LSKM 211 Introduction

Hello everyone.

I am Charné Vorster, a 20 year old second year student at NWU. I live a super small town, Graaff-Reinet. My town is so small there are no robots and the nearest City to us is about 3 hours away. Everyone knows everyone here. It is a very small community where everyone stands together as one. I love being surrounded by nature, hence the reason for me living in such a small town.

Well why do I want to be a teacher? I love every child, no matter who they are or how old they are. Although I love everyone, I feel the small kiddos don’t have their own voice. I want to be their voice and I want to be the change in their lives. Going from low priority to high priority. I believe a child’s education and personal life depends on how the foundation was build at an early age. 

I am very passionate about a lot of things. I am a very hyper, super active person so everything pulls my attention. I love nature, animals. I love crafting, playing, organizing and so much more, so, it really depends on the day.

I am not sure how I feel about this module yet. It is still early to tell what we are going to do. I believe it is mostly about music, and I love music. Music is like an escape from reality. Music can take you anywhere you would like to be in your mind. I believe we will learn more about music itself in education. I think we would be taught how to use the art of music in education and how students will benefit on music. Since I sang in the choir for most of my childhood I know a thing or two about music. 

I am so excited for this module and I can not wait to tell you more about LSKM 221 and to take you with me on my journey. 

Goodbye for now,

Charne Vorster

Study Unit 3: Musical play in the foundation phase.

  While it is only the middle of the week it has surely been an interesting week so far. I have been at a primary school here in my small karoo town. It was quite something different to experience since it is a less fortunate school. It was so sad to see but so heart-warming to see the children come to school to only eat the meals they are fed at break. So emotionally I am quite confused and heartbroken. But I am grateful for everything I have although we sometimes take it for granted This study unit was very interesting to work through. To learn about all the different types of play. Before I had worked through the study unit I thought of play as play. Now I know why we play in the classroom and also what types of play there is. I have also learned the importance of play in education. BASED OF ON THE STORY THAT WAS GIVEN: What possibly made some learners uncomfortable during these activities? The one learner did not understand Zulu. Unfortunately, the song the students sang wa...

Study Unit 5: Lesson planning

  Lesson planning This is a long, warm, and tiring week. Although we are in the last stretch of the last semester of our second year, I am so tired.   Every now and then I think by myself, I am almost there. I am almost halfway. Then I get so anxious because how long must we still go…and I remember how far I have come. This week has been heartwarming. I am volunteering at one of our primary schools here on my little dorpie. I can not explain to someone how awesome it is. I have gained so many courage and kindness and so much love from these kiddos. Some of these children don’t have parents nor older sisters to help them. They are all alone. In times like this I wonder how I can even complain about university work, I mean I have the chance to study further for something that is my passion. This week together with my thoughts I have known what I have wanted to put out there for the longest time… Teachers, give them a chance. Give them an opportunity. Give them hope. Some o...
