When planning a lesson you should make sure to include aspects such as art intergration, holistic development, music and all the parts that come along with it not forgetting the three theories that goes qlong with the topics. Music is broad so don't forget to include music everywhere. Activities such as introducing the topic should start with music at first thenduring the lesson to refresh children's minds, music should be added.
Art intergration is the most important things that needs to be taught foundation phase learners because it helps be open minded, think outside the box, being creative and many more. It is a must to utilise art intergration in the foundation phase curriculum.
I believe music and art intergration are most important things that should always be done in foundation phase class and i will never change my mind to that. As i said, it is very important for foundation phase learners to be taught music and art intergration as it lead to them being developed physically and helps a lot in making them take part and cooporating in class.
Arts intergration

Arts intergration is very very important for especially foundation phase learners because it helps learners be creative and use their skills to demonstrate their understanding of concepts, for instance, when the topic is about a family of a mother, father,son and daughter, the learners will be exepected to draw the family and that teaches leaners to be brought and be creative. Giving learners colored pencils also will lead to them being creative so it is very important for foundation phase leaners to do art intergration.
I find arts intergration the best topic and intresting because it is something that has always been there qnd many leaners loves it even at ghe high school level and intermediate phase. It is as well important because it helps leaners to express themselves better. It also helps in terms of other subjects, it is not based on only one subjects but all of the subjects. Art intergration also promotes active engagement in teaching and learning activities, experiential learning, problem solving skills, reflection and others.
Music intergration is a huge challenge because it has so many aspects. Music has a lot to do with it. Music requires much time and energy because in music you do not only need to dance and sing but learn all the aspects of music for intance, you have to know all the aspects that comes with music and you wouldn't study only one aspect but study them all.

The reason why other leaners were not comfortable is because one of them had a concern in the typebof music chosen and one had concern about dancing in front of boys due to religious reasons, yes we understand that our believes as people are different and we must respect everyone's believe as well. Leaners must be taught to accommodate other peoples cultures at a young age and taught to practice about other peoples believes so that when it come times like this, they would at least understand the situation. They were uncomfortable because the teacher did not use the song choice of the language they used to and the other one if not more from the class complained about having to dance in front of boys which offended her believe. As i said before, learners have to be taught everything regarding different cultures and belives so that they always know about them and practice them, they shouldn't be stereotype at all beacuse they are not the only tribe living in a certain country or environment. Put charts in the classroom walls about diverse leaners in classes and schools so that leaners read and be aware of certain things.

1. Zone of proximal development is all about the ability of a learner to solve problems, potential adult and peer support. It simply means that a leaner must have the ability to solve problems through teacher and peer scaffolding.
2. Erikson talks more about the influence of social interacrion and relationships on learning, he encourages team work and to socialize in school and that must be done by a teacher making learners interact with each other. Piagets is about the interaction of children and the world which focuses leaners on existing knowledge. Vygostky focuses on socio-cultural factors that influences the child, he enourages teachers to also include children's social environments as well as the influence of social factors on a personal level into consideration.
3. The very important part of holistic development is the ability of the learner to be creative, energetic and all these promotes physical development, so it is important for children to learn about holistic development at a very young age.
4. It enables most of the leaners to be physically developed and encourages them to be create and enegertic.
5. I suggest that leaners must do body percussion activity as it will make them physically developed because they will be able to dance to music and enjoy themselves.
6. I will plan my activities for leaners qccording to their backgound knowledge and experience and also looking at their socio-cultural backgound and all that. All these three theories are sort of relating to one another so i won't see any difficulty in having to plan my different activities.
