ONLINE LEARNING


 For all the moms and dads out there, trying to make sure your kids are still learning through the syllabus work (and keep your sanity) , this page is for you. 

Online learning has been slow to catch on but now that we're forced to,  you'll find heaps of information. Below are links to try to help you find what you are looking for.  I add more as I find them so please check back with us regularly.
Dept of Education free resources.  This site has full lesson plans created for teachers that we, as parents can use to teach our kids Maths, English, Zulu/other African languages, Natural Science and Physical Science from Grade 1 to Grade 12.

Pick n Pay has joined the move to make school resources available online to parents, teachers and students. It's 30 days access free, thereafter you pay R65 per user per grade (you can register up to 3 grades).  You will need to register with your SmartShopper card number.  Check it out.

 Another great site for listen to audio books is Amazon who has made it free to stream while the lockdown is in force

 Audio Books at Amazon


For adults or your older teenagers try the following sites to not only allow you to get free business or workplace courses but once you complete the course, you could have a Diploma or Certificate to your name.  These platforms allow you to access the course content free while only paying for the Diploma or Certificate on completion.  

Alison online learning - certificates and Diplomas cost is usually around $12 or so


 Elearning platform - this one is a little more expensive to use but they have great courses
For kids in school- It's such a schlep to search through mountains of website links and documents to get to the right ones so I've simplified a bit for you.

for easy, fun exercises for the kids on curriculum-based topics for school projects, school assignments
and subjects. 

Parent24 has listed some free study guides that you can save to laptop and work on it later or 
set it to print. From Grade 4 to Grade 12, take a quick peek.

Parent24 again with help for matrics with previous year's maths question papers and some even 
have the marking memo attached. Now you can see exactly how you need to answer these questions.


For the Primary School darlings who conveniently forgot their blue school workbooks in the class, 
this is The Department of Education link to download some of the blue books for Grade R to Grade 6.

Also below are some phonics and other helpers to get you reading this holiday.


  



I know this might seem like a mountain already but this what our kids are really facing in school today. And hats off to the Department and the teachers for all they do, even if we do grumble about them from time to time, just check out this 2019  infographic.


Keep calm, I say and learn on.

WORLD OF SCONES Once a month while growing up, my parents would bundle us up in the bus or taxi and chart us off to our grandparents for lunch and afternoon tea,just for the day. Afternoon tea was without fail, coconut donuts, scones and Hungarian jam tart.  You got a piece of each and you had to finish it all.  As I grew up it became my monthly torture. It took years of my adult live to rediscover that I actually like scones again. But it was mostly because I discovered a world of different types of scones. Yes, there is, I kid you not. There's sweet or savoury; filled or plain; round, square or triangle; Irish, British ......the list is endless. I had only ever eaten the plain round ones filled with jam and here was a whole world of scones. Some I tried were fantastic, others were best loved by their own creators . But rushing to work in the early crisp winter mornings in Pretoria, I used to pass by an African mama who made the most wonde...

LEVEL 4 HERE WE COME It's been a strange couple of years in this 2020, don't you think? Killer virus threatening to wipe out the world. Entire countries ground to a standstill by an invisible force of nature.  Crumbling economies, joblessness. Grim reports all round or is it? 😨 People have been stuck at home now for over a month.  Family time is now actually spent with families instead answering emails on cellphones and "just checking" laptops. Yes, there is a lot of good that has come out of this lockdowns.  One of the most important lessons perhaps is that we need each other.  Money can be made again.  Economies will rise and crumble but people will bounce back, like we always do. 💑👪 That's the beauty of the human race.  We are resilient and resourceful. One of the things that I know has been a major struggle for my kids is the lack of Domino's Pizza.   Italian Pizzeria Ok, so we don't have take out...
