Learning in the Primary Years Aidanfield Christian School has developed a loving, nurturing and secure environment that mixes familiar experiences for children with new learning situations. Staff enjoy frequent contact with parents who are encouraged to take an active part in the school community. Each room provides a welcoming place in which the children feel a real sense of belonging. Teachers are responsible for developing children’s social skills, providing foundational educational requirements, and enabling spiritual growth and good work habits. New Entrants / Year 1 As the gateway to your child’s education, this classroom provides a stimulating environment where children are introduced to routines and learning habits, which will stand them in good stead for their future. Two passionate teachers share this class and welcome each pupil, building skill development and basic understandings in all curriculum areas. Small class numbers are an irreplaceable advantage for each pupil in this class and time is spent exploring, and working, with different learning styles to ensure the best possible start for each pupil.
Year 1 / 2 These are important years for developing confidence in being at school and in school routines. Children in these years are developing greater independence and can usually hang up their own bags and mange their own belongings independently in the classroom. The programme at this level has a strong emphasis on getting reading, writing and basic numeracy firmly underway. The developmental programme is a feature of this level.
Year 3 / 4 As children gain more independence, they are taught skills in working co-operatively with each other. These skills are developed in all areas of the curriculum at different times.
Year 5 / 6 An increasing independence in academic work is expected at these levels. Individual strengths in a wide range of academic and extra curricula areas are recognised with success being celebrated regularly. It is a time to challenge the pupils to think creatively, consider alternative ways of solving problems, and to aim high in whatever they do. Pupils are encouraged to become more active in service opportunities around the school and to look at how Christ is an integral part of life. These years consolidate the foundations for successful Middle School involvement.
