The cover page has blank lines for your school, name and TSC number.

Dates and timetable

The Ministry of Education has confirmed that Term 1 of 2027 opens on Monday 4 January 2027. When the pack was prepared (1 November 2026) the full 2027 calendar, with half-term and closing dates, had not been published, so the plan uses the usual pattern of 11 teaching weeks plus a revision week. Junior School timetables give each of these learning areas 5 lessons of 40 minutes a week. If your school calendar differs, move lessons along and record the real dates in the record of work.

Source

Strands, sub-strands, learning outcomes, learning experiences, key inquiry questions and lesson numbers come from the KICD Grade 7 curriculum designs for Mathematics, English and Integrated Science (first published 2022, revised 2024). Lesson plans, resources lists and assessment ideas were written by CBC Guides from those designs. This is not a KICD, KNEC or TSC publication and is not endorsed by them. Check it against your school’s own plans before use.
