Children aged 4 to 6 years old can register for the nursery/reception class of the Greek School of Wales

 

The class starts with free play, welcoming the students and encouraging them to socialize. This is followed by carpet time where a specific subject is discussed and the corresponding vocabulary is taught using various materials (e.g. storybooks, flashcards, puppets, videos and pictures) and methods (e.g. reading, role-playing, singing, dancing and playing games). The first part ends with a break where children are advised to bring their own snacks.

​

During the second part of the lesson, the children work on crafts and/or worksheets related to the day's vocabulary. Their creations are either kept in a folder they take home at the end of the term or used to decorate the classroom.

​

The main focus of the nursery/reception class, as directed by KEA (the Cypriot Educational Mission) is the oral language, the basic everyday vocabulary, which is the foundation for the development of literacy skills and is considered to be a strong indicator of later reading, writing, and overall academic achievement. Another learning goal for our little students is to be able to follow instructions in Greek and strengthen the feeling of belonging to a Greek community so that they will enjoy coming to the Greek school to learn and make new friends.
