EYFS体系重在发展孩子的哪些方向?
In what direction does the EYFS system focus on children’ development?
EYFS是世界上权威的婴幼儿教育标准之一,主要是围绕七大学习和发展领域:
(1)个人、社交和情感发展
(2)英语读写能力
(3)沟通和语言
(4)数学和逻辑能力
(5)了解世界
(6)体能发展
(7)表现性艺术与设计
每个领域针对不同年龄阶段都会有细分标准,EYFS老师的教学流程是通过对孩子们的观察,找出他们的兴趣点,围绕他们的兴趣点展开教学活动计划,更多会以主题游戏的形式进行,引导孩子们参与,从而记录孩子们的表现,给出相应的评估。
EYFS is one of the world's most authoritative standards for early education, centred around seven main learning and development areas:
(1) Personal, social and emotional development
(2) English literacy
(3) Communication and language
(4) Mathematics
(5) Understand the world

According to different age groups, there are specific criteria for every area. EYFS teacher's teaching process is to find out children’s areas of interests through observation. Furthermore, according to their interests, teacher will make the lesson plan and design activities. More often, the EYFS teacher will do the teaching activities in the form of games. They will lead the children to take an active part in the activities and make records of their performance. Then corresponding evaluation will be given.
03
家长如何了解孩子的成长变化?
How can parents be informed about their child's progress (growth and changes)?
每个孩子都是独一无二的。EYFS老师针对所在班级孩子的成长特点,制定EYFS教学周计划、月计划发布于晓黑板APP上,孩子根据教学安排的学习日常,也将毫无保留的展示在APP里,以让家长清晰了解到孩子的学习、活动情况。除日常的沟通平台外,PWP还采用英国先进的在线学习评估体系Tapestry,EYFS老师将真实客观地记录每个孩子的学习过程,确保成长发展的过程清晰可查,让家长及老师通过大数据以发展的眼光对孩子进行纵向评价,从而实现真正的因材施教。最关键的是学期末的一对一家长会,四位老师会专门从EYFS的各大领域详细的针对每一个孩子的学习和发展做细致的评估和反馈。家长们可以对孩子在校的学习和发展有更直观更深入的了解,从而达到家校之间的有效互动和协同参与。
Every child is unique. According to the characteristics of growth of the children in their classes, EYFS teachers will make weekly and monthly EYFS teaching plans and publish them on the ‘Blackboard’ [晓黑板] app. Children's daily learning routines according to the teaching arrangements will also be displayed on the app without any reservation, so that parents can have a clear understanding of their children's learning and activities.
In addition to the daily communication platform, PWP also adopts the advanced online learning evaluation system ‘Tapestry’. EYFS teachers will objectively truly record each child's learning progress, to ensure that the process of growth and development can be seen and checked easily.Through big data, parents and teachers can make longitudinal evaluations from the aspect of development. Then we can teach our children in accordance to their aptitude.The most important is the one-to-one parent-teacher meeting at the end of each semester, in which four teachers will give detailed assessment and feedback on the learning and development of each child from all main areas of EYFS. Parents can have a more intuitive and deeper understanding of their children's learning and development in school, so as to achieve the effective interaction and collaborative participation between home and school.

In addition to the basic requirement of teachers' learning and growth environment, we also attach great importance to the teaching ability and the observation of Chinese and foreign teachers. According to the education system and teaching principles, foreign teachers need to observe the characteristics of growth and development of children in the class, and formulate project lessons plans and objectives. Then, it is particularly important to establish familiarity with children.

英语基础不好的孩子融入不了怎么办?
How to deal with the children with poor
English?
英伦威廉王子公学作为纯英式国际幼儿园,在面试的时老师也会考核英语方面。但在其中,老师们更多地是了解孩子的英文程度,以便于在入学后帮助孩子适应英文环境。
对于新入园且英文水平还稍有欠缺的孩子,一方面,我们会给予其更多的关注,通过中外教“双语”的多方辅助让其在建立自信和安全感的基础上快速融入和顺利过渡;另一方面在沉浸式的英文环境中,正处于语言发展巅峰时期的孩子们,能够通过强有力的自主学习能力,和肢体语言等其他方式进行沟通。同时校区也会辅助家长,给予相应的家庭语言学习指导,在家强化英语学习氛围,这样英语基础不好的孩子也能在多方支持下快速适应、快速提升。
Prince William public school, as a quintessentially British international kindergarten,we will also assess the child’s level of English during the interview.However, teachers also know more about children's English level , so that can help children adapt to the English speaking environment when they come to school. For the new children who are not good at English, on the one hand, we will pay more attention to them. With the help of Chinese and foreign teachers' bilingualism, they can quickly integrate and make a smooth transition on the basis of building self-confidence and security; on the other hand, in the immersive English environment, the children who are at the peak of language development, they can communicate with body language and other ways through their strong independent learning ability. At the same time, the campus will also help parents to give the corresponding family language learning guidance, strengthen the English learning atmosphere at home, so that the children who with a poor English foundation can adapt and improve quickly with the support of various parties.

孩子在幼儿园不适应哭闹怎么办?
What will we do when children can not adapt the new environment?
离开家和父母,孩子来到新的环境难免会有些不适应,而产生情绪上的过激表达。
为了帮助孩子们完美过渡分离焦虑的成长时段,英伦威廉王子公学将会针对新入学的家庭召开新生家长会,除家园共育的教育理念传达外,老师也会安排家长带着孩子熟悉整个校园,感受“陌生环境”里的温暖和快乐。
来到校园的第一周是 “过渡黄金期”,老师会连续七天,多次记录孩子的情绪状态、饮食情况、生理表现等,及时向家长反馈孩子的学习和生活情况,以确保孩子顺利渡过分离焦虑时期。
