Programmes

The young mind is thirsty for new experiences, to be challenged and to be engaged. We empower children by their learning, not only to facilitate the acquisition of skills and concepts but the process of developing a positive self-image, and inculcate positive attitudes towards learning. Here are some of the curriculum in the programme.

Playgroup 豆豆班

(18months to 30 months)

豆豆班课程(全中文课程)

圣恩华文

18个月到3岁是幼儿发展口语能力的最佳时期。“故事乐园”里的八个精彩故事,将会帮助幼儿认识事物的名称、学习发音,进而说出精简句来进行沟通。这个过程中,幼儿的世界观及智力发展会逐步地建构起来。

手指谣

“动手、动口、动脑”!手指谣的传唱是通过手指动作辅助把韵律感较强的短篇歌谣内容鲜明地呈现出来。这能帮助牙牙学语的幼儿更快地掌握歌谣内容,传唱韵律优美的手指谣也能使幼儿享受诗歌之美。

小厨师

幼儿总爱模仿成人的行为和动作,他们觉得好玩、刺激又有成就感。小厨师活动就是要帮助幼儿学习做“小大人”!在学习制作食物的过程中,帮助他们确认自己的能力、增强自信心。

小小探索家

自由探索是最佳的学习途径之一。小小探索家活动中,多元化的材料吸引着幼儿通过五感“视觉、嗅觉、触觉、听觉和味觉”勇敢地去发现新知。

创意活动

“小小艺术家、音乐律动、运动乐”让豆豆班幼儿通过创意的绘画、有趣的音乐游戏和各式的体能挑战发挥自己的创意、体现自己的想法与心声。

PLAYGROUP

A literature-based curriculum which uses quality big books to help children at this age group acquire the Chinese Language in a fun, interactive and meaningful way.  Activities are extended from the story in the big book to engage children in their learning.

Highlights of the Curriculum

  • Big books with large font size and colourful illustrations are used
  • Children build up their language skills as they listen to stories being read aloud and invited to recite “finger play rhymes”.
  • Cookery lessons based on the story are conducted for children to learn independence and to taste the food that they make.
  • Children are engaged in different physical movement, balance and music activities to develop their gross motor skills.
  • Their fine motor skills are refined through everyday activities like holding a spoon to self-feed themselves during meal times and using sponge brush for art and craft work.

The playgroup curriculum also employs the 3Rs (Respectful, Responsive, Reciprocal) when teachers interact with the playgroup children.  Each child is treated like worthy people with respect.  Teachers being sensitive to the child’s needs and responsive to the child’s cues, and facial and body gestures.

Teachers applying the 3Rs and building trusting relationships with the playgroup children in the daily curriculum will nurture them into confident, secured and valued individuals, which prepares them for the next stage of their learning – the Nursery stage.

NURSERY 1 and 2 

Varied hands-on learning experiences are provided to help children at this age group  to acquire the knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary for the next stage of  learning – Kindergarten. 

Language and Literacy skills 

  • Listen to stories and rhymes being read aloud build up their knowledge of how  words are put together to form sentences. 
  • Inviting children to share and talk about their personal experiences such as their  favourite food and the activities they engaged with their family members. Taking turns to recount their personal experiences also build their confidence to  speak and express themselves. 
  • Learning the individual letter sounds through Jolly phonics songs and actions lay the foundation for the next stage of phonics learning. 
  • Readers are written by experienced authors. The colourful illustrations, rhyming  and repetitive nature of the text engaged children in their reading. 

Numeracy 

  • Using a Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach to help children acquire  numeracy concepts. 
  • The use of varied manipulatives and everyday objects enable children to construct  their own understanding about numeracy concepts at their own pace. Rhymes and songs are incorporated into the lessons to help children learn about  numbers with ease. 
  • Questions are asked on the stories (Big Books) used in the programme to highlight  the numeracy concepts that lead children to relate such concepts to their daily  experiences. 

• Using interesting games that make the learning of numeracy fun and also help  children at this age group to practise acquired skills and concepts.

Kindergarten 幼稚班

(Child turns 5 or 6 years old)

幼稚班课程(5 – 6 岁)

圣恩华文

5至6岁的幼儿,性格独立、思考能力强对事物都有自己的独特见解。针对着幼儿的这些特点,我们采取了更灵活的探讨、提问和实验的方式来进行圣恩华文的主题教学活动。幼儿的学习主题“昆虫、植物”、“改变世界的人”、“拯救地球”、“食物的秘密”等,也充满了无限的探讨空间。幼儿通过与教师间互学互教的方式,去认识世界、发表自己的经验、观察与见解;逐渐发展为一个能独立思考的学习者,为步入小学殿下基础。

    听力测试、展示和讲述活动、识读汉字、习写汉字、创意写作都是幼儿们课程中不可或缺的元素。这能确保他们的听说读写能力得到良好的发展。在六岁班(K2),我们也教导幼儿汉语拼音及听写;以让他们享受无缝隙的幼小衔接课程。

 

圣恩小读者

5至6岁的圣恩小读者阅读系列,除了引人入胜的绘图外,其故事内容也充满了趣味性和省思性。这有助于幼儿在建构阅读能力的同时,也结合书中内容对自己所处的世界做出积极的探讨。

创意活动

“爱美术、爱音乐、爱运动”在这些创意活动中,幼儿不仅发挥自己的独特思维、展现自己的艺术创作能力;他们也从一些小组活动中学习了互助合作,相亲相爱的群体生活技能。

 

品格教育

    教养孩童,使他走当行的道,就是到老也不偏离。(箴言22:6)秉持着这个教育理念,我们分享圣经故事、进行品格教育之余,我们也鼓励幼儿把圣经故事里学到的各种价值观贯彻执行到日常生活中,帮助他们成为品学兼优的好孩子。

KINDERGARTEN 1 AND 2 

When children arrive at the Kindergarten stage, they will have already acquired basic  knowledge about language and numeracy. 

Language and Literacy skills 

  • With the knowledge on letters of the alphabet and their individual sounds learnt  from Nursery 2, they will move on to the next stage of blending and segmenting  through identifying the sounds in words and games. 
  • Children are encouraged to interact with each other and among their friends and  teachers to build up their confidence to speak in front of a group of audience. Readers are written by experienced authors. The theme-based readers exposed  children to more high frequency words, how they are used and knowledge of the  world through the text and illustrations in the readers. 
  • Writing opportunities are integrated into the curriculum to allow children to form simple sentences with words provided and then progressively to creative writing  of their own choice and also teacher’s given topics. 

Numeracy  

  • Learning experiences are planned to help children move between the phases of  concrete, pictorial and abstract (CPA). 
  • Language is also purposefully integrated to help them use mathematical language  and vocabulary to talk about numeracy concepts. 
  • Children are very much encouraged to verbalise and explain how they arrive at a  mathematical problem solution. 

• Numeracy topics such as money and time are integrated into the learning to help  them build knowledge and skills necessary when they attend primary school. • The use of concrete things and everyday objects in hands-on experiences so that  children can see the relevance of numeracy to the world in which they live in.
