The Curriculum
The teachers of Grade R (Yellow Group), Blue Group and Red Group use the early childhood development school-readiness programme called "Day by Day". It is an excellent programme which ensures that all aspects of the departmental curriculum are covered. We have been using this programme for the past six years. The programme is updated regularly and this year the Grade R's will use the CAPS edition. The teachers are happy to tell you more about "Day by Day", so please feel free to ask.

There are various themes that are covered each term. We encourage you, the parents and guardians, to become involved in the themes, and the children are invited to do simple tasks at home and bring them back to Little Star. Children in Grade R will be given homework tasks to do every week. It is vital that you encourage and guide your child and that the work is completed and sent back to Little Star the following day.
