Keeping Children Home: Please note our policies about what to do in case of illness or recovery.
by Rebekah O'Brien
We are thankfully coming to the end of Winter, but that doesn’t mean the germs go away, of course. Along with making sure our students are consistently washing their hands and dressing properly for the weather, we wanted to ask a favor of you. If your child is too ill to go out for the play breaks or if he/she is recovering from an illness and would not be well enough for the play breaks, please keep your child at home. Chances are they would benefit more from staying home and fully recovering rather than coming to school and possibly extending or sharing the illness.
Another safety issue of children not going out for play breaks is that they cannot always be supervised if they stay inside for a play break. According to our Health & Safety policy, we have two teachers supervising the play break after lunch. If the weather is too harsh for being outside, the teachers on duty heat the tent and hold play break inside of the tent. Children still dress for the outdoors since the tent is not as warm as the school. All children should be outside (or in the tent) during this break since there will be nobody to supervise them in the hallways or classrooms. This is because it is often the only time during the day for the teachers not on play break duty to take a short break for eating lunch, using the WC, preparing materials for the afternoon, etc. Therefore, to uphold our Health & Safety Policies, the only place for children to be supervised during the break is outside (or in the tent) with the teachers who are on duty.
We completely understand if a child needs more time to recuperate. In this case, it would be best to keep him/her at home until they are well enough for the whole day’s activities, including the play breaks. Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding in this. We strive for ISO to be a happy, healthy place for all!
They will gain perfect knowledge of English.
Your child will become a global citizen with wide understanding of local and international topics.
We put a strong emphasis on the development on subject specific skills rather than on acquisition of knowledge.
Emphasis on skills development (not just memorising).
Individual approach; school’s ability to motivate for improvement.
Your child will be excited to come to school.
You are not buying success, you are paying for the school to monitor your child’s progress to their goals and motivate them to fulfil their potential.
We are not a selective school: we believe that everybody can be successful.
Jolly Phonics is an engaging way to teach children pre -reading and pre -writing skills using phonics. Phonics is the teaching of the sounds that letters make, rather than the names of letters that are taught in the alphabet, because it is the sounds that are useful for reading and writing, not the names. These sounds are taught in a systematic way, alongside all of the skills needed for being a fluent reader and writer in future. Jolly Phonics also teaches all of this in a fun and engaging way, through characters, stories, actions, songs and games! To read more about Jolly Phonics, clickhere.
ORT is a reading scheme which has been developed to help children learn to read from the age of 4. This scheme is used by a vast majority of preschools and schools in the UK and around the world.ORT includes popular characters and illustrations such as Biff, Chip and Kipper, Floppy, Wordless Stories and easy regular word books to capture children’s imagination and interest and help them develop their pre reading skills. It is an excellent way to practise the skills learned through the Jolly Phonics Programme..
Cambridge Primary ENGLISH promotes an enquiry-based approach, developing learners’ confidence, creativity and intellectual engagement. Learners develop English skills that they can apply to a range of different purposes and audiences in everyday situations and in study.
We teach English as a first language. Pupils that are only starting to learn English or need some additional support are allocated to our intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) programme.
More about Cambridge Primary EnglishCambridge Primary MATHEMATICS focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject. Knowing your times tables facts without practical application and without developing alongside some good problem solving skills is not that helpful - in our school, we make sure our pupils know why they are learning it and how they can use the specific knowledge and skill.
