Although this week is recess week - I find myself working hard and trying to get ahead with assignments and my to do list.

This study unit highlighted the importance of arts integration into all subjects in the foundation phase. It also provided me with insight on how arts integration will benefit learners in terms of getting them fully engaged in learning and also making it a fun way to learn.

By reading the theory behind arts integration there is clear evidence through research that supports the benefit of arts integration in the foundation phase. I am not a teacher yet but I can see myself using arts integration in teaching subjects like English reading and writing, life skills and mathematics as this makes it fun for learners and also fosters collaboration. I think if teachers are using arts integration in their lessons, they using different methods to ensure their learners are able to demonstrate and apply what they are learning. 

I found the examples of how integrating arts into your teaching in other subjects very interesting. It provided easy practical examples that are fun and interesting and a definite way to spark interest in learners.

To be honest, there was'nt anything in this study unit that I found challenging. I thoroughly enjoyed the research provided on the topic which made me ''dig'' a little deeper and to do further reading on the subject. It definitely sparked my interest!
