Dance and Movement

by Hazel Powell and Judy Evans

Published 16 February 1996
This book provides an invaluable resource to support teachers in delivering the dance requirements of PE National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2. It adopts a topic-based approach which links dance as a distinct art form to other areas of the curriculum. Each topic is visualized by means of a flow chart identifying possible areas for dance, and lesson examples are given for years RYl/Y2, Y3/4, Y5/6 so that a clear progression is achieved. Advice on assessment and different stimuli for dance is also given. Topics include spring, summer, autumn, winter, earth, air, water, stories, patterns, machines and materials.
