Year 3 are exploring dance in their PE lessons and the first session was all about ‘space’. How can we use the space? How can we move across the space? How does the music change our dancing?
We danced to ‘I Got You (I Feel Good)!’ by James Brown which is an older song from 1964 so some of the children hadn’t heard it before! The tempo is quite fast and it’s very upbeat with different instruments and singing. This guided the children to move with the beat or to the trumpets.
They thought about if their movements were curved, angular or free form.
Here’s some pictures of the children creating their routines.
Help at home by dancing to the song around the house. Can you do partner work or create a routine?
