Hello, my name is Mrs. Wylie and I'm here to work with you today on the locomotion unit of work.

This is lesson three and I hope you're ready to get started.

I know you're probably remote learning right now, so what we've done is we've planned this lesson to ensure you can do it wherever you are.

Whether you're in your living room, your garden, or even your bedroom, hopefully you'll have fun playing with lots of different movements today.

Today's lesson is all about: Can you create a range of movements?

For this lesson, you are going to need a safe working space, so make sure you clear up anything that could be in your way or cause you any danger.

You're gonna need a timer and you'll need a choice of music for moving along to.

Choose something with a really good beat to get you going.

You'll also need four markers to highlight your start and your finish line.

Our outcome today is: I can create a range of different movements to travel across space.

Hopefully you'll have fun doing just that.

Our key words today, we're gonna go through as my turn and your term to help you learn them little bit better.

First one is movement.

Your turn.

Great.

Movement is all about changing your body's position or place.

Second word, my turn, imagination.

Your turn.

Brilliant.

Imagination is the ability to create ideas or pictures in your mind of things are not real or present.

My turn, self-belief.

Your turn.

Great.

Self belief is having the confidence in your own abilities and decisions.

Let's get going, shall we?

So our warm up today, can you show what you know about creating a range of different movements?

You gonna play an upbeat song of your choice and start moving to get warm in whatever way you fancy.

If someone is with you, have them pause the music randomly.

If not, you could use a song with a repeated word such as The 'Happy' Song by Pharrell Williams.

'Happy' is said quite a few times.

When the music pauses or if you're on your own and you hear your key words such as 'happy,' change your movement, try and move in lots of different ways.

In a minute, you'll see a little video will come up of a little boy called Elijah having a go at this warmup himself.

Maybe watch it to get some ideas and come back to me and we'll have a go ourself.

Can you challenge yourself to be imaginative with your movements just like Elijah?

Can you include movements which are big, small, bouncy, slow and really fast?

And can you believe in yourself to carefully try movements that you've not attempted before?

Maybe be a little bit crazy and try some different funny made up, wacky things.

Let's get started now we've had a go at that, shall we?

Okay, so today can you create a range of movements?

Our first task is to think about story time and our second stage of the lesson, we're gonna start thinking about our imaginative movements.

We're gonna start our focus on story time.

Aisha and Alex are discussing the different ways in which they moved yesterday.

Aisha said she walked to the park, they went on the swings, they climbed up the steps to slide down the tallest slide and she played hopscotch with her sister.

Alex, however, he went for a walk in the forest with his dad.

He had to jump over tree roots, using the stepping stones to get over the river and pull hard to get his wellies outta the mud.

Pretty different actions for these two yesterday.

I wonder what you were up to yesterday.

Can you show me?

Can you move like Alex had to in the forest yesterday to get through the thick mud?

Can you be imaginative and have a go at that?

Well done if you had a go.

You should have moved with big, slow, strong steps to try and keep your wellies on and avoid falling in the mud, just like a Elijah's doing here.

Really trying to work hard to get that wellie out of the mud and staying on his foot.

Well done, you guys.

Aisha says, "Alex, what do you think our movements had in common, even though they're really different?

" So if we remember, Aisha went to the park and Alex, he went for a walk in the forest, didn't he?

Alex said, "I think all of our movements needed good control.

When traveling through any space, we need good control.

It helps us move safely, efficiently, and with purpose.

" So when you were moving a minute ago and that Show Me task, you happen to use good control to pull those wellies out and keep your wellie on the end of your foot, didn't you?

Little bit of a check question for you.

True or false?

Good control is important when traveling across and through different spaces.

What do you think?

Well done, those of who answered true.

Why?

Controlled movement allows you to maintain balance and travel exactly where you intend without wasting energy.

Control helps you reduce the risk of falling or bumping into others.

So it's super important whether we are learning remotely in our homes, in the garden, or even if we're at school.

We must have control with all our movements to help keep us safe and perform our best.

We're gonna get in some movement now.

This is all about our story.

We're gonna go for a movement story for small spaces and big imaginations.

Can you follow along with this story and create your own movements using your imagination?

Feel free to start moving experimenting as I talk through the story with you now.

We'll find at the end of my story, we'll see how Elijah moved through all the different parts and then maybe you could pause and have a little go at moving through your own adventure story.

You ready to get started?

So Alex says, "Can you show us that you are ready to be a brave explorer?

