仁愛班 陳杏柔家長

媽咪:「我喜歡黃老師間學校,不想去Miss Vinci 哪間!」這是在我問柔柔,她想去哪兒上學時她這樣回答。

小孩子是最簡單直接,柔柔已經表現她很喜歡到信義中英文幼稚園上學了。 其實,在她回家後的表現也告訴我,她的校園生活是快樂的。她每天回家常常模仿老師的口吻,扮老師日常會和孩子做的事情,敬拜、貼貼紙、教小朋友玩遊戲、和唱遊等。她不時也分享在學校和其同學的情況。這是我希望我女兒能在成長時,能得到的,「享受學習生活」。當我看見她享受上學時,我發現她在很多方面在學習上也有很多的進步,例如,說話、塗鴉、手肌、自理、社交及認知等。她的進步我想原自於學校建立了一個安全感和環境讓柔柔學習,以正面積極鼓勵的方法,引導她長大。特別是老師對學生的愛和鼓勵,柔柔就是浸泡在這愛和鼓勵下,學習品德修養和發揮個人特質。感謝老師們看見柔柔獨特的地方,培育她成長,也關心她適應細佬們的來臨,對我和她特別的關懷,使我們一家享受滿足多兩個寶寶的來臨。感謝神讓柔柔在這滿有愛和關懷的學校成長。

仁愛班 周昊訢家長

往年,小兒昊昊在信義中英文幼稚園展開了寶貴又獨特的K1旅程。

9月1日開學日,因為新冠肺炎疫情,並沒有正式的開學禮,只能透過家中電腦進行網上學習。幸好,老師們熱情的帶動著網課的氣氛,再配合學校精心製作的教學短片,透過冷冰冰的電腦,昊昊出奇地投入及享受網課。

10月,疫情稍為緩和,同學們終於可以親身回校上課。對於慢熱的昊昊來說,與媽媽分離去上學,是一個痛苦的過程。起初,他嚷著不要上學,飲泣著拒絕參與課堂活動。漸漸地,在老師的循循善誘下,他停止哭垃,開始嘗試參與活動,與其他小朋友互動。現在,他喜歡上學,喜歡老師,認識到朋友仔。作為媽媽,感激老師們對昊昊的愛心及耐性,感恩神帶領我們選擇了這間學校。

今天,信義中英文幼稚園50週年校慶,在此謹祝學校生日快樂,祝願學校繼續帶領、陪伴小朋友成長!

喜樂班 林鈞朗家長

「我今日去咗二樓啊!」
「今日可以玩車車啊!」
「今日花園有隻螞蟻啊!老師叫我哋讓開,唔好傷害到佢……」
「我今日做港鐵啊!小朋友搭住我個膊頭做好長嘅列車啊!」
每天實在是很享受聽到兒子與我分享學校的點點滴滴,小朋友樂於提及學校的事,一定是很喜歡學校吧!

鈞朗是一位慢熱的小朋友,喜歡先觀察,後行動,而且面對不熟悉的人,談話總是細細聲的。因此,在為他選擇幼稚園時,會非常在意學校的老師有沒有愛心。就讀K1初期,會擔心他適應學校的生活嗎?會不會回答老師的問題?想上洗手間時會不會主動告訴老師?遇到困難時會不會找老師幫忙……在忙碌的工作中,總不忘會想想他在學校發生甚麼事,回家後總是忍不住追問他在學校過得怎樣。可能那時年紀還少吧,得到的答案,都是一些零碎的片段,幸好遇上細心的老師,在繁忙的工作下仍來電與我傾談,讓我了解多點兒子在校的適應情況。言談間,感覺到老師總是正面的,很有愛心的,很會鼓勵小朋友的,我的擔心總算減少了吧!後來還聽到老師說鈞朗會主動地舉手回答問題,又在班上做了小助手幫助同學,回家後又能說說他在學校的事,說出和哪些同學最老友,似乎他非常投入學校生活呢!心裏想:總算沒有為兒子選錯學校!

