This unit develops Reception students' fundamental movement skills through imaginative dance and creative expression, using engaging themes that capture their natural curiosity about the world around them. The focus is on building confidence in whole-body movement while developing rhythm, spatial awareness, and the ability to express ideas through dance. Through progression from simple counting movements to complex animal characterisation, students develop both physical coordination and creative storytelling abilities.
