Why this why now
The unit will reinforce key subject knowledge from prior learning, through narrative methodologies enabling pupils to imagine, create, interpret as well as connect physical, linguistic and cognitive learning from other curriculum areas. Pupils will continue to develop motor competence to complement their wider physical education experience whilst introducing opportunities to be expressive and respond to creative stimuli such as the spoken word and music. Later in this unit pupils will develop, extend and build upon the foundational movement teaching and creative play.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils can move into and maintain a safe working space.
- Pupils understand why we have to move into a space.
- Pupils can apply simple spatial, dynamic and relational devices.
- Pupils are able to coordinate and control their bodies to perform movements.
- Pupils will be able to link movements together in sequence.
- Pupils can confidently perform and experiment with moving in a range of ways.

Dance: my moves, my journeys
A narrative approach consolidates core learning of Action-Space-Dynamics-Relationships and introduces elements to expand dance knowledge. Pupils combine making artistic decisions by responding to creative tasks. When performing, pupils reflect, analyse and share ideas using simple terminology.
