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 Creativity, Nature and Living 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
Individual, group and interactive team activities are organized. Integrated Curriculum and Whole Language Learning Approach are adopted. Children are encouraged to re-write stories and to create children rhymes which has laid down their good foundation of language. Shared Reading Approach and Phonemic Awareness are also adopted which has strengthened the children’s English ability, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. In addition, the implementation of Free Play, Project Learning Approach and Situational Learning has nurtured the spontaneous learning and problem solving skills of children. Their creative thinking are also fostered. Through interesting drama activities, children’s imagination and creativity can be inspired.
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’.
