J-RICH MIDDLE CLASS (UPPER PRIMARY)

WELCOME TO J-RICH 

 

On entering middle school which is referred to as the upper primary .  J-RICH children are encouraged to take even more responsibility both for their own learning and as a group member.  

Our curriculum is topic based which enables children to develop their research and problem solving skills.  This allows them to become autonomous learners which in turn builds their self esteem and self confidence.

BREAK TIME IN J-RICH

By this stage, most children should have sufficiently established reading and comprehension skills to undertake independent research. Maths skills are developed and extended in both recorded and practical forms. 

The children are encouraged to become self-regulated learners, as they learn to gather information from a variety of sources and research skills take a leap forward.

Towards the end of class 4 the children are given more responsibility with organization of time. We usually do at least four projects each academic year.   For each of these projects we organize a trip which appertains to the particular project. 

Class  5 and 6

Class  5 and 6 in upper  primary school work together in a two years’ cycle, allowing children in class 5 to join class 6 for extension and project work, whist allowing the children in class 6 to have the opportunity to re-visit subjects covered, especially within the Mathematics  curriculum, should it be to their benefit and, yes, the children often request this practice.

To advise parents about the most appropriate secondary schools for their children, the director, with his experience in support teaching and study skills, carries out standardized assessments with class 5 and 6. These give a formal academic profile of each child, so that given advice indicates realistic choices for future schooling.

Although ‘group’ is the operative word, each child continues to work and be treated as an individual within the group, however, each child needs to remember that their well-being, should not be to the detriment of others.

J-RICH TRANSITION

WELCOME     

Our primary section is situated at the down floor of the campus. It is divided into two(2) sub-sections  which comprises of three (03) levels ( level 1,2,3). 

 INFANT PRIMARY
The infant primary  is made up of children with ages 5-7 years.This section is called the transition.

In Transition we aim to foster independent learning, develop key skills and nurture creative expression, within a supportive learning environment and through cross-curricular topic work. 

The  primary is made up of five(5) teacher per level and it host class size stands at 15pupils per class. This pupils are coordinated by a qualified and experienced teacher who is assisted by the level head and the headteacher.

YEAR 1

In year 1,Clubs /Music practice and dances are introduced to the already broad curriculum, to fulfill the academic, physical, creative and social needs of each individual child. 

Establishing routines is important for every child, as it helps them to develop a sense of belonging and supports their independent learning. The majority of our work in Level1 is done in partner or small group setups, incorporating the interests of the children.

It is at this stage that any child experiencing difficulties can be identified and appropriate support planned and followed through. Sometimes this includes off-site support, e.g. physiotherapists, speech therapists. Close contact between staff, specialists and parents is expected.

It is rewarding to note that staff commitment to early intervention pays such dividends in the child's all-round development.

YEAR 2

In year 2, the interpretation of music ,intensive painting and debates  are introduced to the curriculum.  In learning skills and gaining knowledge, we aim to create a sense of 'group', building self-confidence and developing the ability to interact positively with others.

In addition to the requirements of Literacy and Numeracy skills, topic themes (which may be Geography, History or Science based) are explored in greater depth in Transition.

There is a strong emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy skills during these two years, as we believe that it is only when these skills are in place that children are able to continue with independent research.
