Grade Three

Grade 3 is an exciting and unique experience for young learners!

We provide a balanced, interesting and challenging programme which builds on the firm foundations developed in Grade 1 and Grade 2 and prepares our young learners for admission to the Senior Primary Phase of their education.

It is a very busy year of fun, new experiences and challenges:

• Lessons such as Computer Science, Design & Tech, Art and Media Studies are taught in small groups of approx 10 learners by specialist teachers thus ensuring individual attention and competency.
• It is in Grade 3 that our young learners are offered their first opportunities to play in inter-school fixtures in sports such as Rugby, Cricket and Hockey thus ensuring both the development of essential skills and healthy sportsmanship.
• Learners are given the opportunity to attend Club Activities after school and are able to choose between Art and Craft, Cookery and Chess for three terms of the year.
• A highlight of the year’s activities is the Grade 3 Concert which is presented every year during the fourth term.
• As part of our Outreach programme, our Grandparents and residents of local Senior Citizens Homes are invited to a special production of the concert followed by a delicious morning tea.
• This is the first year in which our learners, in addition to several day outings relevant to theme work, enjoy their first overnight excursion – an occasion which is feared by many but is always successful and provides the necessary preparation for longer excursions and Sport Tours in the future.
