Year 2s Groove into Health and Wellbeing with Dance!

As part of our Health and Wellbeing focus this term, the Year 2 Students enjoyed two dance sessions. The students were supported to dance alone and with a partner, following instructions and creating movements to music. With Kelly’s guidance, the students worked together and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 

On Tuesday the 18th of February we had a dance lesson with Kelly.

First we had Kelly come over and she taught us how to do the Hand Up dance.

Next we did a partner dance.

Then we did the Diamond dance and we did it on the Green.

Finally we talked about how we felt.

I loved it!

At school Kelly came to teach us a dance lesson.

Firstly we did an individual dance called Right Hand In The Air Dance.

Next we learnt an amazing dance -  it was called Hustle Rock.

Then we did the Body and the Diamond game. The Body Game is where we dance and when the music stops the person will say something like ‘nine hands’ and you have to make a group of nine hands. There is also the Diamond game, it is my favourite game! You have to make a diamond and each person has to copy the lead person.

Finally, Kelly said goodbye and left the school.

All the dancing made me feel good.
