A cold and frosty unit of four dance sessions exploring winter presented by Paul Panting. Please note that the final session - Snow city - has references to Father Christmas and thus may be more appropriate used at the end of Autumn term before the Christmas holiday.
Winter wonderland
A cold and frosty unit of four dance sessions about a snowy landscape. In the first session the children to take a ‘through the window’ look at the winter wonderland outside. Preparing to play means dressing up warm and stepping out to meet a friend. Throwing small snowballs and pushing a large one are just two of the different movement opportunities developed. The following sessions include: moving on slippery, icy surfaces…hibernating as hedgehogs or moving as migrating birds…and a visit to a very special city to meet a very special person.
