Our environment is at risk, and learners need to be aware of the consequences of not looking after the environment, whether it is local or global. They also learn responsible decision-making as it impacts on their own health and
safety.
Constitutional rights and responsibilities A broad aim of the Life Orientation curriculum is to ensure that our rainbow nation really works and that our learners become good citizens, free of discrimination and able to take responsibility for their actions. This topic will introduce topics such as nation building. Learners should be
introduced to the South African Constution and the Bill of Rights, and understand their rights and responsibilities. They should know what is expected of them as authentic citizens of South Africa. At the same time they will know what they can expect from others. We will also look at human rights violations and gender equality, different
menseregteskendings en geslagsgelykheid. Lastly cultural diversity and social development are covered. Allow learners to share their own traditions, religions and cultures with the class. This can be a good way to promote tolerance and acceptance amongst learners from different cultures.
Physical education
Physical Education (PE) is often seen as being only about teaching learners to play sport and knowing the skills related to that particular sport. However, it is important to remember that PE is not only about playing sport, it is a subject where learners are encouraged to participate in physical activity. Make sure that your lessons are enjoyable and encourage the whole class to
participate. Promote physical movement and healthy habits among all your learners. If you can promote good, healthy choices in young learners now, the possibility of those good healthy choices to be continued throughout their lives is increased. Physical education is a subject that requires you to be well-prepared for your
lessons, especially the outdoor sessions. You need to be able to manage a group of learners and in some cases it may be a very large group. Here are some key strategies to help you conduct effective, efficient and fun PE lessons. The key is to plan ahead. Decide on the activities for the lesson and ask yourself
questions such as the following: • Will it be a whole-class activity or would pairs or groups or a combination of the two work better?
• Will it be a combined boys’ and girls’ lesson? • Who will be choosing the groups - you, or will the learners choose their own
groups? You know your learners and their capabilities and can combine groups with different capabilities. Do not always group the best learners together.
