| Infants
(5 - 7 years)
In Greenfields' Infant classes the children build on the foundations
laid in the reception class. It is here that reading and writing
really start to take off and the children move rapidly through the
reading scheme books.
They are given many opportunities to write and take pride in presenting
a neat piece of work. Maths is taught traditionally with emphasis
on knowing and understanding basic arithmetic.
The more academic lessons are held in the mornings while the children
are freshest and the afternoons are used for sport and projects.
The teacher selects topics which will interest the children and
which can be used as a springboard for art, craft and drama as well
as an opportunity to practise the academic skills learned in the
mornings.
