Term 3 NEWSLETTER Agape Little Uni @ Jurong West

LEARNING TRAIL!!!

Agape Curriculum Team has launched an innovative strategy which will make the curriculum visible and alive to parents when they step into our centre. We called it “LEARNING TRAIL”. From the display, parents are able to see the learning trail wall near the entrance. The purpose of this learning trail is to see the activities done by individual class from Playgroup to Kindergarten 2 class. This learning trail will showcase the weekly progress of each class in different subject areas and how the teachers engaged the children in activities which various concepts that has been taught (e.g. art and craft, cookery, storytelling and role playing). In term 3 newsletter, we are presenting the “LEARNING TRAIL” concept which showcase children’s different learning approaches, i.e. Story Based Curriculum, Phonics, Math, Readers and Chinese Curriculum. By looking at the pictures, you can feel the excitement and joy in their our children’s learning @ Agape!
