SOA Skills Development

Please comment.  Any suggestions are welcome.

WHAT: 

The aim is to use a skills development period once a week to develop diverse skills of primary school learners.  A recommendation was made that all staff members should attend a first aid course prior to implementation of these periods.  Sports and cultural activities will be used as a medium to facilitate skills development.  The following activities were recommended:

SPORTS

·         KFC mini cricket

·         Golf

·         Dancing / Ballet / Gymnastics

·         Soccer

·         Swimming

·         Mini Netball

·         Tennis

·         Rugby

·         Mini Hockey

CULTURAL

·         Art lessons

·         Drama lessons

·         Chess

·         Guitar lessons

·         Creative writing

Various skills will be developed during these periods however, it is also important that these skills are applied in terms of sports matches or participation in eisteddfod.  Active participation in meaningful activities will motivate learners to improve and apply their skills.  It was recommended that the skills development periods take place on a Friday during the last period.
