Year 2 PE – Dance

Year 2 have really enjoyed our dance sessions.  

They have worked on group warm-up activities to encourage co-operation, communication and team work.  The meditation exercises have taught us deep-breathing techniques and relaxation and we have taken time to be in the moment to notice our thoughts and feelings.  The dance sessions have given us opportunities to learn movement patterns and perform them as a whole-group dance accompanied by music.  The children loved using the scarves to add expression to their techniques. 

What The Student Says

“I like to learn the moves of the dances because I love dancing!” “I feel happy when I dance.” “After I’ve done dancing and I go home I relax.” “I like learning the Green, Green Grass dance because I like the song.”

What knowledge and skills have been developed?

  • developed their co-ordination skills and worked in small groups, teams and as a whole class

  • performed dances using simple movement patterns.

  • extended their agility and have been physically active for a sustained period of time.

  • engaged in mindfulness techniques to support their mental well-being.

What the Teacher says

“It has been a delight to watch the children express themselves through dance.  The scarves have added an extra dimension to their movements and their co-ordination skills have been challenged further.  The children have worked hard to listen to each other in team exercises and to try to accommodate the needs of everyone in the group.  It was interesting to hear that the sessions have supported their well-being by giving them a sense of calm."
