Ian's Enrichment Classes

After 3 terms at Tien Hsia, we had decided to call it a day for the time being as he dreaded going to the class.  Another reason was that we had a hard time teaching him arithmetic, and felt that it was time to start him on the abacus class.

He took an assessment test with CMA in June, and the teacher allowed him to skip the Kindy class and join the Kinder class right away.  He attended the first lesson today, and we brought home 2 workbooks that I had to remind myself to go through with him on a daily basis.  Hopefully, he would not start to dread this class as well.

He would also be starting the 4th term of the intermediate phonics class next week, and he was still enjoying the lessons very much.

The other enrichment class that he was still attending was the piano course, which he also enjoyed.  It was not easy at the beginning to get him to read the notes, but at least there was some progress now.  He still did not play by reading the scores on his own, but at least he could remember how to play the song after a few practices.

Holiday Art Class - Romero Britto

Ian attended a canvas painting workshop again this September holiday, at Wowart Studio.  I stayed back a while this time round and discovered that the teacher had to help him quite a bit.

Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable process for him.
