Building Brighter Futures, One Lesson at a Time
In the advanced language arts curriculum for Grade 6, students delve into sophisticated reading skills, including inference, prediction, and analysis, across various genres like fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and plays. Engaging discussions foster critical thinking about texts, expanding vocabulary through reading and context clues. Language skills are refined with a focus on word origins, prefixes, suffixes, root words, and a comprehensive review of parts of speech. Sentence structure complexities are explored, covering subject-verb agreement, pronoun usage, and verb tenses.
In the Grade 5 science curriculum, students are introduced to the scientific method and inquiry, developing essential skills such as observation, measurement, data collection, and analysis. The course involves conducting simple experiments and investigations, exploring the structure and functions of cells, and delving into basic principles of microbiology. Students learn about microorganisms, their types, and their roles in the environment, understanding the hierarchical classification system of living organisms.
In the comprehensive Grade 6 mathematics curriculum, students explore various mathematical concepts, starting with the comparison of numbers using a number line and progressing to the representation of fractions and decimals on the number line. The curriculum covers the addition and subtraction of numbers, both with and without using a number line, and delves into the complexities of different types of fractions, including like and unlike fractions. Students tackle real-world applications, such as solving problems related to proportion, ratio, and direct and inverse proportion using unitary and proportion methods.
The Grade 6 geography curriculum provides students with a foundational understanding of key geographical concepts and their significance in our lives. Beginning with an exploration of the Earth’s structure, including the layers of the crust, mantle, and core, students learn about continents, oceans, and elements of weather. The factors influencing climate, such as latitude, altitude, and proximity to water bodies, are covered, along with the various types of climates around the world. The curriculum delves into population distribution, density, and growth, considering the impact on different types of settlements—rural, urban, and suburban.
The Grade 6 computer science curriculum introduces students to the fundamental concepts of computers and their applications. Beginning with an exploration of computer components, both hardware and software, students learn about input and output devices, the system unit, and the definition of data and information. The curriculum covers communication devices and the four basic operations performed by a computer. It then delves into the role of operating systems, introducing popular ones like Windows, macOS, and Linux. Emphasis is placed on the graphical user interface (GUI) and the importance of keeping the operating system updated for optimal performance and security.
The coding curriculum for students introduces the fundamental concepts and importance of coding in the modern world. It begins with an exploration of computational thinking, emphasizing problem-solving techniques crucial in coding. The curriculum covers algorithms, their role in programming, and introduces Scratch, a visual programming language. Students gain hands-on experience by creating basic animations, interactive stories, and simple games using Scratch, incorporating variables, logic statements, sequences, and loops.
