1. Implementing Design Activity Program (Project Approach)

Our school emphasizes on nurturing the child’s interest in learning and spirit of exploration in their acquisition of knowledge. Based on the child’s interest, ability and life experience, we use the Design Activity Program (Project Approach) to create an explorative environment in encouraging the child in self-study. For example, in the activity shown below, children learn about dumplings by making them and tasting different types of dumplings. In the arts activity, we ask children to make a dumpling model by clay. We decorate the classroom as Ka Fuk Restaurant and have the children role-play as restaurant workers selling dumplings. The goal is that children would gain knowledge in the process of exploration, thus encouraging them to take initiative in their learning.
