Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten
Hello Little Scientists! 

This weekly class incorporates the UK National Curriculum for Year 1 and the Next Generation Science Standards for Kindergarten to provide learners with a balanced and well rounded full year curriculum over 40 lessons! 

In this inquiry based class learners will make real world connections in a meaningful and engaging way. Inquiry based learning puts learners at the center of their education and encourages them to go further than simply remembering facts! In this class curious learners will be encouraged ask questions and participate in discussion drawing on their own experiences.

Class sizes are kept small to facilitate class discussions and conversations and ensure that all learners have a safe space to share! Some classes may require learners to bring something that relates to our topic of the week. For example when exploring materials learners may bring something that is hard and something that is soft. Some classes may have a simple hands on activity such as "Does it float or sink?". Any hands on activity will require minimal preparation and commonly found household items. You will receive a supply list if needed on the Monday before class starts.

Each class will also come with a worksheet - in some classes this will be completed during the class and for some classes it can be completed outside of class. Worksheets are kept simple so they can be easily replicated by grownups if you cannot or do not wish to print! 

At the end of each class a challenge or home activity will be set in order to take their learning further. Challenge may be in the form of a science experiment, a scavenger hunt, or an observation! During class time we will work together to decide on our challenge of the week!

A typical class may look like this: 
- Welcome and Greetings
- We are Scientists! - A  quick look into what it means to be an inquisitive scientist!
- Content Learning and Discussion - Real life objects and PowerPoint presentations will be used to facilitate this! 
- Activity (game, quiz, worksheet)
- Taking it Further! - Challenge for the week to apply or further the learning from the class!
-Wrap Up and Goodbye!
