Kindergarten
Children are introduced to formal education through
Kindergarten, an educational program provided by all primary
schools in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Kindergarten Program, as described in Early Beginnings: A
Kindergarten Curriculum Guide, is designed to support the
intellectual, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and moral
development of the four- and five-year-old child.
Inherent in the Kindergarten Program is the recognition that
children are individuals, every child is unique and the diverse
needs and developmental levels of children can be accommodated
through developmentally appropriate practices.
The Kindergarten Program provides for integrated and discrete
learning in: language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, art,
music, health, physical education, and religious education.
Kindergarten experiences must lay the foundation for future
learning by:
• creating a love of learning
• helping children become more effective problem solvers,

The KinderStart Program is a provincial transition-to-school
orientation program for children and their parents/caregivers. The
objective of the program is to help all children and their families
connect with the school and to provide resources for them to use
at home during the pre-kindergarten year. The program is based
on developmentally appropriate practices for the pre-kindergarten
child and consists of eight in-school sessions and accompanying
information for principals, parents/caregivers and teachers. An
activity bag of supplies and resources is provided for each parent/
caregiver and child.

Art
Kindergarten students learn how to think and work as artists by
exploring, analyzing, and reflecting on the creative process and by
viewing and producing various forms of art consisting of a barrage
of traditional and unconventional materials.
The language and concepts of the fundamental elements and
principles of design are the integral aspects of the kindergarten Art
curriculum. Students explore the design elements of line, shape,
form, colour, space, and texture and the principles of pattern,
repetition, balance, movement, unity, and contrast.
The Art curriculum reflects the interests of the kindergarten
learner and topics that are pertinent to their needs. The learning
resources offer a variety of children’s and professional artists’ art
making experiences that present many opportunities for students
to respond to art in a variety of contexts through their exploration
of the cultural heritage and identities of Newfoundland and
Labrador, Canada, and the world.

Music in Kindergarten provides experiences which are meaningful
and enjoyable to the child and which develop a greater love for,
understanding of and sensitivity to music. Using children’s songs,
singing games, folk and art music, students explore rhythm and
metre, melody/pitch and expressive devices (mood, tempo,
dynamics, sound sources) through an integrated program of
listening, singing, speaking, moving, playing, responding, and
creating. Such activities help the child discover musical concepts,
develop musical skills, and establish a foundation for musical
learning.

Celebrations! engages students in an exploration of a variety of
special days, festivals and celebrations in eight living belief
systems. The theme provides opportunities for students to
discover the nature of observing special events and the connection
to a living belief system’s traditions. Commemorating special
celebrations is important for many belief systems because they
enable communities to share their unique qualities. This aspect of
celebrations is the focus for the Kindergarten program in Religious

Education
The Social Studies and Enterprise Education curricula at the
Kindergarten level are organized around the concept of
"connections". Children will examine:
• connections to their identity by further developing an
awareness of self and others
• connections to their roots by exploring how they are connected
to family
• connections to place by developing an awareness that they live
in a particular community and that there are other
communities in their province, country, and world.

Time Allotments
All subject areas make an important contribution to literacy and
numeracy in the primary grades. While 40% of instructional time
in the kindergarten school year is identified for language arts and
30% for mathematics and science, at least 5% of the time
allotment for language arts as well as 5% of the time allotment for
mathematics would be achieved while teaching the other subject
areas. In other words, teachers also teach language arts and
mathematics outcomes during the 40% of instructional time
allocated to social studies, religious education, health, art, music,
and physical education.
In the types of cross-curricular approaches followed in
kindergarten classrooms, language arts and mathematics outcomes
are often integrated into the teaching of other subject areas.
Similarly, outcomes of various subject areas are frequently
integrated into the teaching of language arts and mathematics.
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
15
KINDERGARTEN
Organizational and instructional strategies employed by
kindergarten teachers (e.g., integrated learning experiences,
learning centres, blocked-time approach to scheduling) make it
difficult to determine exact percentages of time spent on the
various curriculum areas. Thus, the time allotments
recommended above should be viewed as approximations.
Multi-age Classrooms
16
Time allotments for multi-age classrooms are the same as those
recommended for single-grade classrooms. Organizational and
instructional strategies, which are helpful in multi-age classrooms,
include interdisciplinary learning, use of learning centres, peer
tutoring, and block scheduling.

Primary
In Newfoundland and Labrador, children in Grades 1, 2, and 3
are enroled in the Province’s primary schools. The primary school
curriculum is designed to develop fundamental knowledge, skills,
and values. The curriculum is a differentiated one with prescribed
content and core outcomes in: English language arts,
mathematics, science, social studies, French, music, art, physical
education, health, and religious education.
The focus of the primary school is on the growth and development
of the learner (intellectually, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and
physically). The overall method of instruction is activity-inquiry,
a hands-on, minds-on approach to learning that helps children
meet each learning situation in such a way that it will have
meaning for them. Making connections and developing abilities
across subject areas is one way of enhancing children’s
understanding of concepts, values, and skills. However, there is an
expectation that student achievement at the primary level will
result from a combination of discrete and connected teaching/
learning experiences.
The primary school is a learning environment sensitive to each
child’s needs and developmental level. It recognizes that each
child is a worthwhile individual with potential for growth and
development. In the primary school, parents and educators are
partners in the child’s education.
Art
Artistic process, analysis, reflection, exploration, and the
production of various forms of art comprise the allocated
instructional time. The language and concepts of the fundamental
elements and principles of design are the integral aspects of the
primary Art curriculum. Students explore the design elements of
line, shape, form, space, colour, texture, and value and the
principles of rhythm, movement, pattern, repetition, contrast,
balance, emphasis, and unity. Students investigate the vital
creative process and assess their artistic products and those of
others.
The Art curriculum reflects the interests of the primary learner
and topics that are pertinent to their needs. The new learning
resources offer a variety of children’s and professional artists’ art
making experiences and reflections that are organized around
universal themes relevant to students’ daily lives. Students are
presented with many opportunities to respond to art in a variety
of contexts through exploration of the cultural heritage and
identities of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and the world.

