Grade 1

The start of the grades journey is an exciting moment for the 6 year old, for whom intellectual and social relationships with their teacher and classmates are at the core. 

The basis of the curriculum is fairy tales from all over the world. The characters represent universal attributes such as courage, honesty and goodness. Taught best through narrative at this age, the young child absorbs and digests the lessons, developing strong emotional intelligence and social responsibility. 

Through archetypal images which connect to the child’s experience, the letters emerge. 

Through movement games, and using objects that they can manipulate, children are introduced to the rhythm and patterns of numerical knowing.
