Infant School

The Primary School provides a learning environment in which all the children can be happy, contented and safe. They are motivated and able to flourish and achieve their full potential as well as feel a sense of fulfillment. The aim is to give all the children the confidence and enthusiasm to become life-long learners with an appreciation of, and respect for others.

In the Infant School the principal, the head of grade and the class teacher care for the children. Class teachers are sensitive to the needs of the children in their classes and seek to ensure that they are able to benefit fully from every aspect of school life.

Parents are encouraged to play an important role in the education of their children and to work in a close partner-ship with the teachers. Parental help both in the classroom and on trips within Singapore is fully appreciated, particularly with the youngest students.

Special days

Every day is a ‘special day' in the Infants School at UWCSEA. However, during the year we have some extra special days, when students have the opportunity to take part in curriculum related activities, or celebratory occasions, that are presented in a stimulating, interactive learning environment. Some of the special days during last academic year were....

Book Character Dress Up Day During Book Week all the students and teachers in the Infant School dressed up as their favourite book character.		End of Term Party To celebrate the end of the first term the Infants had a day of games, laughter and delicious food.		Chinese New Year Dress To celebrate Chinese New Year the Infant children dressed up in Chinese clothes or traditional colours and enjoyed a lion dance performance.
Morning of Sport All Infant students took part in races and activities to show their parents the skills they had learnt in P.E.		K2 Trip to the SPCA As part of their Unit of Inquiry about animals the K2 students visited the SPCA to learn about their responsibility to animals.		K1 Trip to the Botanical Garden As part of their Unit of Inquiry about growth the K1 students visited the Botanic Gardens to learn about plants.
Grade 1 Body Morning As part of their Unit of Inquiry about "The Body" the G1 students moved around the classrooms which had been transformed into different zones, The Lung Zone, The Brain Zone, The Heart Zone, The Skin Zone and The Intestine Zone. Each zone had exciting learning experiences to teach the students about the body.		Grade 1 Sleepover To celebrate the end of their time in the Infant School, and to encourage the Grade 1 students to be independent risk-takers, they slept the night at school in their classroom with their teachers.

This is just a small selection of the extra activities and experiential learning that we provide on top of the normal everyday learning experiences in the classrooms.
