REMOTE LEARNING ACTIVITY BOOK
(RELAB)
SUBJECT: FITTING & MACHINING
GRADE: 10
LEARNER WORKBOOK
1
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THE RELAB

The Covid 19 pandemic has caused serious impact to schooling resulting in major
learning loss and instructional time. This scenario has resulted in school implementing
rotational timetables-where learners attend school on alternate days or weeks. The
Remote Learning Activity Book was conceptualized to engage learners in constructive
learning on days they are at home. Hence the RELAB was developed as a strategy to
enhance remote learning.
The RELAB is underpinned by the following Legislative demands:
a) Responding to GDE Strategic goal 2 promoting quality education across all

classrooms and schools
b) DBE Circular S13 of 2020 the requires the GDE to support the implementation of
the Recovery Annual Teaching Plan (RATP)
c) GDE Circular 11 of 2020 requiring districts to issue Learning Activity Packs to
support schools for lockdown learning. Understanding learning constraints at home
as majority of learners do not have access to devices or data to use for online
learning. Many households are depending on schools to provide them with learning
resources packs
RELAB is designed as workbook with activities based on the Revised Annual Teaching
Plan. The exercises are pitched at a standard to expose learners at Grade 10 & 11 to
content at different cognitive levels. The NSC diagnostic reports in different subjects
have revealed that learners fail to analyse questions and as a result fail to respond
accordingly.
The RELAB is intended to ensure that learners work on exercises that consolidate and
reinforce topics taught while at school. These exercises are be completed at home
and would receive feedback as groups or individually when at school. It is therefore of
paramount importance that teachers assess the work with learners in class, as a way
of providing constructive feedback. Teacher are also required to diagnose learner
responses, remediate where necessary and plan further intervention.
Educators are encouraged to create whatsapp groups to remind learners on what is

expected of them in a particular week/ day(s). Effective utiisation of the RELAB activity
book would further ensure that all topics in the RATP are covered simultaneously.
Feedback from learners at home will confirm usage of the RELAB material and assist
to prepare learners for formal assessments.
