Our Mandarin Curriculum is continually updated to reflect current trends. We incorporate the 17 SGDs (Sustainable Development Goals) into our curriculum, using innovative teaching models such as “The Mantle of the Expert” and Kagan cooperative learning. These methods make learning Mandarin enjoyable and foster confidence, broadening students’ international perspectives and enhancing their understanding of the world. Similar to how children progress with their phonics from kindergarten to primary, their skills of characters and pinyin also develop within the writing curriculum for Mandarin. The children learn to recognise, read and write both characters and pinyin. The expectations for writing characters progress as the children transition to each year group, further developing their Mandarin linguistic skills.
