• Health promotion;

• Social development;

• Personal development and

• Physical development and movement.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This Learning Area aims to empower learners to:

• Develop positive social relationships and values

• Know their own rights and the responsibilities that these require as well as respect therights of others

Self-in-societyLearners must find a place for themselves in a world increasingly different from that in which theirparents lived. Hence the focus of the development of self-in-society (centre circle), with the outercircle being those things that impact on society and the learners, and the four focus areas of theLife Orientation Learning Area occupying the space between the two.

The following 4 focus areas shape the Learning Outcomes that address thedevelopmental needs of the Foundation Phase learner in the society:

Health promotionMany social and personal problems are associated with lifestyle choices and high-risk behaviours.The Learning Area Statement addresses issues relating to nutrition, communicable diseasesincluding HIV/AIDS, safety, violence, abuse and environmental health.

Social developmentPersonal development needs to be placed in a social context. TheLearning Area Statement therefore, deals with human rights ascontained in the South African constitution, social relationships anddiverse cultures and religions. The term ‘religion’ is used to includebelief systems and worldviews. Individuals will realise that they are partof the broader community, and will learn to see their own identities inharmony with those of others.

Personal developmentPersonal development is central to learning and focuses on life skillsdevelopment, emotional development, self-concept formation and self-empowerment.

Physical development and movementPlay, movement, games and sport contribute to developing positive attitudes and values. This areafocuses on perceptual motor development, games and sport, physical growth and development,and recreation and play.

PART 2To the EducatorLife Orientation is instrumental in promoting a meaningful lifestyle for each learner. Each of theoutcomes in this learning area is intended to develop the various personal aspects of the learner,individually, within the group, family and community and within the environment. At FoundationPhase level these are very closely linked to the developmental stages of the learner. The fact thatlearners mature at different rates means that planning and the structure of activities must providefor a full range of responses.

Learning Outcomes (LO’s) can and should each have their own identity, but in this learning area theywill seldom be dealt with in isolation. There will be frequent planned linking with other LO’s in thelearning area, as well as across all six learning areas in this Learning Programme. The essence ofeach LO, however, should not be lost as the Assessment Standards (AS) give clear direction to theselection of concepts, knowledge, skills, values and attitudes.

Because of the emphasis on the development of the individual within this learning area the LearningsOutcomes have been considered from an “I” approach, an individual viewpoint. This however, isconstantly placed back into the family and community perspective, as it is only in this context thateach one (individual) finds their real value.

To the LearnerWHO AM I?

I am important because I am a person and no one else is quite like me. There are many things I liketo do and many things I would like to learn. I need to know how to find out the information I needand how to make choices so that I can make good decisions.

But I don’t always do things on my own. I have a family and friends and there are many people inour diverse community and culture that I know. My family and friends help to protect me and carefor me. I also like to help and care for the people I know. How to care for the environment andhow it affects my health is also very important. In our democracy it is important for me to know myrights and to take responsibility for them while respecting the rights of others.

I am still growing and would like to grow strong and healthy so I need proper food, enough sleepand time to play with my friends and exercise my body. I think learning at school should also be fun.I learn best when I am enjoying what I do.

Life Orientation is a very important part of my learning, because it will help me in all the other thingsI do in school and in the playground and even at home.

ISSUES that might be important for your learners areset in a speech bubble. These are only possibilities, not

prescriptions. Use the real experiences the class brings withthem for developing discussion and learning.

Here are the four learning outcomes and some of the things I can learn.

LO 1: The learner will be able to make informed decisions regarding personal, communityand environmental health.

To stay healthy I need to:

• Keep clean• Eat properly

I must know about the prevention and causes of:

• Childhood diseases • HIV/AIDS

We need to look after the world around us so that it does not become polluted and cause healthproblems. This means we must make choices about the environment where we live and play tokeep it clean and safe.

Safety is important in all kinds of places:

• At school• At home• On the road• In water

I know where to find help and who to confide in when I need help.

Have you been inoculated against measlesand mumps?

Why are some foodscalled junk foods?

Do you know how torecycle material and keep

water clean?

Are rules importantfor safety?

If you believe something iswrong, should you be made to do it?

What could you say/do?

Do you know thecontact details of people who

can help when you needit?

Page 15: REVISED NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATEMENT€¦ · This resource material should always be used in conjunction with the Revised National Curriculum Statement Grades R – 9 Policy document.

