SUBJECTS DETAILS
Science, History, Geography and Cultural Studies are included in this general area, which comprises our main afternoon curriculum. Where possible, we look at topicsof immediate relevance, whether it be an astronomical event, such as a lunar eclipse, a festival, such as Chinese New Year, or the school’s site as home todifferent kinds of creature. The study of culture may involve looking at differentreligious traditions. It should be understood that this is strictly in an observational sense and no attempt is made to impose any form of belief upon our pupils. Religious Education became a compulsory element within the school curriculum in the U.K. in 1944, and has maintained its place not least in recognition of the need to foster understanding and tolerance between different cultural communities.
From mastering the alphabet and phonics to acquiring skills in reading fiction and nonfiction, developing abilities in writing stories and descriptions in accurate English, and finding self-confidence in participating in dramatic presentations, we cover all the requirements of the British National Curriculum at kindergarten and primary level. While we acknowledge the forms of the language that are employed within the USA for illustrative purposes, it is the English that is identified with the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth that we teach our children and require them to master.
Also part of the our afternoon programme, art and design gives our children the opportunity to attempt, for example, imitations of great artists’ work or to try their hand at something more technical, such as redesigning the Titanic to have increased passengers' chances of survival. Numerous other activities involve creative use of glue, paper, cardboard, pencil, crayons, paint and scissors in varying degrees!
This subject is also known as Arithmetic. Children progress from recognition of numbers and learning to count to employing their evolving abilities in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in increasingly complex and varied contexts
We teach our children life skills, such as personal hygiene and organisation, good manners, co-operation with and respect for others, nutritional facts and environmental awareness, in a continuous process throughout the school day.
We believe that exercise is vital to any young person’s development in both body and mind, and that team games especially teach co-operation and tactical skills. On most mornings, we include a P.E. lesson for all classes between break and lunchtime.

HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
We are a health-conscious school and, aside from teaching personal hygiene, and including regular exercise in our curriculum, we provide fresh fruit at morning break upon request and discourage snacks that are artificially flavoured or sweetened, or with high levels of salt, starch or saturated fat. We also ask that no food is brought to school in a styrofoam (polystyrene) container. In addition, children are given a lunch that is nourishing and sustaining. It is cooked on the premises and is consumed by staff and pupils alike. An adequate amount of vegetable especially is included in the meal. Our assistant teachers have the responsibility of ensuring children eat enough, and also closely supervise naptime so that every child is refreshed and ready for afternoon school.
We take environmental issues very seriously, not only recycling aluminium, plastic, paper and cardboard, but teaching our children to separate these items accordingly and to help in keeping the school site clean and tidy. This will lead, we hope, with the related material we teach in our curriculum, to their playing their part in looking after the planet one day!
