Dear Parents and Guardians,

Let us begin with a very warm welcome to the new academic year of 2013-2014. Hoping that you all had a refreshing summer break and your children are just as eager to start the academic session as much as I am. As the  appointed form tutors of Grade 6,I feel a great deal of enthusiasm to be a part of a class full of graduating students who would be engaged in an in-depth, collaborative inquiry about issues related to their personal interest, at the end of the year. We will learn about the world around us. We will talk about problem-solving and working together. Exploring science, math, social studies, literacy, writing, creative art, drama, music, movement and much more will fill our busy days.

   

  We at AKAH, harness a student’s curiosity with planned and resourceful facilitation. Through their learning journey, the students are taken through field trips, interact with guest speakers, research about their topic of study and at the end analyse and reflect on their own individual learning. Assessments are primarily aimed to locate the child’s position in the learning meter and eventually fine-tune short term goals. We request your encouragement and supervision when your child needs to use the internet for completion of his research or interview a neighbour to gather information, at home. Personal hygiene and appropriate attire goes a long way in improving ones self-organisation, so please send your child/children in neat and clean uniform.

We believe that parent involvement benefits a student’s academic achievement, increases motivation for learning and develops a positive attitude about homework. We solicit your participation in your child’s learning journey at all times. Kindly sign parent notes that are sent as and when needed. You are welcome to participate, interact and share in the learning journey of your child in more than one ways. Please contact the JS Principal, should you wish to involve yourself.
