About this scheme

What the scheme contains

Every row of the scheme carries the official column set used in the primary schemes: Main Competence (Umahiri mkuu), Specific Competence (Umahiri mahususi), Learning Activities (Shughuli za ujifunzaji), Specific Activities (Shughuli ndogondogo), Month (Mwezi), Week (Wiki), Periods (Vipindi), Reference (Rejea), Teaching and Learning Methods (Mbinu za ufundishaji), Teaching and Learning Resources (Zana za ufundishaji), Assessment Tools (Zana za upimaji) and Remarks (Maoni). The Remarks column records examination dates and short holiday breaks.

Competences covered

Further units continue across the academic year as prescribed in the TIE Standard Three Pupil’s Book.

Period allocation

Sports, Culture and Arts is planned at 5 periods per week for most competence blocks. This supports the practical, play-based and activity-oriented approach expected at primary level.
