Children engage with a variety of texts, honing their literacy skills and fostering a love for reading. Following this, the morning is dedicated to core subjects, starting with mathematics, where children tackle problem-solving activities and mathematical concepts. Next, they move on to writing lessons, developing their skills in composition, grammar, and creative expression.
After a break for lunch and some playtime, the afternoon sessions are filled with a broad range of curriculum subjects designed to offer a well-rounded education. Physical Education (PE) classes provide opportunities for physical activity and teamwork, while forest school sessions immerse students in outdoor learning experiences, connecting them with nature. Science lessons ignite curiosity through hands-on experiments and exploration of scientific principles. Music classes allow children to explore rhythm and melody, fostering creativity and expression. Art sessions encourage imagination and artistic skills, and history and geography lessons bring the past and the world around them to life.
At the end of the school day, children gather eagerly for story time, a cherished and calming tradition. As they sit comfortably, the teacher selects a captivating book, transporting the class into a world of imagination and adventure. This relaxing and enjoyable activity not only reinforces the importance of literacy but also fosters a love for storytelling and reading. Story time provides a perfect opportunity for children to unwind, reflect on their day, and leave school with a sense of wonder and anticipation for the next day's adventures.
The engaging and exciting curriculum, meticulously crafted by the dedicated teachers and leaders of the school, ensures that every child experiences a rich and varied education. This holistic approach not only enhances academic development but also nurtures personal growth and a lifelong love for learning.
