In the Foundation Phase… Teach only one or 2 concepts in a lesson. Use a lot of ‘templates’ Always linked to the themes being done in class.

Grade 1 Maths + Excel Learners simply had to click on the text box and fill it with red or green if it was correct or incorrect. They then had to use a line to join the number name to the numeral. See example. Another example using Excel for a worksheet.

MS PowerPoint As an introduction to PowerPoint in Grade 1 learners drew a smiley face, re-sized it, moved it and filled it with colour. Added a custom animation. The children LOVED watching their slide show.

For the second slide the learners chose 2 pictures from clip art, resized them, moved them and added custom animations to each one.

Excel for Phonics in Grade 1 The clip art was scattered around the edge of the sheet Learners had to drag it into the correct cell depending on the initial sound of the picture. Class teachers used the worksheet to assess whether their pupils knew their initial sounds and could recognise the sound/letter. See example.

Phonics in Grade 2 A self-marking quiz. The teacher goes through the whole test with the learners demonstrating how to select the answers. (Reading skills not that strong for many at this age.) Learners printed page 3 (which had the score)once the test was completed. See example:

Publisher and Internet in Grade 3 Awareness Campaign to prevent Bullying Bullying a theme in LO Worksheets + Internet Learners used Publisher – created Bully Posters in groups Best posters were enlarged – laminated and on display Example:

WebQuest on Trees -Grade 3 Decide which trees must be selected for planting in the school garden. Challenging their thinking. Groups of four, role play, provide scaffolds. Resources: a tree expert, the internet, books and CD ROMs. Presentation of findings and assessment. See example.
