Enriching the Curriculum is providing rich learning experiences for the students I teach. These experiences could have different learning areas integrated into. The experiences and opportunities that we have in class must be suitable for the students and their needs. Values and key competences must be integrated into all teaching and learning.

The word that seems to come to me is discernment. Knowing your students, allowing them to be motivated to learn, and know when to take more lead. Integration seems to be really beneficial for allowing the students to see the connections and importance of their learning. Topics that are relevant in your classes' culture context.

It must be hard to plan when you might not know some of the cultures that are coming into your class (as Van Brumelen's reading suggested to plan roughly for the year). I'm wondering how to effectively plan enough to let the learning move freely, but not feel overwhelmed with lack of preparation.

I believe that there is many ways as teachers we can enrich the curricilum for our students. One way I beleiev we can do this  is by making the learning personal to our students by drawing on their own expereinces and intrests so that they feel motviated to learn. Another way I beleiev we can do this is by including experiences outside the classroom and in particualr involving the wider community. This will give students another perspective.

We can enrich the curriculum by:
- Teaching from an approach that includes aspects from both the traditionalist and constructivist approaches.
- Catering our teaching style to benefit the children, helping them gain the most from their learning.
- Including Biblical values and principles in our teaching.
- Being aware and prepared to adapt lessons as they are in progress.
- Revisiting unit plans and lessons to alter and better them for next time.

There are many ways in which we can enrich the curriculum for students in our classroom;
1. Incorporating both traditional and constructivist approaches where appropriate.
2. Teaching the curriculum in a way in which the students feel they can relate and apply information gained to other aspects of learning.
3. Differentiation : does what your teaching cater for the diverse learners you have in amongst the classroom?
4. Everything is based and drawn from a biblical perspective.

We can enrich the curriculum for students in our classroom by incorporating both traditionalist and inquiry teaching approaches with an overarching foundation based on biblical principles.

We can enrich the curriculum for the students in our classroom by including a range of different approaches when teaching. Using the most effective aspects of these approaches means students can access their potential and work in the way that suits them.

We can enrich the curriculum by having horizontal unity. We can achieve this by taking the best parts of constructivist, traditionalist and Biblical teaching approaches and using them appropriately within the classroom context.
These methods involve teaching and creating practical learning experiences that are rich with morals/ethics that are student centered and have clear boundaries and expectations.

Enriching the curriculum as Christian educators stems from our own understanding of biblical principles and values. Ultimately if it aligns with said principles and values it will inherently be enriched because it is from God. If we know our students holistically as individuals as we are called to do, and apply what we know about our students to our planning, the curriculum will be

Enriching the curriculum can be done by having strong relationships with your students and taking time to get to know them on a personal level. By doing so, you are able to identify their learning styles and adhere to them. Also using both traditional and constructivist approaches to teaching but having a healthy balance. Another way to enrich the curriculum is by teaching the way in which Christ did - modelling the different tendencies and dispositions that He did.

We can enrich the curriculum through integrating learning areas into one another to give students a broader understanding of the learning. We could also incorporate our own personal values and convictions (preferably Biblically guided!) into the teaching to allow students to grow in character and integrity while they learn.

How we can 'enrich' the curriculum for students in our classroom:
By having a balance of approaches (tradition & constructivist) that create meaningful learning experiences that are appropriate for learners.
By carefully considering the planning (and resources) that we use to teach. It is important to integrate subjects to allow students to understand a holistic way of learning and being able to connect learning areas with life/world experiences. It is important to have intentional and well-thought learning intentions which provides guidance for students' learning. Lastly having a biblical foundation that is integrated by your teaching and planning to help students build morals and values.

We can enrich the curriculum by understanding our children as individuals and then applying the curriculum to their needs. It is so important to use the holistic approach of teaching as well. Also using all types of learning styles (Kinaesthetic, aural, visual, verbal etc). Incorporate the Bible, and giving the children real life experiences, that lessons can be taught for life.
