PRIMARY EDUCATION
Our students in kindergarten have a 30-minute lesson once a week.
The students work with the kindergarten method; Sil op School. The lessons are offered playfully and thematically.
During lessons we will work on:
-
vocabulary
-
literacy and reading readiness
-
language view and awareness
-
speaking and listening
TODDLERS
We choose to offer first grade in two school years, because first grade is a very extensive year. Our students start first grade (average at the age of 5) a year earlier than the children in the Netherlands. This way, our students have the time to build a good foundation in first grade without losing track with their peers in the Netherlands.
Group 3 (first grade) in one school year.
Children 6 years and older can follow first grade in one school year.
Academic year 3.1
During the first year of first grade, we offer all the letters in a playful way. The students work with the Veilig Leren Lezen method (unit one through six) and they will also work with components of our kindergarten program.
Academic year 3.2
During the second school year, the students will start in the new learning method for initial reading; Lijn 3. The students work with the materials of unit 7 through 12.
GROUP 3
GROUP 4 - 8
World Wide Juf offers students in groups 4 to 8 the five subject areas of the Dutch language:
-
Language
-
Spelling
-
Vocabulary
-
Reading comprehension
-
Technical reading
The school year 2024 - 2025 group 4 has started with the new method Taaljacht. In the coming years all grades of Taal Actief will be replaced by the Taaljacht method.
We offer the subject of reading comprehension using the Nieuwsbegrip XL method.
MATHEMATICS
Experience has shown that many students who have received math education at day school have difficulty with the inflow into the Dutch education system. This can have various causes; the math education was given in a different language, the level of the classes did not match or the questions were different.
The arithmetic offering was created in response to the needs of parents. The math lessons are provided on request in addition to the Dutch lessons and last 30 minutes per lesson.
CULTUURLESSEN
During the school year we also pay attention to Dutch culture.
Pupils from groups 4 to 8 work on a cultural project twice a year. In these projects, in addition to Dutch culture, vocabulary and writing are also worked on.
Of course, we also pay attention to cultural holidays in between.