" How may you stand if you're a brave explorer ready to go?

The air is cold and the ground is rocky.

We need to climb the misty mountain, get your knees high and climb up that mountain.

Nice and steadily.

Well done.

Are we getting hit at the top yet?

Aisha says, "At the top of the mountain, we spot a rushing and swirling river.

Luckily there are stepping stones.

Can you jump across?

Land softly and bend your knees.

" Can you do it?

Well done.

The stones are getting a bit smaller, but how might you change your movements?

Maybe you'll go on our tiptoes and try and fit on each of those stones.

Oh, don't get too wobbly.

Remember that control.

And Alex says, "Around the corner, we find a friendly but sleepy dragon.

Don't wake it!

Can you tiptoe quietly past with your arms out the balance.

" Get around the dragon.

Shh, don't wake him.

Go around him.

Aisha: " Suddenly the wind rushes through the trees and creates a really strong wind tunnel!

" Can you balance from side to side and hold really strong as you move through that wind tunnel?

Maybe you could run up and down your space, balancing.

Alex carries a story on and says, "We've entered the jungle and there are vines hanging down from everywhere.

Can you duck under the low ones and can you step over the tall ones?

" Could you practice going really low and coming up really high, working through your space?

Aisha says, "We've made it safely to the forest, but to keep safe as we go through it, we have to not disturb the monkeys.

We need to act and move like a monkey so we camouflage and blend in.

" Can you move like a monkey in your working space?

Good job.

"If you spot one, you are to pause and hold your best monkey pose for five seconds.

" So if we keep moving through, oh, I see one!

Hold it for five seconds without moving or he'll see you.

Let's go again, moving like your monkeys.

Good job.

And we pause.

Don't let them see you.

Good job, if you played along.

Alex says, "Oh no, the temperature is suddenly dropped and the ground has turned to slippery ice!

Can you glide your feet slowly along the ground and keep those arms out for balance to stop you from falling over?

" If you've got socks on, you can slide a little bit easier maybe.

Have an experiment with that sliding movement.

Aisha says, "We've arrived at the cave of echos!

Can you walk quietly, placing one foot in front of the other like you're on a tight rope?

" Can you follow that line and go really slowly.

"Now switch to big stomping steps.

Can you make the cave echo, echo, echo?

" "The gap to get out is really small," says Alex.

"We need to roll under the rock.

The treasure chest is locked with magic energy.

Five of your strongest, biggest jumps should open it!

" So if you've already done your role to get out of the cave, can you now do five big, strong jumps to make sure you can open it?

Did it open?

Yeah!

Good job.

The medal of bravery inside that chest is all yours.

Maybe you can put it over your neck and wear it with pride.

Okay, so what's gonna come up next is a little video.

This is Elijah having a go at going through his story, following all these steps Aisha and Alex have talked through.

Maybe have a little watch and follow along with him as he goes through all these stages.

Or you can maybe make up your own story and have your own little movement adventure.

Be fun to be really creative and imaginative, wouldn't it, with what happens?

Will you have a sleeping jacket in your adventure?

Have little watch.

Okay, let's have a little reflection on what we've learned so far.

Were your movements across and through space controlled during that story and your exploration?

Aisha said she moved slowly using her arms to balance and she kept looking where she was going to avoid bumping into things.

How about you?

What was your movement like?

Did you use your imagination to create a range of movement ideas in your story?

Alex said he used expressive movement and changed what he was doing to match the story.

He also added character and emotion and made sure his movements were different for every part.

That's brilliant, Alex.

Well done.

How about you?

Did you start to use your imagination and start to get really creative too?

Let's move on now, shall we, and move on to the second part of our lesson, trying to create some imaginative movements.

Aisha and Alex are discussing the different movements they made in their stories.

Aisha said she thought she was really quick at tiptoeing around the dragon.

"Do you want a tiptoe race, Alex?

" Love that.

Alex says, "I'm sorry Aisha, but I'm really not very good at racing, so no thank you.

" Oh, poor Alex, he's definitely is lacking some self-belief, isn't he?

See, look, Aisha says, "I'm sure you are great!

You just need some self-belief.

" So we need Alex to believe in himself a little bit more.

I'm sure he'd be great at tiptoe race, and what fun.

So a little check to see what you think.

What does Alex need to help him feel more positive about racing?

Does he need fear, confidence, or self-belief?

Great job if you said self-belief.

It is so important that we believe in ourself to help us achieve what we are capable of, we just don't realize it yet.

