Hi everyone

I hope you're doing well and giving your best in doing t the last final assessment for the year,it has been a very long year for all of us with this covid-19 situation we all had to adapt to new habits which we've gotten used to.

Art's integration is more than ab afterthought; teachers can use arts integration to meet the children's standards and to also deepen their academic learning. Art's integration is a powerful  instructional method to address the needs of 21st century learners.

Going through all study unit and study unit 4  I've learned that teaching in and through the arts can support learners in constructing,and communicating deep understanding of themselves, their communities and the world around them.However art's integration requires teachers to implement  cognitive skills in order to balance learning in the arts and non-arts content area.

Integrating the arts with core content area  deepens the understanding of the concept being taught,that's what arts integration is all about.

It's been hectic weeks,having to take leave for teaching practicals,and with so many assignments and test due it's been challenging to keep up,However I've learned that play is the most crucial part in the Foundation phase classroom. In this past weeks I've been at the school I've met different kind of children and I got to meet the ones who were referred to as being the slow group and what I've learned about this group is that they love singing and dancing especially if we're in the middle of a lesson they try to lose concentration then we sing and get their attention back to the lesson.

In this study unit the three types of play were the key aspects on getting play into the music education setting,I've learned that to incorporate lesson's with play,singing and dancing it is the best thing you could ever do for the children and it eases the pressure from you because sometimes it is challenging to meet all the learners requirements. However I've seen that there are those learners who become uncomfortable when having to dance in front of the class,but as days went by I've seen a huge change the were enjoying the singing activities and they gradually joined and gained confidence.

When thinking of the value of play it takes us back to the different kind of play,whereby we have free play were learners choose with what materials they want in their games,then we have guided play were the teacher chooses specific materials which learners can play with as to guide their discovery and lastly the directed play which involves the teacher instructing learners how to accomplish a given task.

Good afternoon 

My name is Bridgette Witbooi,I am 25 years old I am an only child at home

However I have a daughter,she is 4 years old.

Past weeks have been hectic because I've been struggling with network,been struggling to access efundi or any social media platforms which is a problem because feels like i am a bit behind with my school work,however i managed to stay afloat,just

 As I was about to start with going through study unit 1 my daughter got sick and I had to take her to the doctor which courses that we stay together at home and she is quiet fiesty and curious,but I managed to go through the study unit when she feel asleep.

This has been a hectic week for me,although the weather is beautiful today.

Unit 1 was very interesting it explained clearly how music develops the whole child and also the learning theories are interesting because they help you see how far the child has developed and and if their development is appropriate for their age and,this unit has taught me how music influences the child's ability to interact with others and how they build relationships.

This module is going to help me help children develop a positive self esteem and attitude towards music .

I feel that this year I will be more involved in this module compared to last year because I failed this module,because I had so much on my plate,I had to look for a place to stay I lost my job it was too much I couldn't keep up,but this year I am confident and I know my abilities and I would like to develop the children holistically by using music and to help with skills to impact their lives,hence I am teaching a grade r class.
