Speeds: transport
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can vary the speed of my travelling actions.
Key learning points
- Move: performing travelling actions at different speeds requires control.
- Move: performing actions with different body parts requires balance and coordination.
- Think: imagination helps us to create actions representing other things such as transportation.
- Feel: self-belief helps us to create actions without a partner.
- Connect: working together with a partner and coordinating actions requires empathy.
Keywords
Dawdle - to travel slowly
Rotate - to turn or move in a circle
Steady - a regular, even speed
Common misconception
To pretend to be an object such as a car, we have to use mime.
Miming is one way of describing an object, theme or story to an audience without using words. You will need to use your imagination to think of other ways that the audience will also understand.
Teacher tip
Challenging pupils to find a range of responses to each task will develop their imagination and creativity, giving them a selection of ideas to pick from or amalgamate.
