FOREWORD Policy implementation is not an uncomplicated event. It is a process of interpretation and engagement that spans a period of time. We learn from this process and we try to modify interventions so that they become appropriate and relevant to diverse contexts. Our learning over the last decade and more has taught us that we all need to talk, listen and find solutions to the challenges we face. The work schedules are the result of such a policy and learning process. Literacy and Numeracy, together with other areas of work in the Foundation and Intermediate Phases, are important focuses of the Western Cape Education Department. We want to strengthen primary schools and create possibilities for a solid foundation so that we improve the chances of learners in their scholastic careers. We believe that this foundation can improve literacy and numeracy results, pass-rates in general and the throughput rate. South Africa is a developing country and we have heard, in this age of globalisation, that countries involved in the catch-up must produce the necessary skills. So countries such as ours are capable of being competitive and stable. What is more important is to have a community of scholars who are able to read, write and enjoy schooling. The social value of school can be improved if the scholastic effort is enhanced. The work schedules will be regarded as a component of the package that is concerned with the Foundations for Learning Campaign. It is regarded as a tool to bolster and give meaning to the campaign. In view of the perception that campaigns are merely rhetoric, the work schedules will act as support mechanism to give meaning to the building of foundations for literacy and numeracy. It is an attempt to provide guidelines to teachers on how to teach each school day. The work schedules will be sent out with a view to eliciting feedback. They will also be field-tested in selected schools. The documents will be circulated as guidelines in January 2009 and comments requested by July 2009. The work schedules will also be field-tested in July 2009. All comments will inform the further development of work schedules. The Western Cape Education Department is a learning organisation and attempts to understand its environment at all times. This learning process is a continuous one, since we have such a dynamic and rapidly changing context. Bearing this in mind, the invitation for comments and field-testing is an attempt to embrace the notion of a learning organisation through developing insights based on views of teachers, as well as those in other diverse contexts within our province. We know that a one-size-fits-all approach is not a recipe for success. We also know that we all need to listen, talk and find solutions to our challenges. Field-testing and an invitation to comment will give us the space to talk, listen and find solutions as we move forward to a quality education system for all our learners.

WORK SCHEDULE LIFE SKILLS
GRADE 2
INTRODUCTION The Life skills work schedule is a practical guide to help teachers prepare learners for life and its possibilities. It therefore covers the social, personal, intellectual, emotional and physical aspects of what learners should know and be able to do at the end of the Foundation phase. It is envisaged that the topics covered within the work schedule will enable learners to make informed, morally responsible and accountable decisions about their health and the environment. It is further the intention that learners will be encouraged to acquire and practice life skills that will assist them to respond to challenges and play an active and responsible role in the economy and in the society. NCS Grades R -3 (2002).
The work schedule has thus been divided into 5 days and everyday deals with a specific facet of Life skills i.e. Day 1: Health promotion Day 2: Personal development Day 3: Social development Day 4: Physical development Day 5: introduces a new Learning Area and outcome/s to familiarize both the teacher and the learner to other aspects of the curriculum that does not often get the allotted time attention due to it causing deficit in the fundamental understanding of a specific learning area when the learner enters the Intermediate phase. The time allocation for Life skills is:
o Grade 1 and 2 : 1 hr 10 minutes o Grade 3 : 1 hr 15 minutes
It is intended for the teacher to follow the daily/weekly programme as illustrated for the learner to ultimately portray a balanced approach to life.
