasn't so important, especially if she may not be doing her Secondary School education in Singapore.... But again, she's still got 6 more years to go before PSLE, and we didn't want her to suffer and feel demoralised and handicapped because of her Mandarin.....
So, without much hesitation and after having done our surveys, we decided to enrol her for Chinese Enrichment class .... Let's hope we will see improvements in her Mandarin. Will update my blog on this a few months later.....