Core French
20
The recognized starting point for Core French is Grade 4;
however, schools may offer Core French from Grade 1 to Grade 3.
The Department of Education will support school-initiated
primary Core French programs that meet specific criteria. These
criteria have been adopted to encourage schools and school
districts to implement well-articulated French programs. School
districts seeking departmental support for primary Core French
should submit proposals to the Core French Program
Development Specialist at the Department of Education.
Proposals should be received by January 31 to allow processing for
the new school year.
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
PRIMARY
Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the following
criteria:
Personnel - Teachers should have the following qualifications and
experience or their equivalent:
• Education - a degree with specialization in primary or
elementary education.
• Proficiency in French - eight semester courses in French and a
recognized six-week course at a francophone institution.
• Teaching French as a Second Language - one course in the
theory and methods of the primary or elementary grades.
• Teaching Experience - two years minimum, preferably in the
primary grades.
Purpose - Schools should implement primary Core French with
the intention of preparing students for more intensive French
programs, such as Intensive Core French, Expanded Core French,
or Late French Immersion.
Articulation - Schools should plan an instructional sequence for
Grades 1-6 that provides for the systematic development and use
of language skills and the development of linguistic knowledge.
Scheduling - In Grades 1-3, children should have a daily French
period of at least twenty minutes. The general timetable of each
class should accompany a proposal.
The optional Primary Core French Program promotes listening
comprehension, encourages oral production, fosters positive
attitudes towards learning French, and introduces French culture.
Content is drawn from the children’s world, their knowledge of
themselves and their experience of their immediate surroundings.
Specific topics include clothing, numbers, colours, animals,
seasons, sports, holidays, and birthdays.
The topics are presented directly in French and provide the
context for practise of the language. The program includes a
variety of activities, ranging from those primarily linguistic
(comprehension, pronunciation, and repetition) to those involving
reinforcement and use of French (singing, games, and colouring).
The class should progress from a teacher-directed presentation of
new content to student-centred practice and use.
English Language
Arts
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
The Primary English Language Arts curriculum specifies that
language is the principal means through which we formulate
thought and the medium through which we communicate
21
PRIMARY
thought with others. Thus, language in use underlies the
processes of thinking involved in listening, speaking, reading,
viewing, writing and other ways of representing. The curriculum
recommends that English Language Arts be taught in an
integrated manner so that primary children will become aware of
the interrelationship that exists between and among the language
processes. This integrated approach should be based on students’
prior experiences with language and on meaningful activities
involving speaking, listening, reading, viewing, writing, and other
ways of representing.
The Primary English Language Arts curriculum places emphasis
on the primary child as a learner in reading, writing, speaking,
listening, viewing and other ways of representing meaning.
Through an outcomes-oriented approach, the curriculum provides
support for teachers in planning for focused instructional and
assessment strategies that meet the needs of primary children.
Inherent in the curriculum is the recognition that development in
reading, viewing, speaking, listening, writing and other ways of
representing is a continuous process and children need to be
supported along that continuum.
There is an emphasis on oral language in the Primary English
Language Arts curriculum, where the primary child’s speaking and
listening development becomes a primary focus of instruction, and
oral language becomes the cornerstone of successful experiences
with reading and writing. It is accepted that primary children
will be at different stages along a continuum in speaking and
listening as they would be in reading and writing. Support is
provided for the child’s oral language development in the context
of the total language arts curriculum.
Development in reading and viewing as active processes of
constructing meaning from a range of texts (including print, film,
television) involves the constant interaction between the reader/
viewer and the text. As readers and viewers interact with text, they
use the strategies of sampling, predicting, confirming and self
correcting. This complex process requires the integration and coordination of four cueing systems or sources of information:
pragmatic, semantic, syntactic and graphophonic. It is necessary
to support the expansion of children’s experiences through
extending the classroom environment beyond the walls of the
classroom and through using quality children’s literature.
In the Primary English Language Arts curriculum children use
writing and other ways of representing meaning: to explore,
construct, and convey meaning; to clarify and reflect on their
thoughts; and to use their imaginations. To become skilled in
22
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
PRIMARY
these processes, children need frequent opportunities to use
writing and other ways of representing for various purposes and
audiences. Development in these processes is supported along a
continuum where the child’s level of achievement becomes the
starting point for moving forward.

Health
At the primary level, the Health curriculum takes a comprehensive
approach to fostering and promoting the well-being of young
children by making linkages with classroom instruction, healthrelated services, and a school environment that promotes and is
conducive to healthy living. Comprehensive school health, a form
of health which has connections with all other areas of the primary
curriculum, fosters the creation of environments that provide
opportunities for all young children to make healthy choices and
enhance their own health and the health of their communities.
The curriculum is organized around the following components:

Music
Classroom music in the primary/elementary school provides
experiences which are meaningful and enjoyable to the child and
which develop a greater love for, understanding of and sensitivity
to music. The program is learner-based and flexible, matching the
teaching process to the child’s natural learning process. The music
program sequences the discovery of musical concepts and musical
skills. Rhythm and metre, melody/pitch, harmony, form,
expression(dynamics, tempo, articulation, tone colours, notations)
are explored through direct engagement and involvement in such
authentic musical experiences as:
Performing - singing, playing, speaking, moving, conducting,
reading, writing, constructing/diagraming
Listening – aurally identifying, responding, discussing, analyzing,
reflecting, describing
Creating – creating, improvising, composing, interpreting
Students may be engaged in all three simultaneously.
The curriculum approaches the realization of learning outcomes in

