JANUARY / TERM 1 FAMILY LAUNCH

Ten weeks.
One calm start.

Read, count, move, make, talk and save one small receipt. Term 1 now includes English, Maths, Life Skills core, Creative Arts and Physical Education rather than leaving arts/movement as blank gates.

🔢 Mathematics

Use real objects first. Let the child show, move, draw and explain before expecting symbols.

OPEN EXACT MATHS BLOCK →

🌱 Life Skills

    Beginning Knowledge + Personal & Social Well-being are exact Term 1 source objects. Creative Arts + PE stay pending.

    MAKE + MOVE

    🎨 Creative Arts

    Original MN mapped activity · registered Life Skills coordinate · not labelled exact matrix extraction.

    🏃 Physical Education

    Use a safe equivalent for disability/access needs. Movement quality is observed, not ranked against other children.

    DO THIS AT HOME

    No special worksheet is required. Use voice, paper, pencil, books/pictures and ordinary household objects.

    75-MINUTE SCHOOL DAY

    This is a practical family rhythm, not a claim about a prescribed DBE daily timetable. Stretch or shorten it around the learner.

    ONE SMALL RECEIPT

    TERM 1 SOURCE BOUNDARY

    The DBE Grade 1 English Term 1 plan explicitly starts with readiness work and integrates listening/speaking, phonics, reading, writing and handwriting. The DBE Life Skills plan allocates the opening weeks to readiness/perceptual development and then moves through Me, At School, Healthy Habits and Weather. MN now binds all 50 English Home Language Term 1 coordinates and 20 Life Skills Beginning Knowledge / Personal & Social Well-being coordinates to exact two-week source objects. Creative Arts and Physical Education now have original MN mapped learner activities for every registered Term 1 coordinate; exact X-marker matrix reconciliation remains pending, so those activities are not labelled exact-source extraction.
