Topic and Context
Emotions. Understanding and Expressing Emotions Appropriately
Grade: Grade 2 (Foundation Phase)
Life Skills deals with the holistic development of the learner throughout childhood,
equipping learners with knowledge, skills and values that assist them to achieve their
full physical, intellectual, personal, emotional and social potential (CAPS, 2011, p. 13).
Understanding emotions is fundamental to Personal and Social Well-being, which is the
study of the self in relation to the environment and society (Study Guide, Unit 1, p. 2).
This topic provides learners with skills to relate positively with others, deal with
challenging situations, and develop self-awareness. The CAPS curriculum for
Foundation Phase Life Skills explicitly includes emotions as a key component,
recognising that emotional literacy is foundational to healthy development (CAPS, 2011,
pp. 13-14).
