At Thornhill Primary, we believe that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single, playful step! Welcome to Grade R, where our little learners, aged 5 turning 6, embark on an exciting adventure filled with fun, creativity, and foundational learning.
Grade R, also known as the Reception Year, is a pivotal year in your child’s educational journey. This year serves as a bridge, preparing our young explorers for the exciting world of primary school and formal education. Through a blend of structured and unstructured play, our Grade R curriculum is designed to nurture a lifelong love of learning.
We believe that children learn best when they are actively involved in their learning process. At Thornhill Primary, our Grade R classrooms are buzzing with creativity and joy. From imaginative play to hands-on activities, we create a nurturing environment where children can explore, experiment, and express themselves.
As our little learners prepare to step into Grade 1, they carry with them the skills and confidence gained in Grade R. Regular attendance, following instructions, and a love for learning are just a few of the habits they develop here. Our goal is to equip each child with the 21st-century skills and key competencies needed to thrive in modern society and its ever-evolving economy.
Join us at Thornhill Primary and watch your child grow, learn, and flourish in an environment that celebrates the magic of early childhood education. Let’s make this year a fun-filled, unforgettable adventure!
