This stage consists of three core subjects Mathematics, English and science together with Information Communication Technology (ICT) and the foundation subjects of Geography, History, Design technology, Art, Music, Physical Education (PE) and Swimming.
In addition to these subjects, we also teach French from Year 2. Maths and English are taught each day through numeracy and literacy lessons and the foundation subjects are taught through IPC which arranges subject content into topics. Specialist teachers deliver French, Music, PE, Swimming and ICT lessons.
We believe that a firm understanding of how the English language works and a solid understanding of the number system provide a strong foundation for all other areas of learning. We place great store on the clear teaching of reading strategies, enabling children to become fluent and enthusiastic readers.
In Numeracy there is emphasis on identifying patterns and relationships which underpin mathematical understanding. Children often work in groups as well as individually.
In Year 3 Students join a new experience within Key Stage 3. Regular and effective daily English and Mathematics teaching introduces children to new learning and to new ways of learning. Children will build on and consolidate their learning through practical work, practice and the opportunity to use their learning to solve problems and puzzles. Teachers provide planned opportunities for children to develop and apply their learning in other areas of the curriculum and beyond.
The children will be introduced to new activities and concepts which will require a greater concentration and increasing independence.
Just like in other year groups Children learn in whole-class, group, paired and individual sessions. During some learning, there will be opportunities for mixed groups across the year group. Each child is encouraged to reach their potential.
In Year 4 Teachers carry on with the student centered approach. Teachers carry out summative assessments every half term in form of projects or more traditional tests. This is not only limited to year 4 but cuts across to the other year groups.
Our Personal goals are Adaptability, Communication Cooperation, Enquiry, Morality, Resilience, Respectfulness and Thoughtfulness. The Personal Goals are at the centre of the qualities we teach in the classroom, and we want our children to display to be the most successful learners possible. As well as the personal goals we strive for our children to be independent, effective communicators and self-confident. Children at RISU are given every opportunity to develop into creative and critical thinkers, and instill a love of learning to become life-long learners.
In Year 5 Just like other year groups, personal responsibility is encouraged among all students which they carry on through year 6 to secondary school.
Student do Music lessons among others focusing on learning through creating music. The curriculum is designed to ensure children progress at a smooth but accelerated pace – all children are innately musical and all are able to succeed with the right guidance and support. There are opportunities for interested or talented children to have music or singing lessons as well as being part of drama activities throughout the academic year.
This does not only apply to year 5 students, cuts across all sections of primary school
In this, their final year of Primary School at Rainbow, Teachers aim at preparing the Students for the move to Secondary School.
In addition in year 6 Pupils' learning is also assessed via the Cambridge Checkpoint.
The PE curriculum aims to provide for pupils’ increasing self-confidence through an ability to manage themselves successfully in a variety of situations.
Student leadership is emphasised which helps to prepare them for secondary school and for future opportunities for student leadership roles that have greater responsibility.
