KS1 Dance – Toys
This half term Emerald Class have been learning different ways to dance. We have been doing this by pretending to be different types of toys!
As Jack in the Boxes we danced a duet using act and react, with one child acting as the Jack in the Box and the other reacting to its movements. As Morph, we used our bodies to show a playdough man being made with many different changes in height and speed. And as clockwork toys, we listened to the beat and rhythm of music and moved in different ways as we pretended to be a clockwork band.

- Opening the curtains and blinds to let light in
- Turning off lights when we leave a room
