Good morning, primary 5 pupils! Today, we will be discussing an exciting topic in our Cultural and Creative Arts class: collage. So, let’s get started!
To begin, a collage is a form of artwork created by combining various materials, such as paper, fabric, photographs, and other objects, onto a surface like a canvas or a piece of paper. These materials are assembled together to form a new image or composition. Collage allows us to express our creativity by using different elements to create a unified and visually appealing artwork.
Now, let’s talk about the materials needed to make a collage. Here are some common materials you can use:
1. Paper: You can use colored paper, magazines, newspapers, or even old books to cut out shapes or images for your collage.
2. Fabric: Pieces of fabric or old clothes can add texture and color to your collage. You can cut them into different shapes or use them as backgrounds.
3. Photographs: You can use printed photographs or cut out pictures from magazines to include in your collage. These images can add a personal touch or represent specific themes.
4. Scissors: A pair of scissors will be handy for cutting out shapes, images, or patterns from the materials you are using.
5. Glue: Glue or adhesive is essential for sticking the materials onto your collage surface. You can use a glue stick or liquid glue, whichever you find more comfortable.
6. Paint and brushes: While not always necessary, you may want to add some paint to your collage to enhance the overall look or create specific effects. Paintbrushes will help you apply the paint smoothly.
7. Markers or colored pencils: These tools can be used to add details, draw outlines, or write words on your collage.
Remember, these are just some examples of materials commonly used in collages. You can also explore and experiment with other objects or materials that inspire you.
Now, let’s move on to the functions of collage. Collages serve various purposes, and here are a few:
1. Creative expression: Collages allow you to express your ideas, emotions, and imagination in a unique and artistic way. You can combine different elements to tell a story or convey a message.
2. Visual storytelling: Collages can be used to narrate a sequence of events or depict a specific theme. By arranging images and objects, you can create a visual story that captures the viewer’s attention.
3. Exploration of texture and composition: Collages enable you to experiment with different textures, patterns, and compositions. You can play with layering, overlapping, and arranging materials to create visually interesting and dynamic artworks.
4. Personal reflection: Collages can also be a means of self-reflection. By selecting specific images and materials, you can create a collage that represents your personal experiences, memories, or aspirations.
5. Cultural representation: Collages can showcase cultural diversity and traditions. By incorporating elements from different cultures, you can create collages that celebrate and honor the rich heritage of various communities.
These are just a few examples of the functions of collage, but there are many more possibilities depending on your creativity and purpose.
So, primary 5 pupils, I hope you now have a clear understanding of what a collage is, the materials needed to create one, and the functions it can serve. It’s time to unleash your creativity and start making your own amazing collages. Enjoy exploring this wonderful form of art!

1. Define drama:
Drama refers to a form of literature or performance that involves the portrayal of characters and their actions through dialogue, gestures, and acting. It is a medium of storytelling that combines elements of acting, scriptwriting, and stagecraft to bring narratives to life.
2. List the types of drama:
There are several types of drama, each with its own distinct characteristics and purposes. Here are a few common types:
a) Tragedy: Tragedy is a type of drama that typically portrays the downfall or suffering of the protagonist, often due to their own flaws or external circumstances. Tragedies evoke strong emotions and often explore profound themes.
b) Comedy: Comedy is a type of drama that aims to entertain and amuse the audience through humor, wit, and light-hearted situations. It often involves misunderstandings, humorous dialogue, and comedic timing.
c) Historical Drama: Historical dramas are based on real events or historical periods. They aim to recreate and dramatize significant moments from the past, offering insights into the historical context and the characters involved.
d) Melodrama: Melodramas are characterized by exaggerated emotions, sensational plots, and a clear distinction between good and evil. They often include elements of suspense, sentimentality, and moral dilemmas.
e) Musical Drama: Musical dramas combine dramatic storytelling with music, song, and dance. They feature songs and choreographed sequences that enhance the narrative and the emotional impact of the story.
f) Farce: Farces are comedic dramas that rely on exaggerated physical humor, mistaken identities, and chaotic situations. They often involve fast-paced dialogue, slapstick comedy, and humorous misunderstandings.
3. Identify the moral lesson from the drama:
The moral lesson or message from a drama can vary depending on the specific story being told. It is the underlying ethical or social lesson that the audience can derive from the events and actions portrayed in the drama. The moral lesson can differ from one drama to another, as each story intends to convey different themes and ideas.
To identify the moral lesson from a particular drama, it is essential to analyze the characters, their conflicts, and the overall narrative arc. By examining the choices made by the characters and the consequences of their actions, we can often discover the intended moral lesson.
