Exciting Update for Our Foundation Phase Classrooms!

November 2024

We are thrilled to give you an update on the incredible collaboration with the amazing Janette Jooste, WCED Foundation Phase Curriculum Advisor, as we roll out new mathematics resources designed to inspire groupwork and boost learning in our Grade 2 & 3 classrooms! 

These resources are a game-changer! By encouraging groupwork, we’re not only promoting a positive, collaborative learning environment but also supporting discipline and social skill development. As Janette highlights, groupwork isn’t just fun—it’s foundational to building essential skills for our learners.

A HUGE thank you to the incredible team working with the Bitou 10 Foundation on this project:
???? Hanlie Botha for compiling these brilliant materials
???? Mrs. Cuka for her dedication in translating them into isiXhosa

These CAPS-aligned resources are available in English, Afrikaans, and isiXhosa and are designed to build mathematical vocabulary, encourage critical thinking, and make learning fun with exciting games and activities!

Here’s the best part—we’re building on this project year by year:
✅ Last year: Grade 3 materials were created
✅ This year: Grade 2 materials were added
✅ Next year: We are planning to add Grade 1 materials to complete the Foundation Phase!

We’re so excited to see how these resources will continue to support our teachers and learners in the years ahead!

A special shout-out to the Hermann Ohlthaver Trust for their generous donation—your support makes all the difference!

Together, we’re creating brighter futures through education!
