| curriculum_planning | Focusing on biliteracy and trilingualism, we teach in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Based on the physical and mental development of children as well as the six learning areas, we emphasize the comprehensiveness and use children's life experiences as the starting point to integrate the activities of differnt learning areas. Meanwhile, we use the connection between the main themes and the sub-topics to add or eliminate certain activities according to the children's interests, so as to ensure cohesion of kindergarten and primary school. 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. |
