Specials Classes
At our elementary school, we believe in fostering creativity, expression, and physical well-being through our engaging specials classes: Art, Music, and Physical Education (PE). Each week our students attend 1 Art, Music and 2 PE classes.
Art: In our vibrant art classes, students explore various mediums and techniques, from painting and drawing to sculpture and mixed media. We encourage imagination and self-expression, allowing children to develop their artistic skills while learning about famous artists and different cultures. Each project aims to inspire creativity and boost confidence, culminating in showcases of their work.
Music: Our music classes immerse students in the world of sound. Through singing, instrument play, and movement, children discover the joy of music. We introduce various genres and instruments, teaching fundamental concepts such as rhythm, melody, and harmony. By participating in group performances and creative composition activities, students cultivate teamwork and develop a lifelong appreciation for music.
Physical Education: Our PE program promotes physical fitness, teamwork, and healthy habits. Students engage in a variety of activities, from traditional sports to cooperative games, designed to enhance their motor skills and physical coordination. Emphasizing the importance of fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship, our PE classes help students develop a positive attitude towards an active lifestyle.
Together, these specials classes provide a holistic educational experience, nurturing well-rounded individuals who are ready to explore their interests and talents!
