Subjects
PRACTICAL LIFE
In the Practical Life area, children carry out familiar home activities, such as sweeping, polishing, dusting, pouring, preparing foods, etc. These activities are designed to help the child achieve independence and confidence through meaningful activity with real life objects; they help develop co-ordination, concentration, independence, hand dexterity, care of one's self and environment, patience and grace and courtesy.
SENSORIAL MATERIAL
The Sensorial Material allows the child to understand his environment while leaming through his senses. Each piece of material has one isolating quality, such as colour, weight, size, shape, texture, sound, smell, etc., which enables the child to take in impressions with true understanding and gives purpose, order and structure to his/her leaming.
Montessori materials are didactic and allow the child to see his/her mistakes and correct them, which develops perseverance and a positive self-image and attitude towards mistakes.
LANGUAGE
At The School of Modern Montessori, many activities are designed to proceed naturally towards the development of skills for reading and writing. The child first learns the phonetic sound of the letters, which leads to building short phonetic words, he/she progresses at his/her own pace to reading longer phonetic words and is finally introduced to the different parts of grammar.
MATHEMATICS
The child is introduced to Mathematics through the use of concrete materials. By working with the specially designed materials, he/she learns the physical quantities and matching abstract symbols.
The child always works from the concrete to the abstract. By working with concrete materials, the child can see and understand the operations of Addition, Multiplication, Subtraction and Division. A solid foundation is formed for Algebra and Geometry through working with concrete materials.
CULTURAL SUBJECTS
We introduce the children to Cultural Subjects (Geography, History, Botany, Zoology, Science, Music and Art) to help feed their imagination and understanding of the real world during the time that they are most sensitive to them, which enables them to understand their role and the fact that they are part of the whole system.
EXTRA MURALS
SWIMMING
The swimming season begins in the third or fourth term, depending on the weather and continues until the end of the first term. There are two lessons per week, held on Monday and Wednesday momings. The cost of two lessons per week is R100.00 per month, payable in advance. Please make your cheques payable to Zelia Goodman.
HORSE RIDING
Horse riding lessons take place at Byerley Park Stables, 111 Hilton Road, Linbro Park, on Monday afternoons at 1.30pm. We will take and collect the children from the stables. Private and group lessons are available from qualified instructors. The cost of a 30 minute group lesson is R25.00 (R22.50 if paid monthly in advance). The cost of a 30 minute private lesson is R30.00 (R27.50 if paid monthly in advance). Please make your cheques payable to Joan Harmsen.
DANCE
Natasha Katz teaches ballet and modern dance, following the Imperial Society of Teachers and Dancers syllabus, on Tuesday mornings. The cost of one lesson per week is R135.00 per term payable in advance. Please make your cheques payable to Natasha Katz.
JOLLYTOTS
Children step eagerly into the world of dance and gymnastics. This is a program that teaches the child the importance of body awareness, control, timing, co-ordination and the language of movement. Pupils will explore body parts through isolations, stretches, bends, twists, swings and sways. They will turn their favourite activities such as running, leaping, hopping, skipping and sliding into expression and entertainment. The cost is R80 per month for one lesson per week. Please make your cheques payable to Siemone Greig.
KARATE
Karate lessons are held every Thursday at 2.OOpm. Each lesson is 45 minutes, which means that half day children will need to be collected at 2.45pm instead of l.OOpm. The cost is R140.00 per term, payable in advance. Please make your cheques payable to Les Stevens.
TENNIS
The International Tennis Academy conduct their mini-tennis programme on Friday mornings. For pre-school pupils, the cost of one 30 minute lesson per week is R180.00 per term, plus an initial cost of R20.00 for the "Winning Through Objectives" book and R60.00 for a mini-tennis racquet. For lower primary pupils the cost of one 45 minute lesson per week is R280.00 per term. Please make your cheques payable to the International Tennis Academy.
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SWIMMING, THE MINIMUM AGE FOR EXTRA MURAL ACTIVITIES IS THREE YEARS.
