1: Beginning
At the beginning of K5 the children will learn to follow a new set of class rules and implement the lessons in self-discipline they have been learning up until this stage. Kids will have fun with a new kind of learning when they are given more responsibility for setting their own goals and learning outcomes. To further expand the children’s literacy readiness, they will be introduced to consonants and vowels. They`ll also be introduced to writing comprehension and will extend their math knowledge too.
K5の新学期が始まると、子どもたちはまず新しいクラスのルールに慣れながら、これまでに培ってきた我慢や集中力などの自己鍛錬の成果を発揮します。そして、目標や責任感を持って学習することの充実感を味わいます。英語では母音と子音の勉強に進み、算数の能力もさらに伸ばします。
2: Developing
As the kids further develop in K5 they display more and more independence. Through a mixture of individual and group-oriented activities, kids take on a new found responsibility and enthusiasm for learning. As their literacy skills progress, the children start to read short sentences and enjoy reading materials such as simple poems and rhymes, classroom news and even simple books. By now, the class is a cohesive unit as children get to further know and respect each other. They are now sensitive to each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
子どもたちは成長するにつれてさらに自立していきます。個人やグループでのアクティビティを通じて学習への関心をより深め、責任感をより強く持ちます。英語力はますます伸びて、子どもたちは短い文章が読めるようになり、童謡、クラスニュース、絵本などを楽しむようになります。この段階ではクラスみんなが団結し、子どもたちは互いをさらによく知り、尊敬や思いやりの気持ちを示します。
3: Mastering
At the end of the year, K5 kids will have a solid academic foundation upon which to build. They will be able to solve simple math problems, express themselves through simple creative writing activities and, with guidance, they will also be able to self-correct much of their own work. Children that have shown an aptitude for art and creativity will be encouraged and given room to grow. By this time of the year, class activities move with efficiency and an urgency that the children can now relish. They will now be ready for the challenges of elementary school.
幼稚園卒業までに、子どもたちは英語や算数の基礎をしっかりと習得し、簡単な算数の問題を解くことや、英作文を書くことができるようになります。先生のサポートで自分の課題ノートや宿題も直せます。美術の才能がある生徒は、創造性を伸ばす機会がたっぷりと与えられます。そして毎年、この時期にはたくさんのクラスイベントが催され、子どもたちは仲間との充実した時間を楽しみます。子どもたちはもうしっかりと小学校へ行くための準備が整っています。
