FOUNDATION PHASE LIFE SKILLS MULTIGRADE TOOLKIT
Introduction to the Multi-Grade Toolkit The Multigrade Toolkit for Foundation Phase comprises two main components namely the Multi-grade Annual Teaching Plan (MATP) and exemplar lesson plans for each of the subjects offered in Grades 1-3. The content set out in CAPS for each subject namely Home Languages, Mathematics, First Additional Language and Life Skills have been reorganized in a systematic way across the grades starting in grade 1 and progressing to Grade 3 in the MATP.
The MATP is a curriculum planning resource tool and is set out in a format which demonstrates the pacing and sequencing of the curriculum horizontally across Grades 1 to 3 and vertically across Terms 1 to 4 for each subject offered in the Foundation Phase. The MATP is aimed at making the CAPS more accessible to the multi-grade teacher who teaches a multigrade class of Grades 1, 2 and 3 or Grades 1 and 2 or Grades 2 and 3. In this way it is envisaged that the multi-grade teacher will become more familiar with the content that needs to be covered per grade in each term. The purpose of the MATP and the exemplar lesson plans The MATP is aimed at enabling the teacher to teach common topics/concepts/skills/content to the whole class (combination of grades) where it is conceptually appropriate for each grade. MATP enables the multigrade teacher to cover the curriculum for each term by encouraging her/him to teach common content across the grades where it is conceptually and grade appropriate. Hence the MATP is encouraging multi-grade teachers to do whole class teaching and assessment as well as focused grade group teaching and assessment too. For example to overcome the challenge of time management in multigrade grade classes teachers are encouraged to teach the these components Visual Arts, Performing Arts (Dance, Music, Drama, Physical Education as whole class lessons but differentiate the activities to suit each grade.
Exemplar Lesson plans The lesson plans have been developed to enhance quality learning and teaching as well as to strengthen curriculum coverage in multigrade classes. The lesson plans are aligned to the MATP for each subject. The lesson plans have been written in a format that speaks to multi-grade teaching in Grades 1 to 3. The exemplar lesson plans for each subject have been packaged in weeks. The lesson plans mediate the content to be taught as set out in the MATP. The lesson plans unpack the content to be taught and assessed in the grade for the week. This has been done by providing grade appropriate activities.
Teaching ideas, time allocation break downs, resources and notes to the teacher and activities in the DBE Workbook are listed. Lesson plans also state that teacher made resources should also be used namely flashcards, number cards, own Big Books, posters, masks, puppets etc using recylcled materials.
Exemplar Home Language Weekly Lesson plans
3 MULTIGRADE TOOLKIT LIFE SKILLS FOUNDATION PHASE
Weekly exemplar lesson plans have been developed and cover the following components: Listening and Speaking Phonics Shared Reading Group Guided Reading Independent and Paired Reading Handwriting Writing
Number of lesson plan exemplars: 12 weekly lesson plan exemplars have been developed (3 weeks x 4 terms) Teaching Ideas The teacher is expected to teach and assess these weekly activities over at least a 5 day cycle. Teachers are encouraged to do at least one focused Shared Reading lesson and Group Guided Reading per week with each grade. Learners should engage in reading and writing activities using at least 1or 2 texts per week from the DBE Workbook, Big Book, Graded Reader, Story books etc. Reading lessons should focus on:
pre-reading activities (cover, title, talk through the visuals, author), during reading activities (visuals, read the text, use phonic skills and sight words to recognise unfamiliar
words, observe punctuations etc) after reading activities (discuss setting, beginning, characters, main events, plot, ending, comprehension,
writing and drama etc). Teachers should model reading in the Read Aloud, Shared Reading and Group Guided sessions to inspire learners to read aloud and silently on their own independently as well as read in groups and pairs every day. Written activities (at least 3 per week) should include word building and sentence construction activities using phonics and sight words, story writing (topics, reading texts, news etc) and a variety of comprehension activities. The DBE Workbook activities should be used to teach listening and speaking, phonics, reading, comprehension and writing in all grades.
Timetabling: At least 2 hours per day should be dedicated for Home Language in the multigrade class and so that every grade can have a Home Language period of at least 30 minutes daily so that some form of reading and writing is done from Monday to Friday. Exemplar First Additional Language (FAL) Weekly Lesson plan FAL lesson plan covers these components:
Listening and Speaking Phonics Shared Reading Group Guided Reading Writing
Number of lesson plan exemplars: 37 weekly lesson plan exemplars have been developed (10 weeks IN Terms 1, 2, 3 and 7 weeks in Term 4).
