Primary School
Welcome to
the Primary School. This level caters to students from 6 to 12 years of
age. According to age, the students are placed in Grade 1 to 6.
Primary
provides a firm base for students to enter secondary with the skills,
values and positive attitudes they require. Emphasis is placed on effort
grades. This is because we want children to achieve their full
potential, create a sense of responsibility and develop good work
habits. It is important they be prepared to face challenges with
confidence and high self- esteem.
Sports and
Community Service also play an important part in the development of our
students.
Structure
There
are usually two classes in each grade. Each class has a tutor, who is
responsible for all matters concerning the students. Each class also has
subject teachers. Grade one and two has a teacher assistant.
The School Day:
Children enter the school at 7:30 a.m. They have a 20
minutes period of Tutorial. Lessons begin at 7:30 a.m. and finish at
3:00 p.m. Pupils have half
an hour for break and half an hour for lunch.
Silent Reading period is from 7:50 a.m. to 8:10 a.m.
During this time pupils can read what they
like without the need to write a report about it.
The objective is to incentive their reading ability.
We want
them to read for pleasure and not as an obligation.
At 3:15 p.m.
Games and/or Extracurricular Activities start until 3:45 p.m.
The
curriculum and Teaching Approach
Bilingual Education is provided throughout primary. A British National
Curriculum and a Peruvian Curriculum have been integrated to form the
base for the academic demands of secondary.
Spanish, Maths, English, Social Studies, Art, Personal and Social
Development, Science and Environmental Studies, Religion, IT, PE are
subjects included in first and second Grade.
Spanish, Maths, English, Geography, History, Art,
Personal and Social Development, Science and Environmental Studies,
Religion, IT, PE are subjects included in third, fourth, fifth and sixth
Grade.
Teaching for Understanding (TFU) has been implemented at
Fleming. By building understanding students are able to know how, where
or when to use their knowledge. The Units of each subject (one or two
per bimester) are designed according to the TFU elements: Generative
Topics, Understanding Goals, Understanding Performances, and Outgoing
Assessments.
Diary and
Message Notebook
The
Diary (3rd to 4th Grade) and Message Notebook (1st
to 2nd) Grade) are important means of communication with
parents. The students write the homework in it. Tutor, teachers and
parents can also write messages to each other in it. Parents have to
sign it at the end of each week and tutors have to sign it once a week,
too.
First and
Second Grade Assemblies
Interesting
and educational assemblies for first and second grade students are held
throughout the year. Each class takes a turn to share their work with
the other classes. This allows them to practise presentation skills.
Special
certificates are also given to students who get 30 merit points.
“Your children deserve the very best.”
