LOWER PRIMARY

LOWER PRIMARY SCHOOL

For our lower primary (Grade 1-3), we have incorporated e-learning extensively as part of our plan to develop leaders that are versatile and agile in environments that are changing quickly and unpredictably. We believe that a conversance with technology aids students in their learning by opening them up to more innovative ways of thinking, learning, and executing what they learn. The academic program is organized on a block schedule as outlined in the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC). Twelve learning areas are allocated across a well-planned timetable which ensures a range of activities are learned each day. The learning areas are:

• Mathematics activities
• English language activities
• Literacy activities
• Kiswahili activities
• Environmental Activities
• Hygiene and Nutrition
• Religious activities Christian or Islamic Religious Activity(CRE or IRE)
• Movement and Creative Activities (PE lesson (s), art, music and craft)
• French Activities
• Computer studies (ICT)
• Handwriting
• PPI (Pastoral Instruction)
• Library lesson
• Story telling

Assemblies are conducted on Monday and Friday; class meetings are conducted every Wednesday and Pastoral sessions on Tuesday with Mass happening on Thursdays. The academic year runs from January to November with two short holidays in April and August. The November and December holiday are the longest. This is in line with the school calendar as advised by the Ministry of Education. The beginning of an academic year in January signifies transition to a new grade.
