Grondslagfase / Foundation Phase

Dit is met trots dat ons gereeld van ons ouers en individue buite skoolverband hoor dat Laerskool Oosterkruin oor die beste Grondslagfase beskik. Vanaf Graad R tot Graad 3, het ons toegewyde personeel wat deurentyd byderhand is en sê: “U KIND IS ONS ERNS.”

Ons streef voortdurend na die hoogste standaard wat akademie betref. Deur gereelde aanmoediging en hulp, presteer ons leerders uitstekend. Leierskap word ontwikkel deur elke leerder die geleentheid te gun om vanaf Graad 1 ‘n klasleier te wees.

Lees word aangemoedig en aan die einde van die jaar word die beste leser per graad en per klas beloon op die Prysuitdelingsaand. Leerders ontvang ook Akademiese balkies ontvang vir uitstaande akademiese prestasies.

Die sportsoorte waaraan deelgeneem kan word is: Atletiek, Netbal, Rugby, Tennis, Skaak, Jukskei en Landloop. Voordurende aansporing help leerders om deel te neem aan Redenaars, Public Speaking, Revue, Mnr en Mej Osie en Kunswedstryd. Hierdeur word die leerders se selfbeeld en selfvertroue verbeter.

By ons skool is daar ‘n sterk ONDERSTEUNINGSDIENS. Sou u kind hulp benodig, kan ons u verwys na een van die volgende: Sielkundige, Arbeidsterapeut, Kinderkinetikus, Pastorale hulp, Mediese Suster, Spraakterapeut, Remediërende Terapeut en Sielkundiges by Distrik.

It is a widely known fact that the Foundation Phase at Oosterkruin Primary is one of the best in the district, as was stated by the Department of Education’s Ekurhuleni North District. We are privileged to have 15 self driven individuals that we call Educators.

The Foundation Phase is primarily based on three pillars: Academics, Sport and Culture, thus developing a well balanced child.

ACADEMICS: Only the highest standard is acceptable. With continuous encouragement, our learners achieve the best in whatever they set their minds to. Leadership is of primary importance and gets attention throughout the phase. As reading is the center stone of learning for the rest of their lives, attention is given in the form of special recognition to individuals per class, as well as the most outstanding academic achievement.

SPORT: The phrase “A healthy body houses a healthy mind” is true and for that reason, we encourage learners to participate in sport. Sport options are as follows – Athletics, Junior netball, TAU rugby, Tennis (outside coach), Chess, Jukskei, Cross country and Karate (outside coach).

CULTURE: With the fast fading of culture, special attention is given to a generic culture, creating self pride and self worth. For some the most challenging is Afrikaans and English Public speaking, Eisteddfod and our Mr & Miss Osie. There is also Revue (a musical stage production) every three years where we encourage mass participation.

In SUPPORT to our three pillars, we will refer you to the specialist fields of the following in case the need arrives: Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist, Child Kinetics specialist, Medical Sister, Remedial Therapist and an Occupational Psychologist.

As YOUR CHILD IS OUR CONCERN, in consultation with your child’s teacher, a meeting can be arranged before or after school. Should a deadlock occur, please arrange a meeting with Mrs S Greyling, HOD Foundation Phase.
