The ability to read and write, and to perform basic operations with numbers, is a necessary foundation and indispensable prerequisite for all future school and lifelong learning. Research evidence points to the significant impact that home environment has on children’s academic learning. Collaboration with parents is an essential ingredient in optimising learning, regardless of parents’ literacy, numeracy, or educational status. Parents will be asked to meet with their children’s teachers at regular intervals and even more often if they wish to do so, or as needed, in order to help track, encourage, and optimize their children’s learning. Teachers will also regularly give take-home worksheets, activities, or assignments to be completed in collaboration with parents to further develop parental involvement in children’s schoolwork, learning, and progress. In this way we can make child socially and emotionally competent.
It aims to teach young children alphabets, numbers, basic communication in the local language/mother tongue and other languages. colours, shapes, sounds, movement, games, elements of drawing, painting, music, and the local arts, as well as various socio-emotional skills such as curiosity, patience, teamwork, cooperation, interaction, and empathy required for school-preparedness. The framework would also include suggestions regarding exercises, puzzles, colouring books, connect-the-dots drawings, stories, rhymes, songs, games, etc. that would help in developing children in the Foundational Stage in a holistic way.
Children learn languages most quickly during the foundational Stage of 3-8 years. Because learning languages is an extremely important aspect of children’s cognitive development-a key part of the Framework will be aimed at instilling excellent multilingual skills in children as early as is possible and developmentally appropriate.
At Hippo kids we provide special attention to each language and teach in a different style.
Phonics is a world leading English literacy method that teaches children how to read and write using phonics. Phonics is the science of sounds. Children learn the sounds of every letter in a fun and interactive way. Teaching is multi-sensory and active with fun actions, stories and songs.
Furthermore, children are taught to read the words by synthesizing or blending the sound together. It enables children to be a confident and independent readers at an early age.
In this way, every language that we taught to students has some methodology of teaching, every language has a different techniques to read and write and language is basically a sound in the form of words, phrases and sentences structured in a particular way.
The ability to read and write, and to perform basic operations with numbers, is a necessary foundation and indispensable prerequisite for all future school and lifelong learning.
On the curricular side, it will be extremely vital to introduce an increased focus on foundational literacy and numeracy - and generally on reading, writing, speaking, counting, arithmetic, and mathematical thinking - throughout the pre- school and primary curriculum. The dedication of specific hours daily, and regular events over the year, to activities involving these subjects has been found to be a successful method in exciting students to excel in these areas.
Dedicated mathematics and reading hours every day and an additional writing hour . The hours between breakfast and lunch may be the most effective time periods for these subjects.
Designated “language weeks” and “mathematics weeks” during the school year, where children will participate in a variety of activities and projects around languages and mathematics.
Regular “language melas” and “mathematics melas”, where children can participate and demonstrate their abilities in both of these subjects; this could become a community event involving parents, teachers, community members, and neighbouring schools.
Weekly language and mathematics-focused school assemblies; celebrations of writers’ and mathematicians’ anniversaries through language- and mathematics-related activities.
Weekly activities around the library, such as story-telling, theatre, group reading, writing, and display of original writings and other art by children.
Weekly fun puzzle-solving sessions that naturally inculcate logical and mathematical thinking. Regular activities that explore connections between “classroom mathematics” and “real-life mathematics.”
Physical development is when a child is actively involved in sports, physical endurance, movement of a body etc.
The purpose is to enhance the agility of a child, if the physical strength of a child enhances , it directly results into a mental well being and the behavior of a child.
In Hippo kids, we give special attention towards the physical development of a child hence engage them to various physical development activities and play. There are many instances where a child could not withstand to the basic strength that is needed for a day-to-day work, so we also encourage the parents to make themselves actively involved in physical development.
As we say, if a child gets exhausted due to day’s activity then only a child can sleep peacefully and it directly related to building immunity, endurance, strength of a child.
We encourage child in many physical activities, specially outdoor activities and visits to different places. Hippo kids currently has 3 grounds on rent and few garden playing area where we take children on a regular basis for various activities.
