Agriculture Junior (Grade 3 - 7) Syllabus

PROPOSED COMPONENTS OF THE PRACTICAL BOOK (DIARY)

The diary should be written in first person narration. For example, “I used a hoe to dig”

DATE: The date on which the practical activity was done should be recorded. For example 06 December 2008

TASK: Write the topic of the practical work done. For example; Weeding nursery. The topic should summarise what
was done during practical work.

TOOLS USED: on this part, the learner records the tools s/he used during the practical work. For example; hand
fork and dibber/ sticks

WORK DONE:
On this section of the diary, the learner records the actual activities s/he has done. Some may want to refer to it as
What I did, Activities or Steps taken. All is acceptable as long as it brings out what the learner did during the practical.
For example, if the practical was weeding, the following could be the activities done;
l I took a hand fork/ dibber
l I used it to lightly dig the nursery bed
l I removed the weed by hands
l Some weeds were too close to the seedling, I up-rooted them by hands
l I picked all stones that were in the bed
l I mended the ridges after weeding

WHAT I LEARNT:
some may prefer to call it “what I observed”, it will still be acceptable as long as it is a record of what the learner learnt
and observed during the practical activity. For example;
l I learnt that removing weeds by a hand fork is easy because the hand fork is light
l I learnt that removing weeds by a hand fork loosens the soil and allows air to get in
l I learnt that if I dig too deep, I will up-root the seedlings
l If I re-ridge, water will not spill from the bed
l They were many weeds in the bed such as the black jack.
