Illustrative Learning Outcomes
This is a sample to guide how Learning Outcomes for the Foundational Stage can be articulated.
Domain: Physical Development
i. Curricular Goal (CG-2): Children develop sharpness in sensorial perceptions
1) Competency (C-2.1): Differentiates between shapes, colours, and their shades
C-2.1: Differentiates between shapes, colours, and their shades | ||||
Ages 3 – 8 | ||||
A | B | C | D | E |
Differentiates and names the primary colours (red, blue, yellow) and other common colours in their environment (black, white, brown) | Differentiates shades within primary colours and secondary colours (e.g., light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green) | Attempts to predict resulting colour when two colours are mixed (e.g., blue and yellow makes green, or red and white makes pink) | Predicts resulting colour when two colours are mixed | Experiments and use colours in art forms and drawings, decorating, display |
Groups objects based on their colour (e.g., all red things together) | Groups objects based on dimension – length, breadth, height (e.g., all long things together) | Groups objects based on combinations of visual characteristics of colours and shapes (e.g., all red triangles together, all large green leaves together) | Makes patterns, solves puzzles, plays games using identification and grouping of various shapes, colours and shades |
