Curriculum planning
|
Curriculum will be planned in regard to the interest, physical and psychological development of children. The principle of ‘child-oriented’ is adopted and various learning domains, including Language, Self and Society, Early Childhood Mathematics, Nature and Living, Arts and Creativity and Physical Fitness and Health are integrated. Religious and moral education, language education and the development of creative thinking are emphasized.
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 bi-literate and tri-lingual abilities of children, Integrated Theme-based Curriculum and Whole Language Natural Learning Approach are adopted. The major learning language is Chinese, the mother language of children, with English and Putonghua as assistance, in order to laid down a good foundation of language for children. Children’s ability in listening, speaking, reading and writing English are strengthened through Shared Reading Approach, Phonemic Awareness and extended language activities. Parent-child reading, reading aloud, and meaningful writing activities are organized. Children are also encouraged to write stories and songs. In addition, the implementation of Caritas teaching method of 4E( Enquiry, Exploration & Experiment, Experience ) and Integrated Whole Language Learning Approach , Project Learning Approach, Orff Music Learning, Montessori teaching and Situational Learning are adopted. Activities such as visit, interview and experiments in individual, group, games and life experience activities have nurtured children to build self-confidence, self-discipline and self-care ability, learn spontaneously, to communicate with others in a more friendly attitude and to enhance their problem solving skills, creative thinking and self-learning abilities. To enhance children’s learning interest and spirit of seeking knowledge, Daily free play time is adopted, in order to allow children to choose and explore freely, cultivate children’s good morals and positive learning attitudes.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
Continuous assessment throughout the school year is adopted. In reference to the age appropriateness of children, the learning progress of each child will be kept in the ‘Children Physical and Psychological Development and Learning Record’ and ‘Individual Learning Portfolio’. Regular individual meetings with parents to discuss the growth and learning plan of children will be conducted annually.
