The art of following a recipe
can encourage self-direction and
independence while also teaching pupils
to follow directions and use thinking skills
to problem-solve. Baking inspires pupils
curiosity, thinking and problem-solving
which offers new opportunities to make
predictions and observations and just have
fun while they’re learning.
Crawford Pre-Primary North Coast
The Grade 00 pupils used their Digital
Literacy skills to build their own houses using
the Simple City Programme.
The Grade 0 Numeracy
curriculum is supported by
educational games. Learning
through a Mathematics
game in Grade 0 not only
teaches addition and number
recognition but also encourages
communication and gives pupils
the opportunity to develop speech
and language skills, as well as
enhance listening.

Fantasy play is an important part of
a child’s play and development. In
fantasy play the pupil experiments
with social roles. They learn how to
take turns, share responsibility and
solve problems.

The Grade 000s have been learning
all about the weather. They began
their investigation by drawing up
a mind map and placing their
questions at the centre of the learning
process. The pupils were given the
opportunity to explore, investigate
and answer their questions through
experiments and discussions.

Once again, the Crawford Village Grade 0s
are on track for Grade 1. This term they put
on their Green Thinking Hats and created
some beautiful artwork. By researching
different techniques and communicating
different ideas, they were able to plan and
create some magnificent multi-layered pieces
of artwork.
All academic skills are taught using
new techniques. Numeracy skills
are one example: We use play
dough to form numbers, count
buttons and lids, match numbers
and count pictures, to name some
examples. Pupils feel as though
they’re simply playing while they’re
absorbing new information. This
ensures that they remain focused
and on the right track to succeed in
gaining a clearer understanding of
basic academic concepts.
After building their numbers
with various manipulatives and
resources, the Grade 0 pupils used
their thinking skills to make simple
comparisons when exploring number
concepts.
