This unit uses the magical transformation of plants as inspiration for Year 1 students to develop fundamental dance skills through imaginative movement. The natural growth theme provides a perfect scaffold for building movement vocabulary, from simple rhythmic responses to complex collaborative sequences. Through embodying the journey from seed to flowering plant, students develop both technical dance skills and creative expression whilst connecting movement to their understanding of the natural world.
