FAREME

THE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY

FAMILY INTERACTIONS
# When families interact, the burden of work on individual families is
reduced. This is done usually through co- operative work known as work
parties(nhimbe/ humwe/ hoka)
# A family invites community members to come and give them a hand in
times of need.
# Family members of the locality work together in weeding, threshing and
ploughing or any other types of tasks or chores.
# Families that do not interact live in isolation.
# Family interactions help to reduce stress and fear.
# When one becomes critically ill, it is common to be afraid and
stressed.
# Community members may take turns to visit the sick member. Some
intervene with cash or kind.
# Prayers are usually offered and this comforts and provides relief to
both the sick and the family. Read Matthew 25:35-45.
# Death in a family brings pain and at such times the family needs
emotional support.
# Families may pay condolences and attend funeral wakes and burials to
console the deceased's family.
# Here, contributions are also made in cash or kind.
# Families may come together to celebrate weddings, birthdays or during
house warming.
# Families may also interact sharing ideas and skills. For example if
there is someone doing well in a certain area, ideas are shared in order
to develop the community.
# Families may interact as they work together in helping the needy.
# The needy include the elderly, the crippled, the dumb, the blind, the
deaf and the orphans.
# Members of the community may decide to help the elderly do their
chores.
# Another way of helping the needy is when the community do crowdfunding
to raise money to help the disabled or victims of a disaster such as the
cyclone Idai victims.
# Families must work together for the goodness of their community.
# Through family interaction, violence is reduced in resolving conflicts.

MATHS : FRACTIONS

# Proper fractions are numbers with a numerator that is smaller than a

denominator. e.g 2/7
# Proper fractions can be reduced to the lowest terms..
# To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms, we divide the numerator and
the denominator by the highest number that will divide exactly both.
# This should be done until the fraction can not be reduced further.
# For example 40/100 to its lowest terms.

40/100 divide both sides by 20 = 2/5

# Some may choose to do it this way👇�

40/100 divide both sides by 10= 4/10 , further divide both sides by 2 you
get 2/5.
# Reducing 40/100 to lowest terms and leaving the answer as 4/10 is

ENGLISH: COMPREHENSION

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

THE SABI RIVER IS DYING
A thin trickle of brown water runs slowly down a wide bed of sand.
Crocodiles and hippos were once many here but they have now disappeared.
Tributaries like Odzi and Nyanyadzi that once flowed into the river have
dried up and now the mighty Sabi is dying.
Before the drought started in 1981, the Sabi was the life-blood of all
agricultural activity in the area. But two years later, the once great
river consists of dark green pools of brown sand .Although the drought is
largely to blame for the poor flow of water, conservation experts believe
there are other reasons for the state of the river .For example, they say
that overgrazing and stream bank cultivation have caused soil erosion.
This has led to large deposits of silt in the river with the result that
the normal flow of water is affected. Also valuable top soil is lost. The
lack of water and siltation of the river are also a serious threat to the
many irrigation schemes in the Sabi Valley.
At Nyanyadzi where the first irrigation scheme was established in
1930,Cde Maoneke ,the Irrigation Officer, made this report,’’ People do
not realize that the problem is so serious. It is a matter of life and
death. We must teach the povo about the dangers of soil erosion. We must
explain what happens when a river silts up. We must show the people that
their life-blood is Sabi River.’’

Questions

1. What affected the river’s normal flow of water?

2. State one danger of soil erosion.
3. Name two of Sabi’s tributaries.
4. During siltation, what is lost that is very valuable?
5. Crocodiles were once many. Why have the crocodiles disappeared?

AGRICULTURE

METHODS OF FARMING

A: MONOCULTURE
- It is when a farmer grows one type of crop on the same piece of land
year after year.

B: INTERCROPPING
- It is when the farmer grows two or more crops on the same land at the
same time. On a piece of land where maize is grown, a farmer can decide
to grow water melons. This is done to utilise land to the fullest. Legume
crops are usually intercropped with other crops.