Physical Education in the primary grades is activity based and
designed to provide a variety of movement experiences that
contribute to motor skill development and focus on active healthy
lifestyles. The development of fundamental Motor skills and
movements is the foundation for activities.
Specific Curriculum Outcomes and Movement Categories
Primary Physical Education specific curriculum outcomes address
the three dimensions of Movement - Psychomotor (Moving and
Doing), Cognitive (Understanding and Applying) and Affective
(Cooperation and Responsibility)
32
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
PRIMARY
Students will:
• learn and develop fundamental movement skills and movement
concepts that have broad application to a variety of games,
activities and movements.
• engage in movement experiences that address all three
dimensions of movement:
- Moving and Doing physical education experiences
contribute to development of physical fitness, physical skills
necessary for an active lifestyle, and appreciation for the
intrinsic value of an active lifestyle.
- Understanding and Applying physical education experiences
gives students understanding of movement and its place in
their personal quest for wellness through an active life style.
- Cooperation and Responsibility physical education
experiences gives students opportunities to understand the
social and environmental context in which they live, to
develop personal strategies to live in harmony within that
context, and to appropriately work toward changes where
there is a need.
Highlights
• This curriculum is based on the need for children to develop
personal wellness through Active Living and to develop and
understand personal movement skills in order to be able to
continue with an active lifestyle throughout life.
• The need to develop personal critical thinking abilities and
apply them to solving movement and societal problems, which
affect opportunities to continue an active lifestyle, are also
addressed.
• To accomplish this, a broad range of movement activities are
employed in nine movement themes. Each theme provides
opportunities for students to participate in movement
activities, experiment with movement techniques, develop
games, rules and strategies, help others, and plan
demonstrations or activities for the benefit of others.
• Students will also reflect on the purpose of Active Living and
evaluate the effectiveness of various activities for their intended
purpose.

Social Studies/
Enterprise
Education
The overall goal of the Social Studies and Enterprise Education
curricula is to promote personal growth and to develop the values
and skills essential for effective citizenship. Social Studies and
Enterprise Education for the primary grades are designed around
conceptual organizers.
The conceptual organizer for Grade 1 is "interactions". The
curriculum provides children with an opportunity to explore the
various ways people interact among themselves and with the world
around them. They will consider how interactions have changed
over time, locally, nationally, and globally. During the year, they
will explore interactions through four units: Groups, The
Environment, Place and Time, and Needs and Wants.
The organizing concept for Grade 2 is "change". An
understanding of change contributes to the development of
students as citizens of their community, their country, and the
world. Students will develop an awareness and confidence that
change is very much a part of their lives. They will explore change
as it relates to people, technology, economics, and the
environment.
Grade 3 is organized around the concept of “community”.
Students examine how people in selected communities in the
province and in the nation's capital interact with the physical
environment and one another. They study how communities
satisfy needs, develop, adapt and change over time.

Time Allotments
In the primary grades students achieve the outcomes of the
curriculum through a combination of discrete and integrated
learning experiences. This philosophy is reflected in the
recommended time allotments for the primary grades.
All subject areas make an important contribution to literacy and
numeracy in the primary grades. While 40% of instructional time
in the primary school year is identified for language arts and 30%
for mathematics and science, at least 5% of the time allotment for
language arts as well as 5% of the time allotment for mathematics
would be achieved while teaching the other subject areas. In other
words, teachers also teach language arts and mathematics
outcomes during the 40% of instructional time allocated to social
studies, religious education, health, art, music, and physical
education.
In the types of cross-curricular approaches followed in primary
classrooms, language arts and mathematics outcomes are often
integrated into the teaching of other subject areas. Similarly,
outcomes of various subject areas are frequently integrated into the
teaching of language arts and mathematics.
Multi-age Classrooms

Elementary
In Newfoundland and Labrador, students in Grades 4, 5, and 6
are enroled in the Province’s elementary schools. The elementary
curriculum is a differentiated curriculum with a prescribed
content. Elementary school children have wide interests, are eager
for information, and enjoy acquiring skills. They need a broad
curriculum. The concepts, values, and skills of the curriculum for
English language arts, enterprise education, mathematics, science,
social studies, music, art, physical education, French, health, and
religious education are within the grasp of most children of nine,
ten, and eleven years of age. It is at this stage, middle childhood,
that children acquire a strong foundation in basic school subjects.
During the elementary years, children begin their initiation into
the world of adult reasoning, concepts, communication, and
symbolism; they start to master tasks requiring purpose and
endeavour.
The elementary school should provide a stimulating and
challenging environment for students. Processes and procedures
that make it possible for new interests to appear and new purposes
to emerge must be used in the classroom. Grouping practices, the
functional management of furniture, independent work activities,
resource-based learning that emphasizes the child as a thinking,
doing, and feeling learner are essential to elementary education.
There is a close correlation between parents’ and teachers’
expectations and students’ self concepts, level of achievement, and
behaviour. Teachers and parents should have high expectations for
elementary school children and provide them with lots of
encouragement and reinforcement.
Art
Art education at the elementary level is intended to be experiential
and open-ended to permit the greatest flexibility to the student.
The curriculum is designed to cultivate a love of art and sensitivity
to the visual environment. It is designed to foster confidence in
expression and develop basic skills in art making techniques and
processes. The relationship between seeing and feeling is
emphasized and an atmosphere in which visual creation is an
everyday mode of expression is promoted.
The elements of design [line, shape, form, colour, texture, space]
and the principles of design [movement, repetition, balance,
contrast, emphasis, unity] are explored as key elements to visual
communication and in articulating a response to imagery.
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
41
ELEMENTARY
Through the Art curriculum students draw upon personal
experience, physical, social, and cultural environments as the basis
for visual expression. Visual literacy is developed through such
activities as describing, comparing, classifying, matching, and
manipulating. Sensory perception is emphasized through such
activities as listening, touching, tasting, smelling, and moving.
In addition to the creation of art objects, students learn to utilize
images and graphics for identifying, discussing, and sharing
information. The curriculum also has a strong verbal component
through which students acquire art vocabulary, reinforce their
visual perception, express their reactions to art and their
environment, and exchange, modify, and develop ideas.
The elementary Art curriculum is structured around the following
organizers:

