Learning Experience

Learning and teaching experience in Grade R (5 to 6 years) are based on the principles of integration and play-based learning, It for this reason that only informal assessment activities have been included for grade R in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Document
Statement.

In Grade R, most of the assessments takes place through observation with the teacher observing learners in an ongoing and in planned way, during their daily routine, structure and free play activities when they work in small groups or in large groups or individually.

On weekly basis, kids go through their daily lessons, which include language, arts, math, computer skills, science, music, physical development activities, health and safety, multicultural activities, and activities designed to encourage and enhance social and
emotional development.

They also learn through outdoor time and physical education which are important aspects of all learning programs, from infant care to Grade R.
