LESSON PLAN: DANCE: YEAR 1: WEEK 5

LESSON OBJECTIVE: To learn how to create and demonstrate a clear beginning, middle and an end to their routines.

audience when we are starting and when we finish, by holding

percussion instrument, ask pupils to hold a shape at the beginning,

when the tambourine starts to shake they move around the

space, and when the teacher stops using the tambourine they

have to stop in a controlled manner and hold a still position

again. Highlight any good positions that create a stable balance.

Develop: Back with their partners from previous week. Can they

add a start and a finish position to their routines?
