Off123:Hi,Anyone knows what is the curriculum for YMCA?
I do not know how to `get' the information out from the principal as I found I get lead to other areas of discussion. Was often told PG not much learning as they cannot concentrate for more than 10mins.
They will have play, music, movements. But is that all I should be expecting for PG class?
Any parent with kids in PG class - please share what your child's programme in a typical day at CC.
Thanks!
I do not know the curriculum in YWCA. I can share with you the curriculum we planned for our PG class in my new childcare centre.
Different school define PG differently. To clarify, PG is for children turning two that year and N1 is for children turning three that year.
In PG, we have the following segments:
- Letterland phonics
- Mathematics in the form of introducing colours, shapes, simple sorting
- Science through cookery
- Chinese language through songs
- Music and Movement and Art and Craft
- Much focus will also be in play. This is where they learn how to share, say their \"please\"\"and \"Thank you\", take turns, imitate....
As their attention span is low as the principal had rightly put it, we need to have activities that are hands-on and make it like \"play\" to them. Teachers should be able to adjust according to the children's interests.
Our N1 students are also having similar curriculum, but, they will have more project time as they are able to converse and express their thoughts better. Projects will allow them to learn a certain topic with more depth.
There's so much to talk about with just projects. We have an open house next Saturday. Visit us and we can discuss in greater detail.
