<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Many thanks Walu for setting the ball rolling Jaco and James make equally interesting interventions. From a laymans perspective in class one i would like to teach the child to pay attention as well as have some structured way of thinking and solving problems as such the child should<br>
a) Be able to listen<br></div>b) Be able to engage in problem solving<br></div>c) Be able to communicate his thoughts and idea from mind to paper or any other platform<br></div>We also need to have in mind the short attention span of the child and look at ways of making the lessons more exciting. Jaco could you kindly expound on your answers, they sound very insightfull.<br>

indicated by Walubengo - mainly covering Mathematical literacy (or<br>
Numeracy), information literacy(including reading and writing) and<br>
computer/digital literacy. Of course depending on how these basic<br>
literacies are taught other literacies can be implied (for example<br>
environmental, cultural).<br>
<br>
Is there anyone with the content of Standard One curricula or syllabi?<br>
This would greatly shape our discussions.<br>
