Social Studies and Science
History, Geography and Science are treated as exploration and discovery
subjects with as much integration across the curriculum as possible.
Field Trips
Much use is made of Rome's rich cultural environment, museums, historical
monuments, art galleries, etc. Every year, as an extension of their social
studies, the 9 and 10 year-olds go on a trip either to Greece or to an
important Italian city such as Florence, Turin or Venice.
Art
Art and handwork are an important part of the curriculum. The programme
includes free expression and experimentation as well as the introduction
of new techniques.
Art Week
This is an exclusive feature of Kendale School. For one week children
of 7 years and older lay aside their regular studies and immerse themselves
in art and handwork activities. Parents and teachers co-operate in setting
up various centres and workshops and the children are free to organize
their own time as they carry through the projects of their choice. The
children contract to complete a certain amount of work in basic skills
at home.
Music and Movement
At Kendale each child is guided towards developing a close personal relationship
to music. The programme is based on the Carl Orff method which develops
each child's innate musicality and creativity through spontaneous and
active participation. The programme includes singing, folk dancing, rhythmics
and creative movement as well as technique and improvisation with percussion
instruments.
Gym Classes
These are held twice a week by a qualified gym instructor.
Kendale's warm and happy family environment
ensures that the child is never "lost in the crowd" but is nurtured
emotionally and intellectually by a qualified and loving staff. Our pupils
thrive in an atmosphere of security which allows them to grow in self-confidence
and to gain the sense of identity which will make their contribution to
school and society a positive one.
