Some schools plan to have two sports days, one for lower grades and the other for upper grades, whilst others choose to have it on the same day but in different categories of ages.

Is it best to involve everyone, from children to parents, but for some reasons some schools would rather keep it as a school-only affair?

For pupils the school sports day is usually a break from class work and so the parents love to be involved and join in as much as possible. They are quite happy to join in the races and help on the day.

Once the children move to Secondary school, the kids are quite happy to take part and help with arranging the events independently of their parents, so many secondary schools host the event during school hours just for the children. They are faced with question whether to choose some elements of the Primary games such Egg and Spoon races and three- legged games, or do to stick with track events and the more adventurous sports activities the children use in Secondary School

Read the passage below and answer questions 9 - 12.

It is so unfortunate that Africans have lost most of the cultures they cherished for many years through a relentless process of cultural erosion. Findings indicate cultural erosion manifests as loss of dignity and dented humanity; African perceptions and misconceptions that things and practices from the west are superior to those from Africa; Africans belittling and lowering their cultures to take second-rate position; trend of some Africans to view their identity through western world lenses. However, some of African communities have started efforts to bring around and strengthen African cultures: Restoration of the cultural rites of passage of the community members; and concerted campaign of fight against practices that do not go well with the African culture. Lately the debate on same gender marriage has been in the headlines of most newsprint and media houses.

Religious leaders have been in the front line in this fight. The west has however not taken this lying down. We have seen concerted effort to fight back through NGOS and tying western aids to the agenda

  1. The word cherished as used in the passage could best be replaced by
    1. valued
    2. cared
    3. preserved
    4. followed
  2. The following are ways in which loss of African culture is seen except
    1. African misconceptions that practices from the west are superior to those from Africa.
    2. Restoration of the cultural rites of passage of the community members
    3. Africans belittling and lowering their cultures to take second-rate position.
    4. Trend of some Africans to view their identity through western world lenses.
  3. Religious leaders as used in the passage may mean all the following except
    1. Monk
    2. Sheikh
    3. Bishop
    4. Politician
  4. From the passage above the phrase bring around has been used to mean
    1. stop
    2. revive
    3. change
    4. increase

Read the passage below and answer questions 13-15.

For you to make an informed career choice, you need to know about a number of things; yourself (self-knowledge); education and training opportunities. People are different and look for different things in jobs. Some people are artistic and creative in nature and therefore thrive in environments that encourage creativity. These people tend to feel limited by rules and do not like routine for example, graphic designers. Others prefer an environment with clear expectations and rules. You must know your values and interests: Values are things that are important to you and mostly influenced by family, community, religion and school. Some people enjoy careers that give them the opportunity to lead or guide whilst others prefer careers that allow them to work independently.

Interests are those things that you enjoy and like doing. An individual who likes working with money and balancing books could consider a career in accounting whilst someone who enjoys working with their hands and machines could consider a career in engineering or surgery.

Abilities are things you are able to do or qualities you possess naturally which distinguish you and allow you to do certain things that not all individuals can do. An example of ability is being able to create beautiful artwork.

Now that you have explored your interests and the type of career you are interested in, you need to know what type of training and learning you will need to enable you to enter into that career.

  1. The word opportunities as used in the passage could best be replaced by
    1. chance
    2. choice
    3. decision
    4. career.
  2. Things that are important to you and mostly influenced by family, community, religion and school are called
    1. Careers.
    2. interests
    3. values
    4. abilities
  3. After you have made an informed career choice the next thing you need to know is ______________
    1. your abilities
    2. the type of training and learning you will need
    3. your values
    4. your interests

Simba alimwacha Sungura na kumkimbiza yule Swara.Kelele za Simba akimkimbiza swara zilimgutusha na kumwamsha Sungura ambaye aliamka na kutimua mbio kuelekea upande wa kusini.

Read the poem below and answer questions 6 to 8

I started this life with fear, I was only six years old.
When I started to realize, that girls world is cold.
Just like a useless device, it's not right to complain.
I should withstand all emotional and physical pain.

I heard that one of my friends became a hero.
Because she took the out-dated cut.
That makes her so, a member of a cult
I knew my day would soon come anyway

It was never an option, it was compulsory
I had to bite my lips, hold back my tears
As I feel the knife's tip, as it painfully tears.

I grew up in pain of waiting for pain
Seeking for something to separate us
But people still wanted to hurt me
I got used to everything even if so horrible..

I guess they never cared about my emotion.
Or they would empathize knowing the sensation.
Inside me was a tremendous commotion.
I was lost in an invisible and painful ocean.

F. G. M is a nightmare, oh come the golden age.
When it will all vanish, wait for the golden age.
Come end this punishment, get me out of the cage.

Read the following passage and answer questions 12-15.

A budget is simply a spending plan that takes into account estimated current and future income and expenses for a specified future time period, usually a year. Having a budget keeps your spending in check and makes sure that your savings are on track for the future. Budgeting can help you set long-term financial goals, keep you from overspending, help shut down risky spending habits, and more.

A budget helps you figure out your long-term goals and work towards them. If you just drift aimlessly through life, tossing your money at every shiny, new object that happens to catch your eye, how will you ever save up enough money to buy a car or put a down payment on a house? A budget forces you to map out your goals, save your money, keep track of your progress, and make your dreams a reality. By seeing what money you earn and what money you have going out through a budget, you can create a map for where you need to go to get your goal, whether that is purchasing a home in a few years or going to graduate from school.

  1. Three of the following are considered when making a budget except one. Which one?
    1. Current expenditure.
    2. Future income.
    3. Current income
    4. Expenses.
  2. It is true to say that budget helps in the following ways except
    1. setting a long term financial goal
    2. stops overspending
    3. shut down risky spending habits
    4. makes one spend more money
  3. The best proverb that could be used on a person who spends without budgeting is 
    1. A fool and his money are soon parted.
    2. Penny wise pound foolish.
    3. In for a penny in for a pound.
    4. Time is money
  4. The best title of the passage above would be
    1. Spending
    2. Budgeting
    3. Money
    4. Saving
