From the Primary School Principal

The Primary at Pathways School, Noida is abuzz with many pre termers  beginning to feel at home at Pathways. We believe in e-learning, assessment for learning and habits of mind as core elements of our class room learning. Our students are encouraged to reflect, collaborate and give feedback on each other’s learning. Engagement, reflection and collaboration are at the heart of what we in Primary do. This is what we are sharing with our preterm students at all levels.

Form 5, 4 and 3 pre termers are busy reading and writing stories with Ms Sana on the ORT story writers CD. (E-learning)

Form 2 and 1 are busy with recapitulating Jolly Phonics. Its stories and characters to link with letter sounds and make reading and writing easier. For this smart boards are used extensively.

Kindergarteners and Nursery students are learning to sing, dance, play ,swim, horse ride and read as many books from the Ort series as they can.

Apart from this they are all engaged with the last enquiry of the year and are learning to reflect collaboratively on their queries and understanding.

The Parents Teacher meet was well attended and I am very happy to share that almost all parents, I interacted with, are satisfied with the growth they see in their children.

A Russian group from the Ishara Puppet Festival were invited to perform Masha and the Bear’ for the Primary in the atrium. The students not only enjoyed the show but had fun exploring the puppets. These are some of the ways we bring the outside World into our school for students to learn from.

We are looking forward to the Rhyme Time Day on the 19th where we get to see the Early Learners sing, dance, recite and enact plays for their parents.
