Daily Programme
Our Grade R programme is guided by the National Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) set by the Department of Basic Education, ensuring a structured and enriching learning experience.
Each day begins with a morning ring, where teachers set the tone for the day, introducing thematic content, sharing news and weather updates, discussing months of the year, and encouraging boys to express their thoughts and feelings. This establishes a sense of routine while fostering engagement and connection.
Following this, our boys participate in various activities across Mathematics, Home Language (English), and Life Skills. Grade R teachers actively monitor each child’s progress, providing guidance, encouragement, and tailored support as needed. By the end of the week, every pupil will have fully engaged in a play-based programme designed to strengthen literacy and numeracy skills.
Beyond core academics, our boys are enriched through Life Skills activities, covering Beginning Knowledge, Personal and Social Well-being, and Creative Arts, which include Visual and Performing Arts and Physical Education. These activities span environmental awareness, personal development, health education, singing, music appreciation, percussion, rhythm, mime, dramatization, 2D and 3D creative art projects, basic ball skills, games, and constructive outdoor play.
Daily snack and toilet routines further reinforce healthy habits, promoting good manners, personal hygiene, and an understanding of a balanced lifestyle.
At Little Bosch, we encourage our boys to:
- Strive for personal achievement, not just for parents or teachers.
- Appreciate their own efforts and take pride in their progress.
- Carry out responsibilities with self-discipline rather than instruction.
- Care for their own belongings.
- Solve problems creatively and make independent decisions.
- Persist beyond the first attempt and embrace perseverance.
- Recognize that winning isn’t everything, but giving one’s best always matters.
Through this dynamic and holistic approach, we equip our boys with essential skills, confidence, and resilience, preparing them for the exciting journey ahead.
