GRADE 1 · SDA FULL YEAR40 WEEKS · 4 TERMS · BIBLE + CAPS + SERVICE
Grade 1.
Adventist all year.
Not a Bible tab bolted onto school. Each week connects Scripture, Grade 1 language, maths, Life Skills, health, service, Sabbath preparation and a real piece of evidence.

📖 Bible
Use your family's Bible translation or an age-appropriate retelling. MN provides references, not copied Encounter lessons.
🎯 Adventist alignment
These public NAD standard codes are a denominational reference, not South African curriculum authority.

FIVE-DAY FAITH & LIFE ARC
Suggested Bible/faith block: 30–45 minutes daily. Shorten it when the learner needs shorter blocks; the core academic day continues through MN Grade 1.

Evidence to keep
Friday → Sabbath preparation
A family may adapt this to local church practice, disability, travel, work realities and actual sunset information.
Academic core stays live
SDA mode adds the faith/worldview layer. It does not replace Grade 1 Mathematics, Home Language or Life Skills teaching.
TERM REVIEW
Know it. Explain it. Live it.
At the end of each term, use the original MN knowledge check and portfolio task. The check never grades prayer, conversion, conscience or closeness to God.
OPEN TERM REVIEW →ACADEMIC TRUTH BOUNDARY
The Adventist year is complete. The underlying Grade 1 academic beta remains honest.
The SDA faith-and-life layer covers 40 school weeks. It sits on MN’s existing Grade 1 academic route: Mathematics has exact ATP week-block objects; Life Skills core has exact objects; English Term 1 is exact while later-term English still uses source-backed teaching bands during source-catalogue reconciliation. Do not market this as proof that every Grade 1 CAPS source cell is fully materialised.

No spiritual score
Assess Bible knowledge, reading, reasoning, work and service participation. Do not score whether the child believes enough or prays correctly.
No fear curriculum
End-times, death and conflict are taught calmly and age-appropriately. No dates, graphic imagery or frightening speculation.
Safety outranks a lesson
Children are never required to reconcile with unsafe people, disclose grief, donate money, contact unfamiliar adults or publish beneficiaries' stories.
