🏫 My School
Class 1 EVS · Unit 9 of 11 · about 120 minutes
Children explore their school as a special place: the people who help them (teachers, helpers, principal), the different rooms and areas, and the rules that keep everyone safe and happy. They learn to share, take turns, and keep the school clean by putting things back and throwing rubbish in the bin. Every micro-topic starts from a real observation or activity in the school.
What your child will learn
- Students will name the main places in their school (classroom, playground, library, office, washroom) and say what happens in each.
- Students will identify the people who work in the school (teacher, principal, helper, guard) and describe one way each helps them.
- Students will follow simple classroom rules (raise hand, sit properly, listen, keep things in place) and explain why rules are needed.
- Students will demonstrate sharing and taking turns in group activities and say why it is good.
- Students will describe ways to keep the school clean (throw rubbish in the bin, keep books in place, wipe feet) and show care for school things.