For example, in the tragedy of “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare, one possible moral lesson is the destructive nature of unchecked ambition. Through the protagonist Macbeth’s relentless pursuit of power, the play highlights the tragic consequences that arise from the corruption of ambition.
Remember, the moral lesson in a drama can be subjective and open to interpretation, as it often depends on the individual viewer’s perspective and the themes explored by the playwright.

Meaning of the apprenticeship system
The apprenticeship system is an informal system of training in which knowledge is passed from a master craftsman to learners, usually young children, over a period of time. The period of apprenticeship varies, depending on the trade. It usually lasts between 2 and 4 years. The apprentice could be a boy or a girl.
However, there are some trades that are for boys or girls only. There are also strict rules and regulations that the apprentice must strictly adhere to in order to benefit from the training. However, these rules are not written down, but are imbibed or taught in the course of training for particular trades. It is however essential that the apprentice should strictly comply with them, and be fully committed to the training.
Objectives of the apprenticeship system
The objectives of the apprenticeship system include the following:
1 To assist the learner in acquiring useful skills that will guarantee a source livelihood for him or her.
2 To promote self-reliance by encouraging the setting up of cottage industries after training.
3 To aid the transfer of craft technology to trainees
4 To create opportunities for useful livelihood for those who cannot cope with Western education.
5 To give practical skills to school learners in order to help them to secure jobs easily (after school).
Trades under the apprenticeship system
The following trades are among the many trades that have the apprenticeship system in Nigeria:
1 Welding 2 Carpentry
3 Hairdressing (male and female) 4 Sewing or fashion designing
5 Shoe making and repairs 6 Watch/clock repairs
7 Bricklaying 8 Cane weaving
9 Cloth weaving 10 Pottery
11 Bead Making
Types of apprenticeship system
The apprenticeship system, as we have noted before, is an informal system of training. It is of various types.
These include the following:
1 Father/son apprenticeship system: This is mainly a system of training for young members of the family. So, persons who are outside the family may not be accepted as apprentices.
2 Mother/daughter apprenticeship system: This is also strictly a family system of training, so that non-family members may not be accepted as apprentice.
3 Master craftsman/apprentice: This is an open training apprenticeship system where anybody can be accepted for training based on set conditions.
4 Master trader/apprentice: This is also an open training system where the apprentice is trained in the particular goods which the master trader deals in. Here, the apprentice learns how to successfully trade in such goods as the master has specialised in.
Importance of the apprenticeship system
1 The system equips young ones with useful skills for earning a reasonable livelihood as adults.
2 It builds self-confidence in the trainees.
3 The training system encourages economical use of materials in order to reduce the cost of production.
4 The apprenticeship system is in itself a good form of education for young people who cannot afford or cope with Western education.
5 This system give to school leavers skills required of them by employers in order to be useful in the workplace acquired through the apprenticeship system
The apprenticeship training gives the trainee the opportunity to acquire positive attitudes that are relevant to survival, and for profitable operation as an entrepreneur. These attitudes include:
1 Hard work 2 Commitment

Good day, primary 5 pupils! Today, we will be discussing an interesting topic in our Cultural and Creative Arts class: the apprenticeship system. Let’s begin!
1. Define apprenticeship system:
The apprenticeship system is a method of learning a trade or skill through practical training and hands-on experience. It involves a master or skilled professional teaching and guiding an apprentice, who is a learner seeking to acquire specific knowledge and expertise in a particular field. The apprentice works alongside the master, gaining practical skills, knowledge, and experience, which are essential for their future career.
For example, imagine a young person who wants to become a carpenter. They would seek out a skilled carpenter to learn from. The carpenter would teach the apprentice various carpentry techniques, such as measuring, cutting, and joining wood. The apprentice would work alongside the carpenter, gradually developing their skills and knowledge in carpentry.
2. Objectives of the apprenticeship system:
The apprenticeship system has several objectives. Here are a few of them:
a) Skill development: The primary objective of the apprenticeship system is to help individuals acquire practical skills and expertise in a specific trade. Through hands-on experience and guidance from a master, apprentices develop proficiency and become skilled workers in their chosen field.
b) Employment readiness: Apprenticeships aim to prepare individuals for the workforce by equipping them with the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience. The objective is to make them job-ready and capable of contributing to the industry or trade they are training in.
c) Preservation of traditional skills: Another objective of apprenticeships is to preserve and pass on traditional skills and craftsmanship from one generation to another. By learning from experienced professionals, apprentices help ensure that valuable skills are not lost over time.
d) Economic growth: The apprenticeship system contributes to the economic growth of a community or country by producing a skilled workforce. Skilled workers are in demand and play a crucial role in various industries, thus stimulating economic development.
