Aims & objectives
Art and craft, song, dance and drama, stories and imaginative play, sounds, sights, shapes, colors, and textures are vital parts of the child’s development.

The little older group grown into the big brothers of the Nursery with more maturity and understanding and a great many achievements tucked under their sleeve. They require a lot more challenges to sustain their interest in learning so the planning is definitely stimulating and interesting.

Language: By the time the children come to school they are already aware of the ‘print’, Reading is important to a child’s success at school’. Jolly phonics 1,2 & 3 is revised and book 4 is introduced. Creative Writing is an important aspect of our curriculum as preliminary to actual writing. Here the children are encouraged to draw simple representations of their observations and impressions. They identify what they have drawn to the teacher while she records. In Speaking and Listening the aim is now to improve their vocabulary, fluency and speaking complex sentences with confidence. Hence the children are provided with opportunities to develop their speech with the help of stories, logical sequencing of story cards, picture talk, role-play and  audiovisual. They are encouraged to narrate stories and experiences.

A discovery is made! Everything around us has a shape and a colour. Matching and name lessons take place. Every object around us can be counted. Practical activities are the nature of Mathematics for this age group. The mathematical concept of opposites and special relationships in the environment is also an important aspect of logical learning.

Knowledge and understanding of the world is theme-oriented. These projects aim at building awareness of the world they live in. We provide for the children to enjoy concrete and scientific experiences in understanding change. They become aware of people performing certain duties and working in various fields of expertise through role-play. They classify all things around as alive or as non-living.

Personal and Social development aims at developing positive attitudes, self-esteem and confidence in their personality. Aims at developing relationships, etiquette, good manners, hygiene activities, taught through song/books and role-play. Being happy/sad, speaking softly and encouraging gentle behavior is part of the program.

Art and craft, song, dance and drama, stories and imaginative play, sounds, sights, shapes, colors, and textures are vital parts of the child’s development. Use of puppets to recreate and invent situations, is what we offer at the school. All learning takes place through creativity.

Physical Development is all about developing the gross motor skills towards independence. Hence challenging games like running races, ball skills and fun games are introduced to this age group. Swimming is a much looked forward to activity. Gardening, free play, sand play, cycling, skating, busy bees and much more activities are available for this age group.

A very warm welcome to all parents and children of The Hungry Caterpillar Primary School!  The term has begun with a lot of excitement and happiness. We welcome all the children back to school after a restful, enjoyable and productive vacation. I hope they are ready to take on activities planned for them this term.

Kindly take note of the information below for your child to comfortably fit into the routine of school.

School activities/ curriculum.
  • Our committed and caring staff is all ready and prepared for the coming term. They are always there in time to provide a warm and welcoming, learning/ teaching environment. In case of any concerns, you are welcome to discuss with the teacher or the management.
School uniform.
  • Please pack uniforms according to the timetable for Clubs and Sports and Ballet. Kindly make sure your child brings leggings and tee shirt for Ballet and sports wear for Sports. Children without proper dress code will not be allowed to participate in the activity. Also mark/ label all your child’s items for easy identification. These include sweaters, bags, snack boxes and water bottles.
Discipline at school
  • Most of our children have developed a sense of right and wrong, hence acceptable behavior amongst children is noticeable. They respond to the teacher’s instructions positively while learning and playing with others in a responsible manner. We like to work in partnership with parents in all personal, social and emotional behavior of the child in case of any disciplinary issues. 
Term Exams/ Continuous assessment.
  • Assessment is integral to successful teaching and learning. Assessment therefore reveals how far children are performing at school. Children will therefore write exams in the beginning, middle and end of term as per the regulations of UNEB.
Parents Email address/ Telephone contacts.
  • We request Parents to inform the school in case there is a change of phone numbers/email address. It is important to have the right record in case of emergencies.
Holiday Homework pack.
  • Most children complete the holiday package for the term on time; however few do not submit their work on time. Please check and encourage your child to hand in the work by next week. The new term‘s   overview / outlines will soon be sent home for Parents  to know the class  planning for the term.
Pick up time.
  • We remind parents that pick up time for PI, PII, PIII is from 3:00 – 4:00pm. Pick the child on time to have enough sleep in preparation for the next day. A child left at school has no company – he/she becomes restless and tired. Children who wait for their siblings to finish, please ensure that the children are picked up from school latest by 6:00pm. The charges for late pick up after 6:00pm will be 10,000 ush per hour.
