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 Mathematics”, “Physical Fitness and Health”, “Arts and “Science and Technology” are integrated. Also emphasized on Religious and moral education, language education and creative thinking development of children. Promotional activities such as “Love and Care Campaign” and “Children Month” were launched annually to promote activities cultivating love and ethics, assisting children in deepening their virtue and character. Incorporated Putonghua songs, games and stories, as well as English phonetic games and reading programs into our curriculum to enhance children's listening, speaking and writing skills of both languages.
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
|
Integrated Theme-based Curriculum and Whole Language Learning Approach and Situational Learning Approach are adopted. Through individual and small group interactions, together with visits, real-life experiences, experiments and extra-curricular activities, encouraged to re-write stories and rhymes; strive to arouse children’s interest in learning and develop their language skills, creative thinking and the proactivity in exploring and learning. Project Learning Approach focusing on “thoughts, words expression , intentions and deeds” is also adopted to enhance children’s problem solving skills and democratic deliberation through co-operating with others. To develop bi-literate and tri-lingual abilities of children, it is through songs and stories, reading, phonetic games to increase children’s exposure to Putonghua and English, strengthening their listening, speaking and their proficiency in both languages. With daily-life training, children develop their self-management abilities and develop a good habit concerning to personal health and hygiene.

Continuous assessment throughout the school year is adopted. With 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’.
