How this course is shaped

Introduction

This is a Physical Education and Arts course for ECD A (Ages 3–4). A young child learns with play, songs, pictures and kind talk. An adult should sit nearby, praise effort, and stop before the child is tired. We follow Zimbabwe’s Heritage-Based Curriculum: Ubuntu/Unhu, home language, and real life first.

What you will learn

You will grow in Physical Education and Arts through these units: My body can move; Walking, running and stopping; Playing together safely; Drawing with colours; Songs and clapping; Making simple shapes. By the end you should be able to talk about each idea, try a task, and connect it to home and Zimbabwe.

How we learn

We learn in tiny steps. We look, we say, we do, we praise. If the child looks away, we pause. Short, happy lessons beat long, hard ones.

What you need

Crayons, paper, and something to count or hold. An adult nearby to help. Open space to move. Paper and crayons. Water to drink after play.
