Todays workshop was very interesting to see how dance and movement can link into a large variety of other areas of the curriculum- like lesson topics.
Through using a stimuli the use of movement can help the understanding of children in a different way to the topics that they are learning about at the moment. This is very useful as it is good for children to experience different types of learning.
Before attending this workshop I had never considered using dance and movement in lessons for explaining information. However, after this workshop I am encouraged to as it allows for children to express themselves and develop their confidence and understanding.
From this workshop I will take forward:
- The positive ways to reassure the children that we were taught.
- The ways to help children build relationships with other members of the class and build their confidence.
- To be open-minded to new ideas of teaching methods that I have not experienced before, as well as collaborating with other colleagues.
