The Primary Section at Walnut School Wakad 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: Our primary education focuses on building a strong foundation in all subjects, including languages, mathematics, science, and social studies. With a balanced curriculum encompassing academics, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities, we prioritize the overall development of our students.
- Innovative subjects: In addition to the core subjects, subjects such as language arts, mental math, speak, strategic thinking and economics and financial literacy are introduced at this level. These help students develop essential life skills that are required all through their lives.
- Focus on reading skills: The development of reading skills continues to be prioritized by incorporating dedicated reading classes into the timetable for standards 1 to 4.
- Computational thinking: Walnut students gain valuable knowledge about computers and computational thinking through the CS Pathshala program of ACM and Google. 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: Homework is timed and age-appropriate which can be completed by the students independently. The aim is to encourage them to explore the study materials deeply and apply their knowledge to real-world situations.
- Competitive exam training: Training for standard 5 Scholarship is done in the school routine itself.
- Extracurricular 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.
