4. Recommendations
Recommendations Reducing the number of display areas (closeareas and pack away resources) -which will givemore space for the learners to sit/stand/moveand reduce the temptation of the learners tofiddle and touch the display items. The theme table remains and is only touched bythe teacher. Items which are easily accessible canbe brought by the learners and teacher toobserve. These must be sanitized. Learners must keep their distance and onlyobserve these items from a distance unless theyhave their own.
Recommendations Create a “COVID safe/ty corner” place the sanitizingcontainers, water and soap, mask sealed in a transparentplastic bag and thermometer so that they become partand parcel of the class environment. Initially discussfrequently to reinforce use and importance daily. Examples - Songs with actions should be used to teachlearners correct way to wash hands (wash hands for 20seconds) – not to touch their face, be aware of touchingsurfaces, greeting and how to sneeze and coughcorrectly. Display a Poster in the “safety corner” with clear pictures(showing the order) for young learners about the basicsteps to be safe – wash hands, sanitizer (explain what thisis (look, touch and smell) and why/how we must use it)and social distancing.
Recommendations Creative ways should be considered to help ourlearners adapt to social distancing in the classroom.E.g. use brightly colour tape to make a mark “X” whereeach learner can sit for greeting, story or movement onthe spot. Place a dot/sticker on tables where they can sit ingroups. Make the most of the floor space, sitting onmats and at tables. Move tables so that all the learnerscan sit on plastic mats or cardboard mats. By doing this consistently the learners will learn whatto do and feel safe in their classroom Routine will create discipline and a safe environment.
Recommendations Introduce the additional rules during Orientationand Safety week and then reinforce DAILY. Thesecan be visually illustrated on a chart. Show learners through song and rhymes how topractice social distancing i.e. spread out arms toside, [right and left, front and back] and no onecan come into that space when doing activities,walking to toilet and eating. diligently supervise moving from one place toanother and eating routine.
Recommendations Resourcing for the daily activities will require carefulplanning. Consider each learner having a container oftheir own with scissors, crayons, bag of play doughand name tag. Where resources are limited ways of sanitizing must beprioritized in planning. Books, puzzles, cardboardgames (dominoes) are wiped down with dampsanitized cloth. Other items such as brushes, scissors, crayons, beads,cubes, blocks, instruments, plastic spades buckets andplastic objects to be washed after use every day beforethe next group uses it.
Recommendations Whilst disinfection and social distancing are strictrequirements which will should be adhered to inpreventing the spread of COVID 19, activities suchas Physical Education and Creative Arts areimperatives in the curriculum. Carefully planned outdoor play (15 minutes eachday) can take place under strict supervision. Nosharing of any equipment unless it has beensanitized and the use of the Jungle gym isstrongly discouraged. Learners are to use theirown bean bag, or a ball made from crumblednewspaper.
5. Conclusion
Conclusion Life Skills is the vehicle to develop learners holisticallyand address psycho social support. It keeps learnersgrounded and provides a safe space where learnerssing, dance and do movement. Whilst it develops important skills as a foundation forlearning, it provides an outlet and is therapeutic. The importance of Life Skills must be consciouslyconsidered daily.
Conclusion It is still possible to cover all the study areas in LifeSkills in the Grade R Although Life Skills is not used for progressionpurposes in the Foundation Phase, the foundationalskills are important as it is progressively developed;holding tools, spatial orientation, pre-reading andpre-writing skills. Skills can further be strengthened in 2021 when thelearner progresses to the next grade. The Grade R teacher will be able to cover thecurriculum during this exceptional time.
ConclusionCreate a safe, friendly, stable, loving environment for ourlearners.Teachers are to be mindful of the following:o Learners could be traumatized due the impact of the COVID 19.o A positive, self-confident learner before the lockdown, can now displayfeelings of insecurity and changed behavioural patternso Some may have family members/friends who were/are affected.o Learners may experience separation anxiety from parents/caregivers. Grade R teachers have a critical role play. Be observant and offerpsycho social support at classroom/school level Next level support to be put in place for urgent intervention