So important in every stage of life to do that.

"Come on Alex, I believe in you," says Aisha.

"We will make it fair and measure out five meters in our home and time how long it takes us to tiptoe the distance.

" Great idea.

Alex says, "Okay, that sounds really fun.

Let's do it.

I'm gonna to focus on self-belief and I'm gonna really try my best.

" Can you have a go?

Look, this is Elijah.

He's measured out his distance and he's done his little tiptoe race as fast as he can.

I think he's doing his best, isn't he?

So could you do it?

Measure out a distance, get on your tiptoes and go as fast as you can.

Have a little go.

Believe in yourself, I'm sure you'll do great.

Hope you got on all right.

Let's have a little check again, shall we?

So Aisha suggested a fair race to make it more fun, but how did she ensure it was fair?

Did she ensure the same distance?

Did she have different start times?

Or did she say, "How about you choose your own movement?

" What do you think made that race fair?

Really well done if you set the same distance.

That really makes sure, doesn't it, that we all have equal opportunity to be able to do really well if we start and finish in the same place?

Okay, let's move on to another task, shall we?

This time you wanna use teddies, socks or other safe items to mark out a start and finish line in the longest section you have in your home or in your garden.

You're gonna choose four different imaginative movements.

Normal movements really aren't allowed in this one, so you need to use your imagination to do something a bit creative.

You're gonna time your movement from the start to the finish line or get someone else to do that for you if you have someone around.

Whichever movement is the fastest, repeat it fairly three times and try and beat your best time.

Remember your self-belief and say to yourself, "I can do this.

" So set up your start and finish line now with some safe items.

Have a little think about your four different imaginative movements and be as creative as you can.

Start at your start line and finish at your finish line and really have a go at working out which of your four movements is the fastest.

Then whichever it is, try it three more times and see if you can make yourself even faster.

Your self-belief, I'm sure no doubt, will enable you to do it.

This is how you might have your start and finish and this one we've got some socks and some teddy bears and a beanie marking your start and finish line.

In a minute, there's gonna be a little video of Elijah having a go at this task in his living room.

Once you've had a watch and you know what you're doing, you are all set up, have a go yourself.

How did you get on?

I hope you came up with some really crazy movements and you had a really good time doing it.

I wonder which was your fastest one.

I wonder if you managed to make it even faster.

Let's reflect a little bit, shall we?

Did you use a range of movements with control when traveling between your start and finish lines?

I hope you did.

Aisha said she used backwards, forwards, sideways, zigzag, high and low movements.

All of them were unique and well controlled.

They sounded interesting, don't they?

Did you demonstrate self belief when you were racing?

I hope you said to yourself, "I can do this.

" Alex said he tried really hard to believe in himself and did his best, never giving up until he beat his time.

That's a brilliant attitude, Alex.

Did you race fairly when you were trying to beat your best time?

Aisha said she stuck to the rules and made sure she used the same movement consistently and started and finished in the same place.

Everyone enjoys competition when it was about trying our best and not beating other people.

Hopefully you did the same.

Hopefully you really stuck to the rules and did it fairly to work out your best time.

Were you imaginative when creating your movements?

Alex said he was really imaginative and came up with movements in different directions using different parts of his body in unique and fun ways.

I'm sure you did that too, didn't you?

Let's cool down a little bit now, we've done lots of moving today.

Use your imagination to create movements that are slow and controlled to cool your body down.

The best movements will be those where you've again, used your imagination really well and you've kept it really different and unique.

Move between your markers, which are probably still out whilst taking some deep breaths and slowing yourself down.

Here's a couple of examples of how Elijah moved.

He did a few floor sweeps, some slow arm circles.

What can you come up with?

Whilst you're moving, have a little think about how imaginative you are today, and if you think you demonstrated good self-belief.

What could you do between now and our next lesson to practice your skills further, do you think?

How could you keep using that imagination to create some different movements, make it really fun and enjoyable?

Well done everyone.

You've done a really good job today.

Let's have a little think and reflect on what we've done today.

You've traveled across and through space using a range of movement ideas, which has required your control.

You've created a range of ideas for moving your body and that's really required your imagination.

When racing, hopefully your self-belief has enabled you to keep trying and to never give up.

And I'm sure you raced fairly to ensure everyone enjoys the competition.

Racing fairly between your set distances will enable you really work out what you needed to do to help you beat your own time, so well done if you did that today.

I really appreciate how much effort you put in.

Well done.
