The Ladybird
Class
Much
love and effort has gone into the creation of our
Pre-Primary classroom here at the Kempinski Campus. The
children enjoy an environment where they are safe and
happy, and in which they can reach their maximum
learning potential. Our little world is divided into
five areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics,
Language and Culture.
By working through these
areas, at their own pace and guided by myself, Melody
and San Mei, the children learn valuable skills.
Independence, concentration, co-ordination, self-esteem
and social awareness are some of the precious skills
they will acquire. Routine and orderliness in the
classroom teach the children to keep the environment
clean and tidy, making it easier for all to enjoy. They
are taught to put everything away in its right place,
once the chosen work is completed. These procedures
teach an awareness of considering the group as a whole
and not only as an individual. Through activity, the
children develop both gross and fine motor skills.
In our class, group snack is enjoyed at a set time each
day. Good table manners are always encouraged, the
social aspects of the class are observed. In both the
bathroom and the classroom, personal hygiene is
encouraged at all times.
The mixed age grouping in our Montessori class
encourages children to teach and help each other, while
we give guidance and support. Together with the
materials provided, we will help the children to master
the basic skills of everyday life.
