Grade R/1 (Reception/Grade 1)
Overview
This combined phase bridges early childhood development (Grade R) and the beginning of formal primary schooling (Grade 1). The focus is on play-based learning, developing foundational literacy and numeracy skills, and fostering social and emotional growth.
- Home Language: Development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in the learner's primary language (English at Leeds Business College).
- First Additional Language: Introduction to a second language (likely a South African official language, though not explicitly stated in the provided text). Focus is on basic communication skills.
- Mathematics: Early numeracy concepts, number recognition, counting, basic operations, shapes, and measurement.
- Life Skills: This encompasses personal and social well-being, physical education, creative arts, and health education.
Choice Subjects
At this level, subjects are largely integrated within Life Skills and the distinction of formal "choice" subjects is minimal. Activities may involve elements of art, music, drama, and physical activities.
