Our curriculum combines both English and Chinese elements, but both are inspired by STEAM and the British EYFS.

EYFS :

English curriculum follows the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) education system, which covers various fields of growth mainly including seven learning areas:

• communication and language

• physical development

• personal, social and emotional development

• literacy

• mathematics

• understanding the world

• expressive arts and design 

The Chinese part of the curriculum follows a similar approach, so its easy for our dual curriculum to work in harmony.

STEAM 

We are also inspired by the STEAM education system which encourages a more project based learning system. Many of our classes combine several different fields of growth to encourage critical thinking, problem solving and other practical skills. To learn more about STEAM, see this link

At Melodie we acknowledge the importance of music and physical activity to young children. It is part of daily life here at school. In addition to having regular play time where kids can freely express themselves and explore, we also have many active classes with specialist teachers. Activities include karate, Latin dancing, and football.

Karate: Great for coordination, discipline, health and self-confidence.

Dancing: A wonderful way to keep active and learn to love music and dancing, as well as improving a child's balance, stability, sensitivity, and responsiveness.

Football: Keep physically active while having fun with friends playing the beautiful game. Experience team work and nurture your fighting spirit, while improving the sense of competition and fairness.

Orff Music: We have a wide variety of instruments for children to use and explore. We have a daily ‘Music Time’ where children enjoy the fun and communal feeling of singing and dancing with their friends. We also hope this early exposure to music and rhythm can ignite a love of music that they carry with them forever.

The Orff approach is a way of introducing and teaching children about music on a level that they can easily comprehend. Musical concepts are learned through singing, chanting, dance, movement, drama and the playing