Most students begin their second language learning in Core
French in Grade 4. The Core French Program (Grade 4 - French
3200) is defined by outcomes at the end of each level: elementary,
intermediate, and senior high. The skills and the content of each
level provide the essential preparation for successful experiences at
higher levels. The program primarily emphasizes the development
of language skills and the understanding and use of vocabulary
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
ELEMENTARY
and language patterns in context. The Program also encourages
the development of positive attitudes towards francophones. In
Grades 4-6 language experiences are organized around familiar
themes and are presented in French; direct comprehension of the
language is a primary consideration. While approximately 80% of
class time is devoted to aural-oral practice and use of French,
students are provided with opportunities to read and write their
new language.

Intensive Core
French
The Department of Education supports the implementation of
Intensive Core French in Grade 6, in accordance with the following
policy:
• District plans must meet specific criteria and be received by the
Department of Education by January 31 to be considered for
implementation in the following school year.
• Proposals for the implementation of Intensive Core French are
assessed with respect to the following criteria:
- Planning: School districts plan the implementation of
Intensive Core French in schools with well-established,
successful Core French curricula that adhere to provincial
allocations for instructional time in Core French.
- Enhancement of Core French: Schools implement Intensive
Core French to enhance their French second language
program. Its implementation requires the allocation of
additional resources to ensure the overall quality of the
existing Core French curriculum and the success of the
Intensive Core French option.
- Organization of Intensive Core French: The Grade 6
schedule is modified to allocate a minimum of 60% of the
instructional day during half of the school year to Intensive
Core French. This is scheduled as an uninterrupted block of
time in the school day. During the other half of the
school year, Core French is included in the schedule and
allocated the instructional time set out in this Program of
Studies.
- Staffing: Personnel are allocated to the Intensive Core French
program to ensure maximum continuity in the intensive
instructional block and maximum continuity and
complementarity between the intensive block and the rest of
the prescribed Grade 6 curriculum. Teachers assigned to
Intensive Core French speak and write French with

confidence and accuracy and are selected on the basis of their
training and experience with respect to the requirements of
the Intensive Core French option.
Prescribed Grade 6 Curriculum: Students in the Intensive
Core French option must achieve the outcomes of the Grade
6 curriculum, as set out in this Program of Studies. Schools
modify the instructional time for other prescribed Grade 6
curriculum areas to allocate 60% of the instructional day to
Intensive Core French. This is done by scheduling selected
curriculum areas during the other half of the school year
only, and may entail less instructional time for particular
areas. Curriculum areas compacted into half of the school
year are chosen carefully on the basis of common (shared) or
complementary outcomes to those in Intensive Core French.
System-Wide Articulation: Students completing the Grade 6
Intensive Core French option make important gains in
French language knowledge and skills as compared to the
overall Grade 6 Core French cohort. Schools must commit
to a long-range strategy in Grades 7-12 for these students to
ensure they have opportunities to build on their French
knowledge and skills in a challenging, appropriate French
program.
Student Inclusion: Intensive Core French offers Grade 6
students the opportunity to have an enhanced Core French
experience in elementary school and beyond. Participation
in the research phase of Intensive Core French indicated
that it is an option for the broad range of learners.
Professional Development: Participating schools and districts
plan a professional development program to facilitate the
implementation of an Intensive Core French curriculum.
This includes the allocation of resources to ensure teachers
participate in professional development sessions prior to
assuming responsibility for teaching an Intensive Core
French curriculum.
Communications: Participating schools in a school system
and districts establish a schools/community partnership with
respect to the implementation of the Intensive Core French
option. All members of a school staff need to know the
purpose and benefits of Intensive Core French as do parents
and the larger community. Community support is very
important in contributing directly to the quality of the
Intensive Core French curriculum and ensuring its overall
success.
Financial Considerations: Participating schools and districts
commit resources to the implementation of Intensive Core
French. Proposals obtaining approval in accordance with
the criteria above are eligible for additional funding, subject
to budgetary approval.

ELEMENTARY
English Language
Arts
At the elementary level, the English Language Arts curriculum
continues the philosophy and methodologies of the primary
school English Language Arts. As such, the curriculum helps
students increase their power over the language processes of
reading, viewing, speaking, listening, writing and other ways of
representing meaning. As they use and produce language,
students are provided with the knowledge, experience, and
pleasure that control of language makes possible. The curriculum
also fosters students’ understanding of self and others and their
appreciation of the crucial role of linguistic clarity in that
understanding.
English Language Arts, Grades 4-6, incorporates the use of
students’ own experiences and oral language to produce print; the
use of literature and a wide variety of trade books with appeal to
students’ interest, needs and abilities; and the use of the
authorized learning resources. All of these resources are used for
instructional purposes to emphasize the how of speaking,
listening, reading, viewing, writing and other ways of representing
meaning.
Students should be given many listening and speaking experiences
which are not only intrinsically valuable, but which are an
important requisite for writing and reading, and for learning in all
subject areas. The curriculum provides for a balance of
transactional, expressive and poetic writing. Students should write
frequently during the language arts period and across subject
areas, giving consideration to the form, purpose, and tone of the
messages they wish to communicate. Instruction in sentence
structure, spelling, handwriting, punctuation, and capitalization is
provided within the context of students’ language experiences.
Literature and a variety of information, visual and media texts, are
used as tools for ensuring that students become lifelong readers
and viewers, not just people who can read and view. Experiences
with literature are, in addition to developing their knowledge and
strategies, designed to expand their imagination and mature their
emotions. Many grouping patterns - partnerships, small groups,
whole class - should be used. Student journals, writing files, and
reading and viewing progress files should be maintained. An
assessment component that provides for ongoing monitoring of
students’ language development is a critical part of the program.

