Grade 1 Class is a mixed class of kids from 6-7 years of age.They are normally called lower primary class because they are above Kindergarten by one year of class.They range from 14 to around 18 children in class.They speak English,read English and write English.The participation of Grade one is class is super .
The subjects or lessons they learn are as follows;-English Language,English Reading,Mathematics,Social Studies,Science,Swahili,Christian Religious Education.
They have a timetable with a break of 45 minutes interval.After such an interval another subject is taught as per the timetable.
All the subjects have the text books and teachers or volunteers teach from text books.The teachers give class work as well as homework.Class work is to test the class what they have learned.
The class is important because it has just moved from Kindergarten to lower primary level where thew syllabus is different.The class required support in getting to learn new subjects like Christian Religious Education,Science and Social studies.
The volunteers will engage in the teaching after orientation on how to teach, marking the exercise books which has class work and homework.They will also give class work written on thew black board and check the work.
Before the kids leave for home they will give homework from the work they have been teaching so that they revise more as they do the work at home. The homework is done at home and brought the next day for checking and revision before another work in class is given. We have four teachers on the ground in every class to show way.
