My Family

My Family is a very important topic in Life Skills for the Grade 1s. Parents and family form a child's first relationship, they are every child's first teacher and act as role models on how to behave at home and school.

Strong, happy families usually bring up strong, happy, great kids. It is through family that the little ones learn values such as trust, hope, belief, culture and morals. Grade one teachers understand the importance of sowing the seeds of the importance of the theme My Family in children's lives. Teachers and learners got busy this week trying to come up with creative ways of displaying different families. Ice cream sticks, paper cups and plastic papers were used to create presentations. Learners were happy to use these in creating images of their families.
