When we plan performing arts classes for the Foundation
Phase, we can go to the internet to find ideas. What we
need to teach and the outcomes the learners must
achieve can be found in the curriculum statements. Below
is a story linked to the theme: Bear hunt. Below are two
links to videos telling the same story in two different
ways. Use the video recording to answer the following
questions. Question 1 [10] 1.1 Bears are not indigenous
to South Africa or Africa. In your introduction to the
performing arts lesson, how will you integrate across the
curriculum to create context? (3) 1.2 Once you have
watched the videos, visit the curriculum and familiarise
yourself with the curriculum outcomes in the Foundation
Phase. Select an outcome from the curriculum that can
be taught through the story (video) and motivate your
decision. (2) 1.3 Create a warm-up activity for the lesson
that is aligned to the theme. (2) 1.4 Develop a sensory
awareness activity based on the storyline and video. (3)

To address the questions for your LSP1501 assessment related to performing arts in the
Foundation Phase, here are some ideas:
Question 1.1: Integrating Across the Curriculum
In your introduction to the lesson, you can integrate subjects like Geography, Life Skills, and
Science to create context for learners who may not be familiar with bears. For example, you
could discuss animals that are native to Africa, like lions, elephants, or antelope, and compare
them with animals from other parts of the world, like bears in North America or Europe. This
helps create a global awareness while staying connected to familiar animals. You could also
introduce the concept of habitats, discussing where different animals live, such as forests,
savannahs, or mountains.
, Question 1.2: Curriculum Outcome Selection
An appropriate curriculum outcome for a Foundation Phase performing arts lesson could be from
the Life Skills subject, specifically focusing on "Creative Arts" where learners are encouraged to
express themselves through drama, music, and movement. For instance, the outcome might focus
on learners' ability to "participate in dramatic play using different characters." This story (the
bear hunt) can engage learners in role-playing different characters, from explorers to the bear,
while developing imagination and teamwork.
Question 1.3: Warm-Up Activity Aligned to the Theme
A fun, bear hunt-themed warm-up activity could involve learners pretending to be different
animals moving through various environments (like in the story). For instance, they can "crawl
like bears" through the forest, "hop like frogs" across a river, or "run like deer" through the
meadow. This helps develop gross motor skills while linking to the theme of exploring different
terrains.
Question 1.4: Sensory Awareness Activity
For a sensory awareness activity, you can have learners close their eyes and listen to the sounds
associated with the story's environments, such as the rustling of leaves, water splashing, or the
crunch of snow. Then, they can reenact those movements with their bodies—slow movements
for soft sounds like grass, quicker, sharper movements for rougher terrain like snow. This
encourages them to engage with the story using their senses while reinforcing their
understanding of the different settings.
Question 2 [15] 2.1 Based on the videos and the theme of
the bear hunt, develop a lesson plan (just the body of the
lesson) to show how you will teach the outcome you have
selected from the curriculum. Also indicate the grade for
which you develop your lesson. Your lesson activities
must be appropriate for the grade you have selected. (5)
2.2 Explain how you will determine if learners have
achieved the outcome of your lesson. (3) 2.3 Develop a
cooling down exercise for your lesson that is aligned to
the theme of the lesson. (2) 2.4 Identify 5 skills (try to
find one per developmental domain) that you will be able
to develop through this activity. (5)
