Following on from their PE topic of ‘Dance’ this half term, today, the children in Year 1 continued to follow the theme of animal movements.
At the start of the lesson, the children warmed up by one person showing the rest of the class a particular movement or stretch which everyone had to follow,
The children then re-capped the animals they focused on last week (rhino, giraffe, tiger and meerkat) performing movements that each animal makes. They then played ‘corners’, where they each had to go to each corner of the room (which had an animal pinned against it) and they had to move like that animal from the corner into the middle of the circle (taking it in turns to all perform in each corner) Towards the end of the lesson, the children put together their movements to create a small performance.
