3.1 Introduction
All the activities in the workbook are guided observations and need to take place in the
Foundation Phase (Grades R to 3) classes for two weeks to pass the examination
assessment/portfolio. We suggest you read through all the activities in this 104/0/2023
examination workbook before your teaching practice. Discuss all your expectations with your
mentor teacher at the school well in advance to gauge how much is expected of you during
the three weeks of teaching practice and to help you to organise your time effectively. It would
also be wise to share these activities with your mentor teacher to establish when certain
observations will be possible and to synchronise them with the timetable and weekly planning
for the two weeks.
