Justin Fletcher has the second session in this unit exploring nursery rhymes through movement.
2. To market, to market!
In the second session the rhymes of ‘To market, to market’, ‘Hot cross buns’, ‘Green cheese, yellow laces’, ‘There was an old woman’ and ‘Horsey, Horsey’ take the children back to an old-fashioned market. They develop pathways further, taking turns to travel in and out of seated children. The work extends into creative tasks with a partner, using some contact. Rhythmand phrasing continue to be central and the programme ends by reminding us of the role of dance in health, fitness and well-being.