4 MULTIGRADE TOOLKIT LIFE SKILLS FOUNDATION PHASE
Teaching Ideas Listening and speaking activities should be the focus initially to introduce the learners to the new language and thereafter other the language components namely phonics, reading and writing should be taught as set out in the curriculum. The DBE Workbook activities should be used to teach listening and speaking, phonics, reading, comprehension and writing in all grades. Timetabling: At least 40 minutes per day should be dedicated for First Additional Language (FAL) in the multigrade class and so that every grade will have a FAL period of at least 20 minutes daily so that listening and speaking, phonics reading and writing are done regularly from Monday to Friday. Exemplar Mathematics Weekly lesson plan Mathematics lesson plan covers the following components mainly for Numbers Operations and Relationships:
Mental Mathematics Number sense Number concepts Number operations Word problems The weekly lesson plans also include at least one lesson per week on the other topics namely: Patterns Space and Shape Measurement Data Handling
Number of lesson plan exemplars: 19 weekly lesson plan exemplars have been developed (10 weeks in Terms 1, 3 weeks in Term 2, 3 and 4). Teaching Ideas All grades should be exposed to oral, practical and written activities. At least 3 word problems should be done weekly by each grade. The DBE Workbook activities should be used to reinforce and consolidate skills and concepts in the Mathematics lessons. Timetabling: At least 1, 5 hours per day should be dedicated for Mathematics in the multigrade class and so that every grade can have a Mathematics period of at least 30 minutes daily so that at least two Mathematics components can be taught to each grade daily. Exemplar Life Skills Weekly lesson plan The weekly lesson plan includes the following study areas:
Beginning knowledge and Personal and Social Wellbeing Creative Arts are made up of Performing Arts (dance, Music and Drama) and Visual Arts Physical Education
Number of lesson plan exemplars: 24 weekly lesson plan exemplars have been developed (6 weeks per term). The bi-weekly lesson plans can also used over a 3 week cycle to ensure that all the activities are covered accordingly.
5 MULTIGRADE TOOLKIT LIFE SKILLS FOUNDATION PHASE
Teaching Ideas The topics for Beginning Knowledge and Personal and Social Well being have been listed for each grade and grouped in such a way that common content across topics can be taught to all grades in a whole class lesson. Teachers are also encouraged to teach the Creative Arts and Physical Education as whole class lessons. At least one Life Skills study area should be done per day. Beginning Knowledge topics should be used to provide contexts to teach the language components namely listening and speaking and reading and writing skills. Drama should be done as an integrated language activity (role-play, miming, dramatization, dialogues etc). Music, Dance and Physical Education can be done as an integrated lesson with all grades. The DBE Workbook should be used in Life Skills lessons. Timetabling: At least 1 hour per day should be dedicated to Life Skills per day. At least one Physical Education (outdoor lesson) and a Visual Arts lesson should be done per week in the multigrade class. Adapting the exemplar lesson plan for the Multigrade class Teachers are encouraged to use these weekly lesson plans to plan their daily classroom lesson plan activities for each subject per day from Monday to Friday. These lesson plans are generic and the teacher is expected to provide the activities that will be done across all grades in whole class sessions and the focused grade activities. Specific details such as the title of Big Book, stories in the Graded Reader and page references in the DBE Workbook etc should be indicated. The lesson plan should indicate grade specific activities and whole class activities. In addition oral, written, independent and assessment activities for each grade should be explicit in the daily lesson plan as well as the resources to be used to mediate the activity namely the DBE Workbook, Readers, realia etc.
The lesson plan should reflect the Language of Learning and Teaching (LoLT), where isiXhosa is offered as LoLT, the phonics, spelling words sight words , word problems etc should be contextualised for isiXhosa. Hence teachers are encouraged to write their daily lesson plans to reflect the LoLT of the school.

School Based Assessment (SBA) requirements for Foundation Phase
National Policy pertaining to the programme and promotion and progression requirements Grades R to 12 (2012) stipulates that assessment in Foundation Phase (Grades R-3) is 100 % Continuous Assessment (CASS) meaning that both formative assessments (assessment for learning) and summative assessments (assessment of learning) will be used to assess, evaluate and report on the learner’s performance and progress on a quarterly basis on a 7 rating point scale.
The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) maps the number of formal assessment tasks per term for each subject. Teachers are encouraged to include at least two assessment activities in each formal assessment task.The Table 2 below indicates the number of formal assessment tasks per subject per term. Exemplar Programme of assessment (Tables 3 and 4) provides an overview of the content (concepts, skills) that should be assessed, the form and type of assessment and assessment tools to be used for each assessment task.
