Class Enrichment Activities and Special Needs

"There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people."

We will focus on cross-curricular enrichment activities that can work with an extended-day program. Children's creativity will be enhanced with a wide variety of crafts, puzzles, games, and outdoor activities that will help extend many classroom topics. We build skills in critical thinking, listening, memory, visualization, and concentration through singing, hands-on science experiments, physical education games, word puzzles, art projects, challenges, Science experiments and more.

Further activities:

- Class scrabble games
- Class chess games and class puzzles, for appropriate levels of interest
- Digital scrapbooking for those who work at an advanced level at Adobe Photoshop elements 6.
- Class research challenges on topics of relevance/interest to the students.

Special needs programs will be set in place in the following ways:

- Student assessment for special needs with Special Needs team with ILPs written where necessary.
- Streamed Mathematics.
- Working to appropriate level in classroom and homework tasks.
