Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

In a community circle time, have learners talk about the different uses of the sources of light on a conversations poster. Have learners discuss the uses of light in their everyday life using the new vocabulary learnt. Have learners pick a word card and make simple sentence with it. E.g. Switch the torch light on; put the candle off; etc. Guide them pick and act out simple sentences on sentence strips in relation to the theme E.g. Switch on the light, switch off the torch, light the lantern, etc. You can let learners do charade activity with the sentence strips in pairs. Have learners do addition and subtraction activities with the examples of lights using simple everyday situation word problem e.g. Kofi was sent to buy 5 bulbs from a nearby shop.
On his way back, he trips and the bag containing the bulbs fell and one got broken, how many bulbs would the family use?
