Pre-primary, 6 years
A fresh year, ready for primary school
The Senior year is a new experience. Children learn in a more structured classroom, because this is the year we prepare them for formal primary school. They practise taking information from the board, listening to instructions for the whole class, working as a team, following a duty roster and taking turns as class leaders. The year includes a major project on a theme the children choose, and it closes with an annual concert for their parents.

Inside the programme
Chinese
The syllabus keeps a firm base in reading, writing, spoken Mandarin, Hanyu Pinyin, spelling and composition, so children are ready for Primary 1.
Mathematics
Children work on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and on time, length, weight and money, through apparatus, games and activity books. Lessons also leave the classroom so mathematics is used on real problems.
Project work
Small group tasks and projects let children follow a theme across subjects. They ask real questions and try new ideas, and they take a more active approach to learning.
Social studies
By this year, children have a growing sense of civic life. The work looks at order in the environment and at how people live together in a wider community.
Music, art and movement
Music, art and physical education continue from Readiness and Juniors: listening, dance, singing, art techniques, role play, and the physical and social skills of moving together.
