Hello everyone.     ​

Part 1:

 This week has gone pretty well compared to last. I am feeling ready to take on the world. I got my assignment's mark back this week and I'm quite proud of myself. Hard work pays off. Nothing has inhibited my learning this week except for the Northern Cape's heat. O boy its that time again for us here in the warm Northern Cape. What lies like a mountain in front of me is the WVOS 222 assignment and test. Guys I'm super worried about the subject. But I know with the help of the Lord and hard work I will make it.

Part 2:

This week, as I worked through the content, I became aware of all the different ways that teachers can integrate the Arts into their lessons and how closely the Arts are actually connected to our every day lives without us even realising it. I became aware of how integration of the arts in the foundation phase makes the lesson so much more fun and that every student, no matter their race, gender, background, learning style or even current level that they are on, is able to join in, express themselves, showcase their knowledge and enjoy themselves.

I learned that because of the rich experience that the arts bring the students really connect to and internalise the knowledge that is being learned. The concept that was most significant for me this week was that even though children may come from different backgrounds, and specifically disadvantaged backgrounds, they can take part in activities which integrate the arts and can actually get to the appropriate level in a much more fun way than simple, conventional teaching

Till next time!!!

Keep save.
