We deliver each topic orally, physically, rhythmically and visually. This means that children enjoy learning and remember what they have learnt.
Learning By Doing
We remember 5% of what we hear and 95% of what we do.
The teacher and the students work together to 'do' the subject by acting it,
drawing it, miming it or moving it; rhyming it or singing it.

Raising Excitement and Involvement in Subjects
In a revolutionary way children are taught by experts in each subject.
Using the body to reinforce the mind
The body is a tremendous learning resource.
Acting out a concept enhances memory and promotes understanding.
Stimulating the Imagination
Role-play, music, story-telling and drama stimulate the imagination
and broaden skills and confidence. Children learn to appreciate others
and enjoy working together as a team.
Using the senses
The combination of practical left-brain skills and creative
right-brain
skills can increase the effective IQ by up to 10 percent.
Capitalising on Strengths and Motivations
A child who receives applause at Assembly for her fine flute-playing
enters her maths lesson with a sense of achievement which spills
into her next learning experience.
Responding to Natural Concentration Spans
Concentration and application do not come in 40 minute bites.
Flexible lesson times ensure that learning and concentration coincide.
We make sure that the curriculum is covered but we do not teach a
one-hour lesson if the job has been done in 20 minutes.
Individualised Learning Techniques
75% of us learn best through movement, music or visualization.
The children are allowed to learn in the way that best suits them.
Many cope well with reading and writing, while some prefer
to use more concrete methods. Others need to experiment in a
non-threatening way, for instance using whiteboards and pens until
they have the confidence to commit their ideas to paper.
