SHARING CURRICULUM INFORMATION WITH PARENTS

Curriculum Information Meetings

Each term parents of our Primary students are requested to join Curriculum Information Meetings. In Term One this meeting is an opportunity for parents to meet the teaching staff from their childโ€™s year group and to hear what learning and excitement lies ahead for the coming term. Staff share information on the topics that will be studied, the teaching tools that will be used to assist the learning, what trips will be arranged that support the topic and how parents can best support their child at home. The meetings in the first term also provide an opportunity for parents to nominate a Class Ambassador. Class Ambassadors are responsible for liaising between the class teacher and the class parents and often support the class teaching in organising class events throughout the year. In addition, Class Ambassadors will welcome new families to the class and the wider school community.

In Term Two there will be a Curriculum Information Meeting explaining about one subject area.

In Term Three the Curriculum Information Meeting will give further information about an area of the Primary School, along with an Open Afternoon that will give parents the opportunity to tour Primary and see it in action.

 

Curriculum Statements

Termly Curriculum Statements are sent home to parents explaining the learning objectives for each topic and giving helpful hints on how you can support your child at home.

ASSEMBLIES

Each Primary class presents a โ€˜Family Assemblyโ€™ at least once a year to which all parents are invited.

SHOWCASESย 

Alongside yearly Family Assemblies, children will present their amazing work through a series of showcases – ranging from small in classroom showcases to largerย events in our Multi Purpose Room. This is a superb opportunity for parents to engage with children’s learning and take an active part in their schooling at KIS.
