Awareness of language is key in this year as your child takes his or her first steps in learning the English language. At Nursery 2, we focus on building learning readiness in our students. Find out more.

Writing
In class, students are given an introduction to the alphabet, writing strokes, and will learn how to differentiate between upper case and lower case letters. Students also learn about logical sequencing of events with the aid of pictures.

Reading
Students develop pre-reading skills, with a focus in class on:
• sound units
• beginning letter sounds
• two-letter word families
• sight words

Comprehension, Listening and Speaking
Students build on their comprehension, listening and speaking skills in class through:
• verbal discussions of pictures
• articulation of responses to direct and opinion-based questions
• interactive storytelling sessions

Vocabulary
Students build on their vocabulary foundation with a weekly thematic vocabulary based on parts of speech such as nouns and adjectives.

Contextualised Learning
Students engage in a series of interactive activities, games and craft designed to hone their motor skills and aid them in their social and emotional development. Students are also exposed to a wide range of themes that centre around them and their interaction with the world. Key topics of interest include:
• places of interest
• etiquette
• hobbies and activities
