Welcome to Grade 3
Grade 3 is a year of many firsts and a few lasts…
Grade 3 is a year of consolidating on the foundations that were set from Grade R to Grade 2. The learners are more independent and responsible. The educators follow a holistic approach towards learners. This approach enables them to form balanced and happy learners.
Grade 3 is the first year where it is expected of learners to present a formal oral in both their first and second languages. It is also the first year when learners do formal assessments in Xhosa, Technology and their second language.
Each Grade 3 class is equipped with a whiteboard and projector. This equipment makes it possible for Mimio and interactive lessons to be presented. This was successfully implemented in 2010 and the learners enjoy working on this board. The learners enjoy working on this board. The classes were also equipped with internet connections making communication such as email, much easier.
Below are some of the discussion points that will be dealt with at the parent information meeting.
Lastly, we would like to assure you, that we are looking forward to teaching your child in Grade 3.

Baie welkom in Graad 3
Graad 3 is ‘n jaar in u kind se lewe vol baie eerstes en ‘n paar laastes...
In die laaste jaar van u kind se Grondslagfase word daar voortgebou en afgerond aan die fondasies wat in Gr R tot 2 gelê is. Die leerders is meer onafhanklik en verantwoordelik. Die onderwysers volg ‘n heelkind benadering om sodoende ‘n gebalanseerde en gelukkige leerder te vorm.
Graad 3 is die eerste jaar wanneer daar van leerders verwag word om formele mondelings in beide eerste en tweede taal te doen. Dit is ook die eerste jaar wanneer hulle assesserings moet aflê in Xhosa, Tegnologie en 2de Taal.
Elke klaskamer in Graad 3 is toegerus met ‘n dataprojektor en daar word gebruik gemaak van Mimio om interaktiewe lesse moontlik te maak. Dit is groot sukses in 2010 aangebring en die leerders geniet dit baie om met die bord te werk. Die klasse is ook toegerus met internetpunte wat kommunikasie dmv epos vergemaklik.
Hieronder noem ons ‘n paar besprekingspunte soos aan ouers met die oueraand deurgegee word.
Ten laaste wil ons u verseker dat ons baie uitsien daarna om u kind in Graad 3 te onderrig.
Ouerinligting
Doelwitte in Graad 3
• Aanleer van onafhanklikheid en verantwoordelikheid
• Aanleer van luistervaardighede en leer om instruksies uit te voer.
• Leer om ander te respekteer en te verdra
• Leer om opdragte binne ‘n bepaalde tyd uit te voer.
Klasorganisasie
• Die klasse verskil – moenie dit met mekaar vergelyk nie.
• Onderwysers beplan saam maar onderrig elkeen anders.
• DISSIPLINE – Belonings en gevolge verskil van klas tot klas.
• Alle geld in duidelik gemerkte koeverte.
• Voltooi asseblief afskeurstrokies en stuur dit stiptelik terug skool toe.
• Merk alle klere en besittings.
• Hou ‘n stel skryfbehoeftes by die huis vir huiswerk.
• Pak gesonde pousekos in.
• Verjaardae – geen groot koeke nie, kolwyntjies en partytjiepakkies is makliker om uit te deel en te geniet.
• Herwinningspunte moet neergeskryf en deur ‘n ouer geteken word – dit verhoed oordrywing.
• Assesseringsboeke sal elke paar weke huis toe gestuur word – gaan dit deeglik na sodat die areas waar ekstra ondersteuning nodig is, aangespreek kan word.
• Biblioteekboek vir stillees
• Ons ondersteun Animal Anti-cruelty as ons liefdadigheidsprojek. Stuur asseblief enige komberse, handdoeke, dierespeelgoed wat u nie meer gebuik nie, ens. wanneer ons daarvoor vra.
• Ouerkontak – maak ‘n afspraak met die klasonderwyser wanneer daar iets is wat bespreek moet word. Onderwysers is vanweë vergaderings, sport- en ander verpligtinge nie altyd direk na skool beskikbaar nie.
• Moet asseblief nie aan die einde van die dag buite die klas vir jou kind wag nie. Dit trek die aandag van die leerders en onderwysers af. Reël dat jy jou kind by een van die skoolhekke ontmoet.
Huiswerk
• Volwasse toesig is nodig.
• Ouers moet elke dag teken – nie net nasorg onderwyser nie
• Geen huiswerk op ‘n Vrydag – behalwe agterstallige werk.
• Projekte en mondelinge met 1-2 weke kennisgewing
• Inspekteer hare gereeld vir luise. Behandel dit DADELIK en laat weet die klasonderwyser sodat algemene haarinspeksies gehou kan word.
Teleskool
Teleskool nr. 021 976 3046 uitbr 7
Uitstappies
• Geld sal op jou rekening gedebiteer word.
• Help asseblief met vervoer indien moontlik
• Moet asseblief nie die kinders wat jy vervoer met lekkers ens. bederf nie. As jy ons wil bederf, bederf ALMAL. Ons is mal daaroor om bederf te word!