Music
Classroom music in the primary/elementary school provides
experiences which are meaningful and enjoyable to the child and
which develop a greater love for, understanding of and sensitivity
to music. The curriculum is learner-based and flexible, matching
the teaching process to the child’s natural learning process. The
music curriculum sequences the discovery of musical concepts and
musical skills. Rhythm and metre, melody/pitch, harmony, form,
expression (dynamics, tempo, articulation, tone colours, notations)
are explored through direct engagement and involvement in
suchauthentic musical experiences as:
Performing - singing, playing, speaking, moving, conducting,
reading, writing, constructing/diagraming
Listening – aurally identifying, responding, discussing, analyzing,
reflecting, describing
Creating – creating, improvising, composing, interpreting
Students may be engaged in all three simultaneously.
54
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
ELEMENTARY
The curriculum approaches the realization of learning outcomes in
a holistic way and puts an emphasis on
• the creativity of the child; children are encouraged to invent
their own ways of moving, accompaniments, speech and
rhythm patterns, melodies, interpretations, dramatizations, and
ways of notating
• singing as the foundation of the K-6 program
• the playing of pitched and non-pitched classroom instruments
• movement experiences as an integral part of the program
• engagement in musical experiences before the introduction of
musical symbols (sound before symbol)
• the development of musical literacy
• varied musical experiences reflecting their own and other time
periods, places, and communities
• reflection and response as an integral part of the process of
creating and performing
Choral experiences, an integral part of the program, are to be
offered along with the classroom program at the elementary level,
but are not to replace allocated time for the core classroom
program. The decision to introduce band and/or string programs
is a district and school prerogative; see Intermediate Music for

Physical
Education
Physical Education in the elementary grades is activity based and
designed to provide a variety of movement experiences that
contribute to motor skill development and focus on active healthy
lifestyles. The development of fundamental Motor skills and
movements is the foundation for activities.
Specific Curriculum Outcomes and Movement Categories
Elementary Physical Education specific curriculum outcomes address
the three dimensions of Movement - Psychomotor (Moving and
Doing), Cognitive (Understanding and Applying) and Affective
(Cooperation and Responsibility)
Students will:
• learn and develop fundamental movement skills and movement
concepts that have broad application to a variety of games,
activities and movements.
• engage in movement experiences that address all three
dimensions of movement, Psychomotor (Moving and Doing),
Cognitive (Understanding and Applying) and Affective
(Cooperation and Responsibility)
56
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
ELEMENTARY
- Moving and Doing physical education experiences
contribute to development of physical fitness, physical skills
necessary for an active lifestyle, and appreciation for the
intrinsic value of an active lifestyle.
- Understanding and Applying physical education experiences
gives students understanding of movement and its place in
their personal quest for wellness through an active life style.
- Cooperation and Responsibility physical education
experiences gives students opportunities to understand the
social and environmental context in which they live, to
develop personal strategies to live in harmony within that
context, and to appropriately work toward changes where
there is a need.
Highlights
• This curriculum is based on the need for children to develop
personal wellness through Active Living and to develop and
understand personal movement skills in order to be able to
continue with an active lifestyle throughout life.
• The need to develop personal critical thinking abilities and
apply them to solving movement and societal problems, which
affect opportunities to continue an active lifestyle, are also
addressed in this program.
• To accomplish this, a broad range of movement activities are
employed in nine movement themes. Each theme provides
opportunities for students to participate in movement
activities, experiment with movement techniques, develop
games, rules and strategies, help others, and plan
demonstrations or activities for the benefit of others.
• Students will also reflect on the purpose of Active Living and
evaluate the effectiveness of various activities for their intended
purpose.

The Elementary Religious Education curriculum takes a nonconfessional approach. Various religions are included in this
program and beliefs, doctrines, practices and history of each are
covered with sensitivity and respect. The program enables and
encourages students to grow spiritually and morally into
informed, caring and contributing members of society. Students
develop an appreciation for their own beliefs and values, and the
beliefs and values of others. They acquire an understanding of the
contribution that religions make to human life.
The resources for the curriculum are developed through story lines
and it is through the characters and events within the stories that
students encounter various world religions.

INTERMEDIATE
Intermediate
In Newfoundland and Labrador, students in Grades 7, 8, and 9
are enroled in the province’s intermediate schools. The best and
fullest development of young adolescents is the overall goal of
intermediate school.
The concepts, values, and skills of the curricula in English
language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, music,
industrial arts, technology education, art, physical education,
French, health, home economics, and religious education are
relevant to the interests and needs of twelve- to fifteen-year-olds.
The program achieves balance by placing equal emphasis on the
cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains and by taking into
consideration the wide range of individual differences in the
intermediate school.
In the intermediate grades, students consolidate skills for
continued learning (e.g., communication and numeracy skills) and
develop competence in decision making, leadership, self reliance
and taking responsibility. Problem solving, discussion, group
procedures, and strategies that promote independent thinking are
the primary approaches to education in the intermediate school.
Ongoing assessment and evaluation determine students’ remedial
and enrichment needs.
Early adolescence is a time of rapid physical growth, of intense
desire for autonomy, of questioning, and of searching for values.
Young adolescents need someone with whom they can talk over
problems and work out solutions. The homeroom, where students
spend a substantial amount of time with the same teacher every
day, provides stability.
Teachers and parents should have high expectations for young
adolescents. They must believe that these students can learn, that
they want to learn, and that the intermediate school is
instrumental in meeting their learning needs.
Art
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
The Intermediate Art curriculum builds upon the two previous
levels. Students are afforded increased opportunity to express their
ideas and feelings through an emphasis on creating art images and
objects. The curriculum focuses on developing an understanding
of design in art and the visual environment. Students learn more
sophisticated applications of design elements and principles and
have opportunities to use this knowledge.
65
INTERMEDIATE
The curriculum enlists the use of slides to provide illustrations of
key art and design concepts at work. Students examine and
analyze these images prior to engaging in art activities which focus
on particular concepts. The curriculum emphasizes the work of
artists from Newfoundland and Labrador. Over seventy percent of
the artists whose works are included in the slide package have
worked or are now working in this province.
Students can avail of six modules over three years. These are
Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Printmaking, Folk Art, and Fibre
Art.