疫情期間,老師亦會來電問候,關心小朋友在停課期間家中的照顧及學習的情況,令我們感覺到學校的關愛。而學校亦會製作不同的教學短片讓小朋友在家中學習,在此不得不稱讚學校的安排,停課初期,很多幼稚園會為了應付家長的要求,進行實時網上課堂,試問三歲的小朋友怎能在螢幕前坐定定、專心地上課呢?小朋友吸收到多少呢?但信義會以小朋友為本,從小朋友的角度出發,每天發放教學短片,讓家長可以靈活安排時間學習,在家長的陪伴下觀看教學短片,不但可以從旁協助,有需要時還可重看,學習效能雖不及面授課堂的好,但總算比實時網課有效!而且要製作一段教學短片,花的心機和時間是比實時網課還要多,在此再次感謝學校的教職員團隊,你們的付出,家長和小朋友都深深感受到的!

說着說着,就說了這麼多,要分享學校的好,我想還可以再說下去,不過會嚇怕編輯和大家的,所以都是到此為止較好!最後,祝願信義校譽日隆、校務蒸蒸日上!

First of all, congratulations to NMS Lutheran Kindergarten’ 50th anniversary. We believe that it is really a great milestone to school. For our family, 2020/21 is an amazing and challenging year period. Our son, Dominic, has started his first year of kindergarten life. We still remember the first day he arrived the classroom of JOY. He cried so loud and made us from excitement to anxiety. The first thing that came into our mind was, “How long will Dominic get used to his K1 life?” Interestingly, after two days, Dominic happily chose his colorful uniform for school and walked into the classroom by himself. He always showed smile when we picked him up. He sang the songs learnt from school and shared with us his joyful conversation with teachers.

Throughout the pandemic year, we can feel the love, passion, support, and patience of all teachers and staffs in NMS Lutheran Kindergarten, especially Ms. Toby Tsui and Ms. Jess Leung (Class teachers of Joy). They not only teach students on academic knowledge but also inspire them with creative ideas as well as guide them with the right attitudes to difficulties. Every day, they shared with us of what Dominic behaved and his emotion in school. Through this treasurable and informative after-school conversation and experience sharing, we really learned how to handle the needs and the emotion of Dominic. We also learned how to build up self-confidence of Dominic. Now is almost the end of the school year, we found that Dominic has really improved obviously. He becomes more independent in daily life activities. He is also able to express and handle his emotion much better.

In fact, NMS Lutheran Kindergarten is very supportive and helpful to families like us since both of us are working parents. It is a great blessing that my son can study in NMS Lutheran Kindergarten, and we are very thankful to all in NMS Lutheran Kindergarten.

和平班 鄭灝舜家長

“仁愛與和平,主的恩典,溫柔和良善的果子……..” 這首歌,灝舜常常唱在口邊, 他第一次聽到這首歌時剛剛升上K2及正在停課, 他聽這首歌時便哭起來跟我說 :“媽咪,我好掛住學校”, 當時我好驚訝他有這種反應。
灝舜是個比較慢熱的小孩,K1上了上學期便停課了,然後升上K2,開學不久又要停課,停課期間只在家中看視訊上堂,當時我非常擔心,亦想像到他要用更長時間去重新適應學校生活。但當正式重返學校時,見他可以很快便投入學校生活,我真的很放心,現在他常常跟我分享學校,同學趣事及學到的東西,我感受到學校及老師付出了很多愛在小朋友身上,現在亦明白他當時為什麼聽到校歌會哭出來。
非常感恩我的孩子可以在這環境成長,今年9月便升上K3成為大哥哥了,希望他可以繼續開心投入地學習,亦能帶領弟弟持有同樣的態度。

