Location [Wind Reach] The Learning Gallery

[Phoenix]

Description: Branching off from the same corridor that leads to the Crafts Gallery, though opposite from the Avoras noisy workplace, is the Learning Gallery. A large space, the Learning Gallery is one of the more unique spaces in Wind Reach. Completely natural in formation, the narrow passage way that leads from the corridor opens up into a large, spacious cavern. Filled with an assortment of chairs and small sofas, ranging in size from a seat that would fit a child to one that an adult could comfortably lounge in, the main cavern is a place for relaxation and play. Roughly hewn boxes line the walls, meant to hold the plethora of toys that were normally scattered around the cavern floor. Books that the Enclave was able to part with sit in untidy stacks on the half dozen low, round tables placed sporadically around the room. The unique portion of the cavern exists in the four, evenly spaced miniature caverns that were more akin to caves. Unsure of what this place used to be, or why the four caves were so symmetrically spaced, the Inartan's didn't pass up the opportunity to use the place to their advantage. Each of the caves held a different classroom for the Yasi, from the Kingergarden to the Second Advanced class. This helped to keep the schooling on track and easier for the Avora in charge of each section. By dividing the Yasi up by ages and "grades", the men and women in charge of schooling are able to more accurately instruct each group.

Start attempting skills to apprentice to: Glassworking, Hunting, Botany, Herbalism/Medicine, Architecture, Fishing, Agriculture, list to be expanded upon. 12 - 15: Bendi, continued language. Skills should be chosen or almost chosen. Anyone who has not shown talent or proficiency shall be placed in Dek caste. ---- Classes/Lessons Kindergarten: In kindergarten, Yasi start to learn Common and whatever other language of their choice that is available. They begin to learn to read and write, and learn to play and interact with eachother. They have play time/recess thrice a day, along with a naptime after lunch. There is one tutor to help give children individualized attention if they're falling behind. The entire class happens in one room, with frequent field trips showing the Yasi how Wind Reach works and functions. Basic Class: At this time, Yasi begin to learn history, religion, mathematics, wilderness survival and falconry. They continue lessons on language, reading and writing. They're taught the laws of Wind Reach and the importance of the castes. They learn general religion, about different Gods and Goddesses and what they do. They're free to choose any deity to worship, or none at all. Only recently has the teachings of Ivak been taught. There is one recess/play time, and one nap after lunch. There are two tutors to give children individualized attention if they're falling behind. There are less common field trips, with more attention given to more important areas. These focus more on information about the professions. Advanced Class 1: This is when children begin their Bendi. Bendi are focused on the most at this stage. Yasi also start experimenting with skills and professions that interest them, such as Hunting, Botany and Glassworking. They practice in appropriate areas along with supervisors to find the skill that they do best. This is also a time when Avora may choose apprentices. Basic class is intensified, but not considered as important as Bendi or skill practice. There are no recesses or naptimes, but there are occassional short breaks for Yasi to socialize or do an activity of their choice. There are four tutors. Advanced Class 2: Yasi continue Bendi and skill practice, and intensified classes are still taken every third day, but are optional except for the minimum requirement of 5 a season. As in, they have to take the classes 5 times a season. Avora are still choosing apprentices, and the Yasi are still working under a supervisor at their chosen skill. Skills should be chosen by now. Anyone who has not shown talent or proficiency shall be placed in Dek caste. Anyone with a disability shall be put into the Dek caste as well, unless someone of Avora or Endal caste vouches for them and takes them under their wing. This happens rarely, and said Avora or Endal will be required to do more work to make up for the invalid. There are four tutors. ---- Exams Exams are taken once each season for the Advanced Classes 1 and 2. For almost the entire season, teachers study their students and begin to formulate an individual exam for each one. This can be a long and difficult process, and each student will take multiple exams on "Exam Day" from their different teachers. Exams show the teachers which students need extra help and where the class is on said subject. ---- Daily Schedules Note: times are not set in stone. these are just basic guidelines, and the smaller increments of time are based on gut feeling of teachers.

Imagine those children as gingers. Description: The Kindergarten is the main haven for all Yasi from ages 4 to 6. Of the four rooms adjacent to the main Cavern, the kindergarten is the furthest to the left. The room is a nicely sized cave, with desks and tables scattered almost haphazardly. There are many colourful toys and rugs for the children to play with, and stacked in a corner are many bedrolls for naptime after lunch. The walls are covered in painted pictures of birds, clouds, trees, and anything you can think of, while there are multi-coloured glass windows depicting a scene of small children playing covering one wall. It is run by Nikki, an incredibly patient and kind school teacher, and Kanipa, her assistant and twin. Full Credit to Nij
