In Year 1, children begin formal education in core subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Science, with lessons designed to be engaging and interactive. There is a strong emphasis on developing reading and writing skills, often using phonics, and introducing basic mathematical concepts through hands-on activities.<\/p>\n

Creative arts, including art, music, and drama, foster creativity and self-expression, while regular physical education classes help develop motor skills and encourage a healthy lifestyle. In Year 2, the curriculum builds on the basics learned in Year 1, introducing more complex concepts in core subjects.<\/p>\n

Reading comprehension and writing skills are further developed, with children learning to write sentences and short paragraphs. Mathematics covers more advanced topics like simple multiplication and division, emphasizing problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n

Science lessons often include simple experiments and exploration of the natural world to spark curiosity. Throughout both years, there is a continued focus on developing social skills such as teamwork, communication, and empathy, creating a balanced and supportive learning environment that encourages children to develop academically, socially, and emotionally.<\/p>\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n <\/div> \r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n<\/section> \r\n\r\n
