Primary Grade 1 – Grade 6

Al Murooj English School Curriculum

The Kindergarten section is based on the Early Year Foundation Stage of the British curriculum that supports the early learning and care approach.

Teachers at this stage adopt a thematic approach and involve children in a variety of well-supervised and planned structure-based activities. More formal activities are introduced in KG 1.

In KG 2, teachers have a flexible approach and several mini-topics are incorporated into the curriculum based on children’s interest and natural curiosity.

The Foundation Stage curriculum revolves around these seven areas:

Communication and Language

This area involves providing children with opportunities in a rich language environment. Students are able to express themselves and work on their confidence and skills.

Physical Development

This component involves providing active and interactive opportunities to students. Teachers also strive to develop coordination and polish fine motor skills and movement in children. There is a large play space to ensure students learn in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly caring and supportive staff work on child’s independence, interpersonal skills and wider learning goals.

Personal and Social-Emotional Development

This stage is about helping students focus on their social skills. Students are taught to manage their feelings and understand behaviour in a group.

Mathematics

Counting, use of numbers, understanding and simple calculations are taught in Mathematics. Students also learn about shapes, spaces and measurement.

Literacy

Students can link sounds and letters and start reading and writing. Students get access to a wide range of reading materials, including books and poems.

Expressive Art and Technology

This core segment is all about enabling thorough learning through the use of media and materials. Students get sufficient opportunities for testing their knowledge base and are encouraged to share their ideas, feelings and thoughts. This is made easier with activities related to art, dance, role-play, technology and design.

Assessment

Each learning and developing area is broken down into Early Learning Goals. Teachers assess the progress and achievement of students throughout the academic year. Teaching judgments are made by observing consistent and independent behaviour.

As children transition to higher grades, AMES empowers them with:

  • Physical and mental fitness training
  • Community-related activity
  • Parental involvement
  • Etiquette grooming
  • Quality Knowledge Management
  • Honing of life skills
  • Academic Excellence

AMES understands that there is a remarkable change in a student’s personality, intellectual capacity and behavioural patterns as he/she approaches senior grades. Hence, the primary school curriculum works on critical and lateral thinking. There is a significant focus on the interactive approach through group activities and hands-on activities. In ICT classes, technology is implemented to help develop an investigative mind. Children are encouraged to ask questions, and extra time is given for discussion of current events.

Academic Calender of Al Murooj English School
