What Our Selective School Course covers:
Writing is a significant part of the English class. Students learn all the genres that may appear in the test including writing an advice sheet, narrative, persuasive, discussion and information and news report. In addition, the open-ended stimuli may be interpreted from different angles. Students are exposed to the marking rubric and how their writing gets assessed and hence how to improve it. They learn how to dissect and analyse a question and a given stimulus, so they write with confidence and to the point achieving high scores.
Thinking skills has two main components: problem-solving and critical thinking.
Problem solving consists of mathematical or logical problems embedded in a practical context. To solve them, students need mathematical knowledge, analytical skills and the ability to differentiate between redundant and essential information.
Critical thinking – when we analyzed these questions, we found that they consisted of inductive and deductive reasoning.
-
The inductive reasoning questions involve students being asked to evaluate the impact of additional information on a given conclusion. They involve reasoning from common sense and general knowledge.
-
The deductive reasoning questions can be solved and taught using mathematical diagrams such as Venn diagrams and tree diagrams. While these questions may look like English questions, they require a mathematical type analysis.
Our classes are split into two 2-hour classes:
-
Maths and Thinking skills (2 hours a week)
-
English, writing and Critical Thinking (2 hours a week)
Parents can choose to do one class or both classes.
The course starts in Year 5 Term 2 and goes all the way to end of Term 1 Year 6.
As the test is now in May, we have introduced a Mock Tests holiday course in January and in April. Students will sit one mock test a day followed by comprehensive feedback.
Each term, your child will receive their own GEA Selective Program textbooks. The program includes 8 mock tests (3 hours each) and each is delivered with comprehensive feedback.
Our head teachers have regular meetings with parents to keep them up to date and address any concerns they have.
