Curriculum planning
|
We design courses of diversified activities based on the Guide to Pre-primary Curriculum 2017. Our aim is to promote holistic development of young children through 6 learning areas, namely "Physical Fitness and Health", "Language", "Early Mathematics", "Science and Technology", "Self and Society" and "Arts” so as to achieve balanced development in in moral, intellectual, physical, communal, and artistic aspects.
We will follow the "Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide" (2017) to plan curriculum. Children of nursery classes will not be asked to write, and there will not be mechanical copying exercises and drills on calculation.
|

Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
|
To develop young children’s potential in groups through an integrated curriculum for enhancement of children’s cognition, physical fitness, social skills and self-care. Chinese is our main medium of teaching, and native-speakers are employed to teach the English language courses. Our Putonghua teachers teach Putonghua through music, games and activities. We also emphasize children’s active participation in social services as an opportunity of sharing and fostering their love for life, family and concern for the society. Other activities include interest activities, living and regular training, music, physical and aesthetics training, snack-tasting, natural science, civic education, drawing and education on environmental protection. We also organize outdoor explorations, visits, parent-child activities and workshop for parents on individual themes.
|
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
|
Themed ongoing assessment will be adopted to assess children’s learning. A profile on the journey of learning is kept for each child. Teachers assess a child’s development in all aspects and learning outcome based on observation records and drawings.
