English Proficiency Assessment

Today, my Cutie went for her English Enrichment class and we were surprised that her classmates were either 6 or 7 years old (cos' my Cutie is only 4 years old!).  The pupils in the school are allocated based on their English proficiency level and not by age group.  Luckily, my Cutie is tall (looking like a 5-6 years old). Thankfully, the teacher is understanding and is able to make her feel at ease in class with the other older kids.

Altho' Mummy knows that my Cutie,has no problem reading most words (she has been able to read since at the age of 3 and many of her teachers have provided feedback that she's quite advanced for her age), Mummy is still impressed with her speed reading skills and great understanding of what she read, as shown during her assessment.  Her assessor was also impressed by her proficiency level at her age and decided to allocate her to this level 3 class (without the need to go through level 1 and 2).

For my Sweetie, she may not be as proficient as her sister (but still pretty good for her age group), she was also able to impress mummy with her Sweetie answers during her assessment.

At 1 point,  she was being asked about what she saw on the picture of a nest.  She answered 2 CHICKS, altho' it's quite obvious to be 2 eggs.  The assessor then probed her further by asking where are the chicks and guess what she told him.  She said they were INSIDE the eggs.  Hahaha... this little Sweetie really never fails to brighten up my day.

Forever my darlings.
