STUDY UNIT 3

I loved this study unit.  I have learnt a lot.  I was so interesting for me.  In the Foundation Phase it is much more than just play.  Children learn so much through different types of playing.  I found it very interesting that there are different types of play: Free play, guided play and directed play, and that the children develop different skills and concepts through each type of play.  The different types of levels of social play, taught me that children at different age groups are building relationships and developing important social skills through each level of play.  There are 7 elements of play.  That part was so nice for me.

I think is very difficult to accommodate each and every child's needs regarding cultural, diverse and religious backgrounds.  It makes it very challenging for the teachers, but I also think it makes it very interesting for teachers to teach.  Teachers can learn new ways of teaching.
