Reading & writing and numbers sense

Our Kindergarten 2 children usually join the class at aged 4-5 years but we do have flexibility and it does depend on ability. We make an organised yet fun, stimulating and educational environment.

Language & literacy

K2 students recognise and manipulate sounds in spoken words rapidly expanding their English vocabulary. They understand all the letters and the sounds they make, continuing Jolly Phonics course. Children in the K2 class start to comprehend text, read signs as their reading skills compound very quickly. Writing skills strengthen to the point where the children can write simple sentences.

K2 children love listening to and understanding stories in depth. They are eagar to re-tell them and use ideas in their own creative stories. We encourage alot of group work. in this class and working together becomes second nature.