LO 2: The learner will be able to demonstrate and understanding of and commitment toconstitutional rights and responsibilities, and to show an understanding of diversecultures and religions.

I know what our national flag looks like and can sing the national anthem.

I also know about our national symbols like the blue crane, the springbok and the kingprotea, the real yellowwood tree and the galjoen fish.

I know what we believe in our family and can identify the symbols and celebrations of our religion. The other religions in our community and country also have symbols and celebrations that we canlearn about.

Different people in our community have different ways of doing things. I like to tell stories about my culture and enjoy listening to other’s telling their stories.

Do I know people whose rights are not respected in my community?I have rights and responsibilities and want others to respect these.I understand that other people also have rights and I will respect them. This means that my schooland classroom rules are important.

• Are people safe in our community?• How can I decide what is a safe

place?

People have different roles to play in our family, our community and our school. I need to respectthese.

Friends are important and we do many things together.To be a happy community we need to learn to accept and to forgive oneanother and to share with each other.

Foundation Phase RNCS resource material compiled by WCED Curriculum Planners - 2003 - © 13

Life Orientation

What do you know about theclothing and diet of different

religions in South Africa?

Do you enjoy hearing about different rolemodels from these cultures?

I know what makes a goodleader and can help to choose thepeoples who will be leaders in my

class and school.

Are you a goodfriend?

Page 16: REVISED NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATEMENT€¦ · This resource material should always be used in conjunction with the Revised National Curriculum Statement Grades R – 9 Policy document.

LO 3: The learner will be able to use acquired life skills to achieve and extend personalpotential to respond effectively to challenges in his or her world.

Some things I can do well, other things I do not do as well as others can. I enjoy the things I can do well and must practise those things that I don’t do so well.

I can tell you my name and where I live.

I take care of my body because I know how it works and what I need to do to look after it.

I have feelings - sometimes I feel happy, sometimes cross, sometimes sad.When I feel angry it is sometimes difficult not to hurt someone ordamage something. When things I am used to haveto change I sometimes find it difficult not to get upset.Growing up is not always easy.

Working in a group means that we all have to work together and not fight with each other. Lots ofthings are fun to do in a group.

Do you also know yourtelephone number?

Do you like who you are?

How do you feel when youlose/win?

How can you agree onwhat to do when you each

want to do differentthings?

Page 17: REVISED NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATEMENT€¦ · This resource material should always be used in conjunction with the Revised National Curriculum Statement Grades R – 9 Policy document.

LO 4: The learner will be able to demonstrate and understanding of, and participate in,activities that promote movement and physical development

Movement activities help my body become strong and healthy. This means I can learn more easily.

I like to make choices and explore different ways ofmoving, even difficult ways:

• On my own

• With a partner or group

• When there are objects that challenge my movement and make me do it differently

• When I play with a ball or hoop or rope to throw, hit, roll, bounce and jump

• Using a combination of body parts to travel, turn and roll, jump and balance

• To express different moods and feelings with sounds

• I can move and make shapes with my body: • fast and slow; • forwards and backwards; • curved and straight; • big and small; • high and low

When we play games we have to decide on rules and keep to them so that everyone has a fairturn

Foundation Phase RNCS resource material compiled by WCED Curriculum Planners - 2003 - © 15

TABLE FOR PLANNING

The following table has been created to help with curriculum planning within and betweengrades in the Foundation Phase. It is derived from the Revised National CurriculumStatement Policy Document Learning area Statement for Life Orientation.

The table covers the following content:-

PHASE Foundation Phase (and grade 4)GRADES R, 1, 2, 3, (and grade 4)LEARNING AREA Life OrientationLEARNING OUTCOMES 1, 2, 3, 4AND ASSESSMENT STANDARDS

Each grade is shown in a column.

The grade after the Phase (Grade 4) is also shown in a column to indicate progressionbetween phases. This column is shaded in grey to show that it is not part of the Phase.

Assessment Standards are numbered for convenience:-

Eg : R.1.1 / 1.1.1 / 2.1.3 / 3.4.2

The first digit = the gradeThe second digit = the learning outcomeThe third digit = the individual assessment standard (a bullet in the original policy

document version) Each assessment standard within a learning area thus has its own individual number. Teachers are asked to usethis system for their planning and recording as the WCED will adopt it for purposes of clarity and uniformity.

You can access this table and others for other learning areas through the WCEDCurriculum Directorate webpage. Go to http://curriculum.wcape.school.za/ncs/index.

You can print out these tables.You can also download and save on your hard drive.
