About Grade 4 Life Skills
Life Skills covers the things a child needs to know that no other subject teaches: how to handle strong feelings, how to stay safe, what a healthy day looks like, and how to treat people who are different from them.
The case studies are the part worth doing together. Each one puts a child in a real situation — a stranger offering a lift, a friend asking them to cheat, a classmate being teased — and asks what they would do.
Frequently asked questions
How are the safety questions handled?
Every answer about danger, pressure or a difficult situation points a child towards a trusted adult. No question suggests that a child should handle a serious situation alone.
Can I do these with my child?
That is the best way to use this subject. The case studies were written to start a conversation, and the conversation is worth more than the mark.
My child got a case study 'wrong' but their answer seemed reasonable.
The marked answer is the safest one, which is not always the only sensible one. If your child's reasoning was sound, talk it through — that discussion is the point of the exercise.
Are these the same questions as in our PDF papers?
No. These are separate, original questions covering the same CAPS content.