C: INTENSIVE FARMING
- It is whereby a farmer uses many inputs and there is high production.
The farmer maximises land to produce crops and farm animals. The yields
are high and there is high management. Small pieces of land can be used
to produce high yields. A large sum of capital or money is required here.
Inputs required include fertilisers, seeds and chemicals which are used

12
in crop production while chemicals and feeds are needed in animal
production. There is also use of machinery and skilled workers.

D: EXTENSIVE FARMING
- The farmer produces less on a big farm. This is usually done in animal
production. Animals are allowd to move around freely and search for food.
Another example is free range system of poultry production like keeping
of road runners which is usually done in communal areas. Few inputs are
used in extensive farming.

E: CROP ROTATION
- Growing different crops from different families on the same piece of
land year after year. When a crop has been grown on a piece of land, that
crop will not be grown again on that piece of land for the next three or
four years. The practice controls pests and weeds and also improves soil
fertility.
NB Legume crops should always be included in any crop rotation because
these increase soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen into the
soil. The nitrogen will be left in the soil and other crops that follow
in the rotation will use it.

Questions
1. What is intercropping?
2. What is crop rotation?
3. Growing one type of crop on the same piece of land year after year is
called.....
4. Give one advantage of intercropping.
5. In ..... farming, machinery and skilled workers are needed and high

Dear Grace

I am writing to tell you that l will not be coming for the holidays as l
have a great deal of work to do at school.

Our teacher suggested that we continue learning for further three weeks.
This is because we have not been doing well in Mathematics and our Grade
seven examinations are by the corner.

I was looking forward to having fun this holiday, visiting the park and
playing on the swings as we had planned. I am really sorry that we will
not be able to spend the holidays together.

I hope we will get ample time after writing the examinations as we will
be waiting for our results.

Please give my love to your mother and father.

FOOD PRESERVATION

# It is the treatment of food so that it can be stored for a long time

without it rotting.
# Micro-organisms which include fungi and bacteria cause food to rot.

METHODS OF PRESERVATION

# These can be divided into two types which are indigenous methods and
exotic methods.
A. Indigenous methods
a) Salting – salt is added to food. It drains out water from the food.
Micro-organisms survive on waste food. Meat, fish and vegetables can be
salted to last longer.
b) Smoking –food is placed or hung on the fire place so that smoke
goes on food. Smoke contains some chemicals from wood which kill some
bacteria and fungi. Fish, pork, cooked maize cobs and meat can be smoked.

18
c) Dehydration/ drying – it involves putting food in the sun where
there is heat to dry the food. Drying removes water from the food.
Biltong (meat), fish, vegetables and fruits can be dried.

B. Exotic methods
a) Refridgeration – keeping food in a refridgerator or fridge. Food is
frozen or stored at temperatures below four degrees Celsius. Bacteria and
fungi cannot grow or breed in very low temperatures. Milk, vegetables,
fish, meat, fruits and cooked food can be refridgerated.
b) Canning – putting and storing food in sealed tins or cans. Food is
first heated at high temperatures above ninety degrees Celsius and then
put into tins which are sealed. Bacteria and fungi get killed by the high
temperatures and will not survive in the sealed tins. Fish, meat,
tomatoes, beans, soups, jam and fruits can be canned.
c) Pickling – a chemical like vinegar can be added on food. Vinegar
helps prevent bacteria from growing on food. Fresh chips and meat can be
pickled.

QUESTIONS
1. Define food preservation.
2. What causes food decay?
3. To rot is to --------
4. When food is preserved by hanging it on the fire place, this is
called-------
5. How does salting preserve food?
6. What is canning.
7. State the chemical used in pickling food.
8. Which two micro-organisms cause food decay?
9. Under which method of food preservation does refridgeration fall?
Indigenous or exotic.

B. 40°C
C. 3°C
D. 38°C

MATHS: FRACTION STORIES

# 60 oranges were in a box. 5/6 of them had gone bad. How many oranges
were not bad?
# The 60 oranges in a box are 1 whole which means 6/6.

20
 If 5/6 of them were bad, it means 1/6 were not bad.
Thus 6/6 – 5/6 = 1/6.
Therefore 1/6 of 60 = 10 oranges which were not bad.

