KS1 & KS2 physical education curriculum

This unit will expand on pupils' ability to create a range of actions and perform them in sequence. Pupils will be challenged to apply flow to their sequences, as well as being able to move to the beat and keep accurate timing. Later, pupils will apply canon, unison and mirroring to their work in order to challenge their creativity.

1. Dance: can you move in time to the beat and link your actions together?
