What a week it has been!!! Phewww, being a mother of 2 small children, working full time and studying is not easy. Getting everything done takes serious planning. I wish I could add a few more hours to each day. 

I found the development theories and stages of Erikson, Piaget and Vygotsky very interesting. We have studied them previously in other modules but I really enjoyed recapping on them again. I also enjoyed learning about the fact that music can help to increase fine and gross motor skills as well as co-ordination in the middle childhood. I was not aware of the fact that all the above skills can lead to the ability of playing a instrument and singing. I am not  musical so this was very interesting to learn about. I think the fact that I am not musical makes me quiet stressed about this module. I can't even keep a note!!! To be honest I am not comfortable or confident with teaching music thru movement in the foundation phase, but if I must choose between music education or physical education I will choose music education. The proven benefits is awesome. The benefits in auditory and cognitive processing skills is only 2 of the benefits that I made my choice on, not even to mention that music is proven to improve social and emotional competency. So music it will be. I can't wait to learn more about music in the foundation phase. 

Till I blog again.

Good night
