PP2

Learning & Development

Learning Experiences

Theme-based lessons combine stories, songs, experiments, games and art. Children work in pairs and groups and begin longer, more focused activities.

School Readiness

We build independence — managing belongings, following instructions, focusing on tasks and expressing needs — so children start Grade 1 confident and capable.

Communication

Learners speak in full sentences, retell stories, recite poems, and begin reading simple words and writing letters and their names.

Numeracy

Counting and writing numbers, simple addition and subtraction with objects, patterns, shapes, time and money in everyday contexts.

Creative Activities

Art, craft, music, dance and drama — PP2 learners often perform at school events and festivals.

Social Development

Learners take on small classroom responsibilities, practise kindness and teamwork, and learn to resolve disagreements respectfully.

Environmental Awareness

Caring for plants and the school compound, hygiene habits, weather and seasons, and learning about the community around us — including educational trips.

Assessment Approach

Assessment in the Early Years is gentle and continuous. Teachers observe children during play and activities, keep portfolios of their work, and use checklists to track development in each activity area. Parents receive termly progress reports describing their child's growth.
