What does a typical lesson look like?

A blackboard with colorful chalk drawings of stars and a message stating the day's activities: practicing writing words with ay, ai, ey, a-e, and eigh; learning about conjunctions; playing a conjunction game; and reading 'The Snail and the Whale'.

How are lessons structured?

Lessons lengths range from 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1 hour.

Every lesson starts with a check in: how is your child doing today? What did they do at school? Developing a good relationship with children is paramount to a positive learning environment.

Then the learning objectives are shared with your child. Activities are displayed to your child and they will decide the order they would like to complete them, thus giving your child ownership over their own learning.

As we complete activities, they are ticked off; giving children a sense of achievement throughout. At the end of the lesson we revisit the learning objectives, discuss what we covered and if there are any activities we will finish in the next lesson.

What kind of activities will my child do?

Educational poster titled "Plurals" showing three illustrations with corresponding singular and plural words: a wolf family with the word "wolves," a set of knives with the word "knives," and three loaves of bread with the word "loaves."
A page from a math workbook showing fractions and their conversions. The first part illustrates that four one-thirds make a whole, and demonstrates converting eight thirds to a mixed number, with a bar model of eight one-thirds. The second part asks to convert one and three-fifths to an improper fraction using pie charts, with partially filled circles shown.
Four questions with images and answer options: Legos with a question about how many Legos Hugh has after losing some, muffins with a question about how many muffins Con baked, grass with a question about earning money cutting grass, and crayons with a question about comparing the number of crayons James and Alex have.
An educational game screen with ice floes and instructions for spelling rules. Each ice floe has a blackboard with text, such as 'Drop e then add ed', 'Double consonant then add ed', 'Change y to i and add ed', 'Just add ed', and 'Do something different'. The center ice floe has the word 'clap' in large text. The top right displays a score of 0 and a progress bar, with a yellow 'Back' button in the top left.
Children and trolls on a stone bridge over a stream. Trolls are hiding under the bridge and sitting on the bridge. One troll is sitting on the bridge, another is leaning on the bridge wall. Two children, a boy with blonde hair and a girl with dark hair and a bow, are talking to the trolls.

Depending on the age and subject, activities will be tailored to meet your child’s needs.

Sometimes learning will be explained on the whiteboard. Sometimes your child will watch a video.

Learning will also take place through games, quizzes, problem solving and puzzles. A lot of time is spent researching and planning interactive tools which are fun, engaging and educational for your child.

Quite often children have the chance to showcase their learning through a piece of writing, making a video recording or even making their own game or quiz! These will be sent to parents regularly. Click the link below to have a look at the gallery of great work!
