Grade R

Each unit has 13 activities, so there are 52 in total. Shapes and colours are practiced and we solve mazes and join the dots.

The pictures are popular with children, as they relate to nursery rhymes, playing on the beach, a playground, animals, and pizza.

Some of these will become favourites and may be used over and over again. All it takes is practice and the learners’ confidence will grow. Although most Grade R activities use Paint, the learners explore all the menu options and all the tools. Another drawing programme is introduced so some skills are transferred and more are learnt.

The fundamental skills of using a computer are learnt, using a pointing device in a GUI environment, as well as the basics for graphics manipulation.

The 64 activities take the learners through animal kennels, game parks, gross stories and monsters, 3D shape rotations, a magic forest, cake distributions, ancient Egypt, budgets and savings, to space weather and star wars and carbon footprints. The content is largely in favour of maths and science, but all subjects are included.

The learners are introduced to Inkscape and WebDesign, and extend their skills in word processing, presentations, spreadsheets and online essentials.

The challenges are longer and more difficult, this is the year that they need to polish and shine. Certificates at the end of the year are recommended.

Note: the learners can have their own workbooks with all the explanations. This is an optional extra and not strictly necessary to have successful classes.
