The days have been quite busy the last while and we don't get around to everything you hoped. I must say that I sometimes struggle to find a balance between my work and studying but I love the experience and wouldn't change a thing. 

 

This week I went through SU 3 blog information and this is what I learned:

The music activities/games was fun for most of the learners but I think that it made some of them uncomfortable because they don't know the language and think the other children will laugh at them, the same with the dancing before the whole class especially the other gender as not everyone is comfortable in their own skin. Gather the kids input about what they like to do to be able to better plan activities. We have a lot of schools with diverse learners and I feel that they must learn a bit about all the different cultures of all their classmates. First practise and learn song of different cultures in the class to the kids, make it fun and interesting for the learners to want to learn it. Don't expect learners to understand a song in another language as their home language very quickly, oractise it for a few days before combining it into a activity.
