Memorandum

In this module, we use an overall theme of journeys to cover the various assessment standards. Every day we make several trips or small journeys from home to school or the shops, etc. In doing so we need to observe the rules of the road. These rules keep us safe, not only on the road but at school as well. Our journey through the day at school is made safe by the observance of school rules, which apply to our health as well as maintaining discipline in the school.

  • Our lives, too, can be viewed as a journey and the friendships we make can make or break the “ride”. In Life’s journey we encounter many problems. The children will be encouraged to identify an “issue” in the community and to brainstorm a solution.

Discuss how the children get to school. Lead the discussion to the fact that the rules of the road contribute to the safety of road users. They should also realise that pedestrians use the roads and that they should recognise the relevant road signs.

  • Let the learners make two puppets and act out their “walk” for the activity. The dialogue will emerge from the three questions about friends. (A&C4.3). They may need two lessons to prepare and display their shows.

Present the activity in a relaxed manner, but without music at first. In a follow-up lesson, allow them to move in time to music. They can either prepare something in time to music of their own choice or you may choose a piece of music and they must then create their own ‘dance’ (A&C 3.1).
