Doen wiskunde, bou en teken stories, probeer om te skryf en leer die korrekte skrifrigting aan!
We work hard, but we are happy here!
We live our values!

In Grade R, we encourage learning to take place while we play.

We are a dual medium school.

Therefore, everything is done in both English and Afrikaans.

Huistaal / Home Language

‘n Geïntergreerde taalbenadering word gevolg.
Dit word ondersteun deur die E-Lit program (Wordworks).

We work on the following skills over a two-week cycle

Listening and speaking
Phonics
Emergent reading
Emergent writing
Language structure

Sequencing (Logical order)
Intergrasie met Lewensvaardighede bevorder taalontwikkeling.
Sigwoorde word bekend gestel.
Phonics and word building are done gradually as we learn new sounds.

Wiskunde / Maths

We follow the R-Maths which is a daily mathematics program. We count daily.
It is important for learners to work from concrete to semi-abstract to abstract.

Mathematics in the Foundation phase is made up of the following 5 elements

Numbers, operations and relationships
Patterns
Space and shape
Measurement
Data handeling

In Graad R fokus ons op die getalgebied van 0 tot 10 en ons tel van 0 tot 20 (of meer).
Hoofreken, skatting en tel is daaglikse aktiwiteite.
Flardkaart aktiwiteite, getallelyne, aan- en terugtel, verdubbeling, halvering, meer /minder en berekeninge word ontwikkel.
Getalkonsepte word weekliks vasgelê.
Inoefening van getalname, getalsimbole, groepering, verdeling, getalkombinasies word weekliks gedoen.
Ons tel elke dag.
Probleemoplossing word ook aangebied.

Lewensvaardighede / Life Skills

Lewensvaardighede is die ruggraat van die kurrikulum. Die vak ontwikkel vaardighede, kennis, goeie begrip, woordeskat en waardes wat leerders bemagtig om goeie besluite te neem en ook om gepas op te tree.

Lewensvaardighede sluit die volgende in

Persoonlike en sosiale welsyn
Skeppende en uitvoerende kunste
Liggaamliksopvoeding

We work on ball skills, balance, co-ordination, midline crossing and so much more.
Improving core muscles are just as important as improving fine motor skills.

During play time, we have wonderful opportunities to learn how to socialize, exercise our values (treating one another with kindness and respect), taking turns and dealing with conflict situations.

Rapportering / Report

Op grond van assesseringsprogram en take word terugvoering aan ouers gegee.
Kodes 1 tot 7 word vir die vaardighede gebruik.

At the end of each term parents receive the report.

Oueraande / Parent evenings

At the beginning of the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th term parents are given the opportunity to book an appointment to meet with the class teacher.
Daar is ook afsprake op uitnodiging wat aan ouers gestuur word saam met die rapporte.
Ons verwag van ouers om in die belang van die leerder op te tree en hierdie vergadering by te woon.

Huiswerk / Home work

Huiswerk word aan die begin van die kwartaal aan leerders gegee. Dis maklik verstaanbaar en behoort nie baie van u tyd in beslag te neem nie.
Huiswerk is slegs vaslegging van wat ons in klas doen.

Time for homework in Grade R should take about 30 min.

Homework for each week

Practise and re-inforce the new sound for the week.
Practise new number (dots, pictures, symbols and number names).

Ouers / Parents

What we ask of the parents

Ensure your child can recognize the sounds (a,b,c..), number symbols and number names as we learn them. Focus on correct writing direction.
Please support your child during their homework and reenforce the knowledge.

Ons wil graag ‘n goeie kommunikasie tussen ouer en opvoeder hê.

U is welkom om ons te kontak of te kom sien. U kind maak regtig saak vir ons.

Saam bou ons aan elke leerder se toekoms.
