Creative Arts in Grade R.
Gr R teachers must refrain from working on A4 size paper only.
Using A3 and bigger, assists the development of the important skill of midline crossing and motor planning.
Look at the beautiful 3 pattern print around the art.
Not only focusing on forming a pattern but also to have the motor control to print on a specific spot.
Later in Grade one it will improve the writing skill to write in between lines and spacing between words.

In Grade R, art is an integral part of the daily curriculum, not just a once-a-week activity. It is here that pre-writing skills are nurtured on a daily basis. Instead of using copied worksheets, the approach encourages creativity and cognitive development in young children. The focus is on skill-building without compromising creativity. For example, the box activity involves painting the new colour of the week, black, by crossing the midline, which enhances wrist action and fine motor skills, with additional practice provided through chalk drawing.
