Re: 1st day of school in TY ESF K1

I have the same concern if they adapt the peer influrence, how come if the elder students set the wrong example without teachers' participation (the elder students only around 5, I don't expect they all behaviour properly all the time, and my son is small to distinguish the good or bad). On the other words, the elder students become the teacher ?
I think the peer influencing approach that the school refers to means that smaller children can learn from the bigger peers. When they see that the older ones can do something that they cant, they'll be motivated, more tempted to try, to imitate, to figure out how they can do it right. The bigger children will feel like a leader when they can help the smaller ones and will be more willing to share their knowledge and skills. It is like the Montessori multi-age classroom when kids aged from three to six were mixed where children can learn from and share with one another. Of course its success will depend on the skills and experience of the teachers.
I don't believe that older children will always set good examples for others and that's why teachers need to be there, to facilitate and to intervene where necessary because in any classroom, there are kids whether big or small, who don't behave. In my daughter's school, for example, at the beginning of the term last year, my daughter told me that some of her classmates always yelled, pushed and hit. She wanted me to stay in the classroom because she was afraid somebody would hit her although nobody ever did. Two months later, she told me that the boys didn't hit anymore. They were good boys.
Thanks for your reply, Jessmama |

lay is a vital medium for developing children's thinking processes and providing exposure to experiences which enrich their learning. It provides opportunities for social interaction, problem solving through investigation, creative development and language and motor skill development. In order to facilitate this we will deliver the curriculum through structured play activities specially designed to develop these skills."
In fact, I'm planning to move to the SJS catchment area. My son's kinder is very strong at English. My husband is a merchant & I'm a professional (Some mom said that SJS only takes children come from director/professional families 
. Indeed, I really not want to leave the present school 
Although I know that GSIS, HKIS are excellent; however, it's quite difficult to get a place. Further, I think the discipline of SJS may be better
