ACADEMICS AT AMATUS KIDS ACADEMY ECD

OUR OFFERING

Amatus Kids Academy is an Early Childhood Development facility that follows the CAPS Curriculum.

The Grade R syllabus encompasses Language, Mathematics, and Life Orientation. Its purpose is to equip children for both the CAPS and International British Curriculum. Each subject follows a well-structured lesson plan prepared by expert teachers. Students can attend live online classes and access a comprehensive library of recorded lessons, helpful for addressing any challenges they may encounter in specific topics. 

Grade R Subjects

At this level, Grade R students are introduced to Language, Mathematics, and Life Orientation through integrated play-based activities, ensuring that they have fun while learning.

Grade R Mathematics

The CambriLearn Grade R Mathematics course builds knowledge related to numbers, patterns, shapes, measurement, and graphs, while also fostering essential everyday skills like estimation, accuracy, and problem-solving.

This course aims to lead and assist students in acquiring and showcasing crucial knowledge and skills pertaining to these three topics. It serves as the bedrock for their future mathematical journey.

Within the CambriLearn Grade R Mathematics course, there are fun and engaging, lessons and activities designed to enhance the following skills in the mathematics curriculum:

  • Numbers, operations, and relationships

  • Patterns and functions

  • Shape and space

  • Measurement

  • Data handling

Grade R Life Orientation

Life orientation plays a pivotal role in nurturing the overall development of students, encompassing their social, personal, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth, while emphasising the integration of these aspects into daily practices. 

This subject's primary objective is to guide and equip students for life's challenges and opportunities, empowering them to lead meaningful and successful lives in a dynamically changing society.

The CambriLearn Life Orientation course exposes students to a diverse range of knowledge, skills, and values that foster their holistic growth and wellbeing.

Grade R Language

The CambriLearn Grade R Language course focuses on essential language skills, emphasising listening, speaking, and reading. Students beginning their reading and writing journey learn sound blending, decoding unfamiliar words by breaking them down into sounds, and reading simple stories. 

‍This comprehensive approach enhances listening comprehension, communication, and reading abilities, fostering a strong foundation for literacy development. Through carefully designed activities and gradual progression, students gain valuable skills to confidently express themselves and engage with written language. This approach cultivates a lifelong passion for communication and literacy.

Grade R courses end with a progression test. A successful pass will enable the student to progress to the next grade.

As we continuously strive to improve your child’s experience at the Academy, we have introduced our Cambrilearn programme in our preschool and Foundation Phase classes.

 

The CambriLearn programme is an online school program, using the CAPS curriculum which is also a theme-based curriculum tailored specifically to each of your child’s everyday experiences. It is a curriculum that is widely used for the foundation years and provides a structured learning approach throughout all the classes. The programme has clearly defined milestones that we encourage all of our children to reach throughout the year.

 

While this curriculum allows our children to develop naturally, it also provides a very balanced foundation. It allows your child to enjoy the various fun activities throughout the day.

 

Through play, children learn what no one can teach them. They are able to develop skills such as independence, resourcefulness, curiosity, creativity and responsibility. Play is a child’s work!

 

Our Academy provides age- appropriate areas for dramatic play, arts and crafts, science and nature and discovery, sensory exploration and block play, shelf toys, puzzles, fine motor and books. Our gross motor activities and outdoor play provide opportunities for running and jumping and the development of gross motor skills through our Tumbling Tigerz and Body Rock dance programs.

 

During free play the children can choose their own activities according to their interests. The daily schedule is available for your viewing in each of the classes.

 

Creative projects are filed in their file. This file gets sent home at the end of the year. We do however send ‘masterpieces’ home regularly with your child. Please watch for these. Take it home to enjoy with them. They are very proud to share.

 

Morning ring takes place every morning and is presented in each classroom in micro-groups. These micro-groups are very beneficial, as they allow our teachers to give more one-on-one attention to our children. During ring time we focus on our weekly theme, literacy and numeracy. We make these lessons as fun and concrete as possible.
