The Primary Section at Walnut School Fursungi is where we dedicate ourselves to establishing a solid educational base for our students. Here are a few of the unique qualities that set our Primary Section apart :
- Comprehensive curriculum: Primary education at Fursungi focuses on building a solid foundation in all subjects, including languages, mathematics, science, and social studies. Our curriculum strikes a balance between academics, co-curricular activities, and extracurricular pursuits, fostering the holistic development of our students.
- Innovative subjects: Interesting and innovative subjects, such as language arts, mental math, speaking, strategic thinking, economics and financial literacy, are introduced at the primary level. These subjects equip students with essential life skills that they can apply throughout their lives.
- Focus on reading skills: Reading skills are continually developed through dedicated reading classes included in the timetable for Std. 1 to Std. 4. This emphasis on reading helps students become proficient readers and cultivates a love for literature.
- Computational thinking: Walnut students gain valuable knowledge about computers and computational thinking through the CSPathshala program of ACM and Google (our co-founder Nikhil Karkare is also one of the co-founders of CSPathshala). Std. 3 onwards, students learn working in Scratch, and also start formulating algorithms for more complex tasks with loops and patterns.
- Planned learning and evaluations: Our planned learning approach incorporates regular revisions and evaluations as part of the routine. From Std 1, students begin preparing for exams, with three practice tests before each exam to familiarize themselves with the format, time management, content handling, and the actual exam scenario. This approach makes examinations a stress-free experience for both students and parents.
- Sensible homework: Students receive timed, age-appropriate homework that they can complete independently, encouraging self-reliance and reinforcing the concepts learned in class. The aim is to encourage them to explore the study materials deeply and apply their knowledge to real-world situations, and not to hassle parents with craft projects.
- Competitive exam training: Training for standard 5 Scholarship is done in the school routine itself.
- Enriching Co-curricular Activities: Events like Carnival, Electric Saturdays, debates, sports days and competitions provide ample opportunities for students to showcase their talents. With so many events happening regularly, a lot of performance art training happens in Walnut school. Students learn acting, dancing, singing, speeches and dramatized readings. All children participate in events without any additional charges for participation, training, or costumes.
- Parent engagement: Parents are kept in the loop through weekly updates about their child’s classroom activities and hands-on experiences using the Wal-Sh app. Multiple parent-teacher meetings are scheduled throughout the year, providing personalized feedback and opportunities for parents to meet subject teachers.
