What We Cover in First Level Primary
Our First Level support is designed to strengthen core skills across literacy, numeracy, and wellbeing, using Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence as a guide. We balance structured learning with play-based techniques to keep children engaged and curious.
-
Early Literacy
We build skills in phonics, word recognition, spelling, and sentence structure. Children learn to express ideas through writing, explore different texts, and develop reading comprehension step by step.
-
Numeracy and Number Work
Our tutors help children with counting, sequencing, place value, simple addition and subtraction, and basic multiplication. Visual tools and real-life examples are used to make concepts stick.
-
Shape, Space and Measure
We introduce basic geometry, measurement, time, and money — helping children understand these topics through everyday contexts and hands-on tasks.
-
Talking and Listening
Through guided conversations and storytelling, we help children develop confidence in speaking, listening, and responding — building strong communication habits from the start.
-
Health and Wellbeing
We support emotional literacy, decision-making, and relationship-building through activities that encourage reflection and self-awareness.
-
Inquiry and Thinking Skills
From exploring patterns to asking "why," our approach encourages curiosity and helps children develop problem-solving and decision-making abilities appropriate to their age.
Helping Children Grow with Confidence
At this age, success isn’t just about right answers — it’s about developing a positive attitude to learning, curiosity, and the resilience to try again when things are hard.
At Jaya’s Academy, we support young learners in building confidence through encouragement, patience, and praise. We help them learn how to think, not just what to think — laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Our tutors use a calm, reassuring approach, with plenty of visual aids, games, and interactive tasks that keep children engaged while developing essential skills.
Set the Stage for a Bright Future
The early years of education are formative — not just academically, but emotionally and socially. A strong foundation at the First Level prepares your child for success throughout primary school and beyond.
At Jaya’s Academy, we’re here to support your child’s development with compassion, structure, and joy — helping them become confident, capable learners who enjoy discovering the world around them.
