deals with the following aspects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cognitive maturation<\/strong>, stimulated by challenges and amazing experiences that are offered in relaxed and happy surroundings, via specific methods and resources.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Language<\/strong> develops in all areas of the curriculum and in daily school life. Children are encouraged in the learning and use of both oral and written language.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>approach to mathematics<\/strong> is experience and manipulation based, in order to help the students develop mathematical thinking which is linked to the world around them, so that they might understand and integrate it more effectively. We use a combination of methods, such as Unifix, <em>Regletas<\/em> and Numicon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Arts and crafts. <\/strong>Using the observation of their surroundings, in addition to different materials and techniques, the children are helped in both their sensorial and motor skills development.<\/li>\n<li>Via <strong>music<\/strong>, the children work on the control of their voices and bodies, rhythm, paying attention, the English language and group fun.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>celebration of various festivals and traditions<\/strong> gives the students a more profound knowledge and understanding of both their own and Anglosaxon culture.<\/li>\n<li>Carrying out <strong>experiments<\/strong> with water and other materials, then observing and verifying the results, our students playing at being little scientists. For this, we base ourselves in the Science <em>Projecte 6\/12<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Psychomotor education<\/strong> is an important aspect at this age. Working on coordination and spacial awareness, the boys and girls gain confidence and acquire new abilities. At the same time, they develop the capacity to overcome and to play in a team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Personal autonomy<\/strong> is encouraged from the very first day, which results in security and independence. This promotes management skills and self-esteem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Emotional intelligence and values<\/strong> at this stage are worked on by learning to recognise and express their own emotions and, likewise, to recognise and respect the emotions of others. All of this is aimed at developing social skills, dealing with frustrations and acquiring good emotional management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order to carry out these educational goals, it is essential to first establish some <u>house rules<\/u>, adapted to the level of each age, but acknowledged and respected by all. It is the framework which permits us development and satisfactory learning.<\/p>\n<p>The <u>consolidation of habits and learning<\/u> at this stage will prepare them to progress to Primary level.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-5ea7596238ed9f191e6b5e662093052f\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-5ea7596238ed9f191e6b5e662093052f{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-5ea7596238ed9f191e6b5e662093052f hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_button '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-av_button-a25362e3651fdab44f8dc33595f69b8e-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/academysantaclaus.com\/en\/primary-education\/'  class='avia-button av-av_button-a25362e3651fdab44f8dc33595f69b8e avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'  ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Primary Education<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":220,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/academysantaclaus.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/551"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/academysantaclaus.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/academysantaclaus.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academysantaclaus.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/academysantaclaus.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/academysantaclaus.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/551\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1026,"href":"https:\/\/academysantaclaus.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/551\/revisions\/1026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/academysantaclaus.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
