An average of 40 themes is addressed over the period of 1 year.Each of these age groups has a specific programme with age appropriate outcomes per learning area.
These outcomes are progressive between the different age groups.
We do NOT use copied worksheets. WHY? Each outcome is taught and reinforced through kinaesthetic learning—where physical activity helps create long-term memory and understanding. Once a concept is fully developed and established through this hands-on approach, we move on to applying it with 3D objects, and only then do we transition to 2D exercises (on paper).
Progress reports are handed out 3 times per year.
A profile is created with the child’s work throughout the year for two purposes: to preserve their work and for assessment.
The number of learners is capped according to a maximum of 24 in Grade R, with progressively fewer learners as the children are younger. The exact ratios are determined by municipal bylaws, ensuring compliance while prioritizing individual care and interaction. Support staff and teaching assistants are allocated to each class based on the specific needs of the learners
