Integrated Theme-based Curriculum and Whole Language Learning Approach and Situational Learning Approach are adopted. Through individual and small group interactions, together with visits, real-life experiences, experiments and extra-curricular activities, encouraged to re-write stories and rhymes; strive to arouse children’s interest in learning and develop their language skills, creative thinking and the proactivity in exploring and learning. Project Learning Approach focusing on “thoughts, words expression , intentions and deeds” is also adopted to enhance children’s problem solving skills and democratic deliberation through co-operating with others. To develop bi-literate and tri-lingual abilities of children, it is through songs and stories, reading, phonetic games to increase children’s exposure to Putonghua and English, strengthening their listening, speaking and their proficiency in both languages. With daily-life training, children develop their self-management abilities and develop a good habit concerning to personal health and hygiene.
