Primary
A stage for active, cooperative, and meaningful growth, fostering competencies and values for life.
How do we work?
In Primary, we work with active methodologies: projects, cooperative learning, learning stations, interactive groups, and the ‘Ales de paper’ reading project. We support each student through dialogue, reflection, and personalized attention, respecting their pace and enhancing their abilities.

How do we assess and manage homework at Som Escola?

Homework and Home Study
We advocate for the rationalization of homework and home study. Assigned tasks aim for information research or are more creative in nature. In the second and third cycles, a writing workshop is conducted with themes that foster creative writing, always related to the project.
Assessment
Assessment in Primary Education at Som Escola is continuous, formative, and focused on supporting learning. Based on daily observation, classroom work, and various activities, each student’s progress is evaluated, respecting their pace, effort, and personal development. The objective is to help them grow academically and personally in a cooperative, inclusive, and trusting environment.
Our assessment reports are qualitative, focusing on the holistic development of students:
- Developmental and social aspects.
- Progress, difficulties, and talents.
- Areas for improvement and recommendations.
ICTs
At Som Escola, we make progressive and balanced use of new technologies to enhance real learning. From 2nd grade, we use Snappet, and from 4th grade, Chromebooks to work on mathematics, languages, research, and digital applications, adapted to each student’s pace.
We believe that new technologies provide an innovative and interesting way to engage with content. They must always serve human beings and should not be used as a substitute for what students can learn through hands-on experience. For this reason, we teach how to use them in a balanced, educational, and responsible manner.
At Som Escola, we use our own teaching materials. This approach not only offers cost savings but also ensures the content is adapted to the curricular requirements of each educational stage, aligns with the students’ pace, and is always kept up-to-date.
