I haven't been feeling well lately therefore this has prevented me from effectively studying like I usually do . Besides that I have managed to go through SU 1 which is very interesting and of course I learnt a thing or two from it as follows :

Holistic development is rather an approach to learning that emphasises the importance of the physical , emotional and psychological well-being of children , particularly in early childhood .

Musical development in foundation phase is of outmost importance .Children when participating in music and movement activities turn to improve their skills in various factors . In future I vow to use music in the activities I will get to teach by means of improving my learners memory , cognitive development , learning skills and expressive ability . 

Therefore it is also necessary to have some knowledge of developmental theories which aid the development of children such as Erikson's stages of psychosocial development , Piaget's cognitive development theory that includes two stages namely 1. Pre-operational stage and 2.Concrete operational stage and Vygostky and the zone of proximal development theory .
