Curriculum planning
|
Based on the “Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide”, our school adopts an integrated theme-based curriculum responding to the life experience of children. We value the language and moral development of children. Through corner activities, we stimulate children’s interest in learning and arouse their curiosity to seek knowledge.
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
|
|
The curriculum emphasizes children’s life experience. Children develop positive learning attitude through class teaching, doing, visits, exploration, and drama activities etc. We strengthen their language ability through the home reading scheme 'Paired Reading'. Through the programme ‘Family Wellness Vitamins’, we help children to cultivate a sense of responsibility and resilience; to develop communication skills and the ability to appreciate the surroundings; to boost their self-esteem; and to treasure the time with family and friends.
|
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
|
There is an assessment report for every learning theme. Through observation, works of children, and children and parent feedback, different learning aspects including language, mathematics, physical fitness, self and society, arts and creative expressions, nature and living are assessed continuously. A portfolio of learning and development is then built up.
