LCP1501 ASSIGNMENT 4
SEMESTER 1 2023.
, Question 1
Explain how you would use the principles of how young children learn in your
planning to teach young children a new song. (10)
For children to learn a new song effectively, it must be sung or played a
number of times. The number of repetitions will also depend on the length, the
difficulty of the melody and the words, and the level of musical development
A teacher should communicate the mood and spirit of the song with their
body, and especially with their facial expression
Play the song over and over throughout the day, even if it is just as
background music when they are busy with other work. Then you can teach
the words.
A Teacher must know the song well and show confidence
Create a positive learning environment: Young children learn best when they
feel safe, secure, and supported. Make sure that your classroom or learning
space is welcoming, comfortable, and free from distractions. Establish clear
rules and routines, and make sure that children know what is expected of
them.
Use repetition: Repetition is important for young children’s learning. They
learn through repetition, and it helps them to remember new information.
When teaching a new song, repeat it several times using different methods to
reinforce the melody, rhythm, and lyrics.
Use multisensory approaches: Young children learn through their senses, so
it’s important to use a variety of multisensory when teaching a new song. For
example, you could use hand gestures or body measurements to reinforce the
rhythm or melody. You could also use props, such as scarves or instruments,
to engage children’s senses and make the learning experience more
interactive.
Build on children’s interests: Young children are more likely to engage in
learning when it is related to their interests. When teaching a child a new song
try to incorporate themes or topics that are relevant to children’s lives or
whatever they are interested in.
Question 2
Develop activities to show your understanding of the following in a dance
class in the Foundation Phase classroom:
2.1 Warm-up activity
Dynamic stretching is a movement-based type of stretching. It uses the muscles
themselves to bring about a stretch. It's different from traditional "static" stretching
