I am a foundation phase student teacher in the next 2 years, I will be educating in the foundation phase, I chose to study teaching because I like young kids and they are easy to be controlled and they always learn and listen to someone older than them. young learners are not difficult to deal with that’s why I like them.

Study unit 1: holistic development

Holistic development essentially means the development of intellectual, mental, physical, emotional, and social abilities in a child. Holistic education instills curiosity and develops better communication and social skills. The holistic approach encourages children to make a connection in a subject, using their creative skills. Develop psychological, social, and emotional growth and motivate children to learn and know more.

Musical development in the foundation phase is of utmost importance. Children when participating in music and movement activities turn to improve their skills in various factors. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression. For children and adults, music helps strengthen memory skills.
