With a strong focus on hands-on learning experiences, our
Nursery 1 children enjoy a wonderfully varied and creative
programme which enables them to learn at their own pace. The
main areas of our curriculum for Nursery 1 children are:
Within each of these broad curriculum areas, there is a wide
range of activities for the children to take part in to ensure
that they get a balanced and interesting programme. As with
all our classes at Lorna Whiston Pre-School, activities are
taught bi-lingually; that is to say there is an English language
teacher and a Mandarin language teacher in each class, both
guiding the children so that they are immersed in the two
languages naturally.
Above
all our Nursery 1 programmes aim to capture the excitement
and adventure of learning so that coming to school each day
becomes something each child looks forward to. |

Our
Nursery 2 students enjoy a fun-filled learning programme that
is carefully balanced and varied. They are placed on an individualised
reading programme and have their first exposure to phonics
during the Nursery 2 year. Early maths and number skills are
introduced and reinforced through practical, concrete experiences
to ensure a firm understanding of fundamental concepts, and
the children are given regular opportunities to explore the
world around them and to be creative. Our Nursery 2 children
are gently encouraged to become more independent and to develop
self-help skills that will help them to become more effective
learners. They are encouraged to take turns, show kindness
to others and share with their friends. |
