About Grade 6 Life Skills
The big theme of Grade 6 Life Skills is peer pressure. It arrives at the age where friends' opinions start to weigh more heavily than parents', and the curriculum tackles it head on.
What a child has to learn is not that peer pressure is bad — it can also be good, when a group encourages you to train or to study. What they have to learn is to recognise it, especially the quiet kind: the feeling that you must fit in without anyone having said a word.
The second half is about citizenship: the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the idea that every right comes with a responsibility. The case studies then ask a child to apply those principles to real situations.
Frequently asked questions
How is peer pressure handled?
Honestly. Some questions show positive peer pressure, some show the dangerous kind, and some show the silent kind where nobody asks you anything. The answers give a child words and a plan: know your limits beforehand, say a clear no, and offer an alternative.
The subject touches on the changing body. What is asked?
Only that it is a normal part of growing up, that everyone changes at their own pace, and that a child can take their questions to a parent, teacher or nurse rather than to friends or the internet.
Can I do these with my child?
That is the best way to use this subject. The case studies were written deliberately to start a conversation — the conversation is worth more than the mark.
Are these the same questions as in our PDF papers?
No. These are separate, original questions covering the same CAPS content.
