DANCE (PE)
Our specialist dance teachers will be a role model and promote a healthy active lifestyle.
Dance lessons deliver the following attainment targets of the PE programme of study:
Key Stage 1
Pupils will be able to:
- master basic movements including running and jumping
- Develop balance, agility and co-ordination
- Engage in co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations
- Perform dances using simple movement patterns
Key Stage 2
Pupils will be able to:
- apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement
- communicate, collaborate and compete with each other
- develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance
- perform dances using a range of movement patterns
- compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best
All children are encouraged to take part, have fun and succeed. Our practitioners will differentiate lessons for a range of children’s needs and extend gifted dancers so that all children make progress and feel a sense of achievement. We will provide schools with assessment information about children’s progress during PPA cover lessons and how well they have met or exceeded expected outcomes.
