Learning Spotlight

The Alice Smith School Juniors curriculum is undergoing an exciting transformation! 

• We're moving towards a concept-based inquiry approach for Science, History, Geography & DT.
• Students will delve deeper into big ideas and develop transferable skills by asking questions, exploring local contexts, and making connections across different subjects. 
• This innovative approach will empower them to become independent learners and "spark courageous exploration to inspire a better world."

We endeavour to provide an engaging, creative and inspirational curriculum where children have agency to investigate and explore deeper learning opportunities within topics through research, questioning and interviewing experts, in order to fully emerse themselves and gain a greater understanding of the topics we cover in class. During Term 1a we will learn about-

• Living Things and their Habitats
• Persuasive Writing
• Poetry
• Place Value

Term 1b

• Creative Arts, Deepavali performance
• Stories from Other cultures
• The Girl Who Planted a Tree
• Food and Nutrition
• Additiona and Subtraction/Shape

Feedback and Suggestions

We encourage parents to share their thoughts and suggestions for the next term, fostering a culture of open communication. Here is the link for parent feedback. 

We welcome communication and look forward to meeting you in person at the Welcome Evening and Settling In Meetings. Our priority is to keep your child safe and happy every day in our school and we are very excited to get to know your special little humans and help them grow on their learning journey.
