Locomotion: can you move using high and low movements?
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can create different movement ideas as I change between moving high and low.
Key learning points
- Move: control is essential in order to move using a range of high and low ideas, while also staying in a space.
- Think: imagination enables us to create a range of ideas for performing high and low movements.
- Feel: trying our best to create a range of different ideas requires self-belief.
- Connect: listening to others and sharing ideas improves our performance.
Keywords
High - raised up a level, far from the ground
Low - positioned close to the ground

Moving at different levels challenges the body and encourages the development of ideas and self-belief to try new and challenging movements.
