Term 1 uses the same English, exact Maths, Life Skills core, Creative Arts and PE learning route.
OPEN TERM 1 →MICHAEL NOAH™
GRADE 1 · JEHOVAH’S WITNESS FULL YEAR40 WEEKS · 4 TERMS · BIBLE + CAPS + SERVICE
Grade 1.
Bible + family worship all year.
A family-selected Jehovah’s Witness Grade 1 year: Bible learning, Jehovah, Jesus, God's Kingdom, family worship, congregation life, conscience and service wrapped around concrete Grade 1 language, maths and Life Skills.
GRADE 1 READINESS STAYS ACADEMIC
Faith context does not change the readiness bar.
Use the same Michael Noah 18-item readiness snapshot and tracked 8-week / 40-day bridge for language, number sense, school habits and movement. Meeting attendance, ministry participation, prayer or future baptism intention must never become a Grade 1 admission, readiness or academic-success criterion.
SAME FINISHED GRADE 1 BACKBONE
2 · Whole-year coverage

📖 Bible
Use your family's lawful Bible and age-appropriate official/family resources. MN gives references and original prompts; it does not copy the New World Translation or JW publications.
🎯 Witness lens
Jehovah’s Witness beliefs are labelled as that tradition's theology. Academic subjects keep their own evidence standards.
🇿🇦 CAPS connections
FIVE-DAY FAITH & LIFE ARC
Suggested faith block: about 20–35 minutes daily. Shorten it when needed; the core Grade 1 academic day continues through MN.
BUILD + PROVE
Evidence to keep
Family Worship + congregation rhythm
Families choose their actual meeting and Family Worship schedule. No child is sent alone to strangers or required to preach as proof of learning.
Academic core stays live
Witness mode is an opt-in faith layer on the same Grade 1 academic engine. It never replaces or lowers the academic evidence standard.
TERM REVIEW
Know it. Explain it. Use it.
The original MN knowledge check assesses vocabulary, Bible/religion knowledge and safe application. It never grades prayer, conversion, conscience, sacramental status, baptism intention or closeness to God.
OPEN TERM REVIEW →ACADEMIC TRUTH BOUNDARY
The 40-week Jehovah’s Witness layer and the Grade 1 learner experience are complete at different evidence levels.
The faith layer covers 40 school weeks. The shared academic engine has learner-facing coverage across all 436 registered Grade 1 coordinates, while exact/source-materialised status remains 218/436. The remaining 218 use original MN mapped learning objects pending exact DBE-source verification. Do not market this as whole-grade CAPS-exact, independently moderated, or official Jehovah’s Witness denominational curriculum.
PARENT BOUNDARIES
No spiritual score
Assess knowledge, reading, reasoning, work and service participation. Do not score whether the child believes enough, prays correctly or is ready for a religious commitment.
No fear or pressure
Death, conflict, judgement and end-times themes stay calm and age-appropriate. No graphic imagery, frightening speculation or coercion.
Safety outranks a lesson
Children are never required to contact unfamiliar adults, disclose grief, donate money, reconcile with unsafe people or publish another person's story.
