3.1 Introduction
The activities presented in the workbook are all guided observations and need to take place
in the Foundation Phase (Grade 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 plan when certain
observations may be possible to synchronise these with the timetable and weekly planning for
those two weeks.
