Autumn in the forest

Educator section

Memorandum

Educator’s page :

The adventures of the Wops family are closely related to the experience of every learner in Grade I, boys as well as girls. They may be exposed to a different environment if they live in towns and cities and through the stories become aware of what it is like to live in a forest without the ordinary amenities like running water and electricity.

Educators need to remember that many learners in Grade I will not have attended Grade R and consequently skills, strategies and concepts for Grade R will not have been learnt. The educator in Grade I must ensure that these are covered in the work that is done with these learners.

Listening and speaking should form a firm foundation on which to build literacy. The degree to which learners can speak their home language will vary according to circumstances, and educators should be aware of their levels of competence.

Language development is a gradual process and learners need the support of the educator to become increasingly more accurate in the use of their home language.

In Grade I learners become involved in listening to and reading stories, writing for genuine purposes, and learning phonics. The classroom environment should be a place that reflects and encourages all aspects of learning the home language.

Time scheduled for the modules 1 to 8

All learners should complete all eight modules doing approximately two modules per term. Allow the learners to proceed at their own speed.

The Wops have feasts every season. In this module they are celebrating autumn.

Baby Wops disappears and the Wise Old Owl helps them find her.

Jumbled words help learners solve the riddles.

  • Writing and Phonics: q, u, y, i, j, t, x, z.
  • Wordbuilding: de, pe.

Integration of themes

With the Wops celebrating Autumn in the forest, attention is drawn to the ways in which different cultures have different celebrations – Social Justice – Learners become sensitive to these differences.

Integrate with mathematics and life orientation.

Where is baby wop? chapter 1

Have you ever got lost? It happens so quickly! The one moment you are still holding Mummy’s hand and then – all of a sudden she’s gone! Can you remember how worried Mummy was?

Well then you’ll know exactly how Mummy Wop and all the other Wops felt because Baby Wop had disappeared! Gone! Nobody could find her! The Wops had been looking all morning but there was no sign of her. Walter the warthog had been scouring the forest since sunrise with Willy Wop and Licky Lizard on his back. Sam and Terry had looked everywhere. They even climbed the trees to see whether they could see Baby Wop somewhere. Everyone was worried. “Baby Wop is only one year old and it’s getting dark! Where can she be?” They all said.

All the Wops knew they must not be out in the dark. They knew they must be safe at home at sunset. There were too many dangers in the forest. Foxes hunt little Wops! The forest was also full of strange noises during the night! “Baby Wop! Baby Wop!” they all called loudly.
