As our WilderKids discover, explore and create as they develop independence, build friendships and learn to be active members of their community. As they mature they further develop their relationships and more complex thinking, communication and language skills. Children will develop a deeper understanding of their world and the impact they have upon it.
K1
The K1 programme ‘Foundation’ is carefully constructed to embrace play as part of our Units of Inquiry. Through play our students are encouraged to explore, inquire, express themselves and develop their social skills. They learn to take turns, listen to others and express themselves in different modes. Daily literacy, numeracy, and Chinese language lessons are integrated into the units.