At the Grade 9 level, the Guidance Module, Career Exploration, is
designed around the three stages of Career Development: self
awareness, career exploration and career and educational planning.
Students develop an understanding of self in relation to the world
of work through the exploration of interests, abilities, aptitudes,
needs and values. This self awareness assists students in developing
educational plans.

Core French
The Intermediate Core French curriculum is defined by outcomes
at each grade level: 7, 8, and 9. It is organized to build on
student experiences in the elementary French curriculum and to
prepare students for the challenges of the senior high program.
The primary purposes of intermediate Core French are
development of proficiency in oral language and learning about
the francophone way of life. In skill development, major emphasis
is therefore accorded to listening and speaking; reading and
writing are also important, serving to complement and reinforce
listening and speaking. To ensure students have maximum
opportunity to hear and use French, teachers should make it the
language of the class, including all aspects of administration and
operation, in addition to instruction.
Students practise language in formal learning contexts and use it
in functional learning contexts. Teachers should therefore ensure
that students have appropriate language practice and content to
meet their communication needs.

At the intermediate level, the English Language Arts curriculum is
designed to develop students’ knowledge and strategies in
speaking, listening, reading, viewing, writing and other ways of
representing meaning. English language arts must be taught in an
integrated manner so that the interrelationships between and
among the language processes will be understood and applied by
the students. This integrated approach should be based on
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
INTERMEDIATE
students’ prior experience with language and on meaningful
activities involving speaking, listening, reading, viewing, writing
and other ways of representing meaning. Experiences with
literature are, in addition to developing their knowledge and
strategies, designed to enhance students’ awareness of the richness
of life, expand their imaginations, exercise their intellects, and
mature their emotions.
The curriculum provides for a balance of transactional, expressive
and poetic writing. The conventions of language are taught in the
context of students’ own writing and speaking. Students are
expected to maintain a writing file of their work for assessment
and reference purposes. The variety of resources for reading and
viewing are intended to evoke personal responses, promote
discussion and analysis of values and ideas, and consolidate their
understanding of language, form and genre. A variety of
interaction patterns - partnerships, small groups, whole class should be used.

Music
The Intermediate Music curriculum further develops musical
literacy and aesthetic awareness by providing meaningful and
challenging musical experiences. Concepts learned in K-6 are
reviewed, reinforced, and consolidated while new skills and
knowledge are applied to a number of musical forms. Emphasis is
placed on direct experiences with music and the integration of
musical elements. A student’s understanding of basic concepts is
enhanced through more advanced activities.
Performing groups such as band, choir, orchestra or guitar and
recorder ensembles, are recognized as components of the
curriculum. The prescribed learning outcomes may be realized
through a classroom program or a particular performance category.
Study through vocal and instrumental performance must be
balanced with musicianship, sight singing, aural training, motor
coordination, and directed listening.
The Intermediate years are viewed as offering the opportunity to
provide enrichment to the music program, enrichment through an
application of skills and knowledge. Additional repertoire study
will constantly reinforce and review while providing new aesthetic
experiences and awareness. Using basic skills in different
situations will solidify the musical knowledge and understanding
and permit students to move beyond the technical and into the
expressive realm of music (aesthetic development).

stable identity.
The Intermediate Physical Education curriculum provides an
understanding of the benefits of an active lifestyle and leads
individuals to develop their personal wellness and personal
movement competency and physical literacy that contribute to an
active lifestyle throughout life.
This curriculum also extends the range of skills and knowledge
acquired in the primary and elementary programs and facilitates
transition to the more self-directed activities of high school. It
builds upon the movement concept knowledge provided in the
primary and elementary programs and provides opportunity for
personal achievement through group and individual activities.

Religious
Education
The Intermediate Religious Education curriculum takes a nonconfessional approach. Various religions are included in this
program and beliefs, doctrines, practices and history of each are
covered with sensitivity and respect. The curriculum creates a
context for students to recognize the diversity of religion and how
it has influenced and continues to influence individuals and
society. It enables and encourages students to grow spiritually and
morally into informed, caring and contributing members of
society. Students develop an appreciation for their own beliefs and
values, and the beliefs and values of others. They acquire an
understanding of the contribution that religions make to human
life.

The Intermediate Science curriculum involves a study of selected
topics from each of the Life, Earth/Space, and Physical Sciences
(Chemistry/Physics). The Intermediate Science curriculum for
Grades 7 and 8 (Grade 9 starting in September 2009) is based on
the Pan Canadian Science Protocol and reflects the work done in
partnership with the other Atlantic provinces. The study of the
selected topics is organized around the four General Curriculum
Outcomes for science: Skills, Knowledge, Science, Technology,
Society, and Environment (STSE), and Attitudes. This curriculum
helps students to become more scientifically literate and to
develop their inquiry, problem-solving, and decision-making
abilities; to become life-long learners; and to maintain a sense of
wonder about the world around them.

