Talking, listening, sharing ideas… These are everyday actions, but also key skills that can make a difference in personal and academic development. For this reason, at Casvi Boadilla we are committed to learning to communicate from an early age as a solid base for the growth of our students.
During the last year of Infant School, children live an educational experience that transforms their way of expressing themselves and relating to others. But the real value is not only in what they learn, but in how they live it.
FROM INFANCY ONWARDS: SEEDING COMMUNICATION WITH CONFIDENCE
At the Infant Education stage, children are full of curiosity, questions and the desire to tell what they discover. That is why we believe that this is the ideal time to learn to communicate from an early age: when words begin to have a meaning of their own and their voice seeks to be heard.
In one of the dynamics we develop in the classroom, each student researches a topic of interest to them with the support of their family, and presents it to their classmates. This process helps them to organise their ideas, to express them clearly, to manage their nerves and, above all, to gain self-confidence.
It is not just an oral activity: it is a learning experience that boosts self-esteem, empathy, active listening and participation. Communicating and presenting does not mean talking for the sake of talking, but connecting with others, knowing how to listen and transmit ideas with meaning and emotion.
COMMUNICATING IS MUCH MORE THAN TALKING
Communication is a transversal competence that cuts across all areas of learning. In preparing a presentation, students develop critical thinking, creativity, autonomy and respect for others. They learn to choose the most relevant information, to explain it in their own words and to show it in an attractive way.
Moreover, working on oral expression reinforces essential aspects such as attention, memory, language and the link between family and school. This whole process is in line with the objectives of the Primary School Programme and the International Baccalaureate, which promotes communicative, confident, curious and globally connected student profiles, capable of facing new challenges with confidence, creativity and an open mind.
That is why, at our school, learning to communicate from an early age is not an isolated activity, but an educational pillar. It is a tool that accompanies students throughout their school years and prepares them for the challenges of the future, both inside and outside the classroom.