和平班 蘇紀瑜家長

K2生活,紀瑜由不習慣變成每日放學都不願意回家。
紀瑜一知道K2可以復課,就開心不已,但回到學校,才發現班主任不同了,換上徐老師和梁老師、上課時多了一塊塊透明隔板、K1時的好朋友們亦分開了。
起初,紀瑜沒太主動提及校園生活,只是說「沒有小朋友同我玩呀」,對兩位班主任亦感到陌生,但後來跟班主任了解後原來是因為疫情,每個小朋友需要分隔及自己玩玩具。
「媽咪,你唔可以用咁多膠袋嫁,地球會生病嫁」、「黃鋁鑵,啡膠樽,藍廢紙,媽咪你知唔知係咩嚟嫁」原來這個月主題是環保,她會經常提醒我們注意環保,在學校學到的知識,會在家中實行,對於老師的教導,她總是銘記於心。
因為工作關係,我們向學校申請了延長放學時間,與班主任相處時間多了,亦增加了對學校的歸屬感。每日接放學時,紀瑜都要向各位老師道別才依依不捨離開,可想像到除了班主任,其他老師都對紀瑜的悉心照顧。
很感恩學校在K1面試時,給予機會,因在第一次面試時,紀瑜鬧情緒不肯進校門,因而錯過了面試,之後老師再打電話給我們會否想再一次進行面試。如果當時學校沒安排第二次機會,紀瑜便不能在一間充滿愛心的學校成長了。衷心感謝信義幼稚園葉校長、徐老師梁老師,還有各位曾照顧過紀瑜的老師及校工玲姐。

恩慈班 蕭美恩家長

大家好,我是恩慈班蕭美恩的家長,轉眼又一年了,在疫情下,生活和學習模式也慢慢轉變。這一年看到校方在新的學習模式上不斷進步,家長們也盡力配合在家充當助教,期待已久的復課,相信令大家也鬆一口氣。美恩一直很期待能再次回到學校與老師和同學見面,電腦始終沒有人的溫度,美恩很喜歡與人相處,感恩遇上這一所充滿溫暖、有愛心的學校,由校長到服務員,她們都能叫出每位同學的名字,由進校門到接放學,都能感受滿滿的愛。謝謝所有教職員的愛心,讓小孩能在愉快的環境下學習。

Our Happy days at NMS

My boy joined NMS Kindergarten in 2019. We originally had offers from other nearby kindergartens. But after hearing great reviews of NMS and going through the friendly interview process, we decided this is the school for our boy. And we are happy we made the right choice!Back then, my boy was very timid and had serious separation anxiety. We joined the transition class before K1 started. I remember vividly that he cried throughout the 9 classes out of the 10 classes. I was an anxious mom too. I waited outside during his transition classes.

During that time, I felt the genuine love and care from all teachers and staff in NMS. Teachers would brief me about my boy’s situation in the classroom. They discussed with me about my concerns. Even the teacher from the next class spent long time talking to me, understanding my boy’s situation. The auntie helpers also put me at ease, telling me my boy was fine I class. I was touched by their kindness and genuine care for my boy.My boy started K1, still anxious and uneasy but he gradually adapted to school life. There is a personal touch in NMS which I valued highly. The headmaster, teachers and auntie helpers would greet all kids by their names. My boy would come back telling me which auntie helper helped him going to toilet.

Then there come social chaos and Covid-19. Schools were suspended. NMS produced frequent and thoughtful teaching videos which my boy enjoyed watching. There were also zoom sessions so that kids could meet their teachers and classmates online. The school also spent much effort in organizing other activities online, like the Chinese New Year celebration. During this home-bound period, these activities mean a lot to the kids.

NMS also produced regular learning reports. From the reports, I can see why my boy enjoys his school life. There are always interesting activities through which the kids learn. In the past month, my boy has been humming an Environmental Protection song and has been very conscious in this topic. I can see they have been learning conservation concepts from making recycled paper, from watching a play about protecting the ocean, etc. It is real learning through activities.

Thanks to the love and care from all teachers and staff, my boy grew from a timid introvert, to one who loves going to school and loves sharing his stories and experiences. It is the school’s 50th anniversary this year. I am sure NMS will continue to grow and nurture more and more kids in the years to come.
