Curriculum planning
|
Our school plans the curriculum according to the "Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide" (2017) using real-life themes to cater to children's interests and abilities, and we design diversified comprehensive activities which allow children to learn through play and to cultivate children's positive values and attitudes.
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
|
Games and multilingualism elements, combined with life experiences, are incorporated into different learning areas, stimulating children's motivation and interest in learning and establishing new knowledge. By exploring creative and interesting environments, children can develop problem-solving skills and build diversified abilities with a growth mindset. Other activities, such as group activities, outdoor visits, storytelling, life education and mindfulness practices, help nurture a positive and confident learning attitude.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
We record children’s learning progress through continuous observation and put together a comprehensive record of children's development in the "personal learning file".
