Literacy (English)

We provide children with opportunities to interact with adults and peers, and engage them in meaningful literacy activities with purposeful instruction. We create a literacy-rich environment for children to build on their literacy skills by adopting Letterland programme, for it was created to teach phonics using a story-based approach. The story logic engages children leading to long term retention of concepts. A wonderfully multi-sensory programme, it activates every learning channel through music, actions, alliterations, movement, song, art, games and role-play.

Bilingual Immersion (Chinese)

Maple Bear is unique because it is based on immersion learning which is different from more traditional language instruction.

Immersion students will speak language naturally and will be able to manipulate and utilize words in any context. By contrast, rote learning may cram a large vocabulary into a child, but he/she may only use them in a specific sentence or context.

The Maple Bear learning environment is structured so that the children learn language in a natural way, the same way in which they learned a first language.

Numeracy

We provide many opportunities for the children to explore endless manipulate concrete materials to develop numeracy concepts and skills, by investigating, comparing and to construct their own understanding.

Story books are carefully selected to set meaningful context for the learning and understanding of numeracy concepts.

Science

Children are naturally curious and are filled with wonder and fascination of the world around them.

We provide ample opportunities for children to explore the world around them by asking questions, making close observations and discuss their findings. We allow children to apply inquiry skills such as observation, prediction, investigation and drawing conclusions in their learning experiences.

Outdoor/Indoor Play

We have sufficient space for children to participate in sustained physical activities such as running in a relay and climbing a structure at the playground, which help to develop their cardiovascular and muscular strength. Through their involvement in physical activities, children develop components of fitness such as agility, coordination and flexibility.

Music & Movement

Daily musical experiences are enjoyable and meaningful. Children explore dynamics, rhythm, pitch and tempo as they ae introduced to a variety of music, songs of different genres and play simple percussion instruments.
