Grade 00
4 – 5 Years
In Grade 00 we are focused on developing each child emotionally, socially, academically and spiritually. We do creative activities which help develop their fine motor skills. Outdoor play to develop gross motor skills is important in this class.
Educational and perceptual activities will form part of their weekly program. Numeracy skills are taught where they learn to count, identify numbers and also organize objects according to size, shape and colour. The language area includes descriptive language, vocabulary enrichment and Letterland (phonics).