Social Studies
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
The Social Studies curriculum for the intermediate grades is
designed around conceptual organizers. The organizing concept
for the Grade 7 curriculum is “empowerment”. The curriculum
examines various aspects of empowerment - including personal,
political, cultural, social and national. It draws largely on the
history of the Canadian nation from the early 1800s to the end of
World War I. Reference is made to earlier periods as well as the
contemporary.
81
INTERMEDIATE
The organizing concept for the Grade 8 curriculum is “history as a
story of the past in the present”. The curriculum examines various
themes related to the history of Newfoundland and Labrador –
history as a lens to the past, history as a story of people, history as
a story of events, and history as a story of change. The course
introduces students to the study of the history of the province
from the turn of the 19th century to the present. It traces the
province’s political evolution and development, colony-to-countryto-province, and asks students to: explore and appreciate history as
part of their community, region and province; examine social
change; and assess the impact of the past on the present.
The conceptual organizer for Grade 9 is “interdependence”. The
curriculum focuses on Atlantic Canada in the Global Community
and is organized around five themes - Physical Setting, Culture,
Economics, Technology, and Interdependence. The course enables
students to examine and reflect on the major issues that affect
them as individuals, Atlantic Canadians, and global citizens.

The Technology Education curriculum is based on the Foundation
for the Atlantic Canada Technology Education Curriculum document.
Five general curriculum outcomes define the intent of the
program: technological problem solving, technological systems,
history and evolution of technology, technology and careers, and
technological responsibility.
At the intermediate level the technology education curriculum
consists of five technology modules that are sequentially ordered:
• Grade 7: Communications Technology Module
• Grade 8: Production and Control Technology Modules
• Grade 9: Energy and Power and Biotechnology Modules
Each module is designed to be completed in a minimum of 26
hours of class time as a stand-alone module and requires students
to construct physical/digital objects by implementing a design
and problem-solving methodology. There are many opportunities
to connect to other subject areas within each module at various
stages of the design and problem-solving process.
The five modules are being implemented in phases with the Grade
7 Communications Technology Module, the Grade 8 Production
Technology Module and the Grade 8 Control Technology Module
authorized for delivery.

Industrial Arts
Implementation Considerations
The Industrial Arts curriculum is a predecessor of the Technology
Education curriculum and as the Technology Education
curriculum is implemented at the intermediate level, the
industrial arts curriculum will be discontinued. At the Grade 7
and Grade 8 levels there are authorized Technology Education
Modules that are implemented in schools for the current school
year. Schools wishing to schedule Industrial Arts programming at
the Grade 7 and Grade 8 levels should do so within the time
allocation devoted to Technology Education/Industrial Arts, as the
two disciplines are considered as one at those grade levels. The
Industrial Arts curriculum is the only curriculum of the two
offered at the Grade 9 level for the 2007-2008 school year.
Industrial Arts
The intent of the Industrial Arts curriculum at the intermediate
level is to provide students with diversified exploratory experiences
in order to help them assume a basic understanding of industry
and the world of work. An examination is made of the underlying
functions of industry and how they relate to one another.
86
PROGRAM OF STUDIES 2008-2009
INTERMEDIATE
At the intermediate level students should begin to understand and
assess their interests and abilities in terms of our industrial and
technical society. In addition to providing knowledge, the
Industrial Arts curriculum develops creative ability through the
application of knowledge and addresses student need for physical
activity.
The objectives of industrial arts at this level are attained through a
study of basic hand tools and simple machine tools used with
wood, metal, and plastic. Students are taught industrial
communication skills such as blueprint reading and sketching and
basic design techniques. They do experiments and projects in
electricity and power.

This course explores the issues surrounding the technologies of art
making. It examines relationships among human perception,
technology, and the creative process. Students make choices about
technologies in their projects which affect the final products.
These decisions are influenced by the message they wish to
communicate, the appearance they wish the art work to have, and
the appropriateness of the technology.
Technology is broadly defined to include everything from charcoal
sticks, to the printing press, the camera, and the computer.
Students will learn how perception works and how physiology,
culture, and technology influence our perception. In turn, they
apply this understanding to the art making process.

English 1200
English 1200 is an optional course aimed at addressing the needs
of students entering senior high schools who:
• lack sufficient skills and strategies to handle the reading and
writing demands of senior high school courses
• have not developed the reading strategies that enable them to
decode, interact with, retain, interpret, or reconstruct print
• may have learning disabilities, mild cognitive delay or no
causative disability but are disabled by a lack of literacy skills
• may be characterized by a lack of motivation and interest,
avoidance of print and reading tasks, very low self esteem and
dependence on external clues, classmates and teachers for any
successful interpretation of print
Specific curriculum outcomes and suggestions for teaching and
learning are organized around three main reading functions:
reading and writing to learn, reading and writing to function in
society, and reading and writing to satisfy personal interests.
English 1200 must be taken either prior to or concurrently with
English 1202. Students cannot obtain credit for English 1200 if
they have successfully completed English 1202.

English 1201
English 1201 is an academic course, designed for the majority of
students entering Level I of senior high school. The study of
language and experiences with a broad range of literature and
media texts will enable students to reflect on their own learning
strategies as they continue to develop confidence as language users.
The study of texts will include a cross section of articles, poetry,
short prose, plays, novels and visuals, and will focus especially on
identities -- understanding ourselves, our communities and our
cultures. While opportunities are provided for students to develop
imaginative, narrative and poetic texts, there will be a focus on
reflective journal responses, reports, editorials, and argumentative/
persuasive essays reflecting evidence of research. English 1201 also
emphasizes proficiency in the use of oral language for a variety of
purposes. Speaking and listening experiences include:
• conversation and focused discussion with an identifiable
purpose such as brainstorming, speculating, problem solving
• structured activities and presentations such as symposia,
debates, public speaking, reports, panel discussions, interviews,
seminars, and small group interaction
• dramatic representations and the performance of texts, for
example, monologues, role playing, individual and choral
performance, readers’ theatre
• focused listening activities to interpret and evaluate ideas and
information from a range of sources

Immersion
French immersion consists of programs and courses designed for
English-speaking students in which French is the language of
instruction and, as much as possible, the means of communication
in the classroom. French immersion serves to achieve the Essential
Graduation Learnings.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, two options in French immersion
studies are available: Early French Immersion (EFI) and Late
French Immersion (LFI).
EFI extends from Kindergarten to Level III with approximately
100 percent of instruction in French from Kindergarten to Grade
2. English Language Arts is introduced at Grade 3. As other
subject areas in English are introduced in later grades, the
recommended minimum percentage of instruction in French is
maintained.
LFI extends from Grade 7 to Level III with approximately 75
percent of instruction in French in Grades 7 and 8. From Grade 9
to Level III the recommended minimum percentage of instruction
in French is maintained.

