Curriculum planning
|
According to the Education Bureau’s Curriculum Guidelines and the “Multi-Intelligence” theory, our curriculum is designed to cater to children’s physical and mental developments and their individual interests.
Through educational game-play, children will be given an environment which helps develop positive, balanced growth in all parts of life. It lays emphasis on Bi-literacy and Tri-lingualism and is conducted through book reading and a series of language teaching methods: stories, children's songs, in-environment word learning, talking activities, drama, etc., supported by the latest information technologies and a complete set of multimedia courseware: animations, stories, songs, etc. For arts education, we aim to integrate four areas: art history, art appreciation and aesthetic training and creative art activities. In addition, there is the "Mei-Yu Orff" music course, "Collectivity Intelligence" PE course, and "Little Mushroom:Emotional Intelligence for children" emotion , life education, etc.
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.
