Aim High Progress Study Programme
FS2 moving to Year 1
Dear Parents, In our continued endeavour to engage and enrich our students’ learning we have developed the Aim High Progress Study Programme (AHPSP) for your child to work on over the summer vacation. The aim of this programme is to keep students in ‘learning mode’ so that they continue to make progress without any summer learning loss. Our Aim high summer programme is designed to help students develop values like sustainability, tolerance, morals, values and character through integrated curriculum and community partnerships. The AHPSP involves Project Based Learning (PBL) which is an approach to education that emphasizes hands on learning with real life implications and independent research skills to find a solution and present in different ways using variety of tools. As your child is moving from FS 2 to Year 1, you can look at the Family Learning Newsletters for Year 1 and learn, in advance, about the learning modules, which will be covered in the coming academic year. Please find the below links for Family Learning Newsletter: https://www.thewinchesterschool.com/for-parents/family-learning-newsletters/ These are also very useful for new parents. For example, if your child has completed FS 2 in another school, you can look over the Family learning newsletter for FS 2 and map your child’s existing learning to what has been completed at The Winchester School, Jebel Ali thus avoiding any gaps. We hope you will be able to use all these valuable learning resources to support and enrich your child in reaching their full potential. The Winchester School deeply values ‘Parents as Partners in Learning’. Wish you all a very happy and blessed holidays. Enjoy with family and friends. The school will re-open for NEW students on Monday, 29th August 2022 and for all existing students from Tuesday, 30th August 2022. Warm Regards, Jaya Paliwal Head of Primary
Aim High Progress Study Programme In the Aim High Summer Programme, we have included project based activities that add an artistic or creative element to the learning. These activities will promote research, enquiry and analytical thinking during the process of design thinking and problem solving. STREAM learning will happen naturally and students will develop High Performance Learning Skills everyday as they do the designed activities; engage in discussions with friends and family members; establish links or connections with real life; check outcomes; make corrections or modification; research; play, explore and try new things. Due Date of Submission: 12th September 2022 In Science, children will learn about ‘Plants’ and explore more about the world around them. Science activities will help them incorporate their numeracy skills (Maths) through sorting and language skills (English) through description based tasks. Children will enjoy exploring scientific concepts and will be delighted in applying their newly acquired skills. Learning Objective: • To identify and name a variety of common wild and garden plants. • To measure the length of the plant at different stages. • To identify and describe the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, including trees.
