POOI TO PRIMARY SCHOOL

Conforming to the Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide (2017) and adopting the educator John Dewey's philosophies of ''learning from doing'' and ''Education is life'', we compile our curriculum according to children's interest and ability. We arrange specific activities that are integrated with elements like language, general knowledge, arts and craft, music, creativity and physical games for teaching purposes, so that children could learn with fun, build up their confidence in learning and cultivate their initiative and concentration to study. We also develop children's potential through diversified learning activities. Foreign language classes (including English and Mandarin) are all taught by full-time teachers: English classes are taught by foreign teachers while Mandarin classes are taught by full-time teachers who have obtained Level 1 qualification of the Putonghua Proficiency Test. Both English and Mandarin classes are taught in small-groups through singing, story-telling, children's songs and games. Children are guided to listen and speak more and they have more opportunities to encounter different terms. This helps to strengthen their listening and speaking skills in their daily lives. In addition, we actively promote children's moral education, which lays a sound foundation for whole person education. 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.
