PRIMARY online
“In a time of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists,” Eric Hoffer.The Daily 6
All Primary children must have a balanced learning ‘diet’ and to achieve this,
we have introduced ‘The Daily 6’ to all of their schedules.
Aim for 20-30 minutes per day on all 6 - except Zoom which is as per class timetable.
1. Zoom sessions
(for class meetings and live video-conference lessons)
2. Lalilo or Headsprout
(daily literacy practice)
3. Khan Academy
(for daily math lessons and practice)
4. Kids A-Z
(daily independent reading)
5. Work in SeeSaw
(Science, Global Perspectives and other work)
6. Physical Activity
(Children always need it!)
By apportioning teaching and learning time effectively we aim for the children to have ample opportunities to learn with the teacher, with their peers, and independently.
The Daily 6 allow children to focus on a range of subjects and skill areas including but not limited to literacy, numeracy, physical education, science, global perspectives and their social-emotional development.