3. Trades where the apprenticeship system is practiced:
The apprenticeship system is practiced in various trades and industries. Here are some examples:
a) Carpentry: Carpentry apprenticeships involve learning woodworking skills, such as building structures, crafting furniture, and installing fixtures.
b) Plumbing: Plumbing apprenticeships focus on training individuals in the installation, repair, and maintenance of plumbing systems in buildings.
c) Electrical work: Electrical apprenticeships involve learning about electrical systems, wiring, and installation, as well as repairs and maintenance.
d) Welding: Welding apprenticeships teach individuals how to join metals through welding techniques, such as arc welding or gas welding.
e) Hairdressing: Hairdressing apprenticeships involve learning various hairstyling techniques, cutting, coloring, and salon management.
f) Tailoring: Tailoring apprenticeships focus on training individuals in sewing, pattern-making, and garment construction.
These are just a few examples of trades where the apprenticeship system is practiced. There are many more trades and industries that offer apprenticeship opportunities, depending on the interests and career paths of individuals.
So, primary 5 pupils, I hope you now have a clear understanding of the apprenticeship system, its objectives, and some of the trades where apprenticeships are practiced. Apprenticeships are a valuable way to acquire practical skills and knowledge for future careers. Keep exploring and discovering your passions!

MEANING OF LOCAL ARCHITECTURE
Local architecture is described as a built environment that is based upon local needs; defined by the availability of particular materials indigenous to its particular region; and reflects local traditions and cultural practices. Traditionally, the study of local architecture did not examine formally schooled architects, but instead that of the design skills and tradition of local builders, who were rarely given any attribution for the work
MATERIALS USED FOR ARCHITECTURE
- Concrete
- Wood
- Steel
- Plastic
- Stone
- Textiles
- Glass
- Brick
- Kevlar
- Bamboo
- Carbon Fiber
- Photovoltaic cells
- Earth
- Waste
- Straw
- Organic materials
Certainly! Let’s explore the topic of local architecture:
1. Define local architecture:
Local architecture refers to the style of building design and construction that is unique to a particular region or locality. It reflects the cultural, historical, environmental, and social aspects of the area, incorporating traditional techniques, materials, and aesthetics that have been developed over time by the local community.
For example, local architecture in Lagos State might showcase the distinctive elements of the Yoruba culture, such as the use of adobe walls, thatched roofs, and decorative motifs inspired by traditional Yoruba art.
2. List the materials needed for local architecture:
The materials used in local architecture depend on the availability and suitability of resources in the specific region. Here are some common materials used in local architecture:
a) Earth and clay: Local architecture often incorporates earth and clay for constructing walls, floors, and roofs. These materials are abundant and provide good insulation properties.
b) Wood: Wood is widely used in local architecture for structural elements, such as beams, columns, and frames. It is a versatile material that can be sourced locally and offers natural beauty.
c) Stone: In regions with accessible stone deposits, such as granite or limestone, it may be used for building foundations, walls, and decorative elements.
d) Thatch: Thatch, made from dried vegetation like straw, reeds, or palm leaves, is commonly used for roofing in local architecture, providing protection from the elements.
e) Bamboo: Bamboo is a versatile and sustainable material often used in local architecture for walls, partitions, flooring, and even as a structural component in some cases.
f) Palm fronds: Palm fronds can be used for thatching roofs, creating temporary shelters, or constructing walls and partitions.
3. List the types of architecture:
Architecture can be categorized into various types based on different factors, including historical periods, regional styles, and functional purposes. Here are a few common types of architecture:
a) Classical architecture: Classical architecture refers to the architectural styles inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, known for their symmetrical designs, columns, and proportionate aesthetics.
b) Gothic architecture: Gothic architecture emerged during the medieval period and is characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and ornate detailing, often seen in cathedrals and castles.
c) Modern architecture: Modern architecture encompasses a broad range of styles that emerged in the 20th century, characterized by simplicity, clean lines, and the use of new materials and technologies.
d) Vernacular architecture: Vernacular architecture refers to the local building styles that have developed over time using traditional materials, techniques, and design principles specific to a particular region.
e) Contemporary architecture: Contemporary architecture represents the current architectural styles and trends, incorporating innovative designs, sustainable practices, and advanced technologies.
f) Islamic architecture: Islamic architecture is characterized by its distinct geometric patterns, arches, and intricate decorative motifs, often seen in mosques and palaces.
These are just a few examples of architectural styles, and there are many more based on different cultural, historical, and regional contexts.
