Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

sub strand name - p.52: this sub-strand is headed "Sub-Strand 1. LEISURE" and coded 3.1.1, and the table of contents agrees, but the scope-and-sequence on printed p.22 lists Leisure as the third sub-strand of strand 1, after Work Ethics and Honesty and Time Management; the other two year-3 sub-strands are numbered 3 and agree with the scope table

General Learning Approach: In the context of schools with large sizes, the RMEC should utilize case studies, video watching (movie scenes), drama/role play that will offer opportunities for discussions afterwards.
Where appropriate the following pedagogies may also be implemented:
Activity-Based Learning: With the aid of flipcharts or sticky notes, undertake a gallery walk on the definitions of leisure time and what individual learners do during their leisure time.
Digital Learning: Create group word clouds on leisure time based on the submissions made during the gallery walk.
Collaborative Learning: In mixed-ability groups, discuss the importance of leisure time.
Enquiry Route Learning: The meaning of leisure. The need for leisure. eg. to regain lost energy after a long period of hard work, for reflection, meditation, and the study of the scripture.