# Out of the 36 books the teacher had, 1/9 of them were not covered. How
many books were covered?
# The 36 books the teacher had are 1 whole which means 9/9.
If 1/9 of them were not covered, it means 8/9 were covered.
Thus 9/9 – 1/9 = 8/9.
Therefore 8/9 of 36 = 288/9 = 32 books were covered.

Bones, joints and muscles especially the heart, will actually stay
healthy if you keep them busy. Avoiding exercise has risks such as
strokes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease and overweight.

3. Avoiding smoking tobacco

Smoking is the greatest single self –imposed risk to health of all.

Risks of tobacco to the consumer are, it can cause respiratory illness,
coronary heart disease and cancer of the lungs. To the family of the
consumer, it can also cause respiratory illness, chest, nose, ear and
throat infections.

MATHS : MIXED NUMBERS

# An improper fraction is a fraction which has a numetator that is

greater than the denominator. eg 7/2 and 4/3
#A mixed number is a mixture of a whole number and a proper fraction. eg
2 wholes and 1/2.
# When converting an improper fraction to a mixed number, you divide the
numerator by the denominator. If there is a remainder, you write it as a
numerator with the denominator that is similar to the one given before.
eg 7/2 = 7÷2=3 remainder 1. Thus 3wholes and 1/2.

Convert these improper fractions to mixed numbers:

1. 3/2
2. 4/3

ART WORK IN OUR VILLAGE

Pottery making, weaving and wood carving are some of the artworks done in
Crown Range. The products are used at home while others are sold to
passers-by.

33
Three women known as the Hama Maoko co-operative make baskets and mats
using reeds. They sew and sell clothes. The trio spend most of their time
under the Msasa tree, near the show ground. They have since turned the
place into a market place. Clothes are seen hanging, displayed for people
to see and buy.

Mr Munyoro, the chairlady’s husband, does wood carvings. He makes

carvings of animals such as cows, pigs and elephants. These are also
displayed at the market for sale.

The women have become famous. Their products sell like hot buns.

MATHS : MIXED NUMBERS

# When converting a mixed number to an improper fraction , you multiply

the denominator by the whole number then add the numerator.
# The number you get as your answer becomes the numerator and you use the
denominator similar to the one given before, on your mixed number. eg
2wholes and a half = 2 × 2 +1
= 4 + 1 = 5
= 5/2.

FAREME : LINEAGES AND TOTEMS

LINEAGES
# The term lineages refers to descendants in a line from one common
ancestor.
# Lineages show a hereditary line of a family.
# They are important since we can use them to track down the history of
the family to the current living generation.
# It follows that members in the same lineage(father's line) have the
same totem.
# Lineages also establish rights of inheritance and help to solve
succession disputes in Chieftainship.
# Lineages can be illustrated on a family tree diagram.

TOTEMS
# A totem is a natural object, an animal or plant considered by a tribe
or a group in a tribe as an outward emblem of their relationship with it.
# People of the same totem are taken as relatives.
# Some people use their totems as surnames.
# A totem is used to identify a clan.
# People may have the same surname but if they don't share the same
totem, then they do not belong to the same clan despite the similarity in
surnames.
# Totems and their clan praise names are used as names and surnames.
# Common names which come from totems are; Moyo(heart) ; Shumba or
Sibanda(lion) and others.

USES AND IMPORTANCES OF TOTEMS

1. RELATIONSHIP
People with the same totem are related. Totems help people identify their
relatives.

2. SELF- ESTEEM
It seems everyone rates their totem best. A sense of pride is shown by
individuals speaking highly of their totems.

3. REGULATING MARRIAGES
Since people of the same totem are considered as relatives,marriage
between such two is regarded as taboo. A ritual of cutting the blood
ties(chekaukama) is normally performed when such mishaps occur.

35
4. CONSERVATUON OF NATURAL RESOURCES
A person must not eat his/her totem. The Shiri(bird) would not consider
birds as food, thereby reducing the danger for birds from humans. Some
animals will become safe from human exploitation, thereby promoting
conservation of resources.

