I like to look and listen

I need to touch and try

I want to smell and sample

And ask the question why?

Give me time to wonder

To imagine and pretend

Space to run and bend and stretch

Share secrets with a friend

I want to hold and handle

I must play to understand

For I need to know so many things

To find out who I am

Planning

It is important to remember that the curriculum is everything that the child experiences and not just the programmed activities.

At St. Constantine's International school we use the Cambridge International Primary Programme which helps teachers develop skills and knowledge in young children.

Our objectives

Children need:

	To be able to read simple texts accurately and with understanding
	To develop a love and enthusiasm for language, books and reading.
	To be able to use interesting and appropriate vocabulary to communicate meaning when writing
	To be encouraged to communicate their ideas, feelings, experiences and need both verbally and non-verbally
	To use their mathematical skills to solve problems
	To begin to value the similarities and differences of others
	To enter into the world of imagination
	To develop ability to make choices and decisions
	To have knowledge of a range of computer technology resources

Parental involvement

Parental involvement is valued at St. Constantine's International School. A close partnership between parent and teacher can have a lasting effect on a child’s achievement. We encourage parents to share their expertise, in order to enhance the learning opportunities with the school. Our teachers are always at hand to talk with parents about any concerns and to share information on children’s progress and achievement.

Parent Consultations

A time is set aside at least four times a year for a more formal parent/teacher consultation. This is an opportunity for parents to look through the work that has been covered.

A report is compiled by the class teacher, at the end of each term, informing parents of progress that has been made, and targets that will be set for the coming term.

School Care

We offer an optional after school care facility for the pupils of the Infant classes. This is not always a formal teaching time but a time when the Infant equipment may be utilised. Activities such as the use of the playroom, computer, painting and swimming take place under teacher supervision. This service is provided at an additional cost above the normal school fees. It takes place on Mondays - Thursdays from 1:10 pm to 3:00 pm. Arrangements can be made for lunch.