L’étude des sciences humaines veut aider l’enfant à s’éveiller aux
concepts de temps, d’espace et de société. Le thème du
programme de sciences humaines pour la maternelle est intitulé
« les relations ». Les élèves examineront :
• les relations à leur identité en développant une prise de
conscience envers soi et les autres
• la relation à leurs racines en explorant comment ils sont reliés à
une famille
• la relation à un endroit en développant une prise de conscience
qu’ils habitent dans une communauté et qu’il y a d’autres
communautés dans leur province, leur pays et dans le
monde.

In kindergarten students achieve the outcomes of the curriculum
through a combination of discrete and integrated learning
experiences. This philosophy is reflected in the recommended
time allotments for kindergarten.
All subject areas make an important contribution to literacy and
numeracy in kindergarten. While 40% of instructional time in
the primary school year is identified for language arts and 30% for
mathematics and science, at least 5% of the time allotment for
language arts as well as 5% of the time allotment for mathematics
would be achieved while teaching the other subject areas. In other
words, teachers also teach language arts and mathematics
outcomes during the 40% of instructional time allocated to social
studies, religious education, health, art, music, and physical
education.
In the types of cross-curricular approaches followed in
kindergarten classrooms, language arts and mathematics outcomes
are often integrated into the teaching of other subject areas.
Similarly, outcomes of various subject areas are frequently
integrated into the teaching of language arts and mathematics.

Primary
The Primary Program continues to develop students’ abilities to
comprehend and speak French; fosters students’ confidence in
their ability to use French; develops literacy skills in French and
English; parallels in French, to the greatest possible extent, the
intent, content, and methodology of the English program.
Subject teaching and communication are carried on as close to
100% in French as possible in Grades 1 and 2. In Grade 3, a
portion of the language arts time allotment is used to deliver the
prescribed English language arts curriculum and authorized
learning resources.
Arts plastiques
To be taught in French following the guidelines for English classes
(see English Program).
Au primaire, les arts plastiques visent surtout à donner à l’élève la
plus grande flexibilité possible en lui proposant une variété
d’expériences. Le programme est conçu de façon à lui faire aimer
les arts, à éveiller sa sensibilité, à lui donner l’assurance de
s’exprimer et à lui apprendre les techniques et les procédés
artistiques de base. Le programme insiste beaucoup sur le rapport
entre ce qui est vu et ce qui est ressenti, et favorise un milieu
propice à l’expression constante de la créativité visuelle. Les
éléments de la communication (lignes, formes, couleurs, textures
et espace) et les principes (mouvement, répétition, équilibre,
contraste, relief et unité) sont étudiés en tant que composantes
essentielles de l’expression visuelle, à la base de toute
représentation ou de tout travail artistique. C’est sur ces éléments
et sur ces principes que se fonde le développement esthétique.
Tout au long du programme, les élèves s’inspirent de leur
expérience personnelle ainsi que de leur milieu physique, social et
culturel pour s’exprimer visuellement. Certaines activités description, comparaison, classement, rapprochement et
manipulation aident à développer le sens du visuel. La perception
sensorielle est étudiée au moyen d’activités telles que l’écoute, les
activités tactiles, la dégustation, la reconnaissance des odeurs et
l’étude des mouvements.
En plus d’apprendre à créer des images, les élèves découvrent
comment utiliser les images et les graphiques pour discuter,
trouver et échanger de l’information. Le programme comprend un
volet axé sur l’expression orale qui permet aux élèves d’acquérir du
vocabulaire propre au domaine artistique, de renforcer leur
perception visuelle et d’expliquer leurs réactions aux arts plastiques

religieux
Le programme d’enseignement religieux du primaire offre aux
élèves, au moyen d’activités et d’histoires, l’occasion de réfléchir
sur les expériences qui soulèvent chez eux des questions sur le but,
le sens et la valeur de la vie. Le programme du primaire analyse des
expériences humaines et les questions qu’elles soulèvent, ainsi que
les réponses que la religion peut fournir à ces questions. Il aide les
enfants à explorer le sens de l’appartenance, à apprécier la création
et à accorder de la valeur aux célébrations. Dans le présent
programme, les élèves apprennent aussi à connaître des gens qui
ont apporté une contribution marquée à la société. En mettant
l’accent sur les émotions, les attitudes et la prise de conscience de
soi et des autres ainsi que sur le sens du merveilleux, l’éducation
religieuse de l’enfant au niveau primaire sert de fondement à
l’élaboration future d’une dimension explicite de la religion. Au
moyen d’une approche axée sur l’enfant et de multiples ressources,
le programme permet à l’élève de s’épanouir sur le plan
intellectuel, émotionnel et spirituel.

The Intermediate Science curriculum involves a study of selected
topics from each of the Life, Earth/Space, and Physical Sciences
(Chemistry/Physics). The Intermediate Science curriculum for
Grades 7 and 8 (Grade 9 starting in September 2009) is based on
the Pan Canadian Science Protocol and reflects the work done in
partnership with the other Atlantic provinces. The study of the
selected topics is organized around the four General Curriculum
Outcomes for science: Skills, Knowledge, Science, Technology,
Society, and Environment (STSE), and Attitudes. This curriculum
helps students to become more scientifically literate and to
develop their inquiry, problem-solving, and decision-making
abilities; to become life-long learners; and to maintain a sense of
wonder about the world around them.

students to develop the necessary English language skills to
function adequately in school and in the community.
