Descriptor: Cognitive development focuses on nurturing children’s growing ability to think, reason, and make sense of the world around them. Throughout the year, children are encouraged to explore, question, and problem-solve through play and guided experiences that build understanding and curiosity. They begin to recognise patterns, sort and classify objects and make simple predictions based on what they observe. Activities are designed to strengthen both auditory and visual perception skills, supporting their ability to listen carefully, follow instructions, recognise differences and similarities, and recall details from memory. These foundational skills contribute to their readiness for more complex learning, helping them to concentrate for longer periods, process information effectively, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.

Descriptor: Physical development is an important area of learning that supports children in gaining control, coordination, and confidence in their movements. During the year, children are encouraged to strengthen both their gross and fine motor skills through a variety of physical activities and play experiences. They explore how their bodies move as they run, jump, climb, and balance, developing coordination and strength. Fine motor skills are nurtured through tasks such as drawing, cutting, building, and manipulating small objects, helping to improve precision and hand–eye coordination. Alongside these skills, children are supported in developing independence in self-care routines and an understanding of the importance of being active and healthy.

Descriptor: Literacy development focuses on strengthening children’s skills in phonics, writing, speaking and comprehension through engaging and meaningful activities. Children explore letter sounds and begin to blend and segment simple CVC words, building early sound recognition and word awareness. Writing is encouraged through purposeful tracing, practising correct letter formation, and beginning to write familiar words with growing confidence. Oral language is developed through discussions, stories, and rhymes that extend vocabulary and support clear expression. Although children are not yet reading independently, they demonstrate understanding by recalling, predicting, and talking about stories, laying a strong foundation for future literacy success.

Descriptor: During the year, our children are introduced to Afrikaans, isiZulu, and South African Sign Language through fun, interactive, and engaging activities that nurture curiosity and confidence in communication. They learn to recognise and use basic vocabulary such as colours, shapes and the days of the week and months of the year across all languages. In Sign Language, they are introduced to the top forty everyday signs, allowing them to express simple needs and greetings while developing awareness and respect for inclusivity. Through songs, games, and repetition, our children build listening and recall skills, laying a strong foundation for a lifelong appreciation of language and communication in a multilingual environment.

Descriptor: During the year, our children explore numeracy through hands-on activities that develop counting, number recognition, basic addition and an understanding of order and sequence, using both numbers and pictures up to ten and beyond. They practise number lines and explore 2D and 3D shapes, learning to recognise, name and describe them. Through games and practical experiences, children build confidence in patterns, comparing quantities and applying their number and shape skills in meaningful ways, laying a strong foundation for future mathematical learning.

Descriptor: During the year, our children explore creative arts through engaging, hands-on activities that nurture imagination, self-expression and confidence. They experiment with colours, textures and materials, creating art that reflects their ideas and experiences. Music and rhythm are an integral part of their learning, as children explore sounds, beat and movement through singing, playing instruments and dancing. Through these experiences, children develop creativity, coordination and a sense of enjoyment in expressing themselves, laying a strong foundation for future artistic and musical growth.
