Grade R is all about setting up for success
Grade R acts as a bridge between pre-primary preparing learners for grade 1. In Grade R, children officially become learners. In MW de Wet our Grade R learners move from an unstructured learning to a more structured learning, here we will help the learners to expand their concentration span to follow structured lessons from the formal curriculum for the first time which prepares them for formal schooling.
Grade R which is known as the Reception Year is the year of schooling before Grade 1.

Our Grade R class is taught within a prescribed curriculum, according to the relevant Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) documents. Grade R falls under the Foundational Phase, in which learning content focuses on three subjects, namely Language, Mathematics and Life Skills. We do not formally teach language, mathematics, and life skills, but expose the Grade R learners to these fields, through integrated play-based activities. After all, as the wise Dr Seuss said “Children want the same things we want. To laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted.” MW de Wet would love to welcome your child to our grade R program.
