21st Century Education

WEMG is the Writing, English, Mathematics and General Abilities course which is the basic course for all primary students. Students are taught all the necessary materials to prepare them for their exams. Reading Comprehension in all forms is covered. Essay writing, vocabulary and spelling exercises are given on a weekly basis. Emphasis is placed on reading books and writing book reviews.

Mathematics lessons cover all areas and thinking skills are increased through weekly General Ability lessons.

WRITING

Our students are taught the skills of writing a range of texts and are expected to create similar texts in the course of the term. They are taught how to apply knowledge they have learnt to write with clarity, authority and novelty a range of written texts that entertain, inform and persuade audiences. They also learn how to strategically select key aspects of a topic & language, edit for enhanced meaning and effect by refining ideas, re-ordering sentences, adding or substituting words for clarity and removing repetitions. The learning outcome of this course sees the creation of new texts which are clear, effective, informative and innovative.