MATHS : MIXED NUMBERS

CONVERTING MIXED NUMBERS TO DECIMALS

# A decimal is a form of a fraction.
# 0,3 = 3/10 hence 0,3 and 3/10 are both fractions.
# Convert 2wholes and a half to a decimal: You firstly convert the
mixed number to an improper fraction = 5/2
Then divide the numerator by the denominator.
Thus 5 ÷ 2 = 2,..
The number that is unknown for now, has to be sorted out in the next
step.
Add zero to the remainder of 1 to make it 10, then divide 10 by 2 and get
5.

38
Then the final answer is 2,5.

#2wholes and a half = 5/2 = 2,5.

THE CLASH OF THE GIANTS

ST FRANCIS NHEMA PRIMARY SCHOOL 2

VHUNGWI PRIMARY SCHOOL 2

It was a tremendous and a very close game. The players kicked their balls
swiftly and skilfully to each other. The boys from Nhema were dressed in
a white sports kit and the opponents wore a green one.

During the first half, both teams had enough determination to score many
goals than their opponents, but as time went by, the Vhungwi players were
so tired that they couldn't pass the ball. After what seemed like aged,
the hosts finally opened the gates by scoring their first goal. This even
made the disorderly spectators roar and chatter wildly.

By the time the whistle blew to mark the end of the first half, the Nhema
boys had scored two goals. Despite the challenges they were facing, the
visitors gathered enough courage and they managed to score their first
and final goal.

all the time.
# You start by defending on the front, in the midfield and at the back.

Defending at the front(strikers)

# Strikers have a responsibility of closing down the ball and pressuring

the defenders.

middle or along the wing.
# The other responsibility of strikers is to score goals.

Defending in the middle(midfielders)

# Midfielders are responsible for defending against other midfielders and

strikers.
# They can not just leave it to the defenders.
# However, if a midfielder carries the ball as far as our defense, they
have failed.

Defending at the back(defenders)

# The primary role of a defender is to stop attacks during the game and
prevent the opposing team from scoring goals.
# There are four types of defenders:
Centre-back, sweeper, full- back and wing-back.

MATHS : MIXED NUMBERS

# In 2,5, the value of 5 is tenths meaning 5/10.

# In 3,75, the value of 7 is tenths(7/10) while the value of 5 is
hundredths(5/100). The two digits after the comma(75) can be written as a
fraction as 75/100.
# In 3,4, the value of 3 is units meaning 3 is a whole number.

# Therefore 2,5 as a mixed number is 2wholes and 5/10

42
Reduce 5/10 to its lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and
denominator by 5, you get 1/2. Meaning to say 2,5 as a mixed number is 2
wholes and 1/2

# 3,4 = 3wholes and 4/10. Reduce 4/10 to lowest terms by dividing both
sides by 2, you get 2/5.
Meaning to say 3,4 as a mixed number is 3wholes and 2/5.

# 3,75 = 3wholes and 75/100. Reduce 75/100 to lowest terms by dividing

both sides by 25, you get 3/4. Thus 3,75 as a mixed number is 3wholes and
3/4.

AGRICULTURE : FARMING SYSTEMS IN ZIMBABWE

# Almost everything we eat is a product of agriculture and most of the

things we wear are also products of agriculture.
# Farmers keep animals and grow crops.
# The size of the land the farmer grows and the number of animals kept,
will give us some farming systems. These include:

1. Subsistence farming
# Growing crops and keeping animals just for the family.
# All family members work on the family fields and enjoy the products of
the fields.
# Food crops are grown rather than cash crops.
# Left overs(surplus)are then sold to get cash for the family.
# Subsistence farming is normally practised in communal areas.
# Simple tools like ox-drawn ploughs, ox-drawn cultivators and scotch-
carts are used.
# Subsistence farmers without cattle or donkeys may use their hands to
till the land.

2. Commercial farming
# Farmers grow crops and keep animals for sale.
# This farming system normally brings in foreign currency.

44
# Modern equipments such as disc - ploughs, disc- harrows, cultivators,
rollers and many other which may be too heavy to be pulled by oxen are
used.
# This farming system provides jobs to many people and the farmers
normally have farm managers.

3. Shifting cultivation
# Farmers cut down trees and burn them to produce ashes which will act as
fertiliser.
# They grow crops for some years until the land is poor in nutrients.
# They then move on to look for another place where they will do the
same.
# The system was practised long ago. It is also referred to as Chitemene.
